John Carter Brown Poems

You've got to leave something
Behind when you go,
No matter how large
Or how small;
...

I think of a little red dog that I knew,
Who when young was so bold and so frisky;
I think of her now as I pen these few lines,
I'm thinking of course of our whiskey.
...

I declare unto you there's a brew that is true,
Golden brown until we make it white;
It's drunk in the morning, it's drunk after noon,
In the evening, and also at night.
...

The Anglo-Saxon idiom
Is a tax upon the brain
I mean, just what have cats and dogs
To do with heavy rain?
...

I used to know a fellow in the farming trade,
You could always tell his chickens
By the eggs they laid;
They were small like him
...

I'm feeling very vengeful,
I really just can't wait,
Until the kids are older,
And in their married state.
...

The other day our Sammy
Did a very silly thing:
She bought a can of pop
And then she swallowed up the ring!
...

I sit enveloped in my chair,
My limbs relaxed, my work is done;
The radio is droning low,
My eyes are heavy as a ton.
...

I have the feeling that I
Want to write some words that gel;
To put a hidden sentence in, to
Write them very well.
...

Lovely bubbles thick and creamy,
Water deep and room all steamy,
World shut out and I'm all dreamy,
Guess what? I'm having a bath.
...
