Warthog Poems | Examples

find some happiness that way

Children who grow up, who will one day become 
men,
Do not forget to live, live the moment,
One day you will not scare the boars,
Nor to warthog,
You will have to change to be happy,
Animals have a sixth sense,
Horses, donkeys, camels have a sixth sense,
Chickens, cats, swallows,
You’ll have to get up early, to understand,
You’ll have to get up early to escape
To escape the warthog, the snakes,
Children who grow up, who become men,
Man is a violent animal,
Flee when he looks into yours,
Flee when he puts his thoughts in yours,
Flee like animals, like wild geese,
Like boars, like warthogs, flee
And you may find happiness.

Fend Danger

When danger lurk
Warthog speed
Like Ferrari.

a princely warthog

He was a princely warthog with a keen healthy snout.
Females were smitten, and that is without a doubt.
He dressed in clothes that suited his station for sure.
I am saving myself he told them, for marriage, I am totally pure.

The females took this as a challenge and tried to entice.
They are doting and fawning he said, it is kind of nice.
But he was not interested, for he was a warthog with a mission.
He was going to be a priest, so there was not even kiss’n.

Crazy Dreams

Porcelain Ponies
Warthog Knees
Falling Up
Stinging Bees
Windows on Ceilings
Clouds on the Ground
Vegetables Talking
Clowns only Frown
Monkeys Ride Camels
Dogs Climbing Trees
Oceans of Sand
Lakes Made of Cheese
Such is the realm,
of Crazy Night Dreams!

Cats Dance Around the Christmas Tree

The master and his family were gone to grandma’s house.
There was scurrying and screeching, from the family of a mouse.
The door opened wide, and cats came in with an enormous shout.
The master and his family had left the plum pudding and the milk out.

The mice ran in every direction, and the cats began to dance.
They stomped the mice and ate them, and they did a lively prance.
They drank the milk and devoured the cookies from every single plate.
They danced a cat jig that was lively until one said “it’s getting late!”

There were twelve cats in all, and they put up quite a lively yell.
If we eat any more of this family’s food, we might just go to…..
They grabbed cheese from the frig and continued the party down the road.
Where they tormented a snake, a snail, a warthog and a toad.

Whimsical Warthog Wheelbellies

whimsical warthogs workout wildly
with wonderful whacky wily ways
Wheebellies wish whenever warthogs workout
we would whistle while they wisely wiggle 
with warthog wisdom.

Staff Conference

Another staff meeting,
there are lizards at the table,
a few goats, an ass.
I know they return to
the fold of a superficial normality
at weekends,
some even rock climb
or enjoy a quiz-night at their local pub,
one builds model ships out of matchsticks,
but here they exist zoologically
on the musky fumes of
their animal instincts.

I consider myself human
but at times my self-image slips
especially when i'm a cog in the machine
The actual boss is not here
yet his name floats in the air
as if powered by a constant
airconditioned camel fart.

Drone, drone, drone,
forced laughter.
Intimidation is in the air
it is as thick as hand soap.
The squeakiest wheel pipes up –
kill me now.
We are all expendable and know it.
Even the warthog
at the head of the table.

The warthog glares at me
while his forced grin smacks my face
like an oily rag.
I catch my reflection in a window,
I am turning into a bedside lamp.

Hours later, driving home, body drained;
bottom sore from extreme sitting,
a mad impossible dream.

I want to go back
and beat the warthog over his head
with my 60 watt brain
until he promises never, ever
to speak to me again.

Pants Dance

there was a warthog who danced
who dipped, swirled, rocked, slid and pranced
to cut the rug and swing
was his favorite thing
until he danced off his pants

Confession

The night was young, ecosystem calm
Thoughts flooding my mind, I got drowned in them
Pin fall silence, I could hear my blood flow
On the spur of the moment came misdirection


Entered she, soaked in tears
Her eyes inflamed; larynx they were
Tears still cascading down her countenance
She wept profusely

She needed a shoulder to lean on, mine was uncommitted
I snuggled her to at least give her solace
Compassion was requisite 
It cost nothing, so I offered her

Our proximity; not far from contact
Changed things drastically
Her warm tears gushed down my chest
Melting my heart, the throbbing irregular

Her light skin so enticing, pleasing to the touch
My hands got the pleasure
Racing all over her like a hasty warthog escaping death
Caged, I couldn’t escape the enticement and so…

Gamophobia

I thought it was a bed of roses,
I knew it was a gallery of smiles,
I saw marriage a sweetest thing,
Full of love,trust and well being,
I never imagined otherwise.

