Short Fuddy Duddy Poems

Poor old Farmer McGillicuddy
He’s somewhat of a fuddy-duddy
   He plows with an ox
   All progress he blocks
No wonder his corn tastes so cruddy...

Let's face it, I'm just a useless old fuddy-duddy
My joints need oiling and my brain's all muddy
It's par for the course
A mangy old horse
But my mind is still stunning and a brilliant study...

Priest is fuddy duddy wearing clothes that are cruddy,
And we had decided to invite him to our Bible study;
Told us God,
Is not a fraud;
Now each week he has been our Bible study buddy.

Am watching Nancy Pelosi interview

Mr. Nutty, 
you're m'buddy,
you never were a fuddy duddy. 
There's a pattern, 
you're from Saturn, 
they shoulda made you the Green Lantern. 
Zen Kabbalah, 
Mr. Allah, 
did you ever play in Walla Walla? 
No one's nicer, 
jezus cry sir!, 
boogie woogie on a synthesizer!...

Tempers trashing,
ideas clashing,
families fuming,
kinship cooling.

Camaraderie collapsing,
communication lapsing,
schisms scission,
harmony ebbs away,


Fuddy-duddy , so unreal
is the petulant cry;
ungrateful child,the sighing reply,
then stances coagulate and congeal.

Familiar familial !...

I know I cannot be the only one
who reads Emily D. just for fun!

Quotes her feathery Hope poem
Understands it's ok not to roam

Not thinking her a fuddy-duddy
But rather, a true bosom buddy

Wished to taste her gingerbread
Wants to meet when we're dead

Considers her a kindred spirit :)
Imitates her style (or-- near it)!...

Cornelius McGillicuddy
     Conservative fuddy-duddy

        Though he shortened his name to Connie Mack
        Neither smoked, drank ~ or cut players any slack

I'm not your ev'ry day old fuddy-duddy
I know a dude who's my got-yer-back buddy...

And I'll send you for a plunge 'ore the falls of Niagra
(After my appointment with Dr. Viagra)

Of course I don't NEED it (I don't mean to boast)
It's just extra butter on top of my toast...

Then with renewed vigor AGAIN it shall greet-ya
(With a wee bit-a-help from Mr. Levitra)...

No! I ain't your ev'ry day old-fuddy-duddy
'Cause I know a dude who's my got-yer-back buddy...
Of course I don't NEED him (Please pardon my boast)
He's just extra butter on top of my toast...

You shall take a plunge 'ore the falls of Niagara
(After my appointment with Dr. Viagra)
With renewed vigor AGAIN it shall greet ya
(With a wee bit-a-help from Mr. Levitra)...

An Old Fuddy Duddy

I may be an old fuddy duddy
Putrid poem not cute but cruddy
And told to have taken a hike
My each poem surely must like.

Down ever look sad and downcast
Read poems about future and past
I have written as well as designed
With you especially being in my mind.

What else would want my poem to say
Go ahead and have a nice day (HAND)
Or maybe it might be even better yet
On Poetry Soup glad we both have met.

James Horn, Retired Veteran and Poet...
