Best Bet Your Bottom Dollar Poems

There’s cheap lunches in the Barley Tavern,
each Wednesday, when after one o’clock.
I always chose to eat beer battered fish,
plus mystery cake a little bit ad hoc.
And this Wednesday here in the tavern,
Ted Austin joined me with his chosen dish,
which consisted of fruit salad in a...

They’re motives of the weekend - they’re a gardener’s saving grace,
buzzing up and down and ‘round and ‘round cleaning up the place.
There’s nothing like the latest smell of a freshly mown down lawn,
once you ease a hiccup which can cause a heap of scorn. 

You...

There is reason to get up in the morning
Raisin toast, breakfast tacos, and even bacon
But I would make case that there is no reason to get up at all

Why would anyone leave a perfectly comfy bed?
Pillows all piled high and the duvet just so
Swimming in...

THE PEANUT BUTTER STRIKE

In my last year at school I was made a prefect,	
Why I don’t know for I was no model scholar

I’m happy to have fond memories, how happy
Was the headmistress i’d hate to bet my...

And if I needed some help on a...

I ain't afraid of no ghost, friend,
You can bet your bottom dollar
I'm an expert on ghosts of men -
I was born in Booger Holler.

Now the Holler's a mile across
And the length is about the same
The trees all drip with Spanish Moss,
The woods are all empty...

Merciful Deceased Mother - Father T'will See Thee Anon

Atheism underscores bedrock

encompassing mine secular humanistic credo
simultaneously tricking elusive illusion, sans

They all sit there lined up in a row 
Not knowing when exactly when to go 
Decisions are made on the image they are looking for 
As the applicants mumble at the door. 

Mommas got cash 
Let those pass
The Agent said 
Wondering if they knew...

To all the folk still wearing
That choke-chain gambler's collar
Who try to play within their limits
But bet their bottom dollar

To the disappointed hopeful
With his head held in his hands
You heard jackpot sounds that shook the ground
Yeah you were lied to man

To the woman and her duffle...

Oh, I could tell you that all is fine that everything is just great
Just keep on sipping your wine and don't worry about your fate
I could flat pass over the subject as this would be easier for me
You too wish that this I'd select and...

since may 2010,
before any kind of trial at all has taken place,
bradley manning rots in solitary 
confinement, 
“being denied exercise, any kind of social 
interaction & sunlight” as well as often 
“being kept completely naked”
clearly undergoing what some have rightly called
torture---
julian assange’s life is threatened...

Every day you wake up happy,
There are people who wake up sad;
Every time you have some good luck
Others’ luck is being bad.

Every check-up that finds you healthy,
There is a diagnosis not as good;
Every time you eat a big meal,
There are families wishing that they could.

Every...

There’s a place in never never land
Where shopping centres go
Every single night to replace 
The goods they have on show
You’ll never see them travelling 
'Cos they go through hyper-space
And sometime in the panic
Get returned to the wrong place
So if you’re in your city centre
And the...
