Best Greenbacks Poems


Premium Member Set your greenbacks loose'

I must here expound of ( the Bradbury pound ) so bear with
Me 'soupers' and even share this around..How treasury notes, can any Nation re-deem, its a ladder to exit your
Countrys debt;  (thats obscene!) And your treasury's know full
Well how' debt free funds can be put' into action yet the
W E F does not want them to open that book.) How your
Green back dollers are wilting; wasting away..' So i advise you to do
Your research and get your 'emails or even letters off today'
For in Britian a barrage of such soon begins.' Call on
Your representatives to (expose the treasury's sins) 
rachel reeves, in the U K, is to be called to explain' why Britian is stuck in a debt trap..It will soon be given her plain.'
And the same in America, in Australia in the world.' Why not
Recognise our debt free assets.?? Its time insanity is
Adjourned.! Or better still cancelled..Like the bi-monthly
Trips to ( Basel again in switzerland ) strange? that country
Never takes a hit !! Yet most countrys reserve bosses go
There time and again.' Where they take un-recorded instructions
( on keeping countrys in schtuk ) with impunity and rapaciousness these ( un-known ?) banksters plan raids..
Boosted by war fundings hook.. Its really that grave.' Like evil
Funeral directors they appear to be moved, by such acts in
Bergen belsen or aushwitz; or many such places so cruel'
They profit from sympathy..And plan the next scheme be
It covid or monkey pox? Or there was thelat 'dark winter theme? Yet there is an antidote ( and its you; people you!!)
So get cracking with the emails..' and you'll finally break
Through.) Break through to financial stability and a world
Of less pain.?? Its all now.! Or never' (Or be happy with nothing )
Just let that sink into.' our brains.)

dang,
grandma    was a real hubba bubba-
killer-diller
khaki wacky   boycrazygirl

a spiffy    hot damn    hoofer

during the dark hours of WWII
and the devastation
followed with
unrestrainedjubibilation
beat me daddy eight to the bar

grandma    was a real hubba bubba-

franksinatracrooner
singing     grandma put on her stompers
she was a babydoll            soppysappysharp

a spiffy    hot damn    hoofer

worked in a factory
building partsforairplanes   for the boys
no siree bob      she was not     giving up her job
she had
dreams
a white picket fence
in the
      boondocks

grandma was-
             a spiffy
                   hot damn
                              hoofer

no gobbledygook    she told great stories
of what it was like
after the war     forthetroops    and all
pin-up girls    like Marilyn Munroe
Elvis
Roy Orbison
Jerry Lee Lewis
         drive-ins
         fancy wheels     ovaltine

casablanca  goingmyway  its a wonderful life
for whom the bell tolls  earnesthemmingway
it was a time of       attitude

no fuddy-duddy    she had the gams
met grandpa     doingtheswing
they had no lettuce   moolah   greenbacks
but they   

        were over the top 
                   stuck on     glued
bonkers in love      oh grandma had 
no fear of saying hi-de-ho
he said      hey sugar are you rationed

dang 
grandma     was a real hubba bubba-
killer-diller
kacky wacky      boycrazygirl

Premium Member Ants In Your Pants

Ever wonder why we giggle
How exactly does it start
What makes it uncontrollable
Perhaps it's a silly fart

You see a goofy stranger
Like a dude from outer space
Before you can say Frank N. Stein
You're falling on your face

Giggles are quite intangible
You can't buy them at the store
Worth buckets full of greenbacks
Some gold and so much more

You're in a state of euphoria
Trying to stay calm but can't
It's a tonic for whatever ails you
When ants get in your pants

Ever wonder why we giggle
How exactly does it start
They say it's very good for the soul
And does wonders for your heart

Jaded Love

Vase of red roses instead of 
fondue
Gilding my White Lilly not pudging 
with stew
Cache of sterling poems rendered
In lieu, greenbacks not tendered
Blue carnation her jaundiced face 
to clue

The Man In the Waistcoat

West coast, east coast 
This question is for you in the waist coat
What about us in the mid-west?
People like to boast 
Pork and beans and roast beef
And other simple stuff
Like dumplings and toast
All the things that perish with the eating
Sleeping through productive meetings

I know you think I'm tripping
But get a grip 
I'm also guilty. No kidding
You ask me how I know all this
And the answer is simple
I saw you sitting under the fig tree
Go figure, you are the whiz kid
But in a moment I'll clue you in

You say people look like trees walking
Singing twisted lyrics about feelings
You say you just want to make a killing
No hard feelings
It's all about the Benjamins
Images of bags filled with greenbacks 
But I doubt it, and I'll tell you about it
Some are drowning

Runaway notions about emotions
I see you loud and clear 
You'll have to know I'm not far but near
You keep on causing commotion
With your explosive concoctions
Contorting misdirected souls

She sang beautifully in the choir 
But is now hooked on synthetic fire
Unfettered thoughts and desires
I hope you feel my ire
Tooting horns and screeching tires
Choo-choo, there it goes
Iron centipede

Runaway train speeding across town
Stop the world I want to get on
Collection of lost souls chasing a lost cause
Moving fast, hurtling past, grabbing about
Hoping to get their name announced
Jostling for their name to appear somewhere
Stop the car I want to get on
Get me on the fast track, I'm going nowhere
Stop the train I want to get off


