Short Lickety Split Poems

Lady
in
California
kicked
eight
turtles
yesterday

she
put
lotion
in between
throbbing toes.

My pup had puddin’ in a cup
Tapioca and mocha 
Downed it, bottoms up!

Had the runs, got into a fit
Made it in time
Lickety-split...

A sanctioned priest fell in his cell
Lickety-split straight down to Hell
He grabbed a spade
But for its shade
Since Climate Change does not bode well...

She ran through the streets lickety-split
like a fine race horse chomping her bit
	a race for the throne
	winner gets the cone
cold ice cream crown a tasty tidbit...

Amanda write limericks so darn quick
She just dashes them off lickety-split
  Somehow she gets them to rhyme
  Finishing each one in time
To post them before you can hit 'Submit'...

When you give your body
proficient time

Your mind will hope
to lickety-split
complete our rhythmic

reasoned
just right...

Rhyme
when given
our incarnate body
proficient time......

Living
Independtly
Can cause
Keepsake
Encounters
To turn into traumatized 
Yearnings

So some
People
Leave
Intimacy
Twisting

Longevity of life 
Involves a great amount of
Courage and requires 
Kindness 
Empathy
Tenderness
Yourself respect

Speed of a lifetime 
Possesses many twists
Leading us down
Interpersonal roads
Till death doth us part.

Love grows lickety-split
in the fertile hearts of
children
keeping innocence alive,
especially in
the very
young.

Some altruistic
people believe
love
is truly
the soul of humanity.

Down came jolly Santa, lickety-split
not checking to see if a fire was lit.
He shot out of the chimney
while dancing a fast shimmy-
His job is oft harder than he'll admit!

“I scream, you scream, we all scream for ice cream”

Ice Cream lyrics by Howard Johnson 1927

LICKETY-SPLIT

pied piper’s sprint
in a child’s cul-de-sac
dishy melody
little legs come running forth
taking their licks in no time

Listen to poem:

Like a flash
I was beaten
Caught in the blink of an eye
Knowing not why I was so, so
Easily beaten
Till I saw the chain
You hooked on my behind.

Splutter and stumble
Puffed and spent
Losing the battle
I was hell bent
To win the reprisal...

Long legs travel faster
                   Incendiary post:
                 Checkered past,
               Knocked up.
             Eager ears!
            Tell me more!
          Yodel across the valley...

        Soap box
      Platform.
    Lick more stamps!
  In conclusion, gossip
Travels lickety-split!

A Song is -- 

  Not words on paper
    or a tune from the lips
  To reflect moments poignant
    is never lickety-split

  I've racked my brain 
    searched my soul
  Still no results
    and I'm getting old

  It's time, I feel
    to take a real chance
  To knock on the door of my heart
    and invite her to dance...

Like diamonds bathed in sun,
Islands in the 
Caribbean call my name.
Kiss me with your sultry
Energy and charm.
There’s a beach bum waiting for me, with
Yellow hair bleached by the sun. 

Such longing I feel, as he
Pulls me to paradise, where.
Love blooms at last.
If only in a wink-of-the-eye dream,
Tropical splendor is mine.

Long ago when I was young
I found cycling so much fun.
Climbing hills in fifth gear.
Keeping fit gave so much cheer.
Easily overtaking slower folk.
Teasing all those younger blokes.
Yes, a whiz kid was I.

Sadly age has taken a toll.
Panting now, I'm not so bold.
Lickity split I'm afraid not.
I have to admit my heart's in shock
To contemplate even a hillock....

Lickety Split

Life is a vessel 
Inside my mind
Creeping along
Knowingly
Elan is over when the sails topple 
The wind ceases
Youth, and lulls old age

Such is the ascent and descent 
Pressing on now in quick montages
Life in its infancy to ending
In a blink of prized tuna and weathered sails
This vessel sailed by much too fast

L eeping from his stupor
I van dashed out the door to his 
c ar.
K eys in hand he
e yed his brand new
T oyota Supra Turbo.
Y anking the door open he jumped in the drivers

s eat started the engine, slammed it into gear and 
p ushed the gas pedal.
L istening to the roar of the engine
i gnited his senses. Filled with adrenaline he
t ore down the highway lickety split....

Lickety Split and Thunder Lou
Be you Green or be you Blue
Come and play and bring a shoe
If you insist you may bring two

Lickety Split and Pink Horse Poo
Be you Red or White or Blue
Your yellow roses simply grew
Garden faeries laughed at their new.

Lickety Split and Cake Horn Too
Be you silver without a clue
Your colorful kindness comes through
I so want to play with you!...

The silence of the road
intends to pause the observer’s speed.
Unchanged continuity
had a cubic quality.

Presenting yourself to lick salt
before molestation.
The sanctity
stands violated.

The horror thing looms
large,neatly dressed
dancing in your boots.
The path ends at a tree.

You misprint the name
of a tormentor.
Man becomes a beast
in a love triangle.

As we stroll through life at a slow snail pace,
Or Lickety split... whichever the case,
Remember to look, sift through your life,
God didn't make junk, not husband nor wife!

The children may stray, get out of line,
Look like pure trash but grow to be fine.
So judge not fast, whatever you do,
Sometimes the problem is little old you.
