Short Dabba Poems

Bill and Ben the flower pot men 
The Clangers and a soup dragon
Bungle and Jeffery and a Rainbow in the sky
Crackerjack, Banana splits go wild 
Dick Dastardly and Muttley
Mr Magoo is that you 
The Flintstones yabba dabba do
just some of my childhood tv friends...

Wilma cried, “We are going too slow!”
But poor Flintstone could no faster go.
Not because of a flat. 
No, for nothing like that.
It was just Fred had stubbed his big toe!

For the Limerick Clean and Clever Contest of Roy Jerden
Yabba Dabba DOO!!!! And Boo Hoo Hoo!!!...

Small shards of Flint stone, picked from the quarry’s rubble
Blacksmith-bent bit of iron, wrapped around my fisted knuckles
Strike strike strike spark!
Charred cloth poised to catch, glowing grows with gentle breath
Introduced to fine fibered tinder, Suddenly aflame, yabba dabba doo!

HUNTERs PACE

Let the horse throw ya
why don’t ya

yada yada yada
yabba dabba doo

the stallion relies

on your stamina
and pride

to land feet first
on the saddle

so saddle up
for this wild ride

life will toss you
high

at a hunter’s pace
wild and free

to eternity
