Short Needless To Say Poems

Nazareth was a place 
No one expected a
Noble King to come from. 
Now notorious for
Negating Christ's power
Non belief was their crime
Needless to say, us too....

It's therapy for the brain, quite needless to say
That surely is true
Don't know about you
But it's how I stay afloat, day after day...

The common folk loved their hero Robin Hood
Who lived with his band deep in the mysterious wood
He took from the rich and gave to the poor
Needless to say, it made the sheriff pretty darned sore.....

Spasms of ecstasy
Occurring as they like
Climax in continuity 
Rapturous bliss spike

Needless to say
The external fades away
Rhythmic sway
Renews every night & day

We thus are and be
Epitome of ecstasy...

Deanna beautiful as the morning sun
Eager to get the job done
All blessings are in her path ,
Nothing can stop her, she will never be last
Needless to say these are her words
Aspiring, and beautiful haven’t you heard?...

A lim'rick a day keeps the head doctor at bay
It's therapy for the brain, that's needless to say
That surely is true
Don't know about you
But they sure keep me afloat each day after day

Still as the waters beyond,
My soul hears the sound of love;
For the world will run away,
And my peace forever gone.


Needless to say, I'm a thinker, I'm a lover of love,
With my hands I write the poems;
With my heart I share my voice....

Now picture this little scene if you can
On our wedding night, a little humour I had planned
Came into the room looking svelte
Wearing only a Yankee cap and a belt
Needless to say it broke the ice and the night turned out grand...

My Dad at the ripe old age of sixty-one
Rode a one gear bike farther than most have done
Proving at his age, though retired
Could ride over seven hundred miles
Needless to say, a hero of mine and everyone

(Montreal to Toronto and back)...

Out of Cascade
Used dish soap instead
Started the dishwasher
Mass bubbles it bled

I grab the mop
But I'm too late
Shop vac in hand
Heading it off at the gate

Needless to say
I got alot done
In a short amount of time
But I need to be rung...
out!...

The people inthe world are behaving like insects

needless to say they are the most successful species on earth...

To please her newly married hubby
she asked his mother for her recipe:
a cake with bourbon, rum, and gin
and tasted each before added in.
Needless to say, it never made the oven
and no dessert that night was eaten,
though it might have been appreciated
if the batter hadn’t been intoxicated....

Alone


I came this way. 
I came alone.
Now it’s time for me to go home.
The things I’ve seen, 
thoughts and dreams.
Awakening many sinners screams.
To be strong and have faith in my path.
For I go first, 
I won’t be last
Needless to say, this game play. 
Is new for many 
Today my way.

"Buy me some drinks!" she said to me directly.
"After a few belts even you might just look good to me."
So I bought her a drink, then two more, repeatedly
and needless to say yours truly got lucky.
The following morning she kicked me out of her place immediatly
The above is just one more typical date for TheKidster, SillyBilly....

My love for you is like the morning dew. You are my daylight made for daytime,
My moonlight for night.
The reason I breathe.
You bring out the best in me.
I have traveled North,South.
Unraveled East,West.
Amongst all, you are the best.
I refuse others in lieu of you.
Needless to say, I sail no more.
For you, Angelique, i am weak....

The song contest.
There has been a song contest in Europe
Russian singers and musicians were banned
Which makes the contesting political?
Needless to say, Ukraine won. 
One notice Israel appeared but not
Palestine, who was mourning a dead reporter
Killed by an Israeli sniper, but we will not hold
 this against the musicians and singers...

My son
When just a little chap
in bath he sat and played 
so young and small played with a ball
and sat beside my wife

On looking at her sitting there
with some compassion and despair
He said mummy!
You're not the same as me
did daddy break it off

needless to say
from that day on 
the baths he took were nice and long
but somewhat on his own...

All the sudden he thought, he’d gone blind
He nearly went out of his mind.
            Then right away 
             He knelt down to pray
In hopes that his sight he might find.

Then alas he started to pray
Just as sudden the blindness went away
             He was quick to surmise
             His hat slipped over his eyes
Kinda stupid - it’s needless to say!...

Negative, positive,
Two opposite to each,
When bond together;
Generates reaction, 
While both collide;
Beget friction, 
we call is 'spark';
The supple Phenomenal,  
Combustible body,
Of flesh and mind,
Heats up in boiling emotions;
Dragged together,
By strong wind of yearn; 
Transforms to extensive 'Fire';
Needless to say, 
is romance full of love;

Shout it out loud
      I'm black and I'm proud
    I use Afro-Sheen
      to keep my hair clean...

    Thirty years old, YOU're over the hill
      I know, I'M enlightened
    I drop acid and mescaline pills

    Plus, I never miss a chance to 'off a pig'
      They're like 'blue meanies,' man, you dig?... 

    Ugh! It all sounds SO SIXTIES today
      ~ Tired cliches, needless to say...

4’10” and 14 years young,
Words were said but fists weren’t swung.
5’4” and 2 years down the line,
Negativity slowed, I started to shine.
5’8” and a hopeful social work success,
People don’t doubt me,
I’ve made progress.
4 grades and 10 inches later in my mental and physical growth,
Needless to say I’ve improved highly in both.
All I needed to do was wait,
That’s just me,
Motivated By Hate....

As a part time corrections officer
I witnessed some strange things
The State police brought on a man
Who had been sniffing gold paint

In his nose needless to say
His face was covered in gold
The next day I took him into court
His whole face still covered in gold

The Judge asked him how do you plead
Not guilty your honor 
The judge replied by saying
Are you kidding me?

I will never forget that day...

Oh dear friend of mine
I need to tell you about me and my wine
It always goes down so smooth
All of my cares it does soothe

Then when I go home 
To my frig I do roam
Inside another bottle of wine does set
So needless to say another glass I get

Then my eyes starch to blurling
Ants my worchs starch to slurching
Jist wunch I tellch waach agret friegs zha ares
Angs jist menbers thizisg way i donst goes ta bars...
