Best Get Down To It Poems
They altered her name to match with his'.
They changed her biological parents to avoid interclan.
Everyone said that it's customary and she has to get down to it.
She quivered like a withered leaf on a cold winter's night - couldn't escape the chillness.
"The Forest, The Lot and The Carpetbagger"
In the middle
of it all, in
The Forest,
I was asked
by a soothsayer
to choose
a number
1, 2 or 3.
I said
in all sincerity,
“that’s a bad number, 3.
someone always feels
left out discarded; now
if you get down to it,
about playing cards,
well 1,
is rather obscure,
concealed,
not easily expressed,
or understood,
no fun, just 1,
waiting for the deal
to be delivered,
to be done,
you could wait forever,
as just number 1, where's
the fun in the dance
as the unknown, unseen
stoic 1."
So I chose 2,
me and my shadow
2, I’d bring the
other with me
like a pair of
socks, well matched
walking off the page
walking off
win-win
with the shining
light, the payload,
the winnings,
the lot, at end of day
like a carpetbagger,
when fortune
tempts fate
walking its
very very fine line,
Risk asks for the payoff
and in exchange,
for trust and faith,
the long night
and dreary day
over all are saved;
opportunity knocks,
the door opens
it is now
unlocked,
I walk through,
poetically speaking,
I manifest the lot.

"An Event Destined to Happen in Your Lifetime"/White Feather Tarot
Animals remarkably deal with life and death situations.
They seem to have this unique ability to quickly move on,
and perhaps we could all learn a lesson from them.
When you get down to it, you only really have two options.
You can medically and emotionally surrender to your cancer problem,
or like an animal, you fight like hell and continue surviving.
Cancer is just a word, it isn't a sentence.
In your battle keep telling yourself this over and over again.
Never Give Up! Never Stop Fighting!
Look at cancer as your prey and not you as cancer's victim,
and before you know it you'll bring cancer to its well deserved end.
Get down to it now,
Work without time in your mind,
Put the effort in.
Kim Kardashian’s weight
why
the
****
do
we
as
a
species
give
a
****
about
Kim
Kardashian’s
weight
while
pregnant?
why do we care about her ****ing weight while she was
not with child?
why do we care about Kim ****ing Kardashian at all?
she has been labeled a “socialite,”
she has been labeled a “television personality”---
um,
let’s just get down to it…
WOULD WE EVEN KNOW HER NAME
IF IT WASN’T FOR THE FACT THAT GUYS WANT
TO **** HER?
would we even know her name, if it wasn’t for her big
ass,
that much like Jennifer Lopez’s,
has been talked of as if it had a zip code of its own?
there had been rumors that Lopez got her ass insured,
because of its great worth…
there are rumors that Jennifer Love Hewitt is thinking about
getting her breasts insured…
this is the world we live in america,
this is what the empire does on the inside
while we beat other countries senseless &
force them to walk, talk & act like us on the
outside…
think of the time,
think of the effort,
think of the money,
think of the jobs involved,
all to get a picture of Kim Kardashian on the magazine cover,
on the website blurb,
on the television program…
just to talk of how much she weighs
while pregnant,
as if she had contributed
anything
at
all,
whatsoever,
to our advancement as a species,
besides being a goddamn doorknob…
and then in unison,
throw up.
Gordon Aikman was the director of research,
For the Better Together campaign for the vote,
For the Scottish Referendum so as to search,
Folks hearts until they opted for the unity coat.
Diagnosed with MND June 2014 he immediately,
Wrote about this in The Scotsman regional,
And popularised the MND bucket challenge icy,
By raising the need for research, conditional.
In speeches and articles he gives the simple truth,
That a cure for MND will only be realised and found,
If more research is done, if we get in the booth,
Which necessitates more money being given around.
We have the answer, with a little bit if work,
If we put some effort in and get down to it,
There will be no MND sufferers to just lurk,
In the future there’ll be no cases by MND hit.
God is not in the equation, he has no edifice,
Gordon puts medicine and care as salvation,
Doctors speak the truth and are the kind face,
To sufferers in need of love and consideration.
Deciding upon your beliefs starts here, with this,
With what the body means and its elevation,
And accepting that doctors save, have the fizz,
Makes you sane and able to give in edification.
Urban nightfall and dreams grow in the city
This town has proven to show little pity
To live here you need a very hard shell
At times the place resembles a portion of hell
Yet there are dreamers here who deserve much better
So get down to it, and write a letter
"To whomever is listening" no matter how far
City dwellers seek love in many a bar
Drink loosens the tongue and makes us brave
So before you begin to become a slave
to passion or gin better make your decision
This poem I present to you with little revision
Whammer, jammer, ball peen hammer
angry clamor, makes me stammer
outside, inside, up and down
fake a smile and make a frown
ram it, lam it, ding dong damn it
jamb the door and loudly slam it
beat it hard and beat it fast
beat it like it like you beat the past
rip it, screw it, get down to it
bite it, chew it, tear right through it
leave it bleeding, leave it there
on the floor without a care
beating slow, but beating still
my feeble heart, my iron will
Alpharhymitize
(the first alpharhymized poem – by definition)
By Franklin Price
2/26/2017
Alpharhymitize - I think I've coined a word
Because it is most likely, one that you have never heard
Can you think about it? Have you heard this word or not?
Don't believe it is a thing, thought I'd give this word a shot
Each word has an origin, thought I'd give this one a go
For you to make one also, just think and make it so
Get in your mind, a thought or two, a new word you can make
Have a definition also, to make some sense, for goodness sake
I don't really give a crap if it's stupid or it's quaint
Just don't present it as a new word, if you know it really ain't
Kangaroo is taken, so is aboriginal digeridoo
Look elsewhere to find another, to find something that is new
May find it as a new name for a plant or element
Not always found on purpose, some are found by accident
Only by trial and error, can you make a word that's new
Preposterous or simple, it is something you can do
Quit trying hard and slow down, you will find it in your head
Remembering is very hard, you should write it down instead
Simple words or hard ones, are for you to perceive
Then go and find some other folks, whom you can make believe
Unless you bring the word up front, and bring it to the fore,
Very unlikely, it will be used, that you will make the score
When you have coined a brand new word and put it on the page
Xerox some copies, send them out, tweet to make it all the rage
You will never know, unless you see how it will fit
Zero will always happen, if you don't get down to it
Alpharhymitize – to compose a rhyming poem beginning the first line with “A” and each subsequent line with the next letter of the alphabet until “Z” begins the last line. Poem must rhyme in couplets.
The Media
By Franklin Price
2/21/2016
The Media is quite confused
Finding they can't make the news
The internet's ahead of them
And their lopsided views
Some media Republican
Some are Democrat
The truth is in the middle
Where society is at
The internet will give us news
Eventually the truth
By the time we get down to it
Will be much longer in the tooth
Social sites simply satisfy
Common curiosity
Personal preponderance presented
For other members there to see
Doesn't mean that truth is found
When common ground sought
Just someone else believes the same
We've found ones with common thought
Don't blindly trust the social sites
Or reported news that's slanted
For if it's found, it's not the truth
It's easily recanted
I've become a ruddy thumb twiddler
Checking out the box called “in”
Haven't eaten properly for days and days
Starting to look a little bit thin
Not obsessed with accolades though
The small talk is what I'm missing
Okay I fudged that just a tad wee bit
I do crave the hugging and kissing
But when you really get down to it
We pay for all this smooching
To receive a pant load of happiness
Gotta do a little hoochy cooing
So I'm no longer gonna jazz you
You guy's have nailed me cold
Poetry is second to friendships
Worth more than its weight in gold

