Funom Makama Poet Rhyme

King Mr Selfish

Benefits for all pass through his desire
he can’t even share a match stick of fire
he’s attracted to everything fresh
only then can he let go the old flesh
owning not the best cake- he can’t understand
circulation beginning not from him hurts- he can’t withstand
he was asked at gun point “your money or your life”
unbelievably! He said “My wife”

So into himself that he forgets to write a will
even about to go, he isn’t sensitive to anyone’s bill
the people will rejoice at his funeral
b’cos to the soil he’s now a mineral
by then, he exits with nothing
And will leave everyone with something

John Fleming February 9, 2015 at 12:46 PM You have a remarkable eye for detail...and an inquiring mind. You are most definitely...a poet! :) john. Funom Makama February 10, 2015 at 6:05 AM wow! John Fleming... Your words made me smile so well... God bless you my dear!

Michelle Mac Donald January 10, 2015 at 3:54 PM Oh Funom, I've always felt terribly sad about death. I had even buried our hamsters, pet fish, and wild birds saying a prayer. They hadn't willed me anything, but had given me joy. Must be about king Henry the 8th? He had been a scurvy-like scroundrel! He would surely have bartered with one wife, he'd had an unhappy slew to chose from.:( Best wishes to you, Mikki Funom Makama January 14, 2015 at 12:28 PM Thank you loads Mikki
