Chuck Toll Poems

For nearly four score years and ten our mother
Found joy exploring what her world could give.
She knew first-hand the hells that one can live
But always felt that life was worth the bother.

Seen first from seaward, Tangier Island
Looms small and low, and lacking highland.

Eye halve a gnu spell Czech or,
It came with my pea see.
It plane lee marques four my revue
Miss takes eye dew knot sea.
...

With someone other than my ex.
...

Why did the coyote cross the road?
To show the turtles and armadillos,
The cottontails and prairie dogs,
...

The joke about how porcupines mate applies
As well to other species where inept suitors
Get eaten in flagrante by their chosen ladies.
Coyotes, who gently pair for life, are shrewder.

My friends all drive Porches, I must make amends.
...

Enough! bellowed Father,
I’ve had it to here!
The bickering must stop.
We need more good cheer!
...

I suppose I could have been more helpful that night,
But it had been a long day and frankly I was tired.
While the wild winds buffeted our darkened house,
While tree boughs groaned in protest and driven rain
...

Vice President Cheney would dispute
That polls and surveys constitute
A factor that his boss should track
In weighing options for Iraq.
