Paul Revere

A silly poem–who knows how I came up with this one.

Paul Revere:

Paul Revere was an auctioneer,

Who lived on the frontier,

And every leap year,

Pierced his ear,

With a cashmere racketeer,

That is crystal-clear,

When struck with a spear,

Is loud and clear,

Heard all the way up in the stratosphere.

Old King Cole

This is another one of my silly poems. Done several years ago. For awhile there I was on quite a role for crazy poems.

Old King Cole:

Old King Cole is from the North Pole,

He has no heart and soul,

But he does have a son named Joel,

Who has a tadpole,

That lives in a fishbowl,

Out of which comes a flagpole,

Who does have a heart and soul.

Cousins

I wrote this several years ago back when I was learning how to write poetry using a poetry book to teach me how to write it. Another silly poem. I certainly do know how to come up with them!

Cousins:

I have some cousins named Kelly-Nellie and Shelley,

And they live in New Delhi,

Kelly-Nellie and Shelley have jobs,

Kelly-Nellie runs a smelly deli,

Shelley runs a jelly potbelly,

Whatever that is!

Air Force Horse

I wrote this several years ago. It’s an incredibly silly poem as you will read. I have no idea what I was thinking when I wrote this. 😀

Air Force Horse:

There is a horse in the air force,

Dressed as a general,

Very brave is he,

To wear air force clothes,

You can’t imagine why,

So you ask, “Why?”,

And he says, “Because I am a native-born air force horse.”
