Best Do A One Eighty Poems

You say things that are really mean
I say that I'm still pretty lean
You say I'm fat and that's unfounded
I say I'm not fat, just well rounded
You say my big waist makes me look like a clown
I say that's not my waist, my chest fell down
You...

When I was just a little boy,
Attending Sunday school,
The story of Methuselah
Outshined the golden rule.

He was just like Rip Van Winkle,
A kind old gentleman,
Who lived more than nine hundred years;
The oldest living man.

And so I closed my story book,
Assumptions grew from there.
I wrote an ending...

How big is this great universe?
How far do the stars traverse?
Let us think in terms of sunbeams’
Travel-time on the photon streams.

Beams seen from Pluto at night
Take five-and-a-half-hours at the speed of light.
Just think of crossing the Milky Way
In a rate-per-second of one-eighty-six K,

Would take thousands...

I knew a man who always traveled,
 he worked hard and was ever on the go.
He said that he would like to own property,
 a Squire or Country Gentleman, as you may know.

I could not believe it,
 as one day he came with cash in...

One-eighty billion dollars one man has, they say.
It is outrageously obscene when once you know
half the global populace earns two bucks a day. 

Due to lack of healthcare; they have no way to pay;
ten-thousand people every day will die, although
one-eighty billion dollars one man has,...

 a rant?

No twelve-step indulgent spree
for getting over you.
She’s forgetting in a hurry,
two steps will have to do.

First, she will handle her grief
spinning one-eighty degrees,
one short cry and she’s debriefed.
Mission accomplished with ease.

Next, she’ll deal with her revenge
after all, she’s human too.
Hundred-to-one you’ll come unhinged
when...

The airport is packed, and the lines are long,
Reminiscing about the days when standing for hours was nothing when you were young.
A volunteer comes and pulls a few away to go to the next one—
Times like these used to be so much fun.

You finally cross...

You know that feeling,
The one you get 
Filled with pain, 
And heart break.
No, not the one
You feel in the 
Pit of your stomach.
No this is the feeling,
That grips your heart
With complete defeat, 
And total anguish.
I’m left alone again,
Abandoned by the one
Who truly knows me!
Best friends...

Cont…”Bill Jump in my car it’s closer!”  Bill was just a step behind Brick as they hurdled 
over the tape barrier and raced to Brick’s car.
     “You got it pardner! Don’t stop or I’ll be in your hip pocket! ...

I must call everything into question
now that you’ve smugly done your one-eighty,
mistrust your most innocent suggestion,
and find your lightest of motives weighty.

I see in a new and much harsher light
that what I took for truth was just an act,
and I must review with improved hindsight
what...

Irma
 Franklin Price
9/7/2017

Irma came to terrorize
Spawned in the East Atlantic
Intensity as never seen
She's something quite Satanic

Became a category five
Before she touched the shore
With winds above one eighty
Around the wall and more

Came into the Leewards
Destroyed Barbuda Isle
Buildings, trees and autos
Left them rubble in a pile

What about...

Split two razors and a line of coke
Exhale the dimes and swallow the smoke
Nine-twenty-one, eighty-six
Gamble my life like lottery picks
Cry tears of blood and see what your god does
Bringing future problems
To those who so desperately want to solve them
And to think that I could be...

At ten, I have composure to maintain
At nine, I know the chance is all but mine
At eight, I beat back fears and thoughts of a one-eighty
At seven, I am at sixes and sevens
At six, I draw my know-how and pull all of my tricks
At five,...
