Roly poly, my friend 
Time under leaf, you spend
Tell me, what you see
To you I am big
But you are small to me...

Active fun-loving roly poly little goalie
slowly retrieved a ball so lowly
He said right away
It is a great day!
The crowd yelled back “Holy Moly!”...

Fat, oblong, rotund, roly poly
elongated, flawed, stubby,
dented, dusty, malformed
oranges globes - scattered
helter skelter - in rows
of farmers' fields......

scraping of the soil
invasion of millipedes
unearthed by rakers ~
those roly poly critters
in every nook and cranny

Used to be called a teddy bear when I was roly poly
Now when you see me it's like I've gone on safari
Exaggerate a bit?
Perhaps, I admit
But having fits keeping the girlies off my trolley...

Ricotta and meat cannelloni,
a pizza pie (pepperoni)
with cheesy macaroni,
followed by spumoni.
Holy cannoli!
Roly poly
full of glee
you’ll see
me!

Puppies colored brown, black, white,
pounce and tumble, such a sight.
Noisily they squeak and yip,
watch your fingers, they might nip.

Little legs trip and fumble,
bodies lay in a jumble.
Silly pups are full of play,
roly poly all the day.

I used to eat 'til I was stuffed
    never knew when I'd had enough
  Some folks called me roly-poly
    others found me gruff

  Now I'm satisfied with just a little
    which does wonders for my middle
  And did I mention my transformation
    from hostile to hospitable...

Poly-Ticks is Greek for " Plays with Dicks",
Whilst all carries on as before,
Stop! A moment please, I insist,
Name me one worthwhile person in that whole crowd,
Cite a single act of which they can be proud,
They're mediocre, half wits who haven't a clue,
But do you know what's worse? They rule me and you....

Such roly poly little angels

I used to think I had a friend who was also my Cherabim

I used to think I was a Cherabim

I met a therapist student in an institution who said, "I'm a  Cherabim."
I said, "So am I."

Now, my brother Michael is my Cherabim. He looks after the family.

Yes, Cherabims unite!...

Roly poly armor plated,
Clumsy gated beast.
Looking for a juicy worm,
A creepy, crawly feast.

Sleeping mostly through the day,
Prowling at night,
seeming quiet, docile, shy,
He can put up a fight.

Not a trouble maker,
It's just his lot in life.
He does his best not to be seen.
He's trying to survive....

BATHER

She’s naked
Well? – perception naked
Existing with them all
In an obscure, spray-saturated atmosphere
An almost steamy dimension.
The poly-synthetic, strained drip
Along her streaming, rubber thighs
A chemical blue become plunge
Become weird, relaxed intensity
And those shouts!
Lay about
Shout!
Play

Roly poly armour plated,
Clumsy gaited beast.
Looking for a juicy worm,
A creepy, crawly feast.

Sleeping mostly through the day,
And prowling at night,
Seeming quiet, docile, shy,
He can put up a fight.

Not a trouble maker.
It's just his lot in life.
He does his best not to be seen,
He's tryng to survive.

Beauty, I  beseech you that tussles not
lies more like a temblor in the heart
in broken twigs it suffers from-
The twilight like poly-valleys in the Sahara
eyes of a vigilant bearer  scared
of the mere silhouette in the dark 
        -
The heart whose belated portrait only she wears
Beholder, you I call upon- show me beauty...

I come before you holy;
Ah! but the pebbles on my feet are so rough; 
The mack daddy will flee, in pants of poly;
Forgot to check for cars first though;
Hope is never hopeless;
Alas, my leg of dry gangrene,
hath fallen off again;
Where's the Scotch tape? 
In a dress? A dress, address; 
Out west, 
is where I went, alone in my escape

My sweet pup
  
     I have a sweet pup,
    Who loves to sit on any table top!!!!
  
    He is a roly poly pup
   And I have named him lollipop! !!!!
 
   In the morning as soon as I get up,
   From somewhere he will show up!!!!

    He will jump around me with his nose up,,,
    As if asking me what's up!!!!!!
 
    He drinks water from a cute cup
    Slurp!! Slurp!!! Slurp!!!!...

The big Rabbit 
On my way home at twilight and with
a bag of abstract pearls I was stopped
by a giant leporine, it was silky blue but
had fangs like a walrus.
Was it a Cenzon Totochtin or could it be
a Minorcan Lagomorph, a Roly Poly.
Rabbits used to be big in pre-historic time
this one bit the fender of my car
before jumping into the bushes.
Alas, I had no camera, when I told my wife
she didn`t believe me....

Oogeling ouggulluurzz,

Fidgety fogging verse!

Peoples are nodding to their words,

beats aren't so bumpy
so they blotter on burbs...

Seasoning at saunter,

as he wander wanders-

bottoming the plotter who thinks its
'why bother?'

As a holy day walker
streamin' the fodder,

Poly pulls the jog on her,

says 'yes we'll get knocks
to twist turns-
silly like talks in the chik_burns,
and the whispers'....
