Short Chairman Poems

Snow, mountains, white horse
Flop side to side, bounce and flop
Majestic bumbling king...

You made a lot of promises and vows
As much sincerity as Chairman Mao
But fools like me do believe
Drunk like a New Year’s Eve
Broken faith betrayed by a sacred cow...

Dear Chairman:

It is the eleventh hour, Mr. Eleven,
nearest possible time ere it's too late.
Best days done, this is no seventh heaven.
Time will tell, will you become Xi, the Great?

I wish I could explore the whole universe
Like the journalist in town
And I dream taking copies of tall buildings
I am memorizing the continents
I used to admire the position on the screen
But now I have possessed as chairman
I seem to be a blessed child
But I'm really blessed...

After the riot-
with chairman Wuhan swirling around his head
president Trump, with bible in hand,
strolled from the embattled white house
toward a smoldering church
quoted some apocalyptic verse
then cussed out the press...
For the first time in seventeen years
the cicadas are snickering-...

The name is
Patrick O'Grady
Broad shoulders
A great man of structure
Granite chin
Hailing from
Green Irish Stock
Chairman of the board
Distinguish model citizen
Firmly rooted
In this
Green clover town
Well, I am
The real slim shady
Hello, next caller
On the line
Are you
A real
Lady...

The Founder of the Company
   The Chief of Staff
The Chairman of the Board
   Titles synonymous with 'Lord'

All rise. Pindrop silence
   Here comes the Judge
   Hearts frantically beat
Tremble as you take your seat

But the President of the United States
What excitement does his presence create...

An Ivy League school he couldn't afford
Had no talent for guitar or keyboard --
  Just sat around and stewed
  No great ideas brewed --
"Whoa! I know! I'll be Chairman of the Bored!"

When, at the annual general meeting 
of Walrus Armaments Incorporated
the Chairman, Mr. Carpenter,
reported to shareholders that,
despite the current global turndown,
business was booming
and contributing to world peace,
the  applause was thunderous.

 At the buffet afterwards
 the delicious oysters
excited comment....

A place to call home
A field in which to roam
A hundred and fifteen reasons
As many Christmas seasons

We are justifiably proud
To be one of the crowd
Come rain or sunshine
We are just fine

Under lockdown, our spirits soar
To toast each other, once more
As,our illustrious past Chairs, we praise
To Chairman, John, our glasses we raise...

Chairman
What a diligent person you are
You are a sign of greatness
You have an excellent record of corruption
Your blessing is trickling down to us
Should we hand over our future in your hands?
You have destroyed our peace of mind
Recovery is hard
We are facing a dead end situation..
Note. A villain is a person who does what he can to support evil....

The late, great legendary American crooner, Frank Sinatra
  did things "My Way." His signature song was also his mantra

  Such a fine actor he was, too; even won an Academy Award!
Lovingly nicknamed "Ol' Blue Eyes" and "Chairman of The Board"

Arrogant caterpillar
Thinking you are all of that.
We have a committee meeting.
You think you are phat!

What’s to be done? Your head is so big.
I know said the chairman.
Took a hammer and
Bam! Caterpillar arrogance smashed in all directions.

Committee meetings ran smoothly 
For a few months
Then grasshopper started getting too self-assured.
Bam! I guess you can guess the rest....

The tiger pounced,
Arrived unannounced,
She's Chairman Meow,
Don't know how,
Here anyway, 
What to say?
Fine thinking woman this,
Doesn't take any blip,
A femme of self-esteem,
A misogynist's dream!
All dance to her tune,
Is this a tiger moon?
"Yes, dear," men reply,
I only look and sigh,
Why can't I be like that?
Training men--old hat?
Really don't know how,
She's Chairman Meow....

     ~ To the tune of 'Let it Snow' ~


     The weather inside's romantic
        our ocean-liner across the Atlantic

     Perhaps outside the storm is howling
        on the couch this cat is me-owing  

     Who cares if this ship's gonna sink
        It's just a flick ~ I'll pour you a drink

     Just in case, a gentle reminder: 'The 
     Chairman of the Board' is Frank Sinatra.

John Fred had been a nice chairman,
Able to Union's Machine man:
John Fred: Your Excellent Buddy,
For years your preferred study;
Lots of quotes from his speeches
His Firmness Ideas he preaches,
Until David saw Bathsheba
With the glamour of Queen Sheba 
Out dashing like a Mad Vandal
After lust and winning scandal...

Yet, raise you not hopeless matter
You shan't Chairman's image batter
His prized life show you could scatter 
His as much prized wife's heart clatter....

He came and addressed us
in a priestly cassock and hood
eyes decorated with sage’s spectacles
shoes were those of a stage performer
and carried big diary of chairman
he talked in metaphors and ironies
and conclude his speech artistically
in parables of Christ in Mark’s gospel
pointing out,” Join the party of Christ”
Few day later I met him in a bar
“Reverend Father, thank so much.
You inspired us greatly”, I said
The sage looked me searchingly
and took off faster than he came!...
