Short Colic Poems

Kid With Colic

Am a cute kid with case of the colic;
It made me so sad I became bucolic;
Testy have been,
Without a grin;
No wonder  my wife was an alcoholic.

There lies my wallet on my bureau,
Pictures, it has ten….. money zero.

Each night I go out to check my 401K,
..They’re in the barn …eating hay.

Every day they go out to pasture to play whinny and frolic,
Dam, I hope that 401K doesn’t colic !...

Chickens we consign to coops
    Pigs we pack into pens
  Horses we corral in a stable
    Cows we stick in a shed

  Our children play in spacious playpens
    at night, like roses, they sleep in a bed
  Yet animals have fun, they feed and frolic
    ~ while asthmatic youngsters develop colic...

Maria Josephine is our seventeenth nanny
They cannot take it
They can’t!
Junior has colic
He cries and he rants

He is a horrid little creature
Except when he is asleep
But that is fitful
His sleep is never lengthy or deep

She will leave us too,
They rarely stay later than a day
In the mean time I will get a bit of rest
For I am the mama who dares not run away....

after a few drinks
one cold night
the Rev. Mr Culpepper
left his club
in the eastern part of
Jasper County Mississippi

on his walk home
he was taken sick
and stopped at the residence
of a dear lady friend
the widow mary banes

there hie took
a dose or two
maybe even three
of medicine
followed by
some liquid
libation

here he suddenly died
in a manner of minutes

his disease
was found to be
bilious colic...

Ice pile up on window rubbed away.
Sun tasting isicles, drips on sips today.
It may pass May but bitter cold will not relinquish its hold
on bouquet of snow fakes frozen outside.
With a kiss,
lips seal spring of winter green bliss when parting tree bough
red bow heavy cardinal.
Like a card greeting you,
jay laugh out loud, blue wing fowl encouraging smile.
Ever more do snow haunt of grave frolic,
as babies with colic cry,
Squalls whimpering to die as raven fly.

The End....
