Looked up some of the poems from when someone had a contest which involved creating poems for Doug.

Doug Haiku

wingtips on his feet
kicks the widow onto street
scrooge and Doug smiles sweet

ketchup on his tie
no notice of fly undone
cheerful banker one

Where the heck did you find those? Those are really excellent. They capture the real me.

I saved them (actually treasured them).


there was an old fogey named doug
who from boopsie tried to wrangle a hug
a tussle ensued
boopsie lost more than a shoe
and both suffered burns from the rug


Doug once took a trip to Nantucket
Where doughnuts were sold by the bucket
"All the shops close by noon!"
Doug noted with gloom
"I had better luck last year in Phuket!"

Doug dressed like a dandy, oh such a guy
Every girl dreamed of catching his one good eye

His wingtips were shiny and caused him to slip
Stepping onto Persephone’s dress ,now causing a rip

Doug stared at her closely, her clothes come undone
He noticed not her father, nor his loaded shotgun

Still, Doug leapt like a leopard when he heard the shot
Managed to escape into the parking lot

He thanked his stars again that he got away
And said no more dancing during this month of May

Mary Anna needed a villain for her latest tome,
He had a multicolored beard, was built like a gnome.

Doug was a bad man, who had caused oh so much trouble
Mary Anna had him disturb some archeological rubble

But in the end she sought to save his poor name
She said I’ll get someone else to shoulder the blame

And so she just said, let’s leave Doug this night
And let this poem's rhyme come out just right.
