Short Haley Poems

Sing a song of Sixth Sense
Haley Joel Osment wonders why
He’s followed every where
By that Bruce Willis guy...

dropping a shilling 
         .. in  the snug juke box
   playing   Haley & Elvis
     around the clock-
jiving to music so unorthodox...

He roots this is the finale
How long can she dilly dally?
He thinks she's quite cute
If in her birthday suit
Trump's sure to pollute Nikki Haley...

Bill Haley sang Rock Around The Clock
In gay abandon back and forth kids did rock
Some lost their composure
Showed too much exposure
Gendarmes made them put on their socks...

His comet still crosses the sky
Visible to the naked eye,
And his music rocks around the clock-
Such events made their name
Leaving each with lasting fame

Tribute to Edmond Halley & Bill Haley...

Can you name the Old Time Rock 'n Roll wizards
Elvis, Jerry Lee, Buddy Holly, and Little Richard
And so many more
The Platters & Coasters
Bill Haley, The Big Bopper, Fats, they all glittered...

A swift half of cider in the Bodega bar
sadly none of us could afford a car.
Dropping a shilling in  the snug juke box
Haley and Elvis,then so unorthodox

Trad jazz with Donegan,Bilk or Collier 
no ballroom bacchanalia
Skip,hip-hop style jive 
50's music had come alive...

Haley Mills played Pollyanna
We kids thought she was American
We claimed her as one of our own.
When she got older she began using her British accent.
And we could neither understand her
or love her half as much,
so disappointed were we.
Anyway, I was.
I do not even speak British English....

there was a boy named don
he never did anything wrong
then one day he met haley
who was a little bit shady
they began to date 
their lives were filled with     

one day they decided
to live amongest the     
so haley chopped off her head
don was so depressed
so he pressed 
a knife to neck
and in a sec
he sliced his throt...

By: Haley Daniels
Reach
Gasping for air, life, and love
As I watch the tangled hands from above
The water is green with guilt and greed
It is time for the famished beasts to feed
Naked I lay here, preparing to die
Faint sounds of my crew starting to cry
Any hope of survival has drifted away
The sadness takes over, it’s too late to pray

Inspired by Watson and the Shark...

In this decade: pizza, soda, 
Colonel Sanders, 
burgers only fifteen cents;
"Tutti Frutti," 
sock hops, "mooning," 
Rock and Roll (monumental consequence);

Rosa's bus ride, 
suburbs, fluoride,
escalating sales, 
vaccine for polio;
Mickey Mouse Club, 
Haley, Hitchcock, 
Davy Crockett, 
drive-ins,
 Fats Domino;

Causeless Rebel crashing car, 
bouffant hairdos,
 "har dee har har;"
Elvis on TV

 and ME....

Look for the boy with the dark brown sweater
'cause we all know he'll make it better
Look for the boy with the headphones
'cause hes rockin' out to stereo  
and singing along to billy jole
 Look for the boy with the tiger tattoo
'cause he always knows what to do
Look for the boy with the ice blue eyes 
cause he'll comfort you through the night
Look for the boy that owns my soul
'cause we both live through rock an' roll...

Haley gave up the ghost today,
all we could do was cry and pray.
She'd suffered so long, her whole life,
disease had wracked her body with strife.

Cystic Fibrosis did her in,
choked her lungs and kept her thin,
poor little child, we knew her well,
spending so much time in hospital hell.

She barely made twenty-one,
and now her short life's said and done.
We cried for her mother, in such grief,
but to Haley, by God, death was a relief.

hair brylcreamed.
   into town 
       to the pub in the square, 
our gang always met there

trad jazz with Donegan,
                        Bilk or Collier 
or maybe the ballroom for
bacchanalia

skip,hip-hop or jive
 or more sedately 
to the Friday Five.

a swift half of cider
         in the Bodega bar
sadly none of us then
       could afford a car.

Not one to be a social butterfly,
no matter how hard they encouraged her to try,
she declined yet another blind date,
arranging the fragrant flowers were more important to her,
as the customers bought some for their dates or their mates,

Having the best florist business in town,
and good commercial property downtown,
she sold flowers for thirty straight years in a row,
Haley's beautiful arrangements voted the best on the shelfs,
Haley just not ever getting any herself.
