Short Joked Poems

We laughed, 
smiled,
joked...
What happened to that?
I regret ever
leaving you...
I want,
I need
you.
But I know...its way too late

now....

The shock of the news left him numb.
He asked, "How did my friend succumb?"
The coroner joked,
"Your friend Artie choked,
He's the victim of his chewing gum."...

Do you all know Theodore Thimple

On his nose he had a big pimple

We all joked and teased it

So he poked and squeezed it

Most efforts are never that simple...

Pedaling Meddling Home

Was perturbed when we found Trump pedaling;
Many illegal things which in had been meddling,
He  horribly  joked;
We were pervoked;
When  combined all of  this became unsettling.

Toady sang a silly song
Sang it underneath the oak
A song to kill, old Toady joked
Silly as the day was long
Song was over, Toady croaked

Hindsight-a Pleiades 

He pitched his tent here first
High atop soup mountain
Hidden from his sad past
Heaven he said, he said
His voice echoing through
Honey I am so free
He joked, as she laughed near

Nicolaus Copernicus claimed the earth orbits the sun
Other fourth graders joked about it and made lots of fun.
His parents were embarrassed by their weird decisive child.
His theories changed understanding of the universe. Isn’t that wild?...

“Your undies I see,” joked Wong Ling
as his girlfriend swang high on a swing.
Suzie laughed and she laughed,
saying, “You are so daft,
‘cause down there I’m not wearing a thing!”

YESTERDAY
I FELL.
NOT A BAD FALL-
SCRAPES AND A
SKINNED KNEE
AN INCONVENIENCE
REALLY.

BUT...
LAST WEEK
I SUDDENLY
TRIPPED
ON FLAT PAVEMENT
AND SO, I JOKED
ONLY ME!

TODAY
I THINK
MAYBE THE LUPUS
OH NO!
NOT THE LUPUS
BUT, THEN I THINK
LUPUS....

I so loved Mister Pigo the pig
                                       It was not at all infra dig
                                            A Man and a beast
                                          On a great love feast
                                    joked jigged and rode in a gig...

Gremlin, imp, leprechaun and puck
Tried to push their Celtic luck
Dwarf, gnome and faerie came along
They all joined in on a joyful March song

St. Patty’s day is only a week away
They laughed and joked and skipped away
If you see the tree leaves moving in the breeze
Tell them hello for me, if you please...

Life is beautiful,
Tell me what beauty is?
Her sultry eyes on me and I dream
Hands…her hands…
Just a touch not much
Warmth….did she smile again?
I joked, she laughed 
“I’ll see you around”
This void…I can’t avoid
Replacing all the days with her name,
Nothing better I can think of,
Till I see that face again...

Handsome Hardy Hal haphazardly hung horrid hearts on healthy hedge
Impossible? Impractical? Improbable? Too near the ledge?
Justifiably joyful, joked Jerry’s jolly jubilant jonquils, gyrating
Kansas kittens carried kaleidoscopic kits that clung to the ledge
Legitimizing lovely lively lilies laying in lovable lulls near the hedge

Your smile,your face,your

That feeling I always wanted to feel.. I felt it with YOU
Love like you see in the movies... I had that.. with YOU
Love that we joked was just too good to be true.. 
yep I know I had that.. with YOU!

Fun, spontaneous, passionate, understanding,
sweet & ohh so sexy love...
I hope that I can have that again... with someone other than YOU....

Why do I never
Want to cry?
How do I never
Not get by?

Why have I not
Cracked a smile,
Or laughed or joked
In such a while?

Why'm I so cold
So hidden away?
Why do I want it
To stay that way?

World don't judge me,
Don't judge me.
My life's not the way,
I meant it to be.

Here’s to the boys I once knew
When we stood together and saw it through
Where I laughed and joked with each one
As we gathered together when it was done

And they live in my thoughts how they once were
Young and alive and quite a stir
For I didn’t know then the times were the best
And to remember it all was so good to attest.

What if the sun never shined,
or if the moon never showed?
What if poems did not rhyme?
What if time slowed?
What if birds never sang harmonies?
What if it never rained?
What if there were no melodies?
What if all colors drained?
What if no one spoke?
Or loved?
Or if no one ever joked,
or hugged?
What if? What if?
What if no one asked this question,
ever again?...

The air was warm, the sky all grey
We laughed and joked, found lots to say.
With lightning stones held in each hand
We walked barefooted on the sand.
The rain came down, yet with a grin 
We hugged and kissed, drenched to the skin.

My brother and I,
while choosing a name for my nephew,
tried hard to think of something unique—
something with variety and charm.
“Tractor” was the first choice,
then came “Tumbler,”
and we fell breathless with laughter,
comparing impossible things—
his eyes to stretching bubblegum.
We joked about how his name
might sound when he grew older.
Laughs and tears rolled down our cheeks.

To cook a baked potato
You need lots and lots of time – 
Enough to write a longer poem
Than this, and all in rhyme.

Mitch Hedberg,* in his deadpan way,
Joked with exaggeration – 
Toss a spud into the oven and
Just go off on vacation.

He may be right – I baked one,
Eighty minutes by the clock,
But my husband took a bite and it
Was harder than a rock!

*one of my favorite comedians...

He met an actor at the theatre bar;
‘Hey Dame,’ he joked, ‘you ugly hag.’
‘I’m Cinderella,’ snapped the panto star. 
‘I’m not a bloomin’ bloke in drag.’

 (I think pantomime is mostly British entertainment: women are characters such as Cinderella or Snow White and men dress as hideous ‘dames’. Every panto has the characters shouting out the words used in the title of this piece…)

lean back bend bones joints
snapped & smoked- i can
see the words i spoke in 
vibr
ating letters gyrating plaid
sweaters tangled by the neck,
i wasn't looking fast, so quick
-wreck, bleeding bricks- joked
the nervous tick, afraid of the 
bed he made. don't
miss the cause, burning bras,
passing laws- don't
fight the mender, seamstress of
sight, dirty defender- inhale,
hold, don't
let it go- 
so easy....

We had our last hurrah
that evening on the pier.
Some friends of mine brought beer
while some brought wine.

The vista was divine.
The sun began to sink
as shades of rosy pink
streaked teal blue sky.

We joked while getting high.
Back then, we never knew
our friendships, like that view,
would fade away. . .

Never once, did she complain
She was always happy
Joked around and had fun
Very rarely was she crabby

Sat in her wheelchair 
Day after day
Found out she had cancer 
Wondered how much longer she'd stay

She fought everyday 
Until she passed away
Now she's in a better place
For angel took her to heaven to stay

She will be missed
By family and friends, too
Now no longer in pain
Because it's finally through.
