Short Unsightly Poems

When we called God unsightly;
Had been yelled at by Almighty;
Perfect excuse;
Weight lose,
And never ever take Him lightly.

November sidewalks unsightly grow
   Leaves mingling, sloppy with slush and snow
Where dandelions bloomed between cement cracks
   Now pray bugs that warmth come back...

WHy  do children 
 become  unsightly ...?
 maybe they should stay only
 mature as happens with
 the fruits...not "immature"
 equal to adults
 as it happens in life......

There once was a bold prig named Wiener
who had an unsightly demeanor
he took pics of his crotch
after two shots of scotch  
"Where's his wife? Well nobodies seen her."...

At this very late night, 
Breaking sleep suddenly,
When someone sees 
An image in front, 
How can you term it-
An unsightly ghost to fear
Or the dearest guest to wait?...

A fire in my soul is still burning brightly
After all these years the fire rages nightly
My dreams are filled
Also thoughts unfulfilled
Such is how life goes at times unsightly...

Vanished glitter, evaporated beauty and shape
Faces that the fabric of wrinkles of agony drape

Tormented and anguished soul in the body’s unsightly prison 
  Without the succor of death is there an escape?...

Cola, orange soda
Root beer, ginger ale
Spaghetti, lasagna
Fruits, oatmeal
Turkey and rice
Sour cream and onion dip
Kiwi and apple slice
Corn or potato chips
I become unsightly
When I am hungry

In the morning, the sun shined brightly
The sky turned suddenly dark by midday
While the weatherman’s map was unsightly,
By late afternoon the clouds had gone away
The evening sun appeared again underway.

To Himself Thought

To himself thought he was mighty,
But then really had been unsightly
Only a very few could he please
Did look like he had some disease
Stared at himself daily and nightly.

Can you believe that?

Relief from Trump

What we need is some relief
After suffering through Trump's grief
Even though appearing unsightly
Thinks he is God almighty
Non-supporters with him have a beef.

Unmanly; unsightly; unskilled
Unsociable; unsophisticated
Jerk; unruly
And hurt and bruised
Unmanly; unsound
But, unselfish in unseasonable weather
Of warmth, sky clear
Unmistakably; unlikely 
Too be unusually calm
In a untouchable manor
And then-unmanly; unruly; jerk....

Pleased to meet you,
sorry I am late,
I had to take a moment
to check for goo,
and other biological residue.
To scan for
the unsightly stains
of pornographic links,
but it seems
I look the same as ever,
reasonably turned out
for an unadulterated monster
of a human being....

the world just ended today
no more income tax to pay
no more unsightly social ills
we just skipped out on our bills
we finally got those terrorists
hiding in the murky mists
we showed our science is really tops
we proved our popcorn really pops 
we wiped out the Australians
and impressed those little gray aliens...

The cat drug me in from who knows where. 

 I look like a ball of knotted hair. 

 You compliment, and then stop to stare 

 at who? What? Here? There? 

 Is see maidens around much more fair. 

 Your taste in beauty is au contraire. 

 You must like the unsightly, the rare. 

 Thank you for your sympathy and care....

This is a true story about our puppy Spikie who lives with
us and is our mascot on our farm...........


There once was a puppy named Spikie

His wishes were some what unlikely

He wanted to Guard

But left in the yard

At Five inches his height was unsightly

Bonnie Jean destroyed someone's hair
On a dare, yes, on a dare.
She was arrested, which I felt was fair.
There was hatred in the air.
She meant to do it, that was plain.
The woman with the bald head will never be the same.
Fry her, I yell as loud as I cry. Tie her to a tree, starve Bonnie Jean!
I am all about vengeance, for my hair is too unsightly to be seen....

I ask, "Am I so unsightly?"
From where I sit I see
Surrounded by this nightly
On the verge of misery
And closer still are those
Who say I am, not beautiful
But neither am I ghastly
To think oneself as suitable
I'm ill advised, but lastly,
Should readiness to tell me lies
To be exception to the rule?  
Who've shown, that appearance-wise
Critical reflection can be cruel....

My toenails have taken on a life of their own.
Unsightly appendages.
Not unlike an ugly claw foot table.
Two of them have grown sixteen inches.
Curling under my foot, leaving a crisp sharp tail as I walk.
One of them is holding a sign that says “Trim me”.
Another is looking for her birth mother.
Last but not least one is making fun of the other four.
It is difficult to ignore this....

Do you hear the ticking
Tocking in your head ringing 
As your time passes slowly
Close your eyes so very tightly

Does it make you cringe
A multitude in an unsightly binge
Was it what you deserved
That for you has been reserved

For to leave now before it’s finished
Means your take will be diminished 
So take it as it comes
For you it will not be undone.

At tender old age
This man doesn't have IT
The  BLADDER fell off the LADDER
While fogetting to take a -HIT

Flabby  fish wants  BAIT
But nothin' a comin'
The BELLY turning JELLY
A reality that I especially HATE

Advancing TIMER
Dreading ALZHEIMERS
The bulge is unsightly
and so is his MANNERS

Coming to TERMS
Before I get WORMS
Stay away from this geezer
Before you get my GERMS!!...

Flimsy, flouncy little nightie
Which doth cling e'er so tightly
To your wibbly, wobbly tits
And your smelly hairy bits
Keeping all just out of sight
Through the hours of the night
Covering things so unsightly
Thank god for that little nightie


[written many, many years ago & inspired by a poem called something like "Dear Flo". Which I think was either by Spike Milligan or Peter Cook/Dudley Moore]...

Day say
The night is too black
Nothing good would come of that
Sort of nada de nada es nada
Unsightly void.

They failed
Seeing
The night was empty of pollutants
From dawn of night's birth... 
History, mystery, and strength
All of earth was embraced.

They needed strength
The night was ripe with sap
Soft drops quenched earth with dew
Quietly, day found solace 
Twins Divinely given.

The night sky lightning sends a psychedelic shockwave
the wrath of the thunderstorms wake up the grave
the river cry of music sounds
but not loud enough to hear a spirit drown
the roses and their petals fall  one by one to say goodbye
only thing left is the unsightly thorns to hurt my eyes
The night  moon carries strong energies 
revealing shadows and dark forces 
but then I'm protected by pretty entities...
