Short Gib Poems

Fuzzily Wuzzily

He can shave his, but he'd
Best not touch mine....

My train wreck Gabby
was a gem indeed
A giant Newfoundland
a stubborn breed

Loving and gentle
all 180 pounds
She was a mighty hunter
and she protected our grounds

For fourteen years
I loved her dear
Even when she ate my dinner
and drank my beer

I miss that dog
three past eleven
She is now with my Mom
upstairs in heaven

We pick de cotton,

We plant de wheat and corn,
yah gat us pluckin' up mo' weeds
We gather all de fruit,

We git de guts, tongue and feet,
yah git de best choice cut meat
We only git to have
what yah th'ow 'way
We only be free,
on de good burial day


A tribute to Frederick Douglas,