All in me changed  completely,
When a couple parted ways,
The wife narrated the whole story,
She remembered the torture,pain
And how her husband maimed her daily.

She told me how he was full of infidelity,
She showed me scars all over her body,
She even recalled how she almost lost life,
Marriage to her was just a rite of pain passage,
Her husband was only a warthog in a sheep skin.

Am afraid,am sad,I have lost interest,
If marriage is all about this,let it be,
None will torture my feelings when single,
None will cheat on me and hurt my feelings,
Marriage is harsh,I fear it.

A Funny Thing Happened On the Way To the Zoo

A funny thing happened on the way to the zoo,
You won’t believe it but I’ll tell it to you,
I was driving there and what did I see?
All the animals were set free!

The eagles were flying thru the air,
What destination? They didn’t care,
The hippos, elephants and rhinos cleared the street,
Camel, antelope and zebra clomping their feet.

Snakes, tarantula and scorpion on the run,
Crocodile, bison and warthog all having fun,
Gorilla, giraffe and the wildebeest, 
Having a ball to say the least.

Lions and tigers began to roar,
Like they had never roared before,
Later we found how they were set free,
Somehow the monkeys had gotten the key.

Brainwashing a Greenhorn In My College Den

I dubbed a first year my room mate
Upon arrival into our teacher training college
To baptize him. His pride in quick order I did decimate
Taking him at high celerity on a binge

Initiating him into traditional beer
In a nearby shanty compound
Where I got his head into God’s fear
Whereby upon returning the greenhorn couldn’t push anyone around

The special welcome made him the follower
I desired
Having diminished his self-concept and self-esteem lower  
Than he aspired but higher than he perspired

I proceeded to indoctrinate him into elocution parlance
As best as I could
Ensuring he possessed a college etiquette lance
That would

Not upstage Special
Whom he soon began to emulate
With artificial
Manners to dissimulate

The nascent confidence he feared might offend me
If he grew overconfident
More than I could agree
If he became less diffident

But he played the good boy
Obedient like a lapdog
Happy to enjoy a bone for a new toy
Like a contented warthog

When my training petered out
Satisfaction smiled
In my bosom without any shadow of doubt that my clout
Tamed the greenhorn who wouldn’t succeed in getting me riled.

Animal Talk

when I open the eyes, and squint properly
From above the Chetambe, and watch around fairly
I think is a nice , but together spent rarely
I want to chat you Mr Elephant, but then shed the ticks


You say I am giraffe, and claim am tall
When you talk me you say, stretch time not firm
I convince and say come when , you admit and say okay
I want to chat you Mr Elephant, but your ticks stick

You call me Mr Owl, ugly and ugly you say
That my flight of all, can't get near your size
I convince and say favour, you say yes but no we
I want to chat you Mr Elephant, but your ticks tear

You call me warthog, myself you term ugly
My mouth you laugh at, and run over my children
You consider the giraffe, for tallness and size
I want to chat you Mr Elephant, though your ticks no means

Listen for this is golden, the jungle is never
Ever hope that each token, for all and all for
All cannot belong to one, all we join for favour
Time to chat time to chat, every cloud has a silver lining

My Favourite Animal In the Wild

My favourite animal in the wild?
Brumbies and mustangs when I was a child.

But now as an adult I really can't say,
There's such a magnificent diverse array.

But I suppose upon some introspection,
With my lean towards natural selection...

The dogs I keep are as wolfy as possible;
Faving the wolf seems the most plausible.

But if I have to pick one, pets aside,
There is one particular handsome hide;

Seeing beauty in a mug that's for others a slog,
I positively adore that fang dangled Warthog!

Africa

The land of Baobab and Acacia sassa trees
The proud land of our forefathers.
The home of the fastest animal on earth - Cheetah
The oldest inhabited territory on Earth, 
Who handed treasure of wisdom down to us
The most-populous landmass. 

The place of origin of humans and the Hominidae clade.
The land of the the most abundant antelope, the impala 
The land of sunshine and bird songs
Cut almost equally in two by the Equator

It straddles the equator and encompasses numerous climate areas
Hosts a large diversity of ethnicities, cultures and languages
Africa's has landscapes of many changes. 
With beaches, rain forests, islands and dunes, 
its climate keeps you guessing all afternoon 
Contains an enormous wealth of mineral resource and 
largest numbers of megafauna’s species

From her Warthog to her Giraffe, 
from her Impala
to her ground, bound Ostrich, 
Africa's home to so, much wonder, 
that it's hard to leave this land, down under!
