Best Bonus Poems

Lemme tell ya'
about a kid 
whose mind is so far down the gutter
he was seen scheming on another kid's mother
being obscene
at the scene he
whistled and muttered  
"Nice Udders!"

I'm telling you
little dude is smooth
with more game than Milton Bradley
at nine years old
he already got hold...

...happening today

She watched me tilt my head and look eyedrops into each eye and shuddered, saying "I can't do that" I looked at her in disbelief! She, recovering from her 3rd fall, same wrist broken twice, bravely isolated in a re-hab facility with that dead-air...

Christmas indeed is blissfully wondrous
Yet one character makes my child nervous
A Santa granting no gift
As if showing dearth midst thrift
Negating spirit to be generous.

My boy’s Christmas fright can be humorous
Yet his demands for giving* is serious
Toward season’s blessed lift
Against “mine alone” rift…
Thank God, He's poured...

An unshaven programmer tech
Drooled java on a Starbucks deck
His net earnings grew
As fooled patrons threw
Dinero to pay for his check...

Defend Thy Bonus!
(For Boris and Those City Boys of London)

“They’ll leave! They’ll leave!” 
He cried, with a look of sheer panic 
In those innocent blue eyes
“And ‘The City’ will be poorer without them....!” (he lied).

“Let them go!  Let them go!” I cried 
In fact...

"Last letters fall off a lonely page, punished the pen 
 sits silent, recovering from past strokes of sage."

Bluebirds sing along with Springs triumphant return
red and yellow tulip's splendor fall out in front of me
my inquisitive mind inhales nature's fresh awakening
as my pen stares off...

My moisturizer’s from Clinique.
When I am running low,
I wait until it’s bonus time
And to the store I go.

For give-aways are advertised – 
With purchases, of course;
You have to spend a set amount,
Which all the clerks enforce.

So 27 was the price
You’d need to qualify
For the make-up...

While to myth seers, leap year is mysterious

Science explains it, never injurious

For me, the Lord meant such as victorious

Wondrous grand bonus for gracious day’s gift*.

*Ecclesiastes 3:13 And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labour, it is...

A prime-numbered day if years leap
Adds one extra cycle for sleep
This calendar fact
Keeps seasons intact
And discounts our rents that ain't cheap...

This year I turned 41
That's 16 more than I thought I'd get
I mean teachers, police, parents
Hell, even the statistics said 25 was it
So for me, my day-to-day is weird
Every morning a hard-earned prize
Since I never thought I would see it
Nothing matters for me, a constant...

Feeling hopeless

Feeling down

Looking at the paper

Here in my hand

They say it’s a bonus

They say it’s really good

But what I read

Sounds like a bill

I need lots of money

More than I have ever had

And give it to them

I don’t understand

They’ll give more  papers

They say I can...
