Short Thermometer Poems

Proctologists need to write when 
A prescription's called for big ben 
But a doctor equipped
With thermometer quipped
An as_hole's walked off with my pen...

Need  some medical care?
 Nurses will care  for you
 Needles for injections
 Next the thermometer
 Need to check for fever
 Ninety eight point six?..good
 Now do you feel better?

Like syrup 
in a bottle neck
sticky
and slipping slowly along the side
This sorrow is
like the thick
silvery sludge in the thermometer
sliding to the boiling point
breaking through the glass in a poisonous burst...

Thermal couplets driving passionate phrases
Turning tepid thoughts to raging inferno
Raising the thermometer of infectious responses 
Dripping emotions from a sweating monologue
From fiery heart to scorched paper; delivered...

COLD

cold windy night
thermometer at zero
feels like ten below
covers pulled tight
let her blow


cold wintry night
tom cat with winter coat
wants to stay in
later with star shine
my lady love he purrs

The warning on a thermometer states
'do not use orally after using rectally'
listen, i'm not saying people are stupid,
but let them shove it and sort itself out
better said, 'do not stick where the
 sun don't shine', you imbecilic arse'!...

I hear music. It's quite blusic, whining sax's that won't betray. I hear drumming, guitar's strumming, as my body begins to sway. It's my thermometer, my musical barometer, the pulsating rhythms that begin each day. I hear music. It's quite blusic and I pray that it's here to stay...

The Thermometer shows
Heat increasing causing
Expanding liquid and
Rising numbers
Mercury
Overriding 98.6
My temp measured creating
Exasperated thinking due to my
Temperature intensifying.....forecasting
Emanate sickness leading to a
Reluctant doctor visit.

She's up early in the morning
While the children keep on sleeping 
Dreaming of homework 
And teachers that lurk   
The old alarm clock keeps ringing; 

His imaginary fever  
Makes his mom a non-believer   
Thermometer hot 
A deceitful plot 
He's a sly one, a deceiver.

Mere catch in throat, not so mere, dear
It somewhat inhibits
Though God near and bliss throbs yet spear 
Outdoor play prohibits

Thermometer in hand
We nod and understand
Such is lay of the land

Cough’s got our goat
Mere catch in throat

Remember Trump's weird physical report
from his doctor. 

A doctor have given Trump a physical;
Really awkward, weird and  whimsical


Took his temperature using a popsicle.

James Thesarious Hilarious Horn
Retired Veteran and Poet

Dedicated to Akkina.

How about using a popsicle for a rectal
thermometer....

I discovered 'obsessively Googling symptoms' is a
symptom of hypochondria.”     Stephen Colbert

LABORED BREATHING

cough is heard - a hack
that causes one to wipe brow
with thermometer
in creases of worry lines
hoping for sweat not fever

When morning breezes bring on the shivers,
and the thermometer is in the teens.
Your head stays buried under the kivers
while the farmer pulls on overall jeans.

When wafts from the kitchen wake your pleasure
with fond smells of bacon and egg victuals;
reflect on what great degree you treasure 
a busy farmer's early rituals.

The Sun’s fire rises,
raising temperatures’s smile;
A tug of war dance;

Palm tree afternoon,
humidity’s peak level;
Thermometer breaks;

Healed by a sunset,
taking you back to the ground;
Rain colors your back;

Stretched to the limit
trying to break the fever:
In the end? Chilled out;

Hot and cold flashes 
of the Dirty South....

Below zero temp'rature recording
puzzles my special child's understanding
midst his engrossment for ice
and thermometer device
checking freezer* with its coolness' reading.

'Tis A Rear Find

Absent-minded Dr. Smythe Atherten,
about to fill out my prescription when
from his shirt pocket pulled out,
"My thermometer!", did shout,
He oddly said, "Someone's rear has my pen?!"

The weather became bitter cold today
And housebound I will stay
I went out to try and start the car
It's winter's coldest day by far.

Colder than the inside of a deep freeze they say
minus fifty one the thermometer does display
I keep turning up the heat
To warm my body especially my feet

I want  the cold spell to go away
Hoping for a warmer day
So you who have the sun and heat
A hot day would be a wonderful treat....

I dreamed she died last night
That you killed her
Some boy I barely know
When she did nothing to harm the world
And solely brought happiness to my life
So, I woke up in a scorching sweat
Though the thermometer showed me
That the air was quite arctic
And at 3:30 in the morning
I wasn’t sure if I still had a sister
But there she was, four hours later
Giving me confirmation that she still walked this Earth
Oh, if I lost you, I’d lose myself...

The tropical storm moves closer
Brings wind and choppy seas
From my window it's a gray mass
But ride out the storm with me

Trapped in total isolation
All alone in my pain
Even the joy of the Seagull
Disappears with falling rain

The rain brings it own small comforts
Water to make things green
Clouds to hold sun's thermometer
Time alone to daydream

"Lotus Eater"

The love affair between fire and ice caused lava to engulf all the roses in the mountain.

Yet we need ice to extinguish the fire burning romance and fire melts the freezing hearts to loath.

Pretenders, chest thievery for self gain, cheetahs never satisfied with their God given swiftness and liars that is what chased Curbid away.

A loveless perimeter got them all burning up with love sickness, the love lorn radius rigged the thermometer........

You lick the tendons of my oxygen-
sucking away my breath bit by bit,
heartbeat by heartbeat-
I am drained like a broken thermometer,
mercury spilling onto the floor
like a small pool of ink.

There is no remedy -
hope has sailed its sinking ship
and I sit around silently
like egg-shell white paint
drying on the living room walls.

Effacing myself was never a choice
so I drifted away from you
like a blue balloon flying away
from a child's distraught hand....

Powder snow playfully dancing, watching the sky
The mercury in the thermometer shows three degrees minus
Mystery veil over bare branches
King winter has arrived, with white dreams


The pine wood atmospheric silence, with sharp wind from the north
Deep moose tracks on the trails - The king of the forest
I will never cease to amaze me over;
Where can I find "Old Man Winter" track

Give me time
My fingers are remembering the delicate choices
I borrow things from the discourse
Because I need words 
Like a thermometer
To feel what is in you deep
And then write your pain
With my own feelings
Upon paper.
For every season there is a prophet
Who understands history so well
Tomorrow is a broken spell
An egg
Without feather or bone
Or map of chemistry.
Give me time
I am making a noose out of fire
Will you come too
The fitting was yesterday
And I was absent too for it....
