Short Stammered Poems

When asked the difference
  'tween a goose and a gander
I stuttered and stammered ~
  'til out burst my dander...

People will read my poems next after next;
When they do always become perplexed;
Were enamored;
Still stammered,
Sending me a message which was a text.

So confident that he'd pass the test

Claimed his oral essay was the best 

He yammered and muttered

And stammered and stuttered

But half way through he puked on his desk...

Stark,
naked,
bare,
stare.

Full,
pull,
forced,
gorged.

hammered,
stammered,
grammered,
wrote.

logical,
symmetrical,
spherical,
formatted,

delivered,
couriered,
in cell,
was the death sentence....

Upon pulchritude I gandered
Alchemy materialized
Adamant sentiments mere panders
Upon pulchritude I gandered
Fervor ascended, language stammered
Imagery never once had I theorized
Upon pulchritude I gandered
Alchemy materialized...

They say I said.
But I stammered.
They quoted the spluttered,
and only said what they imagined.
Did i  say what they imagined?
Reflecting,
I meant no harm.
Think no shame on me.
And if indeed they say I said it,
or my part repels for a moment
Take this as my apology ....

I got drunk on your love
You made me
feel a little giddy
laugh
and act a little silly
I could hardly walk
and I stammered when I did talk
I fell down
stood up
and shuffled around
when I gulped your love down

And yet instead of feeling out on the town
Your love left me housebound

Because all I feel now 
                 is the hangover......

A man from Nebraska, called Wayne,
Found speaking in public a strain.
He stammered and stuttered,
The audience muttered;
'A pain? You can say that again!' *

First gaze upon your face
Heart slowed down its pace
Jumped a little in amaze
Mind left in a daze

Studying paused
Then our eyes tossed
Prompting the heart to beat more
For a rose it can adore

Courage was gathered
Never a word to be stammered
When greeting you first in lifetime
Alas, you left amidst my plan line

Another day
Neither to delay
Nor only a wish to pass in vain
To see you again...

At work when I was through cleaning
I grabbed two empty jugs I dropped 
When I saw three women talking,
I came up behind them and stopped

I said, "Just look at those big jugs"
They turned around when they heard that
I held up the jugs with a smile
In unison they said, "Oh, Pat!"

I turned and bumped into the boss
He asked me, "What did you just say?"
"Oh, uh, nothing", I just stammered
As I left, giggles faded away!...
