Hammer's demented poetry

I've seen a lot of poetry in my blog travels. Being of the caveman ilk, I don't usually avail myself to the fruitier pursuits. However, I think I found a way to create poetry for the common man who proudly farts, scratches his nuts and guzzles beer.

Haiku

From inner sanctum
A mighty rumble echos
Dare I release it?

Limerick

Forty beer I did consume
Cans and bottles fill me room
A hairy belly hangs o'er my belt
A more manly odor you've ne'er smelt
If you'll excuse me now my drinking must resume

Monody

Tyrone Jackson didn't do nuffin
Law done shot him cause da crack he's puffin
Tyrone bees a star aflete n sheet
Dribbles dat bassaball on the street

His momma be cryin cause he was a good boy
He thought that glock be a cheap plastic toy
Tyrone be a scholar.. smartest of his kin
He be eighteen in the third grade again

So pour out some o dat malt liquor
For da homey who shoulda run quicker
He point dat gun when da pigs sayed stop
It's all good, we get to watch you on "Cops"

Monorhyme

As I sit on the cool seat of my crapper
A Field and stream magazine sits in my lapper
I'm trying to push but the turd is a trapper
Can't concentrate cause the dog is a yapper
If he doesn't shut up I'll give him a slapper
My poop just broke off... I call that a snapper
Forgot to buy paper I've got to wipe with a wrapper

I am so ashamed of the laughter that I can't control right now. Reader's Digest needs to publish that last one. That is definitely poetry for the every man. And woman.

OMGosh you are a nut!! (high praise)

Move over John Keats. That's good stuff you got there -- each better than the last.

LOL - I know I've asked you a million time, but why aren't you published?? You are an amazing writer! :)

Good stuff - who needs an ode to an urn or shit about a tree?

You know, if you set it to some "samples" it would be better than most of that rap/hip hop crap out there.

Oh hell man the Haiku is appealing to this common woman who proudly farts, scratches her boobs and guzzles rye!

Pull my finger with pride... embrace your bodily functions~~~

Demented - maybe! But that poetry took a lot of effort and I am laughing so hard I'm in tears!

Hammer, great poetry! This goes into my collection of man poems. Here is another lymeric for ya...you probably know it already.

There once was a hermit named Dave,
who found a dead ho in a cave,
She was ugly as shit,
and missing a tit,
but think of the money he saved!


ROTFLMAO!

Your former English teachers would be so proud of you to know that you remembered how to write poetry.

Have a fun night.

I think you put "demented" in the wrong location in your title. It should have been the first word!
