Short Chuckled Poems

Charlie Chaplin’s his name
“Slap stick” brought him fame
Chuckled when I watch his flick
But never saw him “slap a stick”...

A wild posy
Shriveled and perished.

The evening-warriors chuckled ---
But the day-warriors fussed.

A wild posy
Shriveled and perished....

It's awfully untrendy
to be slender, long and bendy
but it helps to have reach
when seeking the peach,

I questioned my shadow
“you followed me all morning
Now you want to lead the way”.
It chuckled as it replied:
“That was then.”
 “This is now.”

A girl lost her panty one day,
In a mix-up, it just slipped away.
She chuckled, not shy,
As it caught someone's eye,
Said, "Lost things often go astray!"...

No more within the eyes
no comfort given by encircled hand
no gentle call of love
no chuckled shared
ripped and gone
can't stay strong
she is dead
and everything is wrong...

The word “pencil” comes from a latin word
Meaning “small ”, chuckled till my eyes blurred 
Hilarious, riotous, rollicking
Reminds me of bedtime frolicking
Giggled so hard, a gigantic fart did occur...

Seven, Eight
 
There was a young boy
from North Devon, 
Looked proud,
for he could count up to seven.
With a hearty well done,
I told him, that’s great, 
But chuckled to myself, 
cos, I can count up to eight....

Scuttlebutt ran in and bit me.
Harder than a mosquito bites.
I yelled ouch!

Scuttlebutt did a summersault
into my reptilian brain.
She is easy to antagonize.

Scuttlebutt chuckled
So I pulled out my big gun.
Ignore....

The moon  bold and endearing
cast a soft beam of light;
As gently it's nearing,
It's so entrancing
This night 
I had to start dancing 
What a mad woman is she?! 
I heard them pronounce,
I chuckled and laughed 
Not caring an ounce

Had my hair color treated
To surprise the wedding guests
Shock came at the rehearsal
Groom wanted to leave

His once-blonde bride had green curls
She’d been hoping for brunette
Oh, how the bridesmaids chuckled
Wig worn at wedding





Sadly, a true story....

A conversation ensued between us.
He ranted he wanted to resign.I chuckled and smiled.
Asked if he had a plan B.
He explained, a good idea though, I thought to myself.
But can you draft the idea, develop it, till morrow then present your resignation when you have alternatives? I asked.

He was enraged, and he left...

There he was, again on the wall.
Unaware he might suddenly fall.
If a big wind came up, bellowing tall.
Humpty would be down, in pieces and all.

Why don’t you listen to our warning, friend?
Humpty chuckled, a warm smile he did send.
He was a fine man, personality a beautiful blend.
But of course, he fell, and this was the end....

The frog hoped around
Looking for a wife
He had nothing to offer
So, he offered his life
To a beautiful queen sitting
On a lime green Lilypad
Once she saw him her eyes lit up
Before he arrived, she was very sad
The frog shouted marry me my love
Suddenly a star shined brightly from above
She chuckled then smiled
Saying we both feel love

A local business sent out mail
Which said, "We're all for Trump!"
I questioned if a nod from them
Would give a welcome bump.

But underneath the banner cry
The note said, "April Fools!
However, there's free shipping
When you order by the rules."

I chuckled at this little prank
But wondered if that poke
Would be perceived by Donald fans
As just a little joke....

We are the three little pigs, we are.
We come from another planet, past the Venus star.
We are fat and sassy, and enthusiastic too.
Unless you turn us into hot pork stew.

The pigs laughed and chuckled at the joke that day.
They had landed on earth in the month of May.
Having no idea that the possibility could come true.
These savage carnivores really ate pork stew....

Two Zebra had a nasty chat
One said “You think you’re all of that
Because your stripes are white on black
And that is your defining fact”.

The other, shaded black on white,
Chuckled with a strange delight
“I believe your vision is in error
Stop looking in the river’s mirror.

Stopped at the light 
Looked over and there she was 
Smiling, laughing then waving
Cause she was caught

I chuckled, her at me
She didn't turn, neither would I
Light turned green, it was time to go
Her number I needed to know
Trapped by glass
This couldn't start nor could it last

Waved in small goodbyes
Pressed the pedal and broke the ties

But man was she pretty...

The professor turned to me
       What is infinity?

     ‘Neither the stars in the sky
       nor the sand next the sea’
         thought me

     The answer, thus he:
       ‘Every thousand years
     a bird picks up a single 
       grain of sand, oh-so-wee’

     ‘And even that 
       'is not infinity'
         thus me

     ‘Jolly good!’ 
       chuckled he...

Today I woke up in the morning,
Yawning,
Groaning,
Grinning,
Then I saw your beautiful image,
That was clamped on the door of my heart,
Guess what?
I stopped,
My heart limped,
My face smiled,
My bones chuckled,
And I saw a hope,
A hope of living again,
A hope of moving on,
Without tire,
Nor retire,
Yes, I gained hope,
A hope to battle again,
With no retreat,
No surrender....

Us so happened to pass me by,
Down the street a youngster's cry.

I chuckled at how they were Us and not,
There the past created a smile I sought.

Remember when we were just like that?
A skip, the ball, our sandals flat?

Summer gifting winter, all endless adventure,
I'd always thought that we'd be together.

Though The Ages pass, I always ask why--
For I was not there to say goodbye....

A radiantly coiffed bouffant was mine,
    fit perfectly and curved to the nines.
I stood taking in the awe of counterparts 
   let them eat cake I chuckled in my heart.
The spring roll rumbling in my center
   drifted to the lower parts no longer indentured.
I held my breath and prayed
   that no sound or scent would stray
I wanted to drop to my knees
  Oh God, please, don’t let me sneeze....

Away from the dog park
He circles three times
Without the doggie bags
His poops are now crimes

The neighbors were peering
Through curtains half shut
As I strolled by whistling
“that isn’t my mutt”

And just as I'm thinking
I made it back home
A car in the driveway
A flashing blue dome

My dog in the back seat
Just whimpered and whined
The officer chuckled
His poop but your fine
