Short Dongs Poems

The Great Barrier Reef is 2000 km long
Largest living structure on this planet we belong
You'll sleep well in the sack
Knowing this little known fact
A service I provide for you happy ding dongs...

With all the crap that's been recently going on
Just gather around, let's sing freedom's song
Let's not come unhinged
By this lunatic fringe
They're just the very latest of the world's ding dongs<>...

Bells
with blues
play bent cup dinged;
discordant, dongs and dings.
Soft and raspy tones that mumble,
rings rung as fuzzy rumbles and grumbles,
rather than clear resonate rings.
Sad Bells
Blue

Bell
rings, chimes
hours, announces
weddings, war ends, death knells.
Bell shape hollow, inverted cup 
resonates, polls, rings, dings, dongs, pongs and pings
to bring order to day's events.
Bells rung,
done

The door rings,
I look up,
someone with someone else,
back to my eggs and hash browns.
The door rings
Spatulas knell the griddle.
The skinny cook yells in Kentucky Yiddish.
Flapjacks slap in midair,
syrup dongs in jug and jar.

Ding Dong School
was decidedly uncool
~ unhip even back in the day

Now ding dongs are snacks
Or students, who brains lack 
   They're always wrong
   Those poor ding dongs



"Ding Dong School" aired on
TV from 1952-1956.  It was
incredibly "1950-ish." The
headmistress, Miss Frances, 
a homely spinster, actually
rang a bell to start each show......

One, two, three
He starts it off
A phalanx of bells starts
Rings from posts on a horse-shoe set of tables

Big heavy dongs from one of the flanks
Little light tings from the other
Medium dings from the middle
Exclusive pings when it happens

Dings like falling glass on impact
Madness orchestrated
Chaotic music with perfect control
A river of tune created...

I laid down my long schlong 
On a table full of kong dongs
The judges had short tongs 
To flip the dongs flop
the men and women on song 
You wouldn't guess who won?
God, Tom, John, Cock?
No, you are so wrong 
It was not my long schlong 
Or Johns God  throbbing Cock 
It was  Moscow and Washington 
Two Absolute blue whale dongs
Throbbing all the way to the third war...

Away in a strip mall,
no strip did I see.
That strips might be sold there
means nothing to me.

And then I thought strip tease!
I walked all around
but no naked ladies
were there to be found.

No cute guys there either
in nothing but thongs
who hinted that maybe
they’d show us their dongs!

There’s Vegas strips, so why
not say a mall STRIP?
I went to see strippers
but wasted my trip....

Passed away this day 11/16/2012

A bright light in our lives
That was always so giving
Could not have been sweeter
Nor softer in manner.
To fade into history
Will e’er be a mystery
Seems the sweetest are chosen
O’er all of the rest
And whose absence will be felt
For e’er so long…
We’ll all miss their presence
Farewell my beloveds
…Twinkies and ding dongs…

(at least they went together)

O clock-faced time
why do you twitter all day long -
begone all ding dongs
and bell towers.
I have a French fry on my shoulder,
my body trembles internally
broken springs click-clack,
knock upon self-beating gongs.
Yes, I am angry,
often bitterly bothered
about the passing of
just about everything,
and why on earth
cannot I stay put
and pause the thought
of oblivion
just for one
uninterrupted moment....
