Short Gunny Poems

played Risk in the head
with Gunny and the Marines
on my way back home...

Sam walks like an ox with his gunny-box,
Naughty children count the holes in his crocs.
Some say there are ten large spots,
Others say they're like gun-shots.
Sam thinks they are praising his oxen-walks.

There was this tough old Marine called Gunny.

   Cussin' spewed from him like gurglin' honey.

      He ran a very taut ship,

         And nobody gave him lip,

            'Cept his spouse who addressed him as 'Sonny'!

<                      once was an  cuckoo bird named Sonny
                         tagging along gramps as first  gunny
                               shooting up cereal bowls
                     with dark puffs @@@ nice ~ and ~ slow
                            Oh how trix rabbit did so runny

Wagons packed, gunny sacked

                                  Wheat flour, beans, preserves

                        Wild nature sojourning

                              Worn axles, oxen, health

             Winter weather challenge

                       Wealth aspiring visions

     Wonder-filled golden hills

A barefoot boy on an old dirt road
Kicking dust up as he went
His lips all puckered, whistling a tune
He was happy and content 

He carried a bucket by the bail
Had a cane pole on his back
And under his arm, all wrapped up tight
Was a burlap gunny sack

“Where are you going with all that stuff?”
I asked as he skipped on by
“I’m headed down to the Jack-Knife Creek
To catch Crawdads for a pie”...

Look at this new rear gunny,
his uniform sure fits funny
Are your sure, he’s one of us?
Put him at the back of the sub,
six decks below
Begging your pardon, Admiral,
that is where
she was assigned to go
Gunny has 
top merit of her class
Torpedo ordinance expertise,
pure marksman target release
But I don’t like 
the salute of his hand
It don’t look navy masculine
I care not for his name:
Natasha is Russian feminine...
