Short Squished Poems

Wham bam slam splat
That gnat, flat lies --
Death's stat; squished prize...

MY TOM CAT TOM

My Tom Cat Tom
Now sings the 33rd Psalm
For although curiosity kills the cat
T’was the Fed-Ex truck that squished Tom flat...

When Moses parted the waters
The mud squished up to his garters
So a crocodile said,
"If you'd rather be dead
Then guess where I'll chomp for starters!"...

A lad who could take what was dished
Found a girl who did as she wished 
So when she sat down
To take off her gown
All of his hopes and dreams were squished....

If
Everything with a face
Had a soul

Imagine
That squished ballerina
Peeking through the key hole

How about that just sat on our cat
She screeched bloody murder, so sorry bout that
Love this dear sweetie
Made me all weepy
With my hulking big body, I squished our cat flat...

It's easy to lose your bearings in the Bering Sea
Or your yo-yo in Tokyo get what I mean
How about this
Being squished by a fish
The fish needs to apologize, that's totally obscene...

Squished and Squashed

Maybe my brain has been washed
Thoughts were squished and squashed
Pouring out from an unsmarted brain
Vanishing into space on a fast train
To think, our whole country he trashed.

Now I realize,
All the sorrowful looks
The joyful ones as well,
Each squished embrace,
A little tougher,
Emerged from the greater abyss,
Rather than any expressions.

Two magpies were devouring the remains of Elsie's cat
which was as flat as uncle Charlie's welcome mat.
It wasn't always so; once, he was a jolly ginger rotund fellow.
Now, alas, poor Bobby is a giant squished marshmallow....

Unzipping an overripe banana,
fingers squished into redolent shush,
black skin dripping off the soft stem.

I might have to eat this with a spoon,
a banana is a berry,
I think of this
as I wipe sticky lips,
and taste that time-sweetened wine....

Trapped like a mouse!
Squished like a bug!
Stuck like glue.  Eeeew!
Scared stiff like a deer caught in the head lights!
Shaking like a leaf.
Sick as a dog.
Dumb as a doorknob.
Blind as a bat.
Mad as hell!

One thing I'm not lately is,
sleeping like a baby!...

~ Savage Social Commentary
      Masquerading as Wide-eyed
           Innocent Limerick ~  


To think in Italian's 'com-pu-ta-re'
Which rhymes, I guess, with 'to fly' - 'vo-la-re'
  Compute the cost of thinking
  You'll end up all night blinking
At Pacman on extinct-squished Ataris...

`
A wish for a fish on a dish would be bliss
Though this bliss could be missed in a wishing dish fish
For a fish might go squish undercooked on a dish
So this wishing fish squished on a dish isn’t missed

What drink would you offer to your love?
Plucked fluffy clouds from the sky above?
Ground loyalty stirred with affection?
Nectar cut with a life time's dedication?

To my love I know what I'd like to serve,
Nothing less than a true soul mate deserves,
The rarest drink should you search high or low,
A freshly "picked and squished", juicy, rainbow....

Rocky squirrel flew through the air
Safely landing precisely where
He wished.

Caught glimpse as Shirley squirrel
(Herself in front of car did hurl)
Was nearly squished.

Rocky had warned Shirley before
Admonition Shirley chose to ignore-
Cars can smite

Such events reveal it's not merely heuristic
Fatalities by car is greater statistic
Than fatalities by flight...

A toad
On a road
Squashed
The ford squished the toad
Gods wheels made the devil implode
Dreams seeping into the sun
Travelers
No idea the death they created
The toad
Now was rotting on the road
Death saved humanity
The toad was a loathsome load
Of vile spittle
Of spiteful dribble
Tribble and vitriol
The toad was a seeker
He found his destiny
As road kill
Gods will...

I gaze a stalky single-helix cradle,
Squished so in seemingly hydrous blue cover,
Attracts square substantial planes in a bundle.

I embrace now feather's mass helve to ladle
Psychic portraits siphon to it in wander.
My fist fiddles as it scribbles on oodles.

Cuts of a suckling tree, soil, river fondle
Paper, pen, poet in cahoots as lovers
Rupture of a skeptic smug gnostic noodle...

Miss Five whimpered as she walked from the house,

        Her feet hurt and caused her to grouse.

                  She made many stops

\                 and not a few small hops

       When boots came off - culprit was found - squished mouse!

nb.  Gumble boots was my name for my gumboots at age 5.  That day they
were Grumble boots....

If I was a fly on the wall
No matter how big or small
I’d know the news of the day
Before it gets buried away
I’d have the facts at hand
Before they get out of hand
I’d know just what to do
And tell the truth to all you
But the truth of the matter
Is that I’d likely be splatter
Because even the fly on the wall
Cannot be allowed to fly or crawl
And that’s where the truth is today
Squished like fly guts to our dismay...
