Short Chalk It Up Poems

Chalk it up
To no reservations
Pain without
Temptations
Blessed burned
Beaten bloody
Clinging
To your shin
Mother
So what
If I can’t
Go on...

Trump bragged he was smarter than Spock 
And would race him around the block
But had to concede
When Spock took the lead
Because Trump was dragging white chalk....

My headache is a sprinter
And my Advil likes to trot,
But I'm a desperate sucker
So I give it one more shot.

The finish line approaches,
As I am well aware.
I'd hoped for a conclusion
Like the tortoise and the hare.

Alas, though, it's the headache
That has got the Advil beat
And I will chalk it up to yet
Another sad defeat....

Last night there was a star stumbling in the sky
Mumbling like an imbecile cuz it was high
Each disrespectful word
Was totally absurd
It makes me wonder... what is wrong with this guy?

He has no clue how to write poems that make sense
Guess I'll chalk it up to his mind being dense
He's a turkey and a pig
or better yet, a prig
For lacking the quality of effulgence...

Naughty Potty Pavarotti



There was a young man named Pavarotti
His parents thought he was rather naughty
Because he sang tenor
He could not draw banger
For his mom made him sit on the potty.

At the time I wrote this I was going to enter it into a contest
but as always I missed the contest. Oh well chalk it up to another
limerick has been penned....

Love with all my heart
Just before dawn
Respect in my soul
My mind is ignited

Threatening play
Reckless rivalry for profit and power

Be brave and try new things
Just chalk it up to faith
In this modern era
We were inspired by this devotion
I cannot stand being crazy

What a downer
Trying my hardest
This is true even under the worst conditions.

I took my first pneumonia shot
And now my arm hurts – not a lot
But just enough to let me know
That through my veins vaccine does flow.

Before this year, I’ve blown it off
But now, at least, if I should cough
I’ll chalk it up to just a cold
And panic, thus, will be controlled.

I’ll wait a week or two until
The redness leaves and then I will
Prepare again for pain and tingles
When I get the shot for shingles!...

Poetic Terrorist- flagrant Errorist!
While all I write feels meritless
And all I do seems perilous!
Chalk it up to being careless...

My Heart, my Mind- about to burst!
Born, was I, a Soul accursed...
A million wounds I have nursed
Still I feel always the worse

Send helicopters full of doctors-
Tell me, what is their diagnosis?
Oh! the Tests conclude I'm awkward!
(What a bleak and poor prognosis!)

*Old experimental piece...

Yuletide blackboard,
tally the good, dirty snow ugly and the bad
Chalk it up to life learning experience,
golden sleigh bell reward
Past mistake spots erased so mistletoe glad,
mend every sad, broken-hearted fence
Kicking clean fresh holiday scrubs — 
kiss the new year baby
with a merry, evergreen cheek rub
Go charity palm crazy ...
Do it alm right from the very start,
giving daily
those precious gifts from the heart...

Dearest children:  Save yourselves.
You're governed out of freedom.
Save yourself from being all
and swear to us your sedum.

Have no faith to carry us
away from where we've come.
Open up and share with us
what little's to your sum.

Forgive us all the things we've done.
We're beggars without cause.
Punish us for all our kind:
and making of our laws.

Pray we make some better choices.
Believe us if you can.
Remember all that we've come from
and chalk it up to man....
