There was a man named Peter
Who couldn't write a love letter.
      He watched a movie
      For a prompt shorty.
He ended up being a jester.

traffic back ups
sweaty country boys
bare skinned
cowboy hat wearing farm boys
wild country girls
wearing shorty shorts
swimsuits tops and flip flops
who worry about melting make up
 in the blazing July sun...

Call me shorty,
I have to look up
because everyone is taller
except for children who are smaller.

Call me shorty,
I might not be a giraffe,
being petite means not bending, 
walking straight and not overextending....

Adjustments made to do the best, I cannot do no more,
you don't know what nobody can, when love becomes a war.
Imagine that, just click your heels, I can't keep going on,
the hardest part is waking up, and finding you are gone....

i keep secrets from her
'cuz she cannot understand
what it's like to be me
everything is perfect in her world
so i spare her my crazy world's crap
that includes my gangster poetry
lest i loose her for good
my innocent shorty...

Hair on legs isn't really that weird 
One fine morning something had appeared 
One leg said to the other 
"Look at our little brother...
I think, Shorty...is growing a beard"

Your arm is Soft like sponge pillow, 

Heavy is the head that rests on;

 Soft but strong, made me embrace loner.

 Serene voice is all you got, deary! 

Your oxygen the fairy has breathe,gem!

 This being none have seen; pretty shorty. 

How I wish this was not...pseudo....

He was feeling quite dapper at forty,

and the folks all around thought him sporty.

But to his dismay;

he heard his date say,

“Will you look at that thing, it’s a shorty.”

Sublime
Mystical
Magical
Glistening
Fantasylike glow
Melted on every surface
Lit up celebration
Lovestruck
A night to remember
Ending in
Fireworks

My very own Lil me,
You are indeed my Shorty.

Growing up so quick and fast,
Your childhood days didn’t last.

What you are becoming,
Is only baffling and cunning.

A child from my very soul,
My daughter’s growing old.

I love you Angela, Lil me
You fill my world so beautifully....

My Last Shorty of the Day

Which you should delight in

I hope so here goes:



Now how was I supposed to make my eyes twinkle

Every time I would try to count each and ever wrinkle

Which on her whole body had been solemnly exhibited

And to think I could not touch and was strictly prohibited....

Big Bennie Davis and Joe Nally are walking down  to the pub 
 Joe's about five four and wiry.
A car pulls to the curb . The driver calls out
Hey Shorty. How do we get to Ellis street?
Nally" How did you know my name was Shorty?
Driver "I guessed"
Nally " Well guess where Ellis street is"
They went into the pub....

Gordon's gin
is not Scottish
but British
Canadian whisky
is better than nothing,
if all you have is nothing.

The name 'Gordon'
means -
'Large fort, big hill'.

This has drove many a Gordon
to drink, and dark poetry.

Pink Gin is for slim men
who brunch until lunch.

The Scots like to sword dance
in their shorty kilts
that's what too much whisky
can make you do....

I have angels on earth
And there's no amount of money they're worth.
I can only begin to tell what they mean to me
But in my heart I'm grateful as I can possibly be.
They're so much more than just a friend
The love they give is no pretend
It's forever lasting, and has no end.
And for all that you do
From my heart here's a sincere thank you.
Mom Judy,and Shorty I love you more than words can say
And I'm truly thankful Jesus sent you my way....

I don’t have a favourite,
I love them all
Shorty and sporty
Petite and tall

Dowdy and flashy
High and mighty
Shy and vivacious
Safe and flighty 

I love Juicy Lucy
Smelly Kelly,
Scraggy Maggie
And Silly Millie

I love Gay Mei
And Straight Kate
Spotty Dotty
And Plain Jane’s great

So is Jolly Molly
Clingy thingy
Obese Louise
And Skinny Ginny 

I love Boozey Suzie
Sweaty Betty and all 
I love them long,
I love them short, I love them tall...

Drowning in thoughts
Provoked by every emotion
You caused in me
Was like attempting
To swim in the ocean 
When you don't know how.

The insecurity and fear
Would crash over head 
Like a wave 
Trying to push me down
Then the love and happiness 
Would give air 
To my watered lungs
Just as doubt would hit
Like a cramp causing 
Me to sink a little further 
And finally bliss
So shorty lived
As the image of you 
You're smile 
Your kiss 
Filling my shaking bones
With warmth....
