humor, money, poverty,
Here lies my wallet.
On my desk he sleeps.
His malnourished stomach’s
been empty for weeks.
No family survived him.
There is only me,
With no way to pay off
his burial fee.

Take the pill
on the hill
and don't be shrill
when you see the rainbow
when you are low.
Just go with the flow
and eat the purple snow.
Chase the rabbits
through the green field
but use my shield
to end all of your habits.

how i feel, humorous, poverty, word play,
The best things in life are free!
Someone is just got to be kidding me,
Because the best thing in winter is heat;
But, just try to get it free, I entreat.
The best things in life are free!
Someone is just got to be kidding me.
When you are hungry, you must buy food.
If you don't have the money, you don't eat
and that's clearly understood.
The best things in life are free!
Someone is just got to be kidding me.
What is nicer than owning a lovely home;
But, try to do it without money and you will
stand totally alone.
Whenever the best things in life become truly free;
And no one is just kidding me,
As far as I can see,
There will be no such word as "POVERTY!"

Shall I compare thee to a hobo's day?
Thou art more lonely and more desperate.
Rough winds do shake your cardboard box in May,
Your condo's lease had all too short a date.
Sometime too hot the eyes of people shine,
And often are their coins so worthless still;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
To give up such a precious dollar bill.
But thy eternal poverty shall fade
You’ll lose possession of your alley home;
No death shall brag thou wand'rest in his shade,
Nor will you ever once be forced to roam,
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
A homeless shelter shall give life to thee.

childhood, house, humor, humorous, poverty,
We lived in many houses
throughout my childhood
'though some were worse than others
none of them were good
Some had moldy odors
that (at best) were most unpleasing
others had thick coats of dust
that left me coughing, wheezing
One's floor had fallen out
another's ceiling had caved in
you can just imagine
the predicament we were in
We stewed through summer's swelter
shivered, shook through winter's chill
and every time it rained, we
emptied pots and pans that filled
You may wonder how we lived
in such a state, deprived
but it was 'normal' (all I knew)
and somehow I survived!

Little Dieter, pork pie eater,
Had a sow and couldn't feed her,
Ground her up with sweet potatoes
Eats the pies all night and dayo.

adventure, emotions, funny, happiness, imagination, poverty, pride, symbolism,
Rectangular in shape as a deep shoebox,
where leather boots lied on long shelves.
I fell in love with their tempting softness;
I am wearing them and friends love them,
ladies adore them and shamelessly wink!
I consider myself as lucky as a rich man;
my boots will wear out, nobody will smile:
when they'll see a sad, worthless beggar!

Wherever I find a hole
I attempt to fill it with poetry:
the pocket, the heart, poetry
my go-to
mending part~
no seamstress should do
without a lyric or two
Every planter
sowing a field should pass time composing
while preparing his yield – poetry, always
somewhat satisfying in the place
till a lick of the lips
a burp, a blush
your delightfully
saucy face!

Robin Hood of proud Nottingham fame,
Treated affluent folk as fair game.
He’d grab hold of their cash
And then off he would dash,
But to give to the poor was his aim.
Bowman Robin, with cupid-like art
Sent a quiver through Marian’s heart.
Through the woods they would ride,
Merry men at their side;
How she wished, just for once they’d depart!

The poor don't need a home
The poor don't need to roam
The poor don't need your clothes
The poor don't need a rolls
The poor don't need your food
The poor don't need your mood
The poor just need your money
And that's as poor as funny

Writing limericks was Jack's strongest suit
He won all the contests, worth zero loot
He struck out with the gals
Couldn't even make pals
So Jack got practical ~ took up the flute

abuse, age, drink, humorous, metaphor, poverty, suicide,
All of the failures are mine
All the successes are theirs
I cannot stop ordering wine
I keep rearranging the chairs
Don’t stop
Don’t stop
Don’t stop beating yourself up
Should you go to Malaysia,
You best prepare to be caned
If you listen to Erasure
May need to have your earwax drained
If you prop up yourself as a hero,
Better get yourself a high steel box
‘Cause here in the Land
of Absolute Zero,
They only listen to the aftershocks
Don’t stop
Don’t stop
Don’t stop beating yourself up
‘Cause that wouldn’t be right

The Yen of My Pen
My impassioned pen has a strange addiction!
It will only move with its mania-madness
for music.
Alas, poor pen~it's so unfair to blame you!
An honest confession?
I am the same as you!
We waltz, we samba and yes, we boogie
quite a lot, too!
For my pen and I, you see, write poetry
in glitzy, fun, dancing shoes!

Alphabet,
graphic animal
26 letters of
spectrum...
By walking,
walk,
leaves tracks
of words
and verses ...
And as in the phrases,
creates scattered wings
that disappears
in the wind...
The Alphabet beast,
pass and leave
traces but
not only in the texts ...!
