Yankee Doodle Poems | Examples


Premium MemberYankee Doodle In King Joe B's Court

Feathered hat, fife and drum
    Doodle's entrance a smash
  Though in the air, all around him
    float sweet marijuana and hash

  'Young lady,' begins Doodle - O, the naivete!
    'I'm a he not a she,' the young thing announces
  'Are you non-binary, (you) kwir coquette?' 

  Doodle scratches his head, looks to heaven
    What strange folks are these, he wonders
  Where he is she and she is he... Who is me?
    All is folly! ~ the race now riven asunder

Premium MemberA Yankee Doodle Senior

I'm a Yankee Drooling Senior
Trousers pulled up nipple high
Food stains on my shirt and in my hair
Happy but I don't know why

Got to see my family doctor
Really painful when I pee
All you people hear me farting
Better hide the children
Cause I am about to let one fly



(To the tune of Yankee Doodle Dandy.
Apologies to George M. Cohan.)

Yankee Doodle Returns To Town

Yankee Doodle
had a poodle,
and its name was Tony.
He fed this dog on fish and chips
and lots of macaroni.

Yankee Doodle
lacks a poodle.
Now he has a terrier.
Every day it learns new tricks.
The more it learns, the merrier.

Yankee Doodle Went To Maine

Yankee Doodle went to Maine
Riding on a snail.
By the time he reached Bangor,
He was old and frail!