Daddy’s dead
My mother rushed in to tell me to get it over with
I sit thinking about how I never knew the man
My dad was not a God
But he wanted to love me good
I wonder why
I had to lose him at such a young age
I cried in the night
Looking back on the things we never did
Way back then
Way back again
But his funeral wasn't so sad
Everyone was pleased to know the man
And I smiled as they smiled
And laughed along too
We celebrated his will and his whimsy
He never hurt someone intentionally
But things that were so nice
Will stay alive
And when I look way back again
When I really get down to it
It’s like I’m beginning to breathe again
I laugh in the night
Hoping my kids can love me too
And hoping my friends
Can think of me great to the bittersweet end
If then I think my life
Was so great, I wouldn't have to think twice
(DEDICATED TO PAT HINGLE WHO DIED JANUARY 3, 2009.)
He was very talented and he had many fans.
He starred as Commissioner Gordon in Batman.
When he guest starred on the Andy Griffith Show, everybody laughed.
He nearly died in 1960 when he fell down an elevator shaft.
He starred in Hang 'Em High and in Sudden Impact.
It was a sad day when he died and that's a fact.
When you get down to it, he was a great guy.
Now many people are sad because they have to say goodbye.

Graduation time is here,
It's time to kick it into to gear.
We got to shape up,
Because it's going to be tough.
We cannot run from it,
We cannot hide.
So we got to suck it up and take pride.
Pride that we are done,
Pride that we made it.
Pride that we can go be successful,
And pride that we are going to be all that we can.
There is Graduation Hesitation,
In each and every one of us.
You eventually have to do it,
So lets just get down to it.
When it becomes Graduation Day,
And when you walk across that stage,
When you get that diploma,
Be sure to be thankful to everyone.
Everyone who has been there for you,
Everyone who has been true.
Everyone who cares,
And everyone who is there.
Graduation Hesitation is here,
If we try our best together,
We can all beat this fear.
So lets join together.
The time has come.
It's Graduation.
We are finally done.
