Short Farmyard Poems

a plump turkey struts
across the leaf filled farmyard--
smells cranberry sauce...

The lambs and red hens  UNSUPPORTED CODE 
play in the fields all around  UNSUPPORTED CODE 
the busy farmyard  UNSUPPORTED CODE...

Freddy filched Frankie’s fav’rit fudge,
fearless Frankie flattened Freddy to the floor.
Father Fletcher fearing fratricide
fastened Frankie’s feet
firmly to the farmyard fence while friends
fixed Freddy’s fractious frame
fast to the family Ford.

Each morning birds chatter and wake me from sleep
In avian society talk is cheep
**
A balding sheep who writes poems in the farmyard
Has written a sonnet and signed it, ‘The Baaahd’
**
The police came along and I’m locked up with felons
But I only admired the grocer girl’s melons
**
My Gran says respect the elderly or we all suffer
The thing is, she’s batty, the geriatric, old duffer...

I never believed I would find such joy,
Beauty entered the lift, Cupid work hard,
Me poor but smart, duties of a bellboy,
Wrote a Valentine: Meet me, I'm Bernard!

Maybe we could saunter to some farmyard,
In fields so quiet, picnic on the grass,
We will talk long to learn who is this lass.
Surely she will get to know who I am.
I did not care I'm transparent like glass.
We’ll kiss, hug and have thrills, love is sweet jam....

Candy Crush and Angry Birds
To some of us these are just words
But if you play they’ll stress you out
Run out of moves and you will shout

Bejewelled Blitz and Happy Aquarium
Jewels and fish stop you feeling glum
Pet Rescue Saga and Towers
They’ll keep you amused for hours

Rescuing animals and matching cards
In Farmville, run your own farmyard
Farkle and Top Eleven
Card skills and football heaven
With a Facebook game, winning is your aim...

Tragedy where ignorance sleeps in the head
Citizens bleat for mercy and compassion
Women’s beads of tears roll for their seeds
Garden tools apply for visa to go overseas
As once exiled weeds trail their way home 

Where ignorance sleeps in the head
Smoke rises from fiery chimney of ruler’s heart
Foxes roam countryside to celebrate their birthdays
Victims of fiery hearts supply farmyard manure
To peasants who dig when the sun is asleep on his bed...

The cow was playing cowbells,
Giddy Goat joined in on his guitar,
The horse was hoofing bongo drums.
Animals started coming from afar.

The chicken clucked an egg out,
Pig was oinking right in time,
Duck was tinkling on her triangle
While dog was hammering on his chime.

Pussy picked up her piccolo,
Goose was flapping on his flute,
Donkey brayed on a big trombone,
It really was a farmyard hoot!

The successful teacher
Sees in every pupil rough bushes
Dotted with flowers of the future

He guides the pupil to weed out
The witch weeds with hoes and cutlass
to enhance flowering and fruition

The successful teacher
adds earthworms underneath
for farmyard manure for growth

But those who fail in the job
add fire to the bushes in the pupil
what a lamentation for society follows!

Tame the bushes in them
the measure of success is simple
teacher deteriorates as his pupils rise...
