George Hunter Poems

There was a gal from Timbuktu
Who got drunk every time she drank one brew.
I said, I understand your plight
So instead just drink a Miller Lite.
...

I was having trouble sleeping the other day.
Couldn't go to sleep when I hit the hay.
So I went to the store and bought a brand new sack
Hoping to relieve the pain in my back.
...

At Christmas she went to K Mart
Which wasn’t very smart.
She got in the way
Of a mob that day
...

As I was walking down the street
A man from Ives I chanced to meet.
I said, You're not real, you're from a rhyme
That as a child I read one time.
...

I like to reread those tall tales
That I first heard as a kid
About God making the world
And all the other things he did.
...

Here today and gone tomorrow
In this world of strife and sorrow.

Went out to check on the chickens today
...

Stumbled out of bed this mornin'
Don't know where I been.
Don't know what the haps last night
But it must have been a sin.
...

There was a young man from St. Paul
Who found he had only one ball
He said we can use it
But we better not lose it
...

One cold winter day when
My senses were beginning to droop
I got an uncanny longing
For some split pea soup.
...

Love me like you used to
When we were so young
With stars in our eyes
And our songs yet unsung.
...
