Short Poughkeepsie Poems

A rottweiler with a dramatic flair
is a thespian beyond compare
He roams through Poughkeepsie
as the resident gypsy
always laying his emotions bare...

There once was a young man from Poughkeepsie
Who wanted to live life as a gypsy
In far land
Met rogue band
He soon learned such life was very risky....

who wanted his fortune told by a gypsy.

but got up to stare
for old gypsy seemed a little bit tipsy....

too-da-loo Christmas
two kids in tow Buffalo
grandpa won’t be there
left the gifts in Poughkeepsie
where faerie lights will not glow

I once met a man from Poughkeepsie
Who appeared to be rather tipsy
Wandering about;
Drinking his dark stout,
I'm fairly certain he's a gypsy.

A silly old man in Poughkeepsie
In love with a beautiful gypsy
She took him far away
On a warm sunny day
When he was a little bit tipsy.

I once met a thirsty man from Poughkeepsie--uh,
He drank four quarts a day of Diet Pepsi--uh,
It was certainly no dry joke
The over-saturated bloke
Died from an extremely rare case of dyspepsia.

(oopps) mistake of moving upstate, near Poughkeepsie (Wappinger Falls, which
