Best Budget Poems
The Budget Is a Moral DocumentWhat goes into
caucus and committee
and what comes out
of caucus and committee
what dialogue travels
the halls of Congress
and what dialogue is absent
from those consecrated halls
what is debated on

Budget FlightThe plane looked old and fairly worn,
the sky was grey, about to storm.
They hurried us along the aisles,
in tiny seats we’d sit for miles.
With creak and groan we taxied out,
at runway’s end we turned about.
With roar of jet and screech of wheels
we found out how...

Budget DayLying in bed
Streching limbs
Slowly sinuously
Gently
Snow is falling
Forecast is bad
Budget Day is here
Reality intervenes
Anxiety filters in
I get up stiffly
To absorb it all...

Finding Fun On A Budget Part 3 - The Great Beef Jerky RideNot an amusement park in sight
So, we headed to the mountains
No bumper cars, roller coasters,
Spinning cups, or dancing fountains
We diligently searched
For something to stimulate our hype
At last we spotted a
Near perpendicular metal irrigation pipe
Without a pod, a seat, or even some grease
The tube...

Gaping Hole In BudgetGaping Hole In Budget
Went on trip when from reality was escaping,
And to do it up some money was scraping
Finally after I had saved enough and a lot
As usual again ended up getting caught
With bug whole in budget terribly gaping.

spiraling downward toward bruising the night
bouncing on sky skin with trampoline hair
shooting like rocket dust into the air
dipping each strand in the hottest of stars
gold tipped and fragrant in Jupiter shards
crushing the bones in the feet of desire
snapping back shoestrings of love...

Does sound a bit so
Jam today
Jam for some, for
Others sorrow
Nothing left for
Jam tomorrow

Budget Cuts and Bill's RegretsBill’s been seeing
a therapist for years
trying to get his life on track
but all he talks about is
his many regrets in a life
not wisely lived.
His therapist suggests
he put his regrets on a boat
and let it float away.
Bill heads for the...

Is certain the day will bring sorrow

And live well on all you can borrow!"...
