Short Run Off Poems

Often
trickle-down
prosperity
evaporates into
thin air....

Galaxies of clouds
Run off into the sunset
Leaving me alone...

When I caught the Mexican
Who’d run off with my lexicon
He said are you a Texican?
It seems he couldn’t read...

As empty as the future
So is a soaked page
Whose ink has run off.
I hope to be the author;
A new and boundless decade
Awaits my pen's touch....

gas masks flung hither and yon
Rarely bother me
This one is different
placed precariously
diligently watching me
plotting my demise
planning my slow horrible death
I run off screaming...

Lady from Lincoln

there once was a lady from Lincoln
at whom the guys couldn’t stop winkin
she developed a cough
making  them all run off
to the pub to carry on drinking...

White Goose Feather

What I will like is a white goose feather,
On back of bright goose clumped together;
Pretty and white,
Day and night;
Water does run off during any weather.

absorbing you
like thirsty earth

hard, brittle ground
it isn't easy 

so many rain drops 
run off
before you 
get under my skin

now
I could be
saturated

and you 

dry up and 

blow away...

I'm way down the track, eighty-five by golly
But my choo-choo has yet to run off the trolley
Still eat by myself
I'm in pretty good health
Still charm the pants off some cute young dollies...

Run Off Trump Mouth

Run off big mouth he had the urge
Of America Trump is now new scourge
On his debts did another exclusive
How to women had been abusive
People like Trump we need a purge.

I'm way down the track, over eighty by golly
But my choo-choo has yet to run off the trolley
Still eat by myself

Busy, busy, busy, that's an absolute fact
But can't forget my friends, though my wallet gets fat
I'll be run off the site
So I'll try hard in spite
To make sure my friends know I'll be back to chat...

Grandma said she would take care of the kids now
I knew things were tight, gramps had run off with the cow
and a woman, but we were sworn to secrecy about that
Grandma took her anger out on us. Now I have to wear a hat...

The wind takes an eardrum,
and fills it with hail.

The waves crash beyond me
on an unbeaten trail.

There are men here who think
they’ve found victory and wealth,

but the giant’s run-off,
and left for his health....

There’s no such thing as an honest person.
You can’t find trust anywhere.
It got up and run off years ago.
Never realizing there’s no trust.
Suddenly one of your friends betray you.
And that my friend is all I have to say....

I'm way down the track, almost eighty by golly
But my choo-choo hasn't yet run off the trolley
Still eat by myself
I'm in pretty good health
Still charm the pants off some cute young dollies

Out in a winter’s field 
My camera takes photos 
Of white tailed deer 
Running about 

Clicking… 
As one by one 
They run off 
Into the woods 

Until… 
Out in a winter’s field 
My camera takes photos 
Of an empty winter’s field...

We're losing our beloved horse pasture out back
Progress is destroying paradise, everything's out of whack
Soon the world will be paved over
Surely no more rolling in clover
Seems like us guys are about to run off the track...

I am a giant; Piercing the clouds
Entering orbit, outsizing the sounds
I am a giant, high so high,
Everytime i begin to fly
I'm off on the run, off on the run,
An average man so close to the sun.
Am i a giant or just living a lie?
An average man, high, so high....

TIME

Where did time go, did it hide in a box?
Or did he run off and elope with sexy Goldilocks!

It's great to pen, even beyond silliness.
Then you can giggle and do dance of poetic happiness.

On a road trip to Des Moines he bought a sidecar with wheels.
Filled it with cheese and peanut butter, mice favorite meals.
The mice had a heyday, jumping aboard, eating their fill, having fun.
Too fat to run off, they sat there, while he ate gobbled them up one by one....

prancing dancing pudd’n and pie
boys run off, I’ll tell you why
fear of failure to even try
there goes one now, my cousin Cy

He is terrified of Patty McBly
Her beauty is known to make boys cry
I watch him run and yell “run faster Cy!”
When he tells this tale it will be a lie....
