Best Goat Poems

Not to be taken lightly, I burnt all my clothes 
Cut the tattoos off my back, tore pins from my nose 
Foraged for food particles, where wild beasts reposed
Lapped water vapour off thorns, when the thirst arose 

My identity gone, I herded mountain goats 
Built...

Hello my friend, good day to you; I see you got my note
It's time we had a face to face about that crazy goat!

He made a mess, broke in my barn; ate up my buds and cans
And when I tried to chase him out, he...

These two guys were out on a bird hunt
Suddenly they came upon a pit
Looks deep said one; I’ll throw some rocks in
And see how long it takes them to hit

Never heard the rocks hit the bottom
OK, I have an idea, said one
I saw an old...

The purple on his chin was tellin'
there was just no use to lie.
That pesky, good for nothin' goat
had eaten Mother's pie.
She  had set it on the porch 
jist to cool it down a bit,
and don't you know that goat had come
and calmly eaten it.

My...

I once had a goat who loved to swim
I enrolled him at our local gym
I know, I know, it was just a whim!
Do tell!

He did rather well in beginners’ match
Girl swimmers thought him quite a catch
But he failed to get his lifesaver’s patch.
Oh, hell!

He punched...

There’s a goat on my roof and he won’t come down;
there’s a goat on my roof, acting like a clown.
That clip-clop of hooves, what obnoxious noise;
though it’s amazing, his level of poise.

What drew him there, I do not know,
there wasn’t any food or foe.
Just walking...

The pencil now resting the image was 'testing' for the creature before him, (his badly-drawn drawin') had come out 'not right' somewhat twisted and tight.

The picture in question, it burst with suggestion, for lines that seemed solid too often turned squalid. With unfinished thoughts (and...

Cymbals and fireworks crisp and crescendo through the
black of night past the chrysanthemums displays
for the year of the Goat begins.

red cars, red money, red clothes, flame with wishes for 
prosperity as displays descend 
over Victoria harbor in Hong Hong.

Sittin in a bar alone
I think of words I wrote.
Counting dollars on the wall
at a place they call The Goat.

The waitress took my order,
eyes shining like a star.
I ordered up some pancakes
from Christina at the bar.

Music touched my memories,
in the corner a TV.
Just outside the...

There once was a man,
Who carved him a boat.
It was out of the cheese,
That he milked from his goat.
The first one he failed,
So he made him a note.
Never use Swiss,
Because it won’t float!...

An Old Goat in a boat rowed off shore.
He caught perch in his search and much more.
So full was his boat,
there's trout in his coat
Eau de fish was his scent evermore!

Not everyone understands that bit
An avid libertarian…

Here is just a little clue,   
Look inside the words I write,
Other words hide in there, too,
When packed in tight, they unite.

Scapegoat is the first one,
I don’t think a goat’s aware,
Escaping from this poem,
That his pelt might need repair.

Afterthought is complex too,
A thought...

Upon the hills, dry brush prevails,
Thriving still on winter rains, summer's tale.

Soon, the sun's embrace will come,
Kindling fears of an inferno, a fiery drum.

To mow this meadow, what's the best play?
A herd of goats and sheep, grazing all day,

Heavy machinery falters on the steep hillside,
But...
