Short Sounds Great Poems

For this new
year's debut,
we turn to
next in queue,
twenty-two.

A blank slate
sure sounds great,
I can't wait
to ice skate
and lose weight.

Robert Petit,

sounds great mate,
used 2 be a bouncer once,
but that was back awhile,
wake up with some tartly tart,
to escape with half a  smile.

Poe was  he the raven guy,
 with the bust of pallas, 
who nevermore was unsure,
struck oil down there in Dallas ....

yes im being infantile?

It's that time of year once more.
Let the headache begin.
It's Tax Time 
A 4 here and a7 there can drive a person incense 
yes you can claim this or no you can't.
Everybody hurrying to do it.
File E or by paper, do you want it now or later.
600 maybe or 8713 sounds great to me.
Oh no here comes the irs. 
They Took it all D** it is tax time....

Night falls thoughts come alive
Dancing through my brain like sparks of energy
Nostalgia creeps in
An escape sounds great right now
An adventure maybe?
New city? New friends? New life?
Reality seeps in
Do i have it in me?
Such a big change
Wish i didn't overanalyze 
So frustrated with my mind
Seriously distrubed by my thoughts
Please stop the insanity...

Your singing sounds awfully sweet
when I hear Donovan's composition "Sunny Goodge Street".
"Send In The Clowns" also sounds great,
along with "Suzanne"; they are both first rate.
Your greatest hit that made number one
was "Both Sides Now".  It can't be outdone.
All your great songs I continue to play.
I'm so glad you're still around today.

Doctor Love's Diner.
We have everything, even
Chicken and waffles.

We have included
Games and live entertainment.

Our wonderful staff
Will make you feel right at home;
Service with a smile.

We do cater for
Birthday parties, weddings, and
Graduations, too.

Why don't you drop by?
There's fun for everyone at

Sammy asked grandpa what he could do for fun
I take naps and dream, and it is marvelous!
Dreaming sounds boring, Sammy said.
I will tell you some stories about my childhood
That sounds great!
They ate a large lunch of roast beef,
Mashed potatoes, scalloped corn, carrots and peas
Pecan and cherry pie.
Soon they were both snoring away,
Having marvelous dreams
Maybe naps were not so boring....

Sugar and honey
both taste sweet to me.
In a melody
from a past decade,
that made the Hit Parade,
three sisters sounded sublime.
They had honey in the morning,
and also in the evening;
not to mention suppertime.
They asked me to be their honey
and love them all the time.
I swore by the stars above,
that I would always be their love.
The song still sounds great to me.

As my head sinks into the pillow
I toy with idea of a gigolo
As that thought gives way to another
to much cost ,to much bother
Speed dating or blind sounds great
If i don't find love i might get a mate
Single with options open
whatever i do it's got to be fun
nothing to serious or deep
my independence i want to keep
As i drift off into a heavenly dream
I've got a smile like the cat with the cream....

Let’s do the orangutan dance, she suggested.
Several of them took off, wiggling and jiggling.
Sounds great! I agreed, trying to get in the middle of them.
They kept squeezing me out though.

“Come here,” said the instructor. “I will show you again.”
The director of the movie yelled “Take 94, get rid of that one!”
Rude I know, but this was my ninety-fourth try.
The orangutans always out-classed and out-danced me....
