Short Toddled Poems

Once knew this old man named Gus
For some reason the girlies made a fuss
As he toddled along
Singing off-colour songs
Much too off-colour for us to discuss...

Within each intricacy
And delicacy
This shell's, this snow crystal's
This web's, as lovely

His thought process; first worked through;
Traced back now by you.
Playful child's, for a creator!
Toddled once Earth too!...

my life, could i chew it out.
so i can forget the cuds of the ghostly,
the deadly and happy,
dome and my home, dad pray i roam,
the inexhaustible labels of it fall,
my name plastered on the wall, think i but none
many took me fun, in my toddled ninny,
all i do is forget the transverse to my God i canvass....

Beautiful
well-defined calves 
that meet with
curvaceous thighs; 
no stunning 
crown of glory -
but a solid foundation!

From the time
I first stood up
and toddled
at seven months -
till today -
unfailingly
they’ve carried me down life’s path.

I clapped eyes on some jimjams
at me local Marks and Sparks,
but strapped for readies,
I couldn't buy them
and had to treat it as a lark.

It was a shame,
for they were prezzies.
(I do like Marks and Sparks...)
I looked around at bits and bobs,
then toddled to the park.

Where are you going? I wondered as they toddled by.
They were dressed in hippie costumes, and I wondered why.
They are heading to nineteen seventy, another said.
I loved this and kept it alive all day in my head.

If I was heading to the seventies, I would need a vee double you.
It would have to be sassy and girly, pink ought to do.
I would take my two besties and we would head toward the beach.
We would be playful and virginal, and stay out of everyone’s reach....
