Krispy by Jeanie Axton

Leave a comment

Krispy’s now a famous bear

who could not believe his luck

right there in town late one night

an open door on a donut  truck.

Well, he licked his lips and in he went

chocolate, cinnamon and sprinkles galore.

Krispy just couldn’t get enough

two in each of his furry paws.

However, he was caught red handed

told to leave the truck quick smart

but not before the film crew arrived

Krispy played the perfect part.

He smiled right into the camera

showing of his sugary grin

then waddled back to the woods

to boast of his big win.

Alas, the other bears

hearing the truck was securely locked

grumbled and grunted loudly

“ Why did you not bring us a box!”

This poem was based on a CBS news article from Alaska https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/bears-caught-camera-raiding-krispy-kreme-doughnut-van-alaska/

Full of Importance by Jeanie Axton

Full of importance
on Pageant Day
our canine friends
were out to play

Santa costumes
Christmas grins
white beards flowing
from hairy chins

Music and laughter
Christmas cheer
the town comes alive
this time of year

Thousands of locals
line the street
applauding our pooches
as they wag to the beat

The talk of the town
for the year to come
The dogs of Mt Gambier
are second to none

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Don’t forget a special treat for your furry members on Christmas Day.

The Mob by Jeanie Axton

Leave a comment

An emu family crossed the road

not a single care in sight,

unconcerned about all the cars

and what could possibly be strife.

Halfway across all traffic stilled

the mob stopped and looked around

“Whats is all the fuss about?

We are on our way, Homeward bound!”

Boogers by Jeanie Axton

As an expert in the making

flicking boogers is a skill

when Im needing more of them

I know where to refill.

Friends all want to join me

but its an individual sport

one thats learnt through practice

or as they say “self taught”.

Anticipation by Jeanie Axton

Dedicated to Gwen and her Golden Retriever Louie.

The sun is setting 

a coloured sky awaits,

“Lets get moving

We cant be late”

We walk and we talk

as we pick up the pace,

towards the sunset

at our sacred place.

To the end of the pier

we arrive at our spot,

out comes the phone 

for our nightly shot.

On the way home 

I look back and grin

“Thanks for the walk,

Lets do this again”.

Two Pink Galahs by Jeanie Axton

Two old pink galahs

up high in a gumtree

looked down at recess

to see what they could see.

Two junior school boys

glanced up and said “Gidday”

then the two old galahs 

spread their wings and flew away.

Horseplay by Jeanie Axton

A game at a campsite.

What do we need?

Five friends and three buckets

and rope for a lead.

Off we go now

galloping down to the bay,

for we are all horses.

Neigh! Neigh! Neigh!

The Mutt Hutt by Jeanie Axton

Leave a comment

A custom cut from nose to butt

is what the “Mutt Hutt” does

Snipping, styling the latest trends

and shaving through the fuzz

In through the in door

disarrayed and dirty as can be

Out through the out door

transformed to a beauty queen

A Sensible Hat by Jeanie Axton

Leave a comment

A sensible hat is sensible

if worn in a sensible way

by a sensible type of person

at a sensible time of day.

A sensible hat can be silly

ugly, tattered or old

a sensible type of hat

is just that, sensible “so I’m told!”

Three Fat Pigeons by Jeanie Axton

Three fat pigeons

looking very needy,

waddled around a bakery

in central Coober Pedy.

Pecking at the crumbs

with not a worry in sight,

these three fat pigeons

have given up their flight. 

An interesting read about the pigeons who didn’t give up their flight! https://amp.abc.net.au/article/101543770
