Short Moped Poems

once had a pet turtle
           it was green and very slow
      named him peanut-in-the-shell
   he was quiet and just moped around                hey
he never ever laughed at any of my jokes     peanut
         swim                              laze
       around                            all day

If today was yesterday
would I rush to the  mailbox 3 times
after the mailman went straight past?
If today was yesterday
would I trip as I ran to answer the phone
when it wasnt for me?
If today was yesterday
would I have sat alone in the dark
 waiting for the doorbell to ring?
If today was yesterday
Would I have moped around all day
waiting and waiting?
Yes I would have, today is today
and I am still acting the same way...

She passed me, I thought, on a moped 
Clad in a Muslim garb and covered face
Leaving behind the flavour of a smile
And hurried on towards an edifice ahead
I watched in awe and wished I had seen more
Then as she approached the edifice
The foreground turned into a lawn
Upon which she trod ever so serenely
Her garb unfolding into a bride’s train
That stretched a hundred feet behind
But she turned not and I saw naught
Of the beautiful nymph of Mombasa....

I will never go on a blind date again! Teresa told her best couple friends.
They exchanged looks, but kept their mouths shut.
A yellow Moped drove by.
It was driven by a man.
There was a St. Bernard on the front.
Teresa’s eyes followed the guy, the Moped and the St. Bernard.
The couple high-fived each other.
“Do you know that guy?” Teresa asked her friends.
They nodded. “He lives next door to us.”
“That’s the guy you wanted to set me up with?”
More nods.
“What are we waiting for?”...

Your Easter Bunny was very sweet
He took good care of our friends how Neat!
Maybe he was inspired by your songs
Hopefully we'll all get to sing along
Until then dear Friend, we're pulling for you
And hope your music are hits too
Until then Peter Cotton Tail
If your publisher works for me
I'll buy you a Moped to help save your feet.

Hoppy Easter from me to you
And Steve Kern, that goes for you too
You're IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
