Short Gizmo Poems

I have a guinea pig named Gizmo
Whose antics made everyone go "Oh, no!"
He'd run through the house
Like a tiny, furry mouse
And leave poop chaos wherever he'd go!...

Doohickey thought she should wear the crown
Gizmo huffed off in her greenish gown
Dofunny Dingus laughed and got crazy sick
Steam on the What-not-shelf was truly thick....

Big deer eyes
Shot in headlights
Sweet adorable
Gizmo bright
Wish it may 
Wish it might
Colored sphere
Surrounded white
Beautiful doe
Absolutely right
Seeing through
Unknown sight...

We had a guest my Gizmo and me,
we met on a midnight walk.

He was small and had a fluffy tail,
so Gizmo went to talk.

Tomato juice and baths til' 3 --
We had a guest, my Gizmo and me....

The craziest gadget, widget, gizmo contraption.
Gave me immediate happiness and satisfaction.
I love this machine I told anyone who would listen.
It is sparkly with bells and whistles and it does glisten....

Gizmo, fluffy ball,
Squeaks and hops around his pen,
Loves his veggies all.

Cute and chubby cheeks,
Guinea pig with lively squeaks,
Brings me joy and peaks.

Gizmo, little guy,
Snuggles close, his bright eyes shine,
My piggy, oh so spry....

I know of our neighbor called Kimbo

who joins poker deals like a gizmo--

  he slammed one big bluff

  lost all his rich stuff--

paid  debt cleaning old waiter's limo !

I notice sometimes when I use the bathroom,
my dog decides to come in;
he'll stare at me and take a whiff,
and there he'll pause and surely sit!
He'll go around the toilet and curl up and lay
and all I could think of is his name,
the type dog he is could be the answer,
of why he likes to be in the bathroom.
Gizmo you odd Shiitzu!...

Not a Ladder step up
Typewriting keyboard set up
Hands on the keys
Typing letter after letter
Accuracy that matters
Speed will come
Practice makes perfect
Afterwhile, you will become a typing dynamo
You will be your own quick moving typing gizmo
Pace yourself
Be calm and patient
Don’t let anxiety get to you
In due time
Typist will be in you.

Order today,
It’s  only $19.95, and you get a second one free,
but there’s usually a reason that to the eye is lost.
To obtain this gizmo you pay an unknown second fee,
and get “made in China” that will quickly be tossed.

Anything free, has an ulterior motive,
or someone else has borne the cost.

What is that gizmo on your head?
Little doodad his son quickly said
Is it a whatchamacallit or a rinky dink?
Whatever you want Daddy, whatever you think.

The pool-side aliens who had been listening were trying to decipher
Words that made no sense, like vacuum, dust, and diaper
Gizmo? Doodad? Rinky Dink?
Do we have the right planet, do you think?
Let’s find an easier language to study,
said the Captain Little Buddy....

Another romantic poet for whom gusto
Of poem was great and alluring, ergo
He would a novel write and praise Nero.
His solitary poem was a masterpiece forgo
The old ideas and forms of poets did gizmo.
Bridge  and Cuckoo poems have inflow
Of creativity and rhetorical devices lo.
Can anyone join him in his maestro?
No! None can! Even searching in Oslo.
Hence, friends, give him courtesy low
And try to achieve views getting below....

Has anyone seen my ding a ling? 
You wouldn’t dare ask “what is it”.
I will just say it’s the cutest thing.

It must be a cousin of my widget,
about which my wife often digs.
It hasn’t a name, only a digit.

I also have some thing-a-ma-jigs
that attach to fishing lures, you know.
My heart sings making world famous rigs.

While pointing my do hickey just so
I turn on my color gizmo, git go.

Sanmati, my guide, though is callow
Abnormal not in knowledge, not a bozo.
Negotiates well joy broad or narrow;
Merry as a lamb, sharp as an arrow – 
Agile as a gymnast, as sweet as a cello.
Time and again found, never let her gizmo,
Ignoring angry love or any strict credo
Jib her down to cry and sit quietly in shadow.
Almighty will design her future like dido
Illuminating the world with skills and less ego.
Never be dull or extra-ordinary – no one follow....
