Best Budgeting Poems
"Dearly beloved, "We are gathered here today to witness,
The wickedness of these times."
"Blessed", fortunately, its ending soon."
To radio stations phone-it.
"Wait!, No!, Next month.
"Taking the kiddies fishing."
"Perhaps we should postpone it."
"Reminds me, of an ole story.
"My, dear neighbor, now long past away."
"Bought a two-thousand watt light bulb."
"Used it to clean the lint from his toe nail."
"Then handed it over to me."
"Which item?", he asks.
"The lint or the bulb?"
"That's for you to decide."
"For extra credit, predict when the bulb burns out."
How the truth sometimes hurts.
For he loves us, and we love Him.
Faithfully digesting a breakfast sermon
Hard garlic salami, and dried prunes.
Oh , dear Paul.
Why was Moses punished?
He loves us.
In spite of our gas masks.
Even blesses our vents.
Just look at me.
I,m sure we meet before.
I,m wearing the inspector Klusoe badge.
Hiding near the back row.
Wearing an "Eddie Haskell", smile.
No mask , though, I,m tough.
I sure would like to tattle, on that darn kid.
Carefully rolling his perfect round gum wad.
Leaving it at the front door.
Tattle on that old fogy.
Hiding a re-cycled stogy.
Near the front bush.
About anybody unannounced,
Can bounce-in, these days!
Hard-core corporate sinners.
Hard working, making this world better?
With what thanks?
To greet the other side in hell?
If we don,t get to them.
Perhaps us as well.
Without Grace.
Sure would like to tattle,
On those arriving at the last minute.
Budgeting time, to edit a grocery list.
Tattle?, to Who?
Tattle on ladies, so easily upset.
If the closing clock, past noon strikes.
They must sell powerfully minted cookies.
Serving such a needed feast.
Considering whats for breakfast.
Dear Jesus, can you explain?
Why you cursed the fig branch?
So Our sports fans can understand?
Boy would I ever like to tattle,
On that little, freckled faced girl.
Sneaking in her kitten.
Us listening, to penetrating competitive "Meows."
"We are the cats meow."
"Not hippo-critters."
So please join Us.
123 altogether sing.
"We love Him."
"We love them."
They love Us."
"Love"," one-another."
Sounds absolutely crazy, doesn't it?
When money becomes a man’s greatest motivation,
timely treasures metamorphose into timeless temptation...
his desire to be richer than others will be the foundation
upon which he will build the castles of corruption.
When reckless rodents become the rulers of a great nation,
they preen in the pomp of power, prejudice and perdition...
And in their boisterous bid to win the next general elections;
they mortgage the future fortune of unborn generations.
A nation without a definite destination needs no direction...
to such, every side attraction becomes a source of distraction.
Since manners and morals were murdered by modernization...
Common crimes have become the core creed of our civilization.
“Change begins with me” is our new national salutation,
let every man carry out a mental environmental sanitation.
Politicians should embark on a socioeconomic disinfection...
Budgeting billions to milk millions should go into extinction.
Investors should put service before profit maximization,
Consumers should put need before undue satisfaction.
Family and societal values should be given optimum attention...
We do not need to re-brand a product still under construction.
If political offices continue to be a juicy platter and position
for the few to get economic and financial domination...
We should put the change-chains in the right direction,
Change begins when chain beckons on terrifying traditions.
It was a mistake to take home economics out of the curriculum at so many high schools, says Wally, a retired teacher who has an ongoing interest in education. He taught high school for many years and still misses his students.
At a Walmart recently there was an incident Wally can’t forget. It pained him deeply because it made him think about the quality of high school education today. He’s not convinced it is what it should be at many schools.
He was standing near the dairy case when a young man, not long out of high school, held up a package of margarine and asked Wally if it was butter. Wally at first thought he was kidding but then said it wasn’t butter, that it was margarine.
The young man wanted to know the difference between butter and margarine. Wally told him butter comes from cows and margarine has a vegetable base. The young man turned to his two friends and said, “I’m glad we asked.” They smiled, thanked Wally and headed for the register, margarine in hand.
A week later Wally was at a local charity making a donation and was told the charity had quit giving baskets of food at Christmas after learning several clients had tried to pan fry a turkey. Now they give gift certificates instead.
At the charity Wally also learned that many young people today don’t know how to cook vegetables or fry bacon and eggs. And more than a few have no idea about budgeting or nutrition.
Wally thinks this reflects poorly on secondary education today. When he taught high school, home economics was taught and students who didn’t learn the basics from their parents at home could learn them at school in home economics, even though it was not a required course. Now he thinks it should be, at least for the many who seem to need it.
He says young people today know a lot about cell phones and computers but sadly some of them don’t know the difference between butter and margarine or how to cook a turkey.
