Short Gracie Poems

Find here a tribute to one of the cleverest gals
To ever grace a show biz locale

   She mused that parties 'stand' for a platform
   For which voters 'fall' by the swarm...

Memories of Gracie Fields linger
As someone who gave people the finger
Gracie felt defeated
Cheers were deleted
As the Brits took offence as she lingered

Gracie and Frankie were frogs,
who were sitting on two ends of a log.
They met in the middle,
and started to fiddle,
now their tadpoles all swim in a bog.

Mr. George Burns
In a movie played 'God'
  Hilarious, comedic head
  On such a laughable bod...

His wife Gracie
Acted totally spacy
  Her humor dazzling
  Via daffiness frazzling...

What more can one ask of solid friends
Who go beyond words to express their love?
With honesty barring flattery
Trusted enough, we keep one another's keys
Who look out for each other, like family

I think you have
An old soul inside
That reveals itself
Only to me
You embrace me
Knowing that 
I need you to
Girl of my womb
Your hair soft
Under my nose
And you squeeze 
Me so tight
As if you've known
Me longer than
Your six years
Your old soul
Warming mine...

Tis with woeful eyes,


                               As I watch you leave again,

                                   When will you return?


                               Or is this our last goodbye



                              I’ll wait on the porch till night...

A man sought advice for his pains that persist.

Was told to see Gracie the cute pharmacist;

Built up so much his ego

He bypassed John’s gazebo,

Cured by the blue pill for his flacciditis.

The best banana bread I've had was in a hospital
Gracie said to us after we were all tucked in bed
 I'm sure the juice was just as good if we got any at all

I'm lucky, my friend said, shyly looking at us
but really sad, with no one to feed her banana bread

Waiting for someone to take care of me
I cry under the covers for banana bread....

The mayor’s been indicted
And they’re searching through his things
To uncover proof that he deserves
The boot this often brings.

I live near Gracie Mansion;
The surrounding streets are lined
With police cars and the vans of press,
Arrest on every mind.

I don’t know if he’s guilty,
Though his circle’s shrinking fast,
But I’m pretty sure our time as neighbors
Isn’t gonna last.

Many things about you 
Make the tenderest 
Parts of me sigh
The way your feet
So tiny curl and spoon
Each other when you sleep
Just as they did almost
Four years ago as you
Tossed in my womb
As if when your mind
Is unconscious of the world
It returns to the safest 
Place and reminds your
Sweet perfect little body
In it's primal position
To snuggle up in the safety
Of the one who made you...

A shoveler duck is Jim
A duckling afraid to swim
He stands on a log
With Lily The Frog
So everyone laughs at him

Gracie Gull says he is dim
Silly I'm not explains Jim
I have a dislike
For Lucius Pike
Just dinner I am to him

Lucius then says to Jim
Sorry I nibbled your limb
It was only in fun
To see a duck run
Forgive me Shoveler Jim

Together the trio swim
Lucius, Gracie and Jim
And stories they tell
Until the church bell
Then happily sing a hymn...

Long Island’s the home,
  Of the mother cat.
Max, Mai Ling, and Gracie,
  Are so proud of that.

They are well received,
  And in from the cold.
In the warmness of love,
  That their mother unfolds.

While out on the streets,
  The hidden dangers stir.
She puts them to sleep,
  With her poetic purrs.

Merry Christmas Rhoda,
This is for you and your cats;
Max, Mai Ling, and Lil Gracie....

Hush little Gracie
Don't make a peep,
Momma's gonna hold you 'till you fall asleep.
In her arms snuggled and warm,
Sleeping so peacefull through the storm.

Pitter,Patter of the rain falling.
Don't make a sound and listen to the wind calling.
Swish,Swish sound of the wind blowing through,
Laying in the bed with Momma next to you.

Cotton Candy dreams cover the world,
Go to sleep,Momma's lovely girl.

Hush, little Gracie's now asleep.
Lovely little girl not making a peep....
