Short Miffed Poems

He 
is so bald 
he misplaced his hat 
curses up a storm, he does 
miffed.

He's weird with a beard like a brute
Yet Travis with Taylor is cute
We hope she's not miffed
If he is too swift
In bed in his red football suit...

She went swimming in the China Sea
Where monsters of various types could be
One bit her leg
She blamed me, Peg
Incredibly miffed, I drank her tea...

Santa Claus, should he really exist
Would have every Soupers name on his list
He'd make sure none of us were miffed
And provide for each a special gift...

life throws us fastballs
and sometimes when we strike out,

She pooh-poohed his smallish gift.
He looked glum and she looked miffed.
	No diamond in sight,
	She did not delight.
Her love for him was set adrift....

Concert tickets were a fabulous gift, 
But this bathroom line has me quite miffed. 
Next time, I won't wait to "go"
Until after the show 
When I go out to see Taylor Swift.

Route 66ish No 6

A young girl who hailed from Kentucky,
Was out-going, sweet and quite plucky,
When out on a date
With an old childhood mate,
She was miffed 'cos his boxers were mucky!!...

Football exists!
It's all hit and miss,
The goals they missed,
Lost in the mists,
Supporters get miffed,
Yes, football exists,
Woe! No more need be said,
I've banished football from my head!...

Here lie the remains of Hector O. Swift
Someone gave him an explosive gift
Seems Hector got quite a lift
He had no time to even feel miffed
Through his remains we had to sift

Fetters,
in letters,
locked,
in speech,
shut,
in mouth,
stunted,
in ideas,
he simply,
was bound,
no one,
was there,
to bring him around,
he simply miffed,
breathed in,
and asyphixated,
he kept quiet for life,
and died leading,
a life mostly free of rife....

Mermadic waves, her feminine tailspin kaleidoscopic.
Drastic and hypnotic, nautical miles in search of new blood.
Sea’s miffed with white caps drawing Neptune, smarting for epic brawl.

Kris, so miffed having heard Blitzen say,

"You must shelter in place, Christmas day!",

drew a sip from his flask
through a rip in his mask,

then threw every last gift off his sleigh!

Better at hiding- KIB




Imbued in vast ocean of grief, 
as emotions dig deep ;
Heart pounces on my soul,
I bid adieu to a great dad ;
Tears scroll down in miffed sleep ...
Lunar tides go tranquil.

King of Labangru sent me a gift 
                                   My ubiquitous wife was so swift
                                      She neared me and said “Ho”
                                      God bless me!! I quipped “No”
                              Oh !She got miffed and went to shoplift...

December comes with an extra special gift
Even though the Japanese were once miffed
Every year my birthday falls on the fifth
So I like December…get my drift?

Retirement offers things new
I'm shouting a hip-hip yahoo
If what you’re feeling
Comes from a glass ceiling
Stop squealing and just say I'm through!

Retirement offers a lift
With no bad-ass boss who gets miffed
Since freedom will ring
The songs that I’ll sing
Sound more like those by Taylor Swift

A well spoken Martian came calling last week
He popped in the house for a chat
Though I wasn’t displeased 
When he coughed and he sneezed
I was miffed when he swallowed my cat
He said “ I am frightfully sorry, 
It isn’t like me to do that
You must think me a hog
For I much prefer dog
Or a rodent like rabbit or rat”...

Sat to jot down limerick in log book
Inept to find my pen carried miffed look
Probed my mum who lay on bed
She guffawed and slapped my head
The clutched one tumbled from hair as I shook

Green thumbs are a special gift
Such beauty they create
Not getting mine made me miffed
They said I was too late

I did leave with a talent
The golden touch instead
Within days my green plants went
To golden brown and dead

So if you need a gardener
Please do not hesitate
To tell me, “I’m sorry, Sir,
The job’s filled, you’re too late”...

Beat spouse
Called louse

In funk
Got drunk

Left bar
Drove car

Cop stopped
Got popped

Smelled booze
Bad news

Tests muffed
Handcuffed

To jail
No bail

Court date
Learned fate

Judge gowned
And frowned

One year
Oh dear

Confined
He pined

Short shrift
Wife miffed

Kim Jong Un invited Putin for tea
Trump was miffed that they didn't include he
So when they both went to pee
Trump locked them in with a key 
Said that'll teach them not to invite me...

How Not to Tip

A waitress at the Twisted Fish
Got a tip she did not wish
A tip like she had never seen
A plastic bag of methamphetamine
She call the cops who soon arrested
These “tippers” who were then drug tested
And found to be a wee bit high
Led off to jail bye and bye
Cops took the bag, the waitress’s miffed
She can’t believe that she got stiffed...

Watching life shift, falsly accused
Setting the pain adrift, feeling abused
Standing on a cliff, mind confused
Trying not to feel miffed, alas to no use
Feeling no more bliss, instead only blues
Been far too long since kissed, lips dry as a burnt fuse
Contemplating if I will be missed, I now ask you
Is this all there is to exist, or is it all just a rouse?...

Sad indeed the tears we shed in hollow marshland 
streams,
bad vibes worsen childhood fears, they shatter midnight dreams,
mad at tactless ghostly jeers and oddball moonlight beams, 
had my fill of twilight years when chasing eye blind schemes,
fad disowned by trendy peers who look quite miffed it seems, 
glad I’m one with bright careers and happy prospect teams...
