Short Old Codger Poems

A pickpocket named Dodger
lived to become an old codger,
alas a walking stick and heaps of pain
his getaway speed sadly on the wane.

A randy old codger called Pete
His actions were quite indiscreet
His passionate whirl
With a sexy girl
Brought the patter of tiny feet!

Old Codger Crotchfield of Livermore
Knows of no child he does not deplore
When kids trick or treat
He throws them pig's feet
The next day raw eggs cling to his door

SHIVER ME TIMBERS!

Once a cut-throat and cannon ball dodger
Now a one legged salty old codger
But when ship enters docks he
Will look up an old doxy
And hoist up with a good Jolly Roger...

Here lies my dear brother Fred

who passed in the prime of his life.

By huffy old codger shot dead

while shagging the codger’s young wife.

I am bringing my puppy, the old codger said.
The rest of the foursome were less than pleased with young Lucky.
But the puppy was no trouble, and helped their team get ahead.
Many others let them play through, to get to pet the sweet puppy....

A surly old codger in Panama City
Said of the annual tourists "What a pity!"
Groused at the snow birds
With crudest curse words
While chanting a mariner's naughty sea ditty.

Two old codgers in rocking chairs
Half time talking, half time stares

Reminiscing about their life
Integration of peace and strife

Will I now be condescending
Maybe to the point of offending

No, that's not the way it will be
Because one old codger is me!...

The gals are besotted with Roger,
he's famed for the size of his todger,
they pay for his time
(he charges a dime) -
he's ninety but not an old codger.

No need of Viagra in force
as Roger's ancestors were Norse
(and vikings were known
for getting a bone) -
his resume says, 'Intercourse.'...

So, this bunny was really hungry I guessed.
The old weathered snail was testy in his nest.
That bunny was trying to steal our carrots he said.
This old codger was wrinkled, older, should have been dead.

That baby bunny must have been hungry to dig.
I said to this old codger, whose hair should have been a wig.
He is a thief! The old geezer said, not giving the baby a chance.
I walked away rapidly, almost doing a dance....

Have a Guiness and let’s toast St. Patrick
Whether laddie, lass or old codger geriatric
A bold gent with such clout
All Eire’s snakes he shooed out
Never has there been a saint so theatric! 
Robert
                                 
I am an old codger geriatric  
But I will raise a toast to ST. Patrick  
For shooing those snakes  
Away for our sakes  
He definitely was Saint Fantastic
