Tommy Poems - Poems about Tommy

tommy the halloween baby

Tom was a Halloween baby, so we expected him to have magical powers.
We ran off to see him in the nursery, but it was over visiting hours.
He waved his little fist and the lights overhead began to sizzle and blink.
Our godson was really something; at six hours old, he gave us a wink.

We bought him

Tommy Robinson

Is he really political.? I mean he runs no party of that ilk.'
Yet I see 'the descriptive given' woven in like silk.)
Is he being held as a terrorist.? Or charged? He pleads
Guilty of journalisam.? Yet has he been pushed into that
Yard.? Guilty he is saying ' yet should that be the case.?
Or is he just

For Tommy

In friendship's garden, where we once played,
Our words were spring flowers blooming gay.

All of grammar and logic at our beck and call,
In the linguistic realm, we controlled it all.

Sadly, your heart is now but a brilliant star,
Yet one I can see wherever you are.

In this new silence, all our past words take flight,
As their wings

Refurbished Nursery Rhymes: In the Case of Tommy Tucker

Why did little Tommy Tucker
Have to sing for his supper?
Did he stammer and stutter
To merit just bread and butter?
And what miscreant oaf
Would then give him a loaf
But nary a knife to cut through it?
Didn't Tom have enough strife
In his life with no wife,
Or did fat spread on starch
Help him chew it?

The Trials of Tommy Tucker

Tommy Tucker was a youth of slight build, seeming younger than twenty,
Which was Tommy's true age; like a lone, silver star, apart from the plenty.

Tommy was well known for his great singing voice, so silky and stunning,
That people paid to hear him croon; like honey throated bees, humming.

But, as it wasn't enough to pay his

Tommy Turkey - typo edit

Tommy Turkey revealed that last year
Farmer Joe made old friends disappear.
To the new birds he said,
“Heed my words or be dead
should that farmer with axe reappear.”

The new birds thought his tale was a fable.
Tommy cried, “Run as fast as you’re able.”
To the corn field he fled
while his dumb friends instead
ended up on a Thanksgiving table.

Meet Tommy Caracos

He once was a pale of mine
when we were both young and dumb.

He was always a feisty guy - a real hot-head.
His ears satellite dishes
forever tuned to detect
any slight or perceived insult.

Time goes by,
there are forks in the road for both of us.
For years we don’t talk or meet.
I hear he’s a successful local plumber

The Ballad of Tommy Lee

Tommy Lee was a Black man,
Born a poor man's son.
From the early days of his wayward youth
Tommy Lee was on the run.

He never had no money,
Not a penny or a dime.
He was always in trouble,
He was hungry all the time.

Be proud of yo family
My Son, you got a name,
His Daddy ever told him,
And don't put

Glenn Miller and Tommy Dorsey

Was just a young'un in the big band era
But it seems just like yesterday
Listening to Glenn Miller and Tommy Dorsey
Still love it right to this day

Miller's Modernaires, and Dorsey's Pied Pipers
With their smooth harmonic blend
Chattanooga Choo-Choo and The Trolley Song
Brought me so much pleasure no end

Guess I was influenced by my older sisters
Was not even

Tsunami

Tsunami!  Tsunami!  Tsunami!                                                  

Dracula Cat and Uncle Tommy

I am weirded out the honest frightened youngster said.
Deliberately Daring Dracula cat is truthfully wacked in the head.
I saw that cat slide under my Uncle Tommy’s water bed.
She’s in for a surprise later, I laughed and said.

Uncle Tommy was an unusually heavy man for sure.
When he climbed into bed, he displaced water on her.
She came

My Cat Tommy

my cat Tommy developed a cry that sounded like "mama"
Probably during a rain storm when I slept through his cry.
I always woke up upon hearing it and let him in the back door to my room.
After he got chased down by a teenager and run over in the street
His "mama" cry continued to wake me

A Spankin New Bum For Tommy

Tommy fell off his bike and broke his bum 
When he set off to find a new one
Big, tall, or one size fits all
A man he met at the mall,
offered a new bum but for a large sum

Tommy looked here, there, and everywhere
Even the stores where they sold underwear
To venders who had his back 
But

Blame Tommy

At the evening dinner table,
a silent sneaky unaware; 
suddenly a rancid odour
permeates our luncheon air,
and then all around the table
there’s finger pointing or a name,
but once the rancid air does clear,
poor Tommy gets the blame.

Driving along the Murray banks
inside a warm and stuffy car,
we cannot put the windows down
for it’s all dust; there is no

Tommy Lee Jones 1995

simply is simple 
I wish I might feign
I wish I might go
to stumble
to quake
simply is something
I feign I might die
I feign I might rise
to reverie
to time
simple is simply is simple is not
to close
to open
to get the maestro out