A semester of home economics, he says, might help change that. He wonders if a lot of Advanced Placement courses are that important if young people can't fix themselves something to eat. Sandwiches and fast food, he agrees, do not a good diet make.

They say we are the memories of the past
We calculate every detail like a husk
We hear numbers as music to the ears
We seek the answers like monstrous spears
I’ll tell you, we love to balance everything
From small to large amount of budgeting.
To analyzing every detail of a balance sheet
To overviewing that written check slip
Precision and accuracy is our friend.
We must always close the year end,
But make sure all the figures are tally
So we can begin with no calamity
Let me say that our value don’t depreciate.
Our time is critically tailored to cooperate
Show true value to how company should fit
Devise a plan to avoid loss and bring profit
I still get nervous, so I tend to stumble.
The thing is you aren’t a number.
But I’d like to be your company
Heck I’d even invest all my time you’ll see
The true income is hidden on the expense;
Increase performance and have patience.
Convert all working capital into an asset
See your liability like a duel to a cricket
It’s either to end in revenue or loss,
Regardless you must see thru all the cause.
They say don’t invest in a single basket
I say, believe and work for it to sky rocket
Remember that dreams, will be just dreams
Until we adjust our entries against fears
No judging, just loving
No hurting, just living
No budgeting, just pricing
No nudging, just longing
No huffing, just climbing
No shifting, just lounging
No action, just waiting
There are times when God allows His heirs
to experience problems in life
in order to test their faith.
If they lack resources,
Good solution is
to learn proper
budgeting
and be
wise.
M-aking both ends meet
S-eems difficult to achieve,
G-iving a hard time.

Climate change
is to unitarian instincts
as global terrorism
is to universal resonance.
Voting for Trumpian terrors
as a vote for change
to drain Washington's swamp
is one of the confusions of our ecopolitical lexicon,
allowing a pathological climate against healthy change
when we need a healthy climate for stabilizing
swamps in their best ecosystemic places
and capital city re-investments
in our diverse creolizing ecopolitical spaces.
Climate therapies urgently needed
for stabilizing creolic chaotic swamps
in their better and healthier locations,
presumably no longer to include Washington
or Moscow,
are therapies of 0-core bicameral mindfulness
and internal/external co-arising peace.
Budgeting and planning to invest
in more and ever more military offensive change
is not a healthy wealth of defensive strategy.
Calling military offense our strongest defense
does not make a terrorizing offensiveness
more politically or economically palatable climate choice.
Militaristic
nationalistic offensiveness
is to change our swampy climate of jingoistic cheap patriotism
by growing it into a fear-mongering Colossus,
not draining us out and in past Lady Liberty's beacon Promise.
Our commercial and commodified Trumpian cities
have sold us
what they have told us
we must industriously want to ecopolitically buy.
But, that does not change
universal and unitarian truths,
distinctions between climate health
and ecopolitical landscapes of pathology.
Selling climate change denial and ever more military offense
further accelerates our global climate of now critical illness,
which is unjustly the opposite
of climate therapy
beginning within each and every
0-sum WinWin polypathic heart
and nondual mindbody
co-arising internal
toward external
ego-peace informing eco-justice.
Climates change
therapeutic unitarian instincts
as global terrorism
scares the patriarchal pants off
naked universal-matriarchal resonance.
Keeping the Wolf Away From the Door
By Elton Camp
Who has seen hard economic times like these
Few of us are still able to spend as we please
Even those with jobs feel they’re not so steady
So to take on needless debt sure aren’t ready
It is very risky for most of us to invest in stock
But the low return on our savings is a bad shock
To fund our retirement we are told to be saving,
But the world all around us seems to be caving
And adding to the economic woes like these,
Many desirable jobs have been moved overseas
Another problem is illegal aliens who are able
To work cheap if they’re paid under the table
What can we do to repel that wolf from the door?
There’s a need for discipline as never seen before
It seems advisable to cut such expenses as we can
And work out and use a sensible budgeting plan
Schooled in hard knock sufferance... -
soulful scribe matt er fact - seeks solemn sanctuary
Despite always pledging
allegiance to the flag
academic performance traced, narrated,
graphed... unfavorable zigzag
vertical lined spikes across
x-axis and y-axis displayed
dramatically sharper increased crag
when promoted one grade to the next
how comprehension did lag
attributed to allocating, dag
gone nabbit budgeting, crafting... productive
time usage, plus an affirmative nod,
whereby yours truly did lallygag
evincing object lesson procrastination
study habits shucked off cuz mum did nag
obfuscation regarding illegible note taking
I moost definitely haint gonna brag.
