Short Poked Poems

Giant fingers 
   punched and poked
Holes in cloud's balloons
Leaking fog   over all....

multilingual birds
i hear -
little studs
poked into each ear
in stunning colors...

Facebook is like being in prison, 
you sit down and waste time, 
write on walls, 	
and get poked by people you don't know....

He poked his head
betwix mine write
for the likes of I
to address his query

"Do I blend in
Pops
do my words
sense"

The tears 
fell...

It finally happened, I've lost my mind
Her hairy back was one of a kind
Her mom was standing there
In only her underwear
I poked my eyes out and now I'm blind...

Creatures from the deep blue lagoon
  Surrounded the sleeping baboon
    They poked him in the belly
    Out came strawberry jelly
  Opened up a brand New Delhi!...

Do you all know Theodore Thimple

On his nose he had a big pimple

We all joked and teased it

So he poked and squeezed it

Most efforts are never that simple...

Was it the wind that had been loosed?
On my still bum, he’d come to roost.
I’d been poked unaware.
I turn around and stare.
By a cicada, I’ve been goosed.

Gargle with jelly 
Said my little nephew lenny
While making car noises 
Watching the Tele
Wanted to try it but he wouldn't let me
So I got a big stick and poked his fat belly...

Pineapple is poked with knife to remove eyes
Skin of banana is peeled
Grapes are simply eaten

The personality you wear determines
the way you are treated by others

HOLY SMOKE

Alas it seems even the Pope
when poked in the rear with the “scope”
had one request
right after the test
“call the fart that came out HOLY SMOKE”

I went to the doctor for a sharp pain,
I couldn't walk straight without my trusty cane,
while the doctor poked around
I danced to some old Motown...
Hey, I'm standing straight - this jacket's insane!...

Jack and Jill were in the barn one day,

when Jack spoke of a game to play.

But, when the door was shut,

something poked Jill in the butt.

It seems she found a needle in the hay.

Got a fax at work, no one had ever seen one before
We all stared at it, poked it with a stick, threw it on the floor
Ancient humans it seems
Had other means
Of communicating from one cave to the cave next door ...

In science lab one day
  they emptied out my brain
Even poked, it wouldn't say
  a word about my pain

at never chancing what I knew
  was beyond my comfort zone
That's why my brain just never grew 
  ~ the reason for my brittle bones...

The hayride proved fun for all I must say

Until I jumped up and bellowed, “Oy Vey!”

     Other couples’ heads poked out

     Just to learn what made me shout

(I’d sat upon a needle in the hay.)

Hope Poked

Snowdrops of hope have poked through the frost
A sign which tells us all is not lost
White, green and sprightly 
Spreading cheer brightly
With bells of glory Earth is embossed.

He fed some chicken down his throat
and plugged his airpipe tight
Then vomited for 6 damn days
to fill his mouth with fright

And came along to think he'd die
till doctors poked his chicken
When all the chicken fell right down
an anus for the licken...

As Mrs Clause poked at her Chicken Chasseur
How could such an opportunity pass her?
With the Reindeers on strike
Santa slow on his bike
Missed her appointment with her hunky Masseur

Penelope prayerfully poked and pondered in search of a new word play.
She wanted it wrapped with winking words to welcome in her day.
The dark and dusty dictionary danced mocking her as it swayed..
Penelope perused and pecked it's pages and penned a poem that way....

Mind over matter
What a sadistic lie
Because i sure feel 
The finger poked in my eye
"Get over it," they say
But i wear the stain
Must be easy for them
Not to deal with the pain
I just get so tired
Of the lies that they sell
Trading a moment of pleasure,
For a lifetime of hell....

We took mason jars
and poked small holes in their lids;
then went out into
those long hot summer nights as
childhood flickered around us.

We couldn’t hold youth
any more than we could keep
caught fireflies alive,
and our once bright lights are now
dimming in the jar of life.

Rudolf was in his Tundra cave with his wife
He poked out his nose and said, its raining outside
She said, are you sure it is rain, it looks like snow from here 
Certainly he said, Rudolf the Red knows rain dear 
I have a very soaking nose
And if you ever asked me
I could even tell you when it snows...

[A little spin off from my ‘Freezer Mice’ range]

                                 *

Man’s earliest ancestor was a teeny weeny shrew
It poked its nose in everything as it went fro and to
It picked a fight with everyone that came within its range
And all that I can say to that is, ‘some things never change’...
