Short Lop Poems

You Know Rubio

Is cream of the crop;
Then big ears off had to lop
From bottom to top.

You Know Rubio
Would sure be a severe blow
Now new ones must grow.

Would you rather have your bangs cut too short
Or have someone come by and lop off your head?
For me it would be the latter, for I despise short bangs.
They make me self-conscious, and I wish I was dead....

With a pull of the arm
the eyes started to roll
Sweat poured from the pits
as if nothing at all.
Tears smudged the rims
from the pull, roll, and ring
When the fruit salad face
Showed a lop-sided grin....

Came a drunk in a lop-sided flivver
Pity the poor man's ill-fated liver
Not enough to be drunk
The man took a quick dunk
When he drove it straight into a river.

"Trump has learned that he likes to kibitz,
About all of his glory along with great glitz
Even found complete chaos and disorder
Each time he went across the border."

James Philosopher Discographer Horn

PS. How much off must you lop
When this one you want to top....

Graves for mariners,
leaning towards the sea,
a lot lop-sided
as if seasick

Gravely now,
we went towards the graves,
the sea churning,
then marinating green

The breed of the rabbit in her photo,
A dwarf lop, to know, I thought you ought to
With a name like Brandy.
I bet he was randy.
Like doing things he should not do.

Could be a French lop, can't really tell from the photo....

He mighta fooled the neighbor kids
    when he complain, "Chimney all plugged up!"
Mighta have fooled our Saint Bernard
    when he say. "Nice dawg you have there sonny."
But!    That man with them argyle sox and tennis shoes
    pillow stuffed    beard lop-slide-sided
He aint    NOOO  WAY!    Santa Claus
That fool be our skinny ol dad!...

Without values life may whop
And you cannot even yawp
As the destiny may strop
A valueless person nonstop.
If your values from life lop
It is zilch and make you fop –
Fop – a man with concern atop
For dress than character prop.
Without values we may drop;
Cannot stand or walk; sit or hop.
So respect values that clearly mop
All bad, illicit or forbidden crop....

Book is the only stop
Where all halt from top
For knowledge or whop
Of all sort and thoughts slop.
Though it clear drains prop
For teacher or for carhop.
They are vaguely clear lop
Whenever read makes plop
Of cognition to take you atop.
This is for money a great swop.
These are sooth in great strop
For those who keep them at doorstop.
What a pleasure they are as sop.
I loved to have ignorance to mop....

And as I grow old, don’t think I am not reminded!
Nor told with joy, “hey, your brain is so “lop-sided?”
How I howl,at their uninformed pride and scorn!
As I see each of them, get older each morn!

I think of the old ones,dead in the streets of Ukrania.
As hungry dogs eat their feet with dog-mania.
Are younger humans any different than they?
Destroying the old, by words they say?

Sanmati, my messenger, is no more a milksop.
Ardent though is she never will yawp.
Nagging sometimes though in some shop.
Merrily walks in crowd alone till atop.
Amends her needs; tackles one with strop-
Till he agrees with her, else does lop.
In always high spirits, ready to swop
Joy or sorrow equally treats like gumdrop.
Angry if treats us like a bellhop
In our home or out, but never plop
Nor cry in public to show us flop....
