Short Spittoon Poems

Off Rangoon a typhoon my balloon 
it has strewn.  Unfortun-ately, soon 
this spittoon, this mad drain; 
becomes a hurricane 
then spits me out, a prune, off Cancun....

I never knew that most monkeys will swoon
To eat bananas in a real saloon --
  They'll snarf down bunches
  After monster lunches --
Then vomit up the peels in the spittoon...

Is there a reason why all ballplayers spit
Can they get to the majors, if a spittoon they can't hit
Twenty paces while chawing
On tobaccy, while jawing
At the ump, methinks its likely tradition, I submit...

       A crack in the pavement
          Does it portend
       a death in the family
          an untimely end  

       Is it an opening
          for widow’s weeds 
       or just a spittoon
          for sunflower seeds

Limerick : Once a tight Tycoon fell in a swoon

Once a tight Tycoon fell in a swoon
Having slapped a Goon during typhoon
Both his hands got twisted
Behind his back instead
Since Goon spits into Tycoon’s spittoon.

Night bristling
Eerie breezes whistling
Frothy fog swirls its bleary balloon

Enchanting moon over palling parade doth swoon
Each, twinkling star spews vice from bewitching spittoon

Animated shadows minds vexing
Stealthy sprights hearts hexing
Night texting...

Cerise took a bite of the cherry

ground her teeth on the pip

a kernel of truth searching salvation

conditioned to drivel and drool

Salvador handed her a spittoon

to release the rest of the lies

Sloppy Santa spent his Christmas jolly 
Until in folly he sat on holly
Yet Old Saint Nick laughed like a loon.
Bright eyes twinkling, his cap did doff
Watching a rich eggnog run off
With his dear sweet hot cross bun, soon
To a damp honeymoon spittoon.
Santa saw it, please do not scoff.

Listen to poem:

*Image of Ten Gallon Stetson by IBA.

A Hat Full

A cowboy with a ten-gallon hat,
Seen a spittoon and gave it a spat,
A girl screamed, "That's my vase!",
She then frowned in his face,
And stepped on his hat and made it flat.

Steely, stealthy moon
Sculpted milky dune
Sparkling silver spoon
Sitting in its cosmic shoon
Free-floating gaseous balloon
Diviner of the celestial room
Crevasse holds fabled man in spittoon
Residual sunlight doth carefully prune
To sailors on the high seas a boon
Beacon for nocturnal creatures to croon
Harbinger to vixen, villain, buffoon
Cover for miscreant, spinster and poltroon...

A crab sidewinds
The windowsill
With the Earth
In his hands,
Whilst a mouse
With a red breast
Smiles and gives a wink
To the lizard in the lounge.

Mars is using
The rotary 
On 16 and 17
For spittoon practice,
Whilst the Defence
Refuses to move 
Her boat from duty
At the pelican on Pall Mall.

Each thought is
Thinking another,
With the wisdom
Of a penguin crossing
The road at a 
Zebra crossing;
That be some,
But not a lot!...
