Best Buyer Poems

Ted hunted high and low when trying to find the perfect wife
She must be subservient and fit in with his mundane life

The Internet looked promising to find a mail order bride,
and soon a special lady could be standing by Ted’s side

The catalogue was full, brides...

A Passerbyer or a Buyer

You will love this place and am not a liar
Whey be passerbyer but become a buyer
Whole lot great green belt does surround
House and lot are like heaven you have found.

House rests is on cul-de-sec a dead end street
When my magnificent house...

he sold a lot from lies he told
the same he sold to men of old:
for him to sell
some lies we tell.

Abundance bought to wither sure
To lie about my age for fame
To lie along the rakes for shame

And when discovered I a...

Diamond earrings and other glittery things
can cause the heart to pop and ping

To find an item at a bargain price

A half-price car Reginald got
But had to meet in a parking lot

“Cash only,” the seller did say
He’d mail the car title right away

Buyer Beware 
David J Walker

The Earth is our patient host
And we are the guests
Feasting freely in a full pantry  
Steeling the linen

Paths after paths
No end of the paths there are
Stoppage out of the dictionary of earthly paths
 
Day enters into the night, night discovers day
Kinematograph feels tired for continuity of time
 
My wandering with the white cloud
Under the sun of the day...

The annual Christmas Bazaar is tomorrow
In a country village not far from my home,
Joy and glee casting out all seasonal sorrow
The annual Christmas Bazaar is tomorrow,
Quickly to the bank some cash, I’ll borrow
A few days later to feel a tinge of sorrow
My budget stretched by...
