Short Cloyd Poems

Joker Joe

Vice President Biden is prone to gaff
But his debate strategy was to laugh
With smirk and grin told things that were not so
That’s how we will remember Joker Joe...

A Deal with the Chief Campaigner

There was a House Speaker named Boehner
Sought a deal with the chief campaigner 
For budget cuts he did hope
But campaigner said nope
For how would we pay the retainers?...

Trust should flow like the river – 
  Wide and deep, not turbulent, dangerous, murky, or dirty- 
   no not like the deep weedy sea- 
  Trust should be like a summer breeze- an unasked-for sneeze- a bird in flight- 
  a pleasant night- a love of things- a heart that sings- 
 Trust should be like an innocent child- an unplanned smile-Trust should be free.

Who Won (rigged) Maine?
©2012 C. Brent Cloyd

Saturday Maine voters took a poll
Romney won, but Paul camp claims he stole
One Paul leaning caucus, cancelled for snow
Helping Romney move on with MoJo.

When final votes tallied, Paul may win
But by then there’s no victory to spin
The liberty cause is disappointed 
Romney hopes he appears anointed.

But the real story is Santorum
Who did not compete in this forum
Who without even spending a cent
Of the raw vote got eighteen percent....

Why Do I Love You?
©2011 C. Brent Cloyd

When I tell you that I love you
Hurriedly you ask, tell me why?
You laugh when in dismay I sigh

Dare now, listen to some reasons
Obsess and parse them if you please

I love because God gave you to me

Life is good when I see your smile
Observe your wittiness and style
Valuable are your hugs so snug
Each time you travel I feel a tug

You bring pride and make my heart dance
Overawed I choose to love, not perchance
Utmost I love because you are you....
