Short Cowlick Poems

.

The mirror surely lied this day
    There's an Alfalfa cowlick here
Just a little teasing_hairspray
    Oh! sidecomb over this left ear...

A handsome young bloke sported a cowlick
Highly adhesive -- to things it would stick
   'Twas time for his first kiss
   He'd found the perfect miss
She stuck to that cowlick with gloss lipstick...

A cowlick springs up
  right when it shouldn't
Can a comb strike it down
  I'm afraid it couldn't

An application of grease
  looks to keep the peace
'Til - drat - it springs up again

Cowlick Billy in the City 


Cowlick Billy
always goes

up the alley
down the street

sniffing things
on hamster feet.

No one knows
why Billy goes

things are sour
things are sweet

up the alley 
down the street.

before lowering
the satin lined lid of the casket
let me watch him for awhile
perfect skin so smooth

no warmth no life
I gently kiss his pale lips as he takes
a piece of my heart...

realization comes. A little
sprig of cowlick, reminds you of
timelessness. You can move-

in any direction. You want to
go. That will need a third eye.

Tantalizing paws upon her finessed bust
Potent mindful deception over her anatomy
Forced wrench of her vibrant razzmatazz cowlick
A metamorphic transformation within
Dissonant mar amongst her collar
Whomping breeze out of her bronchi
Writhing towards that holy grail
Orgasmic passion trickles down her spine
Contortionist psyche without a footprint of regret
A Woman brimming with a phobia of reality
Demands to be exposed to her rightful residence
In this hideous terrene around her...
