Tails Poems - Poems about Tails

Tails

They asked the fox about his witness. 
He pointed to his tail. 
They asked the dog about his witness. 
He pointed to the baboon.
They asked the gorilla about his witness. 
He pointed to his rear end.
Tail is tail.


* Six lines poem that has three micro stories; the seventh line is so short conclusion.

Heads Or Tails

Only
a coin toss
standing 
between them
Fame 
the divider
with fans
to embrace
Caught
in the essence
as twins
symbiotic
One 
in the limelight
the other
— ungraced

The Etiquette of Prehensile Tails

If medicine gives us a tail,
The proper should not let it flail.
It should be coiled tight,
Though tea-holding's right,
Or holding the rudder to sail.

Mini-Couplet Couplet:The Tails of Two Kitties

_____________________________________________________________
My two neighbors' homes view my full yard in the back. 
The younger man has a dog and the elder man has a cat.

They knew all ought to be,  || Dog was first, ok'd an elder,
for their two pets run free.  || fence goes up, bars viewer.

Now he has two on this day||We

Of Tails and Tales

   A cat wants to play
     a bird flies away
   A dog fetches a bone
     a pigeon returns home

   A child too will play
     before he goes away
   To get out there on his own

For fluffy tails may tempt a wily minx

When’ e’er I look upon the squirrel’s plight
I think, perhaps, he should be given flight
So he could join the mob in warmer climes

But then a raged furry coat and tail
In Florida could land a squirrel in jail
For stealing ice to cool Corona limes

For fluffy tails may tempt a wily minx
To ask the grayish snow bird

A TALE OF TWO TAILS

Two brothers
Born from different Earths
One was powerful and fluid
The other, fluid, gave births

The first was given command
To fill the Earth with seed
The second, to work the land
Til fruit revealed all need

Both came to self
And developed a plan
To take the throne
From the one in command

They built different kingdoms
In sky and on land
But then they joined with

Tails Up

Commercial season in its full swing
boats afloat dot foggy harbor scene
	we're off like a prom dress
	let's catch a mega-mess
barbs a'flyin', some even obscene

Wish 'em up! Catch 'em up! Bend the rod!
tease with the herring, but not the cod.
	weekend revolution
	curse the thoughtless googans
less than seventy-three inch outlawed

find the school of herring, find the whale
there we'll drop

Sappy Tails Story Poem

Betsy, the sweet girl, was such a beauty
Never slack on milk, she did her duty
Pouring out her supply, like a fountain
Feeding on the rye across the mountain

She raised sweet, soft eyes to prove her gentle
Always so much love wasn’t accidental
With a soul, good and warm, she’s so friendly
Yet, her master told her she’s too spindly

Despite

My Two Wagging Tails

I love you when your quiet 
I love you like this 
Chilled and laid back 
Peace at long last 

I love you when your playing
I love you wrestling too
Pulling on a sock 
A tug of war is cool 

Archies giggling and the snorting
You'd think he was  a horse 
Snorting and sniffing at the cat

Heads Or Tails

heads
                   wise, functional 
             bobbing, talking, turning
leaderships, guides, appendages, backside
          wiggling, protruding, tugging 
  

Animals Clean Dishes With Their Tails

Left with the dishes the animals used their tails.
They used their scratchy tongues and they used their nails.
Which would be okay if some had not had rabies.
The hen had chicken pox and the fox had scabies.

They were irritated that the washing landed on them.
So, they did the worst job, I heard from Uncle Clem.
They never

Turkey Tails

Living on a little farm
In the Western NC Mountains
Means experiencing the cock-a-doodle-doo
The Moo-Moo-Moo, the meow and woof
And finally, the gobble-gobble

Each one of our barnyard residents
Find it necessary to procreate and we
Find that to be just fine, you must see
Farm life means breeding these beasts
These species who we believe will become
The very heart of the life

Red Tails At End of Day

Just off the busy road there’s a dirt lane
that leads to a weather-worn covered bridge
where Red Tails gather at eventide.

In the sunlight the birds flicker on hot winds,
rest and watch on pylons and poles,
then rise to hover
over berms and hedgerows along the highway
driving small birds and field mice
into the shelter of scrub and thicket.

At days

The Devil Is In Their Marxist End-Tails

“Off with their heads!” the king
said; like so, the Woke has spoke – 
their sights on the hearts and
souls of children, all parents
in the way they will smoke – 

The devil has new partners now,
with the Teachers' Union sharing
a toke – high as kites, on Evil's
flights – swarms of locust, armies
of roaches – are blessings
