Best Discount Poems

Had a chicken dinner in a restaurant last night
Asked the waitress for discount coz we were so nice
She looked quite amazed
Figured I was a bit crazed
Said, “Pay or the cops will be crawling the place”...

Intelligence, it seems, is very expensive.
It makes you work to gain advantage.
It makes you pay to find success. 
It’s the law of supply and demand.
To learn, one must also be willing to lose.
The scarcity of human resources,
Even in a world of eight billion souls,
Requires that...

One-third off,
sixty-six percent marked down quality
At the voting booth bazaar,
base gypsy thoughts are belly dancing 
around your capitalist-veiled head
You like what that smiling politician said;
promising you a lot of green bread,
come get your lying share
Saying you gon have so many job offers,
corporate courting you to...

I have Geritol at half price
The tamper proof has only been breached twice
Viagra for you real go getters
B12 for Telemarketers aka appointment setters
Come on kids, help me out with my supply
Raid Grandpa and Grandma's medicine cabinet, I will pay top dollar for all I buy
Some...

A DISCOUNT

May I share the story of a man  
Who for a maiden emptied his barn
And for clarity her name is Anne 
And her hair smooth like yarns

May I share the story of my kinsman
Who for a maiden traded a cow for a lantern
And...

The industrial hull of the SUV 
Sways with the slightest wind taps 
And pothole shoves. Popeye’s signs, 
Golden shell displays, the lingering smell 
Of Premium-grade gasoline. 
The prices are Down, but our gas meter still 
teeters closely, Dangerously, just inches away 
from zero. Still, we...

I'm Bald headed-have piss yellow teeth
don't use balm or whiteners to appear young again 
every scar is a jagged path to a novella called living. 
Cursed and blessed with a good heart
wild horse temperament that's bucked most riders off.
Loyal to a fault for the few...

(This is a fictional poem)

While we were shopping, you tried to steal a bracelet that was worth a lot.
But before you could get out of the store, you got caught.
They thought I was an accessory so they prosecuted me as well.
I'm mad because you got...

Discount Justice

I go to the store, 
there is a paper…
It is meant to sell me things. 
Most items I need, 
some I want, 
others are on SALE.

A coupon is cut from
this same sheet, 
It is a promise, 
of goods,
of services, 
of excellence,
and loyalty,
appreciation. 

Yes… they...

People entering Giant Tiger usually have grey hair
It's something to do with the tattered clothes they wear
Bank accounts are smaller
They have dwindling dollars
A mask solves the problem of being recognized there...

Today I rode into Tucson
Determined to buy a new futon
A squirt in a skirt
Got down in the dirt
And flashed me a discount coupon...

There’s no amount
Which does not count
In an account…

Yep, no amount
Sellers discount
And while recount
Your whole story 
Fail to glory:
Place in praised sky
For being Quite High…

Don’t pressures mount
After discount
For more from Fount
Or self soon count
The Badly Bluffed,
His wish rebuffed…

Discounts fetch smiles;
Who gave went miles!...
