Short Jokester Poems

Jake the jokester was so mean
He liked to make his sister moan,
Until one night beneath the moon
Jake was beguiled to better mood.
He now finds joy in being good....

Jocular jokester jetting past Jib.
Joyful juggernaut jousting in jest.
Benevolent benefactor beseeching baby’s bib.
Bequeathing beloved blue beret, belly button the best....

Shania was an oak leaf cat with ears to the sky.
She was a jokester with barely a snarl or try.
We met her on an autumn day, my buddy and me.
She was sitting on the edge of a huge oak tree....

They came out of the storm in a fishing boat
A bear, elk, jokester monkey, pig and goat.
There was a push and goat went under the water.
Sorry! Yelled the elk, but now there’s room for my daughter....

His last days
in his dreams
in Jamaica mon
The capital Kingston
He prayed to the heavens
Gods only laughed
in the Caribbean waves
as this small minded 
prang called
the pond of frogs
glorious...

Blue haired jokester woman with a hey hey hey
Kept me in stitches and laugh lines most of the day
I loved everything about her; we called her May Kay.
When she wanted to leave, we begged her to stay!...

I know a cat that is kind of a jokester she said
I knew he was serious by the jingling hat on his head
He shook those bells in our faces, demanding attention.
The way he needed attention defies comprehension....

There once was a young man from Kansas City
Who considered himself very witty.
For him others wrote a little ditty
"He jokes with bartenders,
snaps his suspenders,
jokester no less, that’s his nitty gritty.”...

Sitting on the crescent moon, the jokester was quiet.
His black sidekick Sylvester, an alley cat, needed a riot.
But he kept his counsel and pretended to meditate too.
It is the best way to get along with a jokester like Boo....

If he is a bothersome Bagley from Baggers town
He is a buffoon, a jokester, a creep, a clown.
We did not know another Bagley, just this one, our new Reverend Jim.
He did not get a fair shake, we disliked him immediately on a whim....

                 Don’t you understand,

Hidden Face Man of Des Moines was carrying his steed to Derby Town.
It’s the oddest sight, agreed a jokester, a monkey, a duck and a clown.
Onlookers wanted to take a peek, for it is not a matter of course
When you see a man in a turban carrying a brown upside down horse....

he has the look of a mischievous elf
I am terrified of it, for I recognize it as myself
what if he is a better jokester than me?
will he become king of this maple tree?

the elf gives me a nod, and a wink of his eye
I am afraid he is winning as he passes me by
what if the others like him better than I?
will the king hire him? Will I run out of food? Will I die?...

Orange you glad I didn't say banana
Was her favorite knock, knock joke
Everytime I think of her
There's a lump now in my throat

She always seemed to tickle herself
As much as she tickled me
That funny little jokester
That too soon had to leave

Now she spends her time in heaven
Making angels laugh
Instead of saying banana
Orange you glad I said orange instead...

Regal lion of the square table knights
You know our hearts, you right our rights.
We admire you, you are our hero, lioness said.
Her compliments went straight past regal lion’s head.

He is too wise for you, the jokester told the feline.
She did not like hearing this, and began to whine. 
Regal lion walked out of the throne room with a swag.
You do not entice him in the least, I said to the hag....

It could only happen, Mandy 
to a jokester such as you,
that a mix-up in your birthday
lets you pick your choice of two.
    
Wear double birthdays as a necklace, 
to enhance your lovely face
or each one as bright flower
in an everlasting vase.

May all your days be filled with
happiness
and loved ones all surround.
May the joy you give to others 
double back in big rebound.  

	With much love,

		 Joyce...

Stars make me happy
Stars fill me with laughter
Stars make night-seeking fun
Stars can bring the jokester out of all of us

Stars remind us of our sadness
Stars represent all lives lost
Stars sometimes make us frown
Stars sometimes make us glum

Stars make us calm
Stars are peaceful
Stars make us relax
Stars are soothing

Stars are inspiring
Stars are amazing
Stars are like humans because,
Stars are different...

I like my vegetable women raw, raw, raw
This was sung by the local lah-dee-dah
He is a jokester from upstate near McCaw
We did not know if he meant “rah rah rah”
Or did he mean rather “raw raw raw”.

The vegetable women rolled their eyes.
They were unhappy for sure, no big surprise.
One was a cabbage woman full of ants and flies.
She had lots of ideas, but many were not wise.
Never liked the lah-dee-dah she said to the sunrise....

Jerry, a jim-dandy jezebel in a jerkwater town,
Jiggled her jangles, joking her jubilant ways up and down.
Juicily Junoesque and jocular, Jerry jawed with the best.
Such jiggery-pokery was soon put to this jerky town’s test.
Jailbirds jammed the sidewalks to see Jerry walk by.
Her jabberwocky jabbering gave them a reason to sigh.
A jaunty jokester with joyous absolute joviality,
Jerry was accepted as the jubilant jezebel of this locality....

Who's the riddler that some call God, 
The jokester that some call Lord?
The enigma in everyone's mind... 
That's way to much to try to absorb? 
It's all of this, and all of Time... 
And can even be seen by the troubled blind.
It's fear of Living; 
Knowing it won't last. 
And it's comfort to a dying man. 
It's all that's now from Future's past... 
The author of the Great Plan... 
A little book with a lot to say,
Written in the palm of the hand!...

Listen spring let’s talk
I know you’ve been temperamental
Lately and there the crying
That’s been going on for years
Are you ok?
Don’t get mad
I just wanted to help
I guess I could go but
You’re everywhere
I don’t mind and you think you’re
Better than summer
Cuz you’re changing
Yeah I guess I can
Understand the tears
Well thanks for listening
You seem like a great season
Hope to see you again soon.
Ok jokester
Rain on me a little 
Though you know I can’t leave...

Abraham Lincoln, the president, 
Awe-inspiring American gent. 
Lead the American Civil war 
Abolishing slavery no more. 

Abraham Lincoln, the president, 
Scraggly and tall, cheeks each flaccid dent. 
Laughing, jokes were told of people’s flaws.  
Jokester, mocked how ugly he was. 

Abraham Lincoln, the president 
Shared his humorous stories frequent.  
History's great leaders, once long ago;
Helped shape the America we know.

Lincoln was 6’ 4” tall...