Deplorable curriculum vitae
not hearty and hale
equals pathetic academic performance
now displeases me,
yours truly did wanna fail
no matter parents told me, I got smarts
severe psychological dissonance
affected this male
in retrospect,... a tell tale
sign everyday existence
arduous, horrendous, perilous...
lifelong struggle analogous to quail
caught between cross hairs
tis pointless foregone opportunities... assail
self pointless, hence no surprise
metaphor locked within jail.
Report cards highlighted
plethora weaknesses bred
teachers exhausted markers
especially black red
spent small fortune replacing
regarding this jughead,
who practically proved deficiencies
prevailed within his head
arising and undoubtedly stead
dully contributing living
antisocially he approximated
being gratefully dead.
Search for acceptance during harrow
wing during formative years absolute zero
earning michelin equivalent laughing stock,
where mummified pharaoh
each arose out sarcophagus (cue Thriller -
Michael Jackson), a hero
cash equalling cow Jackson 5 era
before disgraced pedofile,
now keeps company with Nero
roman around within underworld
plus disembodied spirit Clarence Darrow,
who scopes, karaokes,
moonwalks... with monkeys.
Sundry dead souls heave pens, gogol,
and trumpet like Donald duck,
their afterlife I envy mingling sui generis
versus yours truly down on his luck
dismal flying colors
analogous to mire and muck
no man iz an island, yours truly isthmus
squeezing thru narrow passing lane,
this bummer doth aimlessly truck
this late bloomer summoning forth
long suppressed pluck.
Patience, dedication, determination and trust
Living, survival, these are a must
Budgeting, spending, credit or cash
Money, careers, decisions are rash
Marriages, funerals, family affairs
Adoptions, abortions, abductions, all there
Murdering, rapes, in alleys of streets
Mothers of victims, hearing those weeps
The world has become a stranger to me
No longer can safety save humanity
So now I shall choose to lock up my door
Hide from this world I no longer adore
To my dear friends upon this site,

That we can learn from one another.
So please share your tips with me,
I am not being funny.
You can find me at [email protected].
I’m waiting to hear from you,
So please don’t take too long.
If you give a man a fish he can eat for a day but
If you teach him how to fish he will have fish for a life time….
I am in love with words,
I crave for these,
I feel hunger for these words,
These are mine current assets,
I prepare budget to work on these, how can i increase my inventory, where can i spend so these can be double or tripple unequivocally.
Martin Luther King,
and other gospel reared nonviolent communications leaders,
advocated for "Beloved Communities."
An important difference between Beloved and Opulent may have to do with integrity,
intimacy,
interior grace of sacred loved place
in opulent EarthTribe enriching space.
I hope that any ego-centering and re-centering relationship of love may become embraced by warmly interdependent ecosystemic surroundings, supporting bioregionally polycultural opulence,
resonance,
expanding out into sacred green and red and blue and yellow and orange and purple and turquoise non-violent resilience.
Opulent polyculturing communities learn to minimize win/lose competitive health risks by optimizing wealthy, resilient win/win opportunities.
Intent and planning and budgeting and cooperative design work
play mini-retreats to richly engage compassionate communication, verbal narratives, as residents feel safe in mutual transparency,
rooted in nonverbal beloved feelings, co-empathically polytheistic,
for and from wildly green wiki win/win womanist allies.
Emerging from chronically stressed, opulent pearls of indigenous wisdom, ancient sacred overwhelming waves of ecstatic emotions inspire today's interdependent opulent spell-binding synergetic experiences.
Jesus's Holy Spirit openly, quietly, shadow GoldenRules again.
Sacred experiences range from
middling win/lose images of stressed humane/divine relationships of passive mistrust;
then down through traumatic monoculturing, monotheistic, monopolistic stressed despairing lack of relationship;
and then soaring to heights of win/win beloved ego core soul centers and ecosystemic healthy and safe multicultural opulence.
An illusion of Beloved EgoPrivilege becomes mountainously hierarchical Yang from above, peak patriarchal-capitalist engorgement experience.
Meanwhile Opulent EcoParadise engages ecologically enthymematic regenerative tissues
with degenerative issues
unresolved by bipolar illusions against Yang's privileged autonomy, dominance,
like right handedness
and logical verbal mindedness
and not self-abandoned nakedness
cooperative pleasure
copassionate joy.

As statement publish in decade denial of capital interest.
Steps taken to save the world otherwise circumstances crush in decay.
Ruled out simple prevention as the cost of delivering to savor in cost of capital
gain.
No rules strict enough in pen ship of lawyer and budgeting accountant.
In balance sheet continue to withdraw and worries thrown market.
Pray of saving the world without rejoiced as diminish in each day.
Madness locked in approval being watch in running banners in screens.
Simply jump in motion of lost or gain boils in middle accruing a report.
In wave of destruction hold its magnet sensless judged in given state.
In history of self destruction of bribe all sucrifice in nuisance recall to abide its
shame
Pay the pave turn off its self in climate believe to secure in love of share.
