Robert Edgar Burns Poems

(An Acrostic Form Of Poetry)

Another word for murder
Bringing vicious acts to babies in wombs.
...

He maketh me lie in orange pastures,
Where to my right are purple and blue.
A world where rainbows color the flowers.
This glorious gift God gives you!
...

I have become the newest sex symbol
For women who no longer care.
Old men have asked me for my advice,
And for this secret they want me to share.
...

M-aybe Lucy Or Lucille Ricardo
C-ould not tell you her middle name.
G-ot to reading it was Esmeralda,
I-n her wedding guest book printed plain.
...

(To the tune "HAPPY AND YOU KNOW IT")

If you want to be remembered just be kind.
If you want to be unstressed just unwind.
...

I'm back to myself today!
I wanted to die yesterday.
But how could she respect
The man she'd rather forget?
...

I am wasted down to skin and bones
But what keeps it all together?
It's one hundred pounds of extra fat,
So I stay warm in all cool weather.
...

There's no one in this world today
Who could treasure you like this guy.
And if by chance there ever was,
Votes combined could only tie!
...

She had eyes like dark Black Onyx.
Wearing earrings of Topaz Pink.
A Sapphire necklace adorned her neck,
And her white diamond bracelet made me blink.
...

My wife says each day is like Thanksgiving.
It's what she gets marrying a turkey like me.
I told her she could eat more prune Danish.
Then her constipation just might break out free.
...
