WILE E COYOTE Cartoon Character Clerihew Poetry Contest
WILE E. COYOTE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
With ACME’s ludicrous gadgets galore, in the desert Wile E. Coyote plots
Builds rockets and traps that his nemesis, the Roadrunner, inevitably spots.
*“Beep! Beep!” Road Runner zips past with a dare, and with a tumble and crash
Wile onto the desert does splat; undaunted, he sends ACME more cash.

Know the tunes?
When tomorrow is near to hand
and new winter winds are blowing in,
Will you dream of the coming days
or will you look back to where you been?
Are you caught in the hinterland,
that strange place from which there's no escape,
Or heading down

swoon to the tunes
music trivia night
a blast from the past
recognizing songs
from every era
by the first few notes
unforgettable
etched in our memory
except you know the song
but can't think of the title
picture the singer
but not his name
this getting old sucks but
slipping back into the good ol' days
brings back the days
of youth and teenage years
and things forgotten

Sad Violin Tunes
Sad violin tunes stir my heart.
When played in the G minor key
with vibrato, they can impart
wistful memories that haunt me.
The violinist bows his notes.
Sad violin tunes stir my heart.
When he plays this way, he emotes
the ache I feel; this is his art.
My dearest and I – now apart -
still are waltzing inside my mind.
Sad violin

Sad Violin Tunes, O Heart of mine
Compositions in G minor softly weep,
In somber tones where shadows often creep.
O heart of mine, in sorrow's time,
The violin, with range both vast and wide,
Evokes emotions deep, where sorrows hide.
From haunting beauty to a grief profound,
Its notes sustain, with vibrato’s rich sound.
O heart of mine, why do you

Sad Violin Tunes
A soft breeze teases
The spider’s web plays
Sad violin tunes
An eerie silence
Accompanying
Its Phantom of the Opera
Deviousness
The strings vibrate
With a musician’s need
To reach, to touch
An unseen Audience

Those sad violin tunes
Those sad violin tunes play for me, from the depths of heart
The moment when love failed me
The moment I became a toy, the moment I became a sick doll
Set to be used at will and discarded without being given a second glance
Those sad violin tunes bid my tears to flow
Even if the night air is

Merry Melodies Looney Tunes Tribute
With a quick competitive descent,
Darling Daffy and his feisty duels;
No sportsmanship? He turns violent;
He’s a stickler for all of the rules;
Makes no difference if it’s a giraffe
or Bugs Bunny banging on that piano,
play the game fair or get cut in half;
This the challengers ALWAYS know;
‘A lower standard will always debase!’
screams a bar

Jupiter tunes
You're akin to a blend
of my favourite hues—
not just black, but
preserved, concealed,
opaque, resilient, and
profound. Yet, a gentle
gaze reveals a swirling
display of myriad colours.
Not many can see it, but
for you, I'd illuminate it all.
It's not merely white;
it's pristine, translucent,
and unbarred only to your eyes.
Each stain forms a pattern twirling
in

Winter Sonata
Listen to the rain falling down,
it sounds as you are playing the drums.
Listen to the wind blowing,
it blows straight from your heart when you play the saxophone.
Listen to the music of the snow falling,
It's the winter sonata performing on the right stage.
A right silhouete on the shade,
with beautiful shoes to dance on.

Dancing in the water to tunes of distant memories
Dancing in the water to tunes of distant memories.
The times we’ve had together that only belong to you and me.
Running into the sunset, we weren’t afraid of the uncertainty.
Dancing in the water to tunes of distant memories.
What we knew then of each other, and what we never thought we’d ever see.
All the tears we’ve cried

Tunes of Romance Giving Me Another Chance
The beats coming from below
In my heart are very slow
Because it can't find someone
Who won't cheat, use me or run
There has to be a guy somewhere
Who can show me what true care
Really is and stay with me
Not leaving me as gloomy
Like the others from before
I just want a great encore
With love and kisses so sweet

THE PIPER and HIS TUNES
At the crossroads
The bald old man
With his gray stricken beards
Caressed his antiquated flute
Perching on his cracked dehydrated lips
With his spindly fingers
As he nonchalantly reeled out his tunes
He started with the beautiful tune
Of the defiant bed bug mercilessly bearing down on the torso
As in a depraved Mamba choke hold
On it's gasping victim
Next was the

VIOLIN TUNES OF BESEECHING PLIGHT
Sad violin tunes echo gloom
reminding me of gripping woe
I must conquer with faith's fresh bloom
for divine strength to make me glow.
Seeking for help like babe who cries
I beseech God to heal my soul
midst needs yon light for grievous eyes...
oh, so longing to be made whole.
In praying to the Almighty
my heart wrestles for earnest
