Short Schnook Poems

Bittersweet is the weeping ~ when loving someone not yours for keeping

Don't be a simpleton, a schnook ~ I'm not writing a history book...

First day
No way

Lost book
He took

No good
A hood

Bad thief
My beef

Loud shout
Found out

Poor schnook
A crook

In court
Have tort

No bail
In jail

Too bad
Not sad...

As well as my charm and amazing good looks
You'd think I had tentacles like an oversexed octopus
My looks tend to make
Young girlies double take
And fight for a piece of this silly old schnook...

In spite of my charm and extremely good looks
There's times when I can be quite a schnook
When the girlies turn me down
Ends up more than a frown
But still, tend to get my way by hook or by crook...

In spite of my charms and stunning good looks
I'm bad to the core and I'm a bit of a schnook
Knock down old ladies
Scare little babies
Not true, just spewing out a bunch of gobbledegook

there is beauty before your eyes
red
yellow
blue as white clouds that touches the outer skies
pain?
there is none of where I look between the fragile line
open for the first time,clear away the cobwebs dirt
which covers every crevice of this old floor of mine
the air up there
it is breezy of this I swear
close the homework ma thematic book
and take a look,you,a little child..a shying
and retiring schnook...

Who Is That Masked Man
Miracle Man
October 6, 2023

Many will see him as being another schnook,
perhaps questioning if he’s ever had a real job.
But in my mind I see an unpunished crook,
someone with possible connections to the mob.

Each day his cognizance needs clarifying,

Crook!
She stole my guidebook,
my pink Ray-Bans, my outlook
— it’s grim. The schnook
snatched my Diamonte fountain pen. She took

my attaché case filled with cash. Forsook
my manners — she’s in my grip. A sirloin meat hook
indubitably-yes or to pressure-cook.

I turned her upside-down and shook

A nearby copper brings us in after he has a look.
The judge closed the book

on me. Called me a crook…
that schnook!
