The Moose

Funny Poems Comments Off

A scream shot through the frigid air
In Fairbanks by the street
Two moose together by the road
Just one was on its feet

The parents covered children’s eyes
So that they couldn’t see
The cops arrived but far too late
The moose began to flee

A prize for if you find the moose
Was promised to the peeps
For Fairbanks had a special law
Moose can’t screw in the streets

All down the road the moose were chased
Escaping at the end
But right away the cops showed up
And flew around the bend

The sound of shots rang through the air
The cops had acted fast
The guns had finished firing
That moose had humped his last

A scream shot through the frigid air
In Fairbanks by the street
Two moose together by the road
Just one was on its feet

A Fish I Wish

Funny Poems Comments Off

Oh how I wish I was a fish to swim in the deep blue sea.
I would swim up and down and all around in laps of two or three.
There would be no rules to follow,all fun down here.
On land rules are trouble,a real pain in the rear.
Humans are not wanted down here and for them you must always look.
For they only want to see us fish dangling from their hook.
A sea full of wonder,yes that’s the life for me.
Oh how I wish to be a fish and one day soon I’ll be!

When I was a little girl at summer camp, another little girl came up to me and wanted to play. “Be my best friend?” she asked, and held out her hand. So Annie and I shook on it and we became best friends.

A few weeks later, a group of kids were playing outside, and I was walking up from behind because I’d gone to get a chocolate milk for Annie. Annie loved chocolate milk!

As I neared the group, I heard Annie ask another girl “Be my best friend?” And the other girl replied “I thought you were Molly’s best friend!”

Annie said “Yeah, but today I think she’s a dumb girl because she didn’t bring me chocolate milk so I want a new best friend.”

Well, there’s little six year old me, swearing I wouldn’t cry or yell at Annie, whom I believed to be my best friend.

So I ran away to the stream, throwing out the chocolate milk along the way. When I got there, a group of boys were killing tadpoles. I had a screaming fit at them to make them stop and then ran to a favorite tree and cried my eyes out ’til long past dark.

There are so many stories I still want to tell
There are so many I love you’s left unsaid
There are many tears left uncried
There are many dreams left to fall apart
I miss our long talks
I miss the nights when all was alright
I love you like a sister, you were my angel,
Yet I wonder why you left me here to die
We were forever best friends-

When one fell to the ground
The other one was there to help her back up.
We healed our broken hearts
With a hug and a gentle smile.
We stayed up every night looking at the stars,
Giggling like little girls and having midnight talks.

You said you had to go-
I wished it wasn’t so.
You said we’d always write.
You said it would be like old times.
I looked in your eyes as you looked into mine,
With smiles like everything was fine.
Yet we both knew well that this was our last good-bye.

We knew that we would never again
Have those long talks and play like little girls again.
We knew all the pain we’d cause ourselves.
I also knew that my angel was being taken away,
Yet we promised no matter what we’d remain forever best friends

Senioritis

Funny Poems Comments Off

As the snow begins to melt, and grass beings to grow
The time has come again for every senior to know
Graduation is approaching, school will soon end.
No more boring homework, no drama among friends.
Summer will be excellent, relaxing in the sun.
We won’t look back on what we’ve done
Because high school is soon over and young children must move on
After lugging around heavy backpacks, we are all very brawn.
Laughing, smiling, secrets and surprises
Are almost forgotten about when graduation arises.
So here’s to the glory years, all the fun times we shared.
Get ready for the college years, is anyone prepared?

The Zoo

Funny Poems Comments Off

Yesterday on my trip to the zoo
I saw four purple penguins
and an orange kangaroo.
Our tour guide was a monkey
wearing polka dot pants
He showed us around
and taught us the baboon dance.
I saw llamas snorkeling
and bears playing catch
but best of all was the chipmunks
teaching the lion to fetch.
The goats behind the counter
served us hot dogs and pop,
and a great big elephant did the bunny hop!
I can’t wait to go back to this zoo
Maybe next time I’ll bring you too!!

Little Jesse was only 5
When I met him for the first time.
We became fast friends that day,
Outside playing on the slide.
Never would I have guessed,
What would happen
To our innocent little selves.

Little Jesse was only 10
When I first told him my plan.
We decided to grow up
And have the same job.
Never would I have guessed
What would become of our childish plan.
Little Jesse was only 18
When I first made up my mind.

I dropped out
And of course he followed.
Never would I have guessed
What would become
Of our foolish decision.

Little Jesse was only 19
When I signed that dotted line,
With him right there signing along.
Never would I have guessed
What I would have to sacrifice
Because of my choice.

Little Jesse was only 21
When we were first shipped out,
With our bags over our shoulders.
Never would I have guessed
What would become
Of our lives.

Little Jesse was only 23
When the bullet went though him that day.
With his last breath, he told me he loved me.
Never would I have guessed
That I would loose
My best friend and only love.

Little Jesse should have been 60
With this coming fall,
And I should be right by his side.
Never would I have guessed
That I would never love another
Like little Jesse.

He stole my heart
And has yet to return it,
But I don’t think I want him to.

My mother used to ask me what is the most important part of the body. Through the years I would take a guess at what I thought was the correct answer. When I was younger, I thought sound was very important to us as humans, so I said, “My ears, Mommy.”

She said, “No. Many people are deaf. But you keep thinking about it and I will ask you again soon.”

Several years passed before she asked me again. Since making my first attempt, I had contemplated the correct answer. So this time I told her, “Mommy, sight is very important to everybody, so it must be our eyes.”

She looked at me and told me, “You are learning fast, but the answer is not correct because there are many people who are blind.”

Stumped again, I continued my quest for knowledge and over the years, Mother asked me a couple more times and always her answer was, “No. But you are getting smarter every year, my child.”

Then last year, my grandpa died. Everybody was hurt. Everybody was crying. Even my father cried. I remember that especially because it was only the second time I saw him cry. My Mom looked at me when it was our turn to say our final goodbye to Grandpa. She asked me, “Do you know the most important body part yet, my dear?”

I was shocked when she asked me this now. I always thought this was a game between her and me. She saw the confusion on my face and told me, “This question is very important. It shows that you have really lived in our life. For every body part you gave me in the past, I have told you were wrong and I have given you an example why. But today is the day you need to learn this important lesson.”

She looked down at me as only a mother can. I saw her eyes well up with tears. She said, “My dear, the most important body part is your shoulder.”

I asked, “Is it because it holds up my head?”

She replied, “No, it is because it can hold the head of a friend or a loved one when they cry. Everybody needs a shoulder to cry on sometime in life, my dear. I only hope that you have enough love and friends that you will always have a shoulder to cry on when you need it.”
