Best Nantucket Poems
Girl From NantucketI once knew a girl from Nantucket
Who chased down a goose, just to pluck it
As she ran, took a spill
So he gave her a quill
And I guess we all know, where he stuck it
Just not clean enough for contests---lol...

A Girl Fom NantucketThere once was a young girl from Nantucket
Who's charms overflowed by the bucket
If you ever saw her nude
You'd try not to be rude
But you'd try to cover up your large nugget
You were expecting something else perhaps!!!

NantucketThere once was a man from Nantucket,
Who carried his milk in a bucket,
When it sloshed on the street,
You could hear him repeat,
"I should get a straw and go suck it."...

A Girl From NantucketThere once was a girl from Nantucket
Who entered a horse stall to muck it

And there was only an ass
So she didn’t need quite so much bucket...

Man From Nantucket - ReduxHe’s much older, the man from Nantucket
can too easily fold, roll, or tuck it

Their fathers call out to them-
“Careful girls!”-
drinks sloshing, ice tinkling
as I go by invisible,
yet sensed.
A summer later,
I will be gone.
Starched,...

She finally told her boss “take a hike”
(Expecting something else perhaps???)...

Donald Trumpet In NantucketDonald Trumpet in Nantucket
Had gone on new trip to Nantucket
And his name was Donald Trumpet;
Had no appeal;
Blew each deal;
His brains were spilled in a bucket.

nice of her and now
Sarah seems brighter
somewhat better
as she wrote neatly
in her Nan’s letter
