Short Dapper Poems

With complete freedom 
to wear anything one wants
in public: 
hamster ball.

Very dapper
sauntering the boulevard
in one's hamster ball....

Dapper Dan was a devil-may-care
  His favorite game was 'Shark-Pit'
Bought a roller-coaster with his money
  In hedge funds and junk bonds he parked it...

When asked why I can’t find my keys,
I snicker, and then I say please…..
I have a clapper
and I’m very dapper,
just don’t ask me to please cut the cheese!...

Memorable personna, eloquent
Smooth dapper thespian and trajedian.

A dapper old fellow from Toledo
Possessed a super active libido
Searching for a bride
Then, losing his stride
Finally gave up wearing his speedo.

There once lived a man in Katchikan
His name, I believe, was Dapper Dan
He was never married
But he never tarried
He kept moving as fast as man can.

Darling Dapper Quilted Turtle goes by DQT
He is about as handsome as he has the right to be
We watch him on the rock eating flies with his tongue
He is not only dashing, he is truly lots of fun!...

Billy gives at church
tho' he is in need
a dapper preacher
calls him worthless
selfish...full of greed
Billy thinks he's a jerk
wants to speak his mind
giggles as he remembers
the check wasn't signed...

I once had a butler so dapper
He had but a slight stutter
On the grounds we once walked
To find treasure of sorts
Wh.. wh.. he stuttered
I know I countered
Then why'd you step on it
He questioned...

Prissy pink praying mantis pretends no preference
Delightful dapper Dan, a suitor, gives her deference.
They dance a tantalizing tango with her cousin Ted.
Before the dance is finished, Dan has lost his sweet head....

Limerick : Once a Dapper Diplomat in Paris

Once a Dapper Diplomat in Paris
Took to « wife » a Man for his Mrs.
« She » wanted a Baby
« She » married a Lady
Now Diplomat has Wife minus His.

Quilted cat had a right to be puffed up and proud.
We all knew he was the prettiest cat, not a bit cowed.
With his paisleys and checks, he was subtle, not loud.
He was dapper and darling, the greatest cat in our crowd....

This dummy had sex without a wrapper.
But he really just wanted to tap 'er.
He thought he was smart.
But now he's lost heart.
He's not really feeling all that dapper.

Thanks to Andrea Dietrich for the second line. Who knew ha? :)...

Dangerously and dramatic, delightful diamond-clad damsels from Delaware
deviously dazzled dashing dapper dweebs from Des Moines.
Deliberate dallying drained the dullards of their discerning dendrites.
Deeming them deliriously and dubiously devoted....

dragons with fat striped tummies that glow
faerie mushroom houses and a round window
fat sassy red cats and curly blue eared dogs
roses and daisies with dapper frogs on brown logs
witches and warlocks, cocky confident pirate queens
These are but a few of my favorite things...

Busty Betty beguiled the besotted boys
Painfully plain Polly puzzled over her plight
Dapper Dan discovered the delights of drive-ins
Blushing busty Betty before long began to bulge 
Polly perceived  her problem and preceded
To point the poor papa and his problem to the priest...

Common as the sparrow
A friend of the Yarrow
It's the flower that flies
When you pluck out its eyes
Wherever it goes
It tickles your nose
And stands on its head
When it is dead
Yellow and gay
As a summer day
This flower of mine
Brews a great wine--
the dapper dandelion!...

He was feeling quite dapper at forty,

and the folks all around thought him sporty.

But to his dismay;

he heard his date say,

“Will you look at that thing, it’s a shorty.”

What a snazzy dinner jacket you have Mr. Wasp.
He was flattered I think, this powerful boss.
Men are rarely confident enough to wear flowers I said.
And your amazing vest is striped, black, yellow and red.
You are dapper and distinguished I told the insect.
He was ready for white gloves, and a gentle inspect....

Dramatically daring disarmingly dapper
So soflty serene so subtly sublime
Enigmaticly entrancing enthusiastically enjoyable
Vividly vibrant vicariously viewing
Caringly caressing charismatically cosmic
Admittedly alluring amid amicable azure
Unforgettably unabashedly undemanding
Irrisistably Ignitingly Insync...

Suspect Dapper Draper,
half-scammed a bank caper.
With his brother Baker,
Whose a known safe breaker.
They rode on fly paper.
To escape down a scraper.
The plans were mere vapor.
They were caught in a chaser.
Serving ten at hard labor.
Guess it would've been plainer,
If they'd read the disclaimer.
Those crazy brothers Draper.....

You are very attractive dapper and stunning. I despise you because you don’t have 
enough room in your heart for me. When you pass a mirror all you see is you. I stand a 
foot behind you and look in the mirror hopping that I would be noticeable to you. But 
my image you do not consider you are the heart of your world then there’s just me....

If you are old enough to remember the Marlboro Man
You might be able to relate to gorgeous Steampunk guy
He was dapper and sexy, we all wanted to scream and to cry
You are old enough to be his great-gram said my niece Nan.
Endearing her to me in no kind of way this weird Tuesday.
I gave him a smile and a wink, and could barely stay away.
