Short Mongrel Poems

A shout and cry 
Hurried steps 
Chasing each other
Mongrel howling 
Eyes peeping behind blinds
Security lights lighting up
Sighs of relief 
Mutted mummers
Danger is over for now...

Oh, a mangy little doggie went galumphing down the street
And as his luck would have it he just happened there to meet
A warden with a wagon and a heavy-duty net
And he nabbed the rabid mongrel and he took him to the vet....

Neo*,
My beamish boy,
Who slayed 'The Jabberwock'.
"Oh frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!"
My friend.

*Neo is part Blue Heeler, part mongrel and all good. Mostly.
Lines used from Lewis Carrolls 'Jabberwocky'....

The peep of morning's winking light
Woke the rooster's sour and tart crowing musical assault
He assaulted my senses until they will be heard
"up you lazy body"
Arise and greet the sleeping mongrel...
His fleas beg to be fed!...

Yes Prince Ekpemandu

vengeance is mine saith the Lord,
 and I would have justice for it too,
 what was done to this lady be abhorred,
 that the mongrel dog gets his due! 

punishment...Don Johnson

#Dedicated to the lady who get raped
in that Abia state university.......

The smell of dead flowers,
Life dances at "zero hour"-s,
No wonder man is doomed,
when you sit there, deplumed.

Move away, you peasant mongrel,
I'm not to be held,
accountable or to any sense.

Lime-a-way,my sins, oh darling,
even after I washed hands,
they still feel so damning.

ENGLAND
     evergreen
     temperate
shore washed,gulf stream

     changeable
     daily,song
four seasons long

that never last...
     traditions
     of the past,
its global stage
     a language...
     mongrel bred

      left unsaid,
     with reserve,
in bonded word


after Marianne Moore...

They climbed
resuming the mongrel form, 
The twelve.
A catcalling mob
burdened by sympathetic stimulants, 
Procured from the neck.
Yippering yowls 
break from a youth, 
Torn from thick, incongruous lips.
As a pack
they leap onto the quivering metal, 
Slender paws slapping on ice.
Ice all round; 
leering...over bearing... ungracious ice
To aid their whimpering might....

the ever helpful angels,
we meet along the way,
ones who will pick you up,
till you are happy, bloody aye,

boot the black dog up the Kyber pass,
and the mongrel whines away,
depression knocked off, on its asss,
when the angel comes your way,

take the world by scruff,
 yer tough enough,
be happy bloody aye,
let the inner spirit shine, plum duff,
is all that johnson says...

They said, "his bark is much worse than his bite"
So, I opened  the gate, without fright
But the beast would outwit me !
In the keister, he bit me!!
He will feast on my trousers tonight !

BETRAYER of worlds, EVIL mongrel, you 
REEK of the poison which delivers one 
Final BLOW to my buzzing brain. 
Alone, I shall survive, as I always do.
Hell hath no FURY like the sweet revenge
I shall set upon you. 
I will not lie or wander in this 
Purgatory any longer, questioning and 
Writhing in PAIN. 
Gaslight me again and I shall set you
AFLAME. 
Not a threat, not a threat, but a 
Promise....

My pal Chimparoo had the angriest cat
No matter what you did, he was mean as a rat
Jumping up and down like a Johnny Jehosophat
Always being mean to others was that horrible cat

Chimparoo, why do you like this mongrel so?
He’s not as bad as you think, Chimparoo lied high and low.
We knew it was bad, we could hear the cat giving her hell.
But Chimparoo had a sweet temperament, she would never yell....

I
It's a good day to die
If cancer got you back
Three days ago, I shared bread
With Smiley, a friend's dog
I reminded the youth to water him
Two days in a row, they complied
By this morning, 5 April, Smiley left
Us a legacy of love, loyalty, endurance

II
Many people have played with 
D O G and G O D ( in letter? Poor Spirit?)
I had a mongrel in my teens, RAMU:
He proved to be a prince and a joy
I remember as I say GODSPEED Smiley...

Jasper is the ultimate peddler man
Has all the supplies and says “I can”
He is the quintessential help you with it man.

He has things to wash your windows,
Sweepers for your floor.
He’s got polish for your shoes, your sheets and more.

No matter what the problem he has a solution.
Jasper can get rid of mongrel dogs, mites, germs, and pollution

His braggadocio ways are well known around here.
We call him when we need him. He is always near....

The blood of an evil man,
Spilled upon our world;
A new terror awakens,
His successor soon unfurls

Justice wields its mighty sword,
A mongrel succumbed to fate;
The mighty wings of an eagle,
Left nothing to contemplate

While our nation slumbers,
A serpent sets its course;
Waiting for that moment,
To strike without remorse

Let us slay our prejudices,
Together we'll stand and fight;
Terror stalks our fertile soil,
God bless our land of rights...

Midnight, Cerberus roams across the sky,
Chasing stars and barking upon the fly.
Hound of thunder, cloud riding the air,
With three heads and snaky tail awry.

Lightening cracks like a whipping lash,
Indoors, onlookers make a wild dash;
To escape the unnatural fiery glare,
Of the monster mongrel raining ash.

My pet dog cringes in abject fear,
Crawling into a box he is near,
Huddling low in the safe wooden square,
While the hell-hound doth sullenly sneer....

He’s there for me through thick and thin;
Closer to me than my next of kin;

With big ole feet, a long wagging tail;
And a nose that’s never lost the trail;

His long droopy ears have caught many a tear;
But I always have comfort whenever he’s near;

And I know whenever I am upset,
He’ll be there, my loyal pet;

He’s got my back, no matter what,
My silly mongrel and devoted mutt;

My baby Zeus, My faithful friend;
The one that will be there till the end....
