Best Finer Poems

We’re lucky to have a math-whiz kid
And one day this is what he did.

He said we all know about going number two
Now I’ve sorted out the decimals too.

First, there’s the basic, number two
Which chiefly, is going to the loo

Yet there should be a, two-point-one
Which is...

The finer things in life are not diamonds and pearls
But desire a good reputation and the principled life.
Think about it, my friend, not all of those glitzy girls
Are ultimately as desirable as a faithful, loving wife.

But desire a good reputation and the principled life,
Cherishing virtue...

There was a time
I saw my mother's hands and
noticed quite a difference
between hers and mine
hers were fine
soft and smooth
with lovely nails, refined

While mine-
so rough and dried
no lotion could soothe or hide
the blisters and the callouses
while hers were fit for palaces
mine were like a scullery maid's
accustomed...

It's funny the simple pleasures recounted in life
all manner of wonders reminisced I'll miss most.. 
though list grows shorter with each passing day  
thoughts align in proper time as desires sway
storm bent trees, sunsets, a child's laughter,    
and chicken salad on...

We wake up every day with the realization that we're waiting to die

Life is short, depression is long

I guess that's what makes us writers and poets, to escape the fear others have of the our time we have 

We as writers and poets and people...

Come, let us together consider the finer things
Like mystical pyramids and fringed silk scarves
Stones that bring comfort to the aching bone
Intricate ebony statues the lonely man carves,
A secluded stroll through a shaded pine grove
The glimmer of a blue diamond in natural light,
Warm feelings borne of...

Life is good but can subject one to a rape
the most agile can become the next dying Ape.

Poverty exhibits its victims in awful display
who work so hard but to achieve a trophy made of clay.

In desperate search, still far is this opened door
never giving up,...

Once denied the finer things in life
    admitted to aesthete's circles

  Be the concert snare drum and fife

The finer things you can always receive,
It not what you think but what you perceive.
The things you want can come to you,
If to yourself you always remain true.

The finer things I haven’t gotten yet.
The future unfolds with what you’ll get.
It shall be yours to have...

Champagne kisses and caviar dreams these are a few of my favorite things
butler to pick up my phone when it rings 
parakeets to sing to me 
service at the snap of my fingers
the finer things in life are often exotic splendors 
far off the smell...

If I were the fairest and finest of all the finer
Could about myself come up with a crazy one liner?

My Finer Days Always

I have traveled far, shore to shore,
from Hawaii to that of Maine,
Florida's fun, to northwest rain,
some of my finer days of yore.

My choice of work hailed me further,
a people person came to be,
The White House to queens, all met me,
rock and film...

Fastidious gildings must dot your mien:
Sizzling lips that ooze unbridled charm,
And a neck sleekest with angelic luster
To daze the eye and sun a smitten arm. 

Still deeper graces beyond corporeal eye
Shall your gold’s stoutest bulwarks prove:
A mind pliable into another’s loftier ideal,
A heart malleable to...

Comparisons are unerring things at worst; 
Every common ore yielded for shinier gold, 
And tepid junkets given up in apt forfeiture
For tolerably pricier carats unsullied stored. 

Far less treasured lots perpetually stand
In shrouded paths to more pleasing deal, 
And more often than not emit lures...
