Short Samaritan Poems

In the parking lot
My mind was lost in a dream.
I stumbled and fell.
A stranger stopped and helped me.
I never saw him again....

Poet Sir John Harrington
He tried to be a good Samaritan
He invented the water closet loo
To be able to stay indoors to poo

Happy birthday, dear Emy Ann, 
People heard Christ's admonition; 
What the Samaritan woman 
Did was a show of compassion.

Our loving sportsman, Sen. Pacman
Never missed a chance of being a samaritan
His humility and hard work earned him great reputation
And yet his whole body endured more refutation....

The Samaritan,
A maniac to the blind;
A saint in God’s eye

Maniac McGee,
A fool to peers and others;
God’s Samaritan

Born to be crazy…
Love’s allegorical boy:
Maniac Mcgee…...

Jesus Always Said What He Meant

Jesus always said what he had meant;
Children should never live in a hot tent;
Samaritan good,
Be always should,
And away from mother not ever be sent.

I swear to do good deeds
I proclaim to help the poor and needy
Please not while I am eating
Leave me the hell alone
You degenerate bum
My wine, my wine
Mon Dieu
Is cold n'est pas?
Garcon, my jacket!

Wheels spinning to charity...

Three innocent children by cancer stricken
touch a  Samaritan who then offers to help.
But a dark-hearted joker comes charging in, 
ranting the gesture is a result of liberal guilt.
Oh boy, what has this crazy world turned into?
even good intentions are second-guessed!...

MY SAMARITAN - INK

“He’s drunk”. They passed by on the other side.
But I was ill and might not have survived.
She stayed until the ambulance arrived.
My Good Samaritan; I could have died.

He Had Been A Humanitarian

Had been a natural born humanitarian;
Never ate meat and was a vegetarian;
What a wonder;
Spell are under;
A great and gorgeous good Samaritan.

A guy was drunk in a bar
I offered to drive him home
He fell 5 times in the parking lot
So I couldn't leave him alone.

I got him home and he fell 4 more times
before we got to his stair
I said to his wife "Here's your husband"
She said "Yeah, but where is his wheelchair?"...

Love is unselfish; love seeks to do the Father's will 
There's no boasting in love, it has secret identity
Love is the Good Samaritan paying a stranger's bill.
Jesus Christ is Love; He forgave even His enemy.

An alm-timed good deed
got evilly rewarded
The saintly gesture, labor of love
was given a
perfidious payment

Death by dissimulation
uttered a bullet cry
Good Samaritan intentions
was given a
hot metal, cold evil eye

A warm welcoming, kind-hearted try
was given a
glowing halo goodbye...

The afternoon sun greeted me with a warm embrace.
The rays from this bright star,
They can’t deny me in this dreadful place.
A Good Samaritan came to brighten my day.
Not even this oppressive confinement,
Could keep my happiness away,
Because I’m content just to be me,
Even if I have to dance to the devil’s melody....

Ten went off.
 He sent them.
 And one came back.
"None but this Samaritan?"
 Keep your faith.
 Salvation is yours.
 God is always
 In our lives.
"Verily,
 I say to you.
 Not a sparrow falls that
 God does not know about."

 Do we say: Thank You?"
 Always say: " Thank You, Lord."
 Yea, give thanks and praise....

You all came in from the cold shivering
all dressed in red which is bewildering
you'd stay and hover
cause some clutter
but at least you all stopped quivering

Again found you at my kitchen sink
I thought perhaps you all wanted a drink
so I ran the tap water
not thinking it was slaughter
oh ladybugs the way you died just stinks!

Gallstones as big as pizza pies,
Indigestion led to surprise,
Surgeon smiled like Mona Lisa,
Did you eat that much pizza?
Fair, fat and forty,
Fatbuckles, you were naughty!
 Bells did ring, ting-a-ling,
Samaritan love did bring,
Pizza still tempts, grey sighs,
Prime time love, spark flies,
Is this a silly stage?  I say
"Looks like it!" Well, ole!...

Three Wishes

Three wishes I will grant you,
Three wishes and no more,
No wealth nor riches can I offer,
Choose wisely I implore.

Perhaps the gift of wisdom,
Like Solomon or Balthazar,
The offering of kindness,
A Samaritan or Angel afar.

Precious talents of a musician,
Master of canvas, paint and brush.
Take time this is your chance,
I will wait patiently, no hurry, no rush....

Mirror, my friend, I ask, if you please.
"Am I kind?  generous?  one who meets needs?"
Why ask?  A stranger's hospitable deeds 
are worth far more than empty vanities.

The pregnant dream vs the naked existence.
The healthy belligerent vs sanguine invalid. 
The buoyant child vs the cavillous pensioner.
The all-giving African vs the all-recieving European.
The befriended neighbour vs the ostracized man.
The kaleidoscopic optimist vs bleak pessimist.
The raw truth vs the falsified lie.
The low-key good Samaritan vs the ostentatious donator.
The good vs the bad....

Keep technology
but bring back the old values
of those former years-
when love of God and country,
respect, pride, and honor ruled.

Bring back old values
of family, friends, church, school,
solid like they were-
with new tech and old values,
we'd have the best of both worlds.

The mailman frowned at the black snarling cat
He picked up his sack and smacked the air with a bat
But my baby is in there! The mama cat said.
The next time he swatted, he almost hit her head.

A good Samaritan dog had seen what was what.
He ran out and helped the mother, his name was McFutt.
You are such a good guy! She said. I am Mrs. McNally.,
Then she told all the other cats to leave him alone in the alley....

All alone she sat on the walkway
As passers by cast furtive glance her way
And briskly look the other way
Bringing no succour her way
She sat there any way
Staring into space with a look so faraway 
Waiting in vain all day
For  a good Samaritan to come her way
Has humanity no more empathy to display?
Love should look around without delay
To see her need and say 
Come into my abode and stay
For you are my sister in every way...
