Short Paternity Poems

Back in Nineteen seventy-three
Men sowed oats and courts ruled them free
But now DNA
Can make them all pay
Their fair share of paternity...

my son will always be different
his father proclaims his innocense of pregnancy
how true a paternity test is
to reveal the same DNA
from father to son
what a beautiful son
he will miss...

labour in obscurity
for modern maturity
stashing more security
for unknown futurity

of planned paternity
some clothes for maternity
stay in indemnity
for here to eternity

live not in enmity
foresee the calamity
there is no deformity
in displaying conformity...

Suddenly she is all grown up
Time to declare I am over the hill
as I hurtle down, filled with
gratitude; a spring in my step

I am a suitor again;a paternity suitor
filled with thanksgiving and joy
The providence of God delights me
on the birthday of my daughter,Tanya...

To all those fathers and fathers to be,
and those male figures with out paternity:
Teach your children honesty.
Show them a spirit of generosity.
Teach them right when they've done wrong.
It won't be long before their gone, so
instill those values and love them strong.
Happy Father's Day to all!!...

Should Have Seen the Scholar

You should have seen the bright scholar;
In first class each did learn how to holler;
Raise  their hand;
Answers demand;
Also, how to play pinocchle in the parler.

Sorority, Fraternity, Maternity, Paternity
and Viscosity

Write a poem using those words.

The psychic tattoo
of paternity
darker than
fate’s blackest ink

The guilted knife
of maternity
cutting you
near to the brink

A prodigy alone
in the shadows
offspring of
scorn and disdain

Begging for love
and acceptance
from parents
— called heartache and pain

(This is a fictional poem)

I became Eric Cartman's father after I slept with his mother.
She turned out to be a very lousy lover.
A paternity test showed Cartman's mom to be a hermaphrodite.
But I know for a fact that that's not right.
I was drinking booze when I went to South Park about ten years back.
I regret the experience because she's a whore on crack....

Uncovering your breasts
and waist,
you become half-eaten.

Disaffection
fathere a child.

The intimacy was
false. There were anger and theatrics.

The paternity suit falls
flat. The boundaries between
underthings are torn.

Painting the self-portrait
I had made a cut on my face
for you to bleed.

With a flick of hand
you wipe out the whole future.

A legacy for a father
waiting uninspired
Painted by the numbers
paternity required

Angel guardian my lost friend
orphanage exile
Free me on this darkest night
lead me through denial

Empty titled nominee
robbers roost to hide
Salutation waits unborn
seeded but unrhymed

Grand-Pere whose master’s voice
birthed my infant scrawl
Fill me once then fill me twice
— to sire and enthrall

Make me thankfull for Paternity


I no longer crave Success
As the One I wish most to Impress
Sadly no longer lives at this Address
Ill meet you on the other side
Provide the wing’s so we both can glide
And Ill show you my Life
If you’ll show me yours
I wont lobby my position
Apologise for my stupid decision
Ill just look you in the eye
So you can separate truth from lie
While you slowly carress the tear's from my Eyes...

Boris Becker
misused his pecker
He had sex in a closet
leaving a baby deposit!

Inspired by Brian Strands' poem Becker which was about an artist and my poem is posted with his kind permission

Tennis player Boris Becker had sex in a restaurant closet with a model he'd just met. Becker acknowledged paternity of a daughter, Anna, with Russian waitress Angela Ermakova, not surprisingly his marriage ended!

Gain he stole but pain is fading, 
I'll give forgiveness in another morrow
The pathos now still boldly bidding
But the bellow to forgive, I feel below

Morrow came with a twisted blend
The eye of the cloud is painted red
My epistle to forgive I can't heaven send
My offender is now yonder led

Tomorrow here is not eternity
Not all will wear the canescent hair
Now do what you can for paternity and divinity
Tomorrow you may not breathe our air...

The artists

Alfred, my chosen father, who denied
The paternity has his statue erected in Faro
At last, they honoured him for being glorious
Brought colour to an otherwise gloomy town.

Graffiti made by the likes of Banksy charms,
Most of the rest is scribbling on a wall.

I know little about a painter but Caravaggio
Spoke the unvarnished truth about our life.
His critics like to point out he was illegal too
What else to expect from a truth-teller....

Alfred, by chosen father, vehemently denies
the paternity and has had his statue erected in Faro.

I know little about painters except for Caravaggio

Sue's livid with Mackie Avellen
He's ditched her for her bestie Ellen
I pity poor Sue
Not sure what she'll do
As her pregnant belly's now swellen
 
Now Mackie is nasty cad
He’s denying that he is the dad
A paternity test
Will put Sue’s mind at rest
His denial made Sue boiling mad

Sue's happier now without Mackie
Ellen never will please him, she's wacky
She'll raise their l'il boy
He'll be her pride and joy
Mackie's proven to be just a lackey...
