Short Toddy Poems

The snow is powder
Ski to the village below
Hot Toddy : Awaits

Old Jonathan Winters
Would have you in splinters
His one-line feeder,
"Take me to your leader!"
Made you record-hoarding,
"This is a recording!"
It was like a toddy
"All over my body!"...

STILL HOPING

A palatial bath in my tomb
A luxurious pot for my doom
To still aching of body
Fill up with hot toddy
Warm up this cold girl for a groom

I know this guy named Scotty
He invited his Harem for toddy
So they all can sit and talk,
About anything, that pops up
Now they are done with their cup,
They bid farewell to Mr. Kippen
And promise to come back, hopping and skippin....

Limerick : Once a typsy Toddy-Tapper took Wench

Once a typsy Toddy-Tapper took Wench
Up coco-nut tree with monkey wrench
He pumped her full toddy
Till Wench was tight giddy
But she hung on to ? nuts with wrench.

Ahem this phlegm
In snotty body
Needs and pleads
A hotty-toddy.

Think a drink
Or pill will
Fight my plight
Kill this ill?

I might ply
With some rum
Debauch with scotch
Numb the glum.

Until that swill
Outs this bout
My poor sore
Snout will spout....

Jimmie Jim my piddling crony was a little toady
     Happened to meet a gaudy king who loved a hot toddy
                 Jimmie’s ass an ace in the hole
            Dipped in snail’s pace in the king’s bowl
     Said Jim Sire, my daddy, King of Ire, I am your bawdy...

With Rudolf lighting up the way
And Frosty at the reins
Santa took the back seat
To rest his weary brains

A platter on his tummy
Of cookies and of pie
A giant mug of toddy
A sparkle in his eye

Exhausted from the climbing
And all the ho, ho, ho
And kissing all those moms
Beneath the mistletoe...

It's nineseventeenPM.
and here I am again.
I truly need to sleep,
and rise as day doth peep.
I lie in bed thinking,
feeling very romantic. 
Turnin' and tossin
Tossin and turnin'
imagining kissing
each part of his body.
I sure need a hot toddy. 
My eyes are growing dim, 
"I have loved none but him."

Gorilla My Dreams sang me a moody torch song with these lyrics:

Why does your soul feel like a hole
Wherein a mole used to hide
Why does your heart fall all apart
It will not start deep inside.

Why won't somebody make my hot toddy
Oh lawdy lawdy, oh no
Why is it scary here on the ferry
With Curley Larry and Moe....

Flurries of snow
Dancing in the winter cold
Shimmering white flakes
Some as big as the tongue that holds

From the breath of a warm body
In a fire lit room
The streamed window panes
Reflects the light from the moon

The Hot Toddy is almost ready
The kettle is whistling from afar
A romance for one
Is as good as a falling star...

How much mucus can one head hold!
I hate this stupid winter cold.
Quite a bit, or so it seems,
cause head’s leaking more than dreams.
Every cough just wracks my body,
someone grab me a Nyquil toddy!
Throat is rawer than a country road,
voice is squeaky like smashed toad.
Good thing don’t keep a shotgun round,
cause I’d sure put me in the ground....

Razzle dazzle me with kisses 
face to face we cannot miss 
bye and bye the world erases 
two by two, we win the race 
Toddy Toddy tie the knotty  
Your a sizzlin' hottie hottie 
Pitter patter goes my heart  
With a bling bling a la carte 
Yum yum  your so tasty 
Hanky panky no not hasty
Razzle dazzle me with kisses 
face to face we cannot miss ....

     Never a Marxist
       I didn’t like Groucho
     And though I read Spanish
       forget Sancho Panza

     I was a big Lenin fan
       John, not Vlady --
     who loved a hot-toddy
       when courting a ‘la-dy’ 

     Today my likes and dislikes
       blow hot and cold
     which is likely to happen
       when your blood runs old

After a tired
labor of love day
got on the Trane
and after a few Miles
I reached Monk
later laying 
back travelling 
towards Sarah
and Nina 
and after
getting Dizzy
headed West
boarded Bird 
flying onto Art
leaving me
to ink
this poetic flow
I’m sharing with you
before my melatonin
MJQ disembark
to peacefully Cannonball 
deeply into
poetic gigging…

Ballerina envy in a rhino’s body
I toast one high, drinking up my toddy.
Others probably think I was always old like this.
I give them a wink and blow them a kiss.

They are horrified, seeing an old crone sitting here.
Having no idea that I was once young, sexy and dear.
I smack my lips and make loud sounds of the crazy.
At least when I get carted off, they can’t call me lazy....

Don is my dear daddy,                                                        Daddy loves tasty toddy,                                                     Toddy drinking is his hobby,                                                    His hobby is high greedy ,                                                 Greedy overcomes his body ,                                                 And his body becomes shady....

pluck the gentilities
got sined sensiblities
a quiet cacophony
rhythms at timing
resemblin' the melody
on repertoire
schwaaaa - aaaah 
hear the sizzle of cymbals
the soul of her body
her sippin' hot toddy
- damn that jazz!

sheets o' music flyin'
mouth harp a cryin'
chords hit the floor diein'
to move a'wrigglin' rear
RISE UP! GET DOWN!
fade to bridge - then reappear
- now that's jazzin'

Plus ou moins
I have a nasty cold
That doesn't want to go away
I am also all congested
There is a lot of flam
Coming out
From my mouth
I am trying to clear my through
Yes I already had my breakfast
Early in the morning
Raising bran, boiled eggs
And a banana
Now I am going to sleep
All day
At noon I got up
I made myself a hot toddy
Tea, lemon, and honey
And I went back to sleep
I was also sweating like crazy
Yes I am also very tired
