Short Straight As An Arrow Poems

A train runs Cape Town to Cairo.
It will be through here by and by.
The route is straight as an arrow,
It’s like riding clouds through the sky....

There once was a smooth caballero
Whose back was as straight as an arrow
The women all swoon
By the light of the moon
And love his decorated sombrero...

Saw Such A Small Sparrow

We should have seen such a small sparrow, 
Whose eyes were always sharp and narrow; 
Heart of gold, 
Have been told, 
And view of things seen straight as an arrow.

A private dick refers to a private investigator
Suggestive if your mind's a status quo violator
Quite innocent most times
Though suggestive I find
But straight as an arrow since my years in jail...

She lived in a giant sombrero.
West of the precious Rio Grande so narrow.
She certainly never did care-oh,
That others made fun of her lair-oh.

House built into an enormous sombrero,
Was laid out as straight as an arrow.
Outside was her sweet red Camaro.
She was my cute cousin, La’Dareo....

Leopard looks solidly relaxed
Reposing in the top of his tree
Using binoculars, I marvel at his beauty.
Or her beauty, there is a regal magnificence about her
I wonder if she senses she is being watched.
As she licks her paws I get a weird feeling that she does not.
But then she stops and stares straight as an arrow toward me.
I stop breathing....

My son Jacob, he follows traditions
  Religious, he has certain ambitions

    He prays to God three times a day
    I think he even knows what to say

  Straight as an arrow, and square as a box
  Jacob took a liking to bagels and lox

    Sister snitched: Jacob prays right before he eats
     ~ that I don't slip a slice of pork in his daily treat...

Sweetie the bear followed the honey smells for a mile.
When he reached it, he gave everyone a growl and a smile.
When they saw his large teeth they backed away from the barrel.
He headed toward the honeycomb, straight as an arrow.

The bees were not happy, so they tried to sting.
But his fur and skin are so thick, it was not a thing.
He squatted down and stuck in his giant paw.
The rest of us were gone now, it is all I saw....

we will all enter heaven 
some of us limping 
some of us straight as an arrow 
we will all enter heaven 
when our time comes 
God is good and compassionate 
a Father who loves us with all His might  
we will all enter paradise 
with our eyes wide open and our hearts pure 
when the light of the angel casts a shadow of gold 
over our brittle bones of old,   
we will all shoot into heaven, straight as an arrow
limping or not....
