Short Shearer Poems

Clyde was shocked when he looked in the mirror

   His plight he noted clearer and clearer

      He was growing balder

         Like a leafless alder

            He would have no more need for a shearer

Haunting Trump Taunting

Haunting Trump Taunting
And over our heads vaunting
Appearance daunting.

Bad news am shearer
And again the sad bearer
Trump holy terror.

Party inviting
A President presiding
He should be hiding.

Always occurring
Politics and posturing
Some things still stirring.

Easy ways for me to lose fat
Without the ease, it seems to me
Is the base for me falling flat
Laying bare my hypocrisy 

Big as a barn in my mirror
My spun yarn is with disregard 
A yard too thick for a Shearer
When I say that it's just too hard!

I used to be a dreamer
until I fell for a dream crusher 

I used to be very optimistic
until I met  miss negative 

I used to have beautiful wings
until I ran into a shearer 

I used to be a lovely garden
until someone planted weeds


I used to see vibrant colors
until I came across mr.dull


Beware of such folk.
They bring destruction,
everywhere they go.

It’s wool cried Fred; don’t you know?
My coat is wool? who made it so?
You grew it like you grew your head said Fred
And the shearer comes, it’s Mr. Red 
He’ll put your wool coat in a bag
And then you’ll look ugly like a hag
They wash it and then dry the wool
And make yarn like spaghetti on a spool
Yes, they’ll make sweaters, scarves and hats
And maybe make a jacket and a mat for cats
It’s nice and cool when your wool is gone
It feels like spring when summer’s on...
