Four short poems by G. David Schwartz

 

One Bad Day

One bad day my heart did collapse

I fell down on my own ass

Then it happened, I do not lie

A very red bird went flying by

 

I Talked About Horse Sense

I talked about horse sense

Whoa, the way to get money

To pay the bills with oats

I supposes thats not that funny

 

I Don’t Like Washing Dishes

I don’t like washing dishes

and I don’t like dirty ones

If I was a jokester this I’d be

A nice place for some puns

 

My Grandpa Told Me One Day

My grandpa told me one day

it is nice to turn old and gray

not a believer I had to wait

Until today’s daily date.
