Short Whittle Away Poems

Watch All Other TV Stations

Whittle away,
Night and day;
More irritation caused when Fox carved a notch.

Groovin’ on Rondelets,
I find this short form amusing and intriguing.
Groovin’ on Rondelets,

The beginning of a new day
And I have a lot to say
But there is no time to play
Unfortunately I can not stay

Only to return by the end of day
With no delay I pray
The time may whittle away
But everything will be a-okay
On this brand new day

my clipboard left
on a very messy desk
right now it doesn't matter
I'm where I need to be
on the beach, the whispering sea

Some clean shotguns long unused,
others go to bed fuming.
A few walk into the dark
following a slow burn.

In county towns,
stone asylums are erected
to contain the fires....
