Poem
Wasted verses ushers quirky pathetic oeuvre

HENCE....herewith, 
a post (traumatic) 
stressed disordered poetic whim 
to summarize fantasy
incorrigible lottery dreamer
paradise visage and eyes 
zapping, swatting, and battling 
a bulge with dollar signs
whets imagination with 
Mega Million ticket bought

temptation for instant millions
human foible to reach 
for elusive pot of gold
streak of universal desire
for potential wealth 
overtakes rational self
with delusions of grandeur caught
allow, enable and provide flirtation
with fate to experience rich draught

envision emancipation from penury
a distant battle fought
expect the usual outcome
after next drawing 
to yield monetary windfall naught
impossible mission 
to banish tantalizing thought
and fully block and tackle 
hard scrapple existence wrought.

When (countless moons ago)
progeny discovered girlhood insights, 
I did wholeheartedly love and adore
who rushed  into my arms 
whenever back from trivial pursuits
at the core
when casually and nonchalantly
turn the key to open the front door
legal tender in such precious chronically
in short supply within family 

catch bull at four
inviting me to play make believe 
games being King Midas on the floor
boot budding young lady begotten girls
nearly squeezing out digested gore
akin to the finest crafted clock work
to sound the time of day
they danced and frolicked 
like kittens or puppies
though at times I desired 
them to bring newspaper 

and slippers questioning 
reciprocating sharing
silly concocted faux pa lore
at least another son or daughter more
at such urge (long silenced 
of this ram by ewe gnu who)
did vehemently (cue 
Katy Perry's pet lioness) to roar
enjoying revelry without keeping score
yet…creating memories 
I will forever store.

Financial straits affected 
our existence hand to mouth
all grandiose aspirations to succeed 
in life frequently head south.

Creative healthy endeavors 
find excitement and linguistic pleasure
thru the attempt 
reasonably rhyming aligned
words that synchronize suitably 
in poetic third eye blind
delivered by one blessed 
angel (beating tom tom club) in disguise
redemption and salvation 
considered thankful find

readers may espy hidden puns 
within this rhyme lined
with challenges or commiserate
and complement via words of positive kind
although large sum of money 
would be a dog send
to pry poem or prose from mind
deliberate semblance to communicate
and extract idea from cranial rind
loosening pent up tension to unwind

Much rather be cursed 
with excess wealth
deliverance to life, liberty
never to rue by stealth
and mental health
depravity foreign concept 
as is the obsolete word dealth;
A share dealt out; a portion or division.
