Tammy Poems

Tammy and her Mother

Tammy put yellow daisies in her auburn hair.
They did not make her feel joyful.
She wore a pretty sparkly dress.
Her mouth continued to curve down.

You have to change your attitude said her mother.
But Tammy was accustomed to feeling inferior and angry.
Her costume could have uplifted other girls.
But not one who had lived with her mother.

Tammy Sue


  The blue twin headed elephants you knew,
  Met them in a bar,
  One night,
  In a fight.
  Neither one of which,
  Knew what to do.
  Tammy was a pacifist.
  Sue loved a good fight.
  Each had to go home,
  With the other at night.

Thank You Tammy

A quick note to thank Tammy Bower for interviewing me on her show. Although I was nervous she made it fun. I also enjoyed her interview with Andrea Dietrich on an earlier episode. I included a link to the interview for anyone who would be interested in watching the interview.

Iamb Beak Peck Tammy Eater

Every friggin day
mother hen runs amuck,
while all chicken's
beady eyes appear awestruck
drawing particular
agitation, irritation, perturbation...

of Punxsutawney (Doctor) Phil
(well grounded) woodchuck,
the latter glaring at henpecked
yours truly rifled
tail feathered rooster,
whether communicating 

nonverbal sympathy
towards me, a garden variety
Gallus gallus domesticus  dumbstruck,
who doth make feeble attempt
albeit without explaining
rhyme or reason

poetic, plaintive, pathetic... cluck,
regarding doomed pyrrhic victory
against incessant cackling
more fowl

My Friend Tammy

My friend Tammy has a merry smile
Fun, big-hearted, colorful style
We always sit and chat awhile
Her laughter can echo for miles

We're enthusiastic football fans
For our favorite team we'll take a stand
Over coffee-and, we'll share our plans
For dinner, family, pots and pans

So please excuse this silly rhyme
I just wanted to take the time
To give a shout-out to

Tony Blair the Tammy Wynette of British Politics

Sometimes it's hard to be a Prime Minister 
Giving all your love to just one man (George Bush)
You'll have bad times, and he'll have good times
Doin' things that you don't understand
But if you love him, you'll forgive him
Even though he's hard to understand
And if you love him, oh be proud of him
'Cause after all he's

Tammy

I miss you so much
that words cannot say.
I carry your memory, your love
with me each and every day.
I miss your happy face
in every situation, always.
I'm sitting in your favorite place
with the fire ablaze. 
I'm glad your not in pain.

I miss you so much
that sometimes i cry.
I was lucky to have someone
like you in my life.
You

Tammy Goes To the Dogs

Tammy owns a lot of dogs, she has fourteen.
She has more dogs than anybody I've ever seen.
She has Miniature Pinschers, Chihuahuas and Pit Bulls.
She also recently acquired two Jack Russells.

Tammy had a Jack Russell named Rosie that she lost last year.
Rosie died or was stolen, what happened isn't exactly clear.
There is one thing that's easy

Tammy

Tammy Carper is the best friend that I've ever had.
She takes care of me and that makes me glad.
She's nice to everybody who she meets.
Everybody loves her because she's sweet.

She took care of my pets while I was hospitalized and that was kind.
Just having her for a best friend, gives me peace of mind.

Tammy Faye

This is my tribute to Tammy Faye,
a woman so strong in every way.

Her faith is her foundation, that stable ground,
that gives her strength, and never lets her down.

Her walk with Christ, each day she profess,
and just like Him, society put her to the test.

Such love she shows through tear filled eyes,
and never gives in, to

Ode To Tammy Faye

Her name is Tammy Faye

She was once married to Jim.

They built a successful ministry

Till trusted friends did them in.


They spread the word, of the Lord

They ministered to those in need.

They lifted the spirts of millions

They spread the gospel seed.


Her personality, vivacious

Her talent sings to your heart.

Her style, somewhat audacious

That's what sets her apart.


My God have
