Robert Edgar Burns Poems

I flew way out to Seattle,
Just to buy some wet cattle.
Figured I’d dry them out in the south.
One cow had false teeth,
...

(Tribute to my Mom)
She’d check my forehead for a fever,
And she’d do it with soft cool hands,
Always followed by her tender kisses,
...

Watching out for Polar Bears
Is something we all must do,
If living near the North Pole,
Or while at an Arctic Zoo!
...

“Don’t do anything to ruin this son,
She’s as precious as precious can be! ”
Those were words my father said,
At my wedding jubilee!
...

This write will not be fiction,
I swear it all is true.
If you’d like some Figgy Pudding,
Here’s all you have to do!
...

Tattoos can be very colorful,
As well as a tribute for some.
The ones on my arms are for Father,
Who cares for us all from above.
...

I am starting a new language.
It just came to me today.
No it isn’t Haiku,
We’ll call it Lo-Cal if we may!
...

A wonderful woman
With shimmering hair,
Who has the prettiest
Blue eyes anywhere!
...

When I sing a love song,
I’m singing it to you.
And when I write new poetry,
It’s you I’m writing to!
...

I took a picture in front of a mirror,
While only wearing my birthday suit!
I sent it in the mail to the girl I loved,
Knowing she would get a big hoot!
...
