The ROADRUNNER and the RATTLESNAKE

Snippets of the Poems

The silly poems in this book are just for fun. 


Except that each poem ends with a surprise, a zinger to make you laugh--or think about the world around you, or heroes, or gender, or what it all means. 


Starting with simple poems for the young child, the line-up includes doggerel for teens to adults.

Jamaican Joy

Now a dog, when he is happy, he got a tail to slap.

But a frog, when he is happy, he just cannot do dat.

When a dog, he gettin' sleepy, he can take a nap.

But a frog--now can you tell me--where he gonna hang his hat?


Oh, a frog is a critter who is quite deprived.

Yeah, he lives in a swamp, and it is quite a dive

For it's...

How to Hide a Piece of Brocc'li

I had a piece of brocc'li that

    I didn't want to eat.

'Cuz brocc'li tastes like--brocc'li.

    It isn't at all sweet.

I cut it with my knife and fork

   and gave a sudden shove.

It sailed right back onto my lap,

    unseen by eyes above.


I innocently dropped it 

    on the floor beside my dog...

My Puppy is a Dog Named Pete

My puppy is a boy named Pete.

Oh-oh, a girl gave him a treat,

And dressed him in pink flowers and bow.

Is he a girl now? Do you know?


My teacher says that he can switch

But then how do we know who's which?

The answer's simple--'least for me:

Look down below where he goes pee.


My puppy has a certain part

That shows...

The First Time's Free

I was just walkin' down the street

Just hip-hip-hopping to a beat

When this weird guy comes from the rear

And hisses softly in my ear:

     I've got some stuff you gotta try.

     Believe me, it makes you so high.

     Now it won't hurt you. It's real clean.

     But kid, the high you get is mean!

Hey, all the...

A Boy and a Fish

Psittacosaurus--

    a hard name to say.

Funny thing is,

    it did not all decay.

Well, it did and it didn't.

    Some skin parts survived

From back millions of years ago

    when it had thrived.


Wait! Millions of years?

    That's a problem, I say.

Soft tissue like skin for 

    such long years won't stay...
