Short Kennedy Poems

Laid to rest,
Beside his
Two brothers,
Here, we nest,
In providence
These gentlemen of Camelot
Sir Edward Kennedy,
May you rest in peace...

Kennedy Airport
It's a busy place to be
any day or night.

Nearly all the world's airlines
fly in and out of this place.

Fallwells invited Trump for tea
He brought his club and balls for three
If Trump could make par
He'd earn a gold star
Instead he found Jack Kennedy...

Kennedy Was An Amenity
 
Came to conclusion about Kennedy;
Was always an outstanding amenity;
Handled things;
Honor he brings;
Recognized as independent identity....

What make men
Have this courage
To do what is right
Spread your wings and
Take this flight, because you
Hold this joyous light

America loves you so much...

   In the name of a certain Kennedy
     I hope you'll take me seriously

   Ask not what 2024 can do for you
     Ask what you can add
                    ~ and follow through...

Taken from us
Your extraordinary life
This torch must pass
To another cause
This moment in time
As time marches on
Until we yield
Things back to God
Farewell, my friend, and
Do take care...

Ted Cruz on Fox News

Wondered what in the world if Ted Cruz,
Was found in a  bar being on Fox News;
Dad Kennedy Shot,
And he got caught,
Joking around while drinking few brews.

November 22, 1963
  Camelot came crashing down
From a sniper's single bullet
  aimed all too perfectly

A lone gunman took the life
  of John F. Kennedy
And stole the heart of America
  innocent nevermore to be...

President John F Kennedy,
made America space ready,
shot when in the prime of his life,
he died next to his loving wife!

Here lies that warrior for justice, Ted Kennedy, a purebred
   He fought for the poor and neglected, the pundits all said...

Except the little inconvient truth of Chappaquiddick
   Exposed him as an alcoholic murderer -- and narcissistic...

her way to touch the sky
her light in mine
her soul on my destiny

I like our dawns to two
her stains of silence

I like nova fire
these vibrations to caress

I like our mad fantasies
their dust of instant

an instinct of existence...

Martin Luther King, Jr.
  a leader, a statesman
a preacher, an inspiration

Robert F. Kennedy
  boyish, vulnerable
beloved, fiercely capable

Ponder a moment, will you? ~
  How great America might be
Had she blended the words
  and the works of these two...

Upset About Death of Bobby Kennedy

Am listening to Hardball with Chris Matthews
who had written a book about Bobby.

Was a moment we may never forget;
Our society had to pay another debt;
A body died,
And we cried;
Bobby Kennedy is gone and are upset.

Yes, I'm the last baby boomer
too young for Woodstock, Kennedy
too old now to pretend
But I am the People
I'm this generation
freedom has been my friend
Call me niave, I still believe
we are all our beautiful color
our sister, father, brother
We are all Eve...

We have lost, yet, another imperfect friend.
A family man, whose lapse took decades to amend.
Whose congeniality in gentility will always abide,
whose search for universal equality in us still resides.
Let none who have not serve so reply.
Mourn, Edward Kennedy has died....

Raised on Punch and Judy punch lines,
Kennedy-tears, King’s dreams.
We stood, short, sightless,
mingled in knees among the hot August freedom crowd.

Meir Kahane, Malcolm X, Martin Luther King, John F. Kennedy 
 All gone by the assassin's bullet
     My blood chills at 
the thought of another gunshot
   A friend told me  - they know what they are getting into 
He was right!
   But still  - my blood runs cold
Doesn't yours?...

And it came to pass the Lion sleeps at last.
The heart sinks as the pain reacts so fast.
Our prestigious Camelot, where have they gone?
Without them, the World goes on.
So much emptier they say.
Hard to know a sadder day.

In memory of Edward Moore Kennedy
1932 - 2009
Rest in peace...

The universe is a wonderful thing.  I just want to say that I am in love with the 
plantet pluto.  It is wonderful.  President John F. Kennedy I just want to say thank 
you for finding the stars; and the plantets.  I love to look at them at night and find 
out constellations.  I love the milky way....

Kennedy didn’t die in Dallas
And Elvis lives outside of Memphis
You see they got sick of the guff
And took identities that were good enough

So if you see an impersonator in their act
Looking good as a matter of fact
It may be the real deal
Hiding in plain sight comfortably real.
