Short Dropper Poems

Richard Nixon was quite slick
 Most just called him tricky dick
  But it was in Watergate
 that he did participate
 Ford pardoned him very quick...

Sir Ian McKellen's a blast. 
He once graced a day of my past:
warm crumpets in bed,
my cheeks turning red,
til Patrick appeared with a gasp!

I have captured the best of you
and then the rest of you
in the tip
of an eye dropper.

I like that.
Easily disposable.
And not in the recycle bin.

All I want is
A teaspoon of light
A dropper of delight
To cease seeing the world in shades of grey
To hold a hand that is not my own
To speak to the universe
To tell my story to the sky
It's all I want...

Put This Puppy To Bed

Kim Jung-Un of North Korea's shame
Tinkers with missiles in his grim game 
Whatsoever in his head 
Can he just put it to bed
So that earth doesn't wake up aflame

AND THE OSCAR GOES TO

Hollywood calls him Mr. Hanks.
They pay him with baked beans and franks.
His stomach is churning.
His buttocks are burning.
But he still has time to say thanks.

I think I’ll get Daniel Radcliff to tell
What demons he went through inside his hell
Was asked why didn’t he
Never kissed Hermione
It must have been he was under a spell

I once boxed Mohammed Ali.
Then I knocked him out in Round Three.
I thrust out my chest
to show who was best.
Said, “Yo, now who stings like a bee?”

Bill Clinton still wistfully rants
That tarts hustled into his pants.
But with Hillary’s loss
She’s on guard as his boss,
Denying Bill’s floozies the chance.

Eye dropper slow
I understand we have to go low
We have to wait for another glow
Of this once-in-awhile love

About this once-in-awhile love
Can we have a barter trade?
So once-in-awhile can be everyday
Or shouldn't I say?
Only thing I can do is pray...

Jacob and Wilhelm are the Brothers Grimm
Whose tales of horror flow over cup's brim
I heard that some who have read
Were cursed and later found dead

The chance that you will survive is quite slim

wrote poetry with William Shakespeare
while drinking pints, of strong home brew beer
I was drunk, too much ale
he wrote The winters tale
Hamlet, As you like it and king Lear

I often think of a poem as a song
With imaginary notes to play along
Yet, still the same I must be game
Or else the verse will end up lame

I've got to keep the meter proper
So there isn't any interest dropper
One, two, three, so now do you see
How it takes good rhythm to satisfy me?...

Two limericks

There is a truth I must tell and it is a whopper
I don't come from much, but married a Hopper
I'm not playing games
When I make it rain
Though unintentional, I have became a name dropper


  I have seven missed calls from Justin Bieber
 My stacks of fan mail just keep getting steeper
I hate to be vain
But can't entertain
Every filthy rich and famous creeper...

I'm playing with golf ace Tiger Woods
It’s raining, so we pull up our hoods
Tiger misses the green -
Then shouts words so obscene
He just cannot deliver the goods!

Jayne in a Man’s Field

I wrote on a Porsche “Take the Jayne Train”
How long in the mess hall would she remain
She came out and saw
She smiled, I said duh
Took a photo with her less my brain

Donald Trump once asked for my advice
On whether he should wed more than twice.
I said,"If God smiles on ya,
You'll wed the sweet Melania.
And make your weddings an even thrice."

Well, he took my advice as you see,
And he never said thank you to me.
But all things considered still -
She looks good up on the hill,
And she can live in our house for free.

When I called with a message one time,

you would think I"d committed a crime!

Just for doing my job,

I got screamed at by "Rob,"

so for me, Redford's name is now slime.

Note: This is based on my one telephone encounter with Robert Redford when I worked for an answering service that served him in Utah. Please see About Poem above for more details!...

People now walk up to copper,
Where Gold isn't for the hoper
And silver starves seekers proper:
Every single eager shopper...

Then go for the waiting copper,
Gold bound to be a Heart Stopper;
From behind bullets The Dropper
Your shooter off with his chopper.
Also, with your Gold - Changed Pauper;
You as dead as the grasshopper
That manure secures for a cropper...

Only go for precious Gold,
When it isn't hot to hold...

McCarthy got guffaws each week
		on SNL dressed like a geek.
		While mimicking Spicer,
		she could’ve been nicer
		on her souped-up platform so sleek!

                platform that moved FAST, impersonated now-
		former White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer

A.R. Ammons on the mound
Auden on the mound
Ginsberg on 1st
Frost on second
Carl Sandburg on third
Ferlinghetti at short
Right Field - Wordsworth
Left field - Shelly 
Blake - Center field
Shakespeare  - Catcher
Have I dropped enough 
names for you?
What's so bad about
being a name dropper?
The game is on 
Unfortunately my team 
is losing
But with poetic talent
They may yet
Eke out a victory
Postscript  - They just won!...
