Best Gettin Poems

In the words of the great Bard, "Alas".
But enough of Shakespeare my friends.
For it has come to pass
That half a century and yet five more
Years that is, not my cricket score.
Have gone beneath the bridge of life.  (Albeit that it was meant to be...

It’s getting chilly here,
Keep on all your clothes.
The days are getting shorter,
Thirty two degrees here.

Leaves are changing fast.
Swirling in the air.
Snow is not far away,
I can smell it in the air.

Winter is pretty and white, 
Also dark and long.
Do things--get out—u must
Or you may go...

How you know you're gettin old,
and there isn't any doubt!
It's when to start to go to bed,
at a time you once went out!

Aging brings on changes,
and remember this indeed!
Once you're over the "so called hill"
time begins to pick up speed!

I have a funny feelin,
and I'm...

He plays the music loud
I'm not annoyed
I'm looking forward
to dancing with him

I am writing to tell you
I can't wait to dance with him

He dances so elegant
he taught me to dance
elegant
and he's waiting
  
I needed to tell someone
how he makes me feel

He raises the hair...

I’m at a loss
Why Betsy DeVos
Wants money for weapons in school.
Though she is the boss
Her thoughts come across
As those (to my ears) of a fool.

For federal cash
From Congress’ stash
Is meant more for teachers and books
And guns seem to clash
With the aim of that cache,
Which should...

i'm saved
God, by you
you take away the razor
you take away the selfish
God, I have called on you
You always show up
But, you know, you are
never what I expect
You are in my face
you, YOU are in my face
illuminating my haste
and I, I don't sometimes get it

I heard that there was rain
over your way...
a downpour.
Cats and dogs tumbling
from the sky,
dropping into pools of blood
onto the pavement
just beneath your window---
the likes of which, 
never been seen round your parts!

Grandma says that
when it rains like that,
"Gawd's workin".
And we must sit still
and quiet, til
He's...

Yeah.
I see nothin
and feel nothin
But i dont care becuase thats somethin.
Imma keep pushin till im gone.
Here and there i made a wrong turn.
But thats life.
Shell cut you deep with her knife.
Just got left alone and cold, and now my mind will swirl.
I got left for...

Get myself together
get a change of atmoshere
never mind the weather
only we can do this here
don't say you love me
when nothing you say is true
you and I together
starts with me and you

Friend of mine
someone to respect
nothing here but
but lies
and regrets
spats and fusses
got us seperated