A Butterflies Lifespan

My times shorter than a Butterflies Lifespan
I sold them quarters at a time and I tried them
Chased them down with Vitamens
Never bowed down to an idol
Oh I don't forget on the coffee table is a Bible
Have you ever seen a demon the size of a Dinasaour
Well I cut em down when i slice the sword
Sleep with my Sheild of Faith on
When I'm angry hatas stay the F@#k out of my way
I'm ready to blow em up like Blum at the quarry
Don't you think i have been nice too
Well i will flip the switch if they entice me
And even though I don't like fighting i will at the drop of a hat
I'm begging for a mofo to knock some sense into me
A Seashell comes with these three
JMC, Well I'll take em to AMD
Give em some treatment they been needing
Oh wait this ain't the season
I perfer them to have bigger demons
Well I'll feed them like I feed the phienes then
To me it ain't nothing to my inconveience
Well I switch up, I'm endebted to her and I will pay it in flesh or blood
I'm bringing greenbacks back it don't matter
Theres a rock sitting here in my sling shot
And you know I ain;t ashamed to say Gods my rock 
NO! I'm not at all hesitating
My mind is strong, I'm pulling chrome
Coming home and coming
Dice these ho's up take em over the scales and sell em as shredder feed
Oh! these boys gonna feel the shrapnel coming from my Bombshell
I go behind enemy lines and i sneak up behind them
And i would love to go to war with him over here the forest is lovely
But now you see I'm being calm i'm controling my anger

Three Greenbacks

There's three greenbacks in my pocket
Most I have had was ten
This cowboy's life don't make you rich
The green is pretty thin

Now I could take my three dollars -
An' that's the whole dang pot -
Then ride to town and have a beer
Or maybe I might not

Think I'll ride home and take a nap
Monday's sure to foller
Prob'ly spend it in the saddle
Sittin' on three dollars

The Law of the Land

 The Good Book says we must oblige,
By the Law of the Land we must abide.
And you know I'm trying to do my best,
I gave up the powder and the pills and the rest.
I traded my barstool for this old recliner
And I don't mean to be such a whiner
But please don't take my bud.
I gave up the whiskey, the beer and the gin,
Stopped paying the price for the wages of sin.
I quit running down the road in the middle of the night,
I'm not looking for trouble and I don't want to fight,
So please don't take my bud.
The Indians really had it going on
As they sat by the fire and passed 'round the bong.
The magic of the peyote button
Cannot be dismissed as merely nothing.
It's Nature's finest remedy
For whatever ails your sanity.
So please don't take my bud.
Don't take away my meager stash,
'Cause I'm getting pretty short on cash
And my dealer won't front me anymore
Until I lay some greenbacks at his door.
So don't you touch that bud!

Greener Days

Green grass crunching under his toes,
Green peas steaming into his nose,
Green shamrocks flowering his lawn,
Green beer chugging making him yawn,
Green tea sipping all morning ,hoping to cure.
Green money flowing foolishly to promises un pure.
Greenbacks so beautiful paying unjust deeds
Green turning into greener days of greed.

Mitt Mormon Royalty Romney

Comin' in, his names Mitt Romney Candidate Presidential 
Make a little wish and throw your savings in the well
Say's he's gonna drag the US back but drag it back to what
Back from the Economic brink or back towards the missing link

Girls get in line for the kitchen sink

Su Imigración solución? Hacer Ingles el lengua oficial 
Must 'ave forgotten his granddad was an immigrant as well
The old Chiefs must be dancing at the hypocrisy of one lot 
Of American dreamers telling the next lot they're not aloud to dream

His great granddad was King of the LDS (Latter Day Saints)

Repeal undo cancel out all Obama's done
All good Americans buy a bible and a gun
Repeal undo cancel out Obama's best
Don't agree with what he says 
You must be a ****in' terrorist

Rom's approach to the Economy
Is to print a few more Greenbacks
Undo what Obama's done and
Abolish Corporate income tax
He's into wealthcare wealthcare 
Forget about your healthcare
Stop blugging from your employer
Buy your own god damn insurance
Or get yourself a lawyer

On National Security his favorite topic
He says don't get me wrong
It's worth talking to these people
But if they wont listen to Salt Lake sense
We're not going to talk for long
The Republicans star Quarterback's
Crystal clear on Social Issues
No abortions
No pink weddings dear
No stays of exicusion

Repeal undo cancel out all Obama's done
All good Americans vote yourself a Mormon son
Repeal undo cancel out Obama's best
Don't agree with what he says 
Are you strapping plastic under that vest

So allow me to reiterate

Should The Rom win the coming election
We'll all be getting ****ed by his
Presidential ******** the
Charlton Heston looky-likey's grand plan
Is to help the Mormon Church expand
He'll be sucking the Corporate shlong each day
Even though he hates the gays
And look out Iran its time to invade
The Romnater's leading  the Mormon Crusades

God bless the Republicans

Visceral Intervals

Romans 13:1 - “The authorities that exist have been established by God”… 

Though that seems more of a facade, long shot and a fraud from a world long gone
Since sin no longer seems fiction in this depiction of friction with biased predictions
An election... with no intention of protection for the derelict despite respective messages

Seems like these cycles are a hit-miss of plot twists and taut fists that obscure who God is 
But we make no connection that contention from our own predilection sows dissension
And without intervention comes resentment, we need spiritual direction 

But instead of resting in God’s embrace we attack others with a verbal mace 
while we brace our own heart for impact, still intact, rate of pace faster than light in space
We’re caught up in the race but instead should race to erase the rays of hate from our own race.

Why do we debate the debates as we relegate and castigate with hate, then demand a rebate
or hammer their manner like it’s grammar, then try to conjugate what they obfuscate 
Our minds are lost in space while propaganda confiscates our thoughts of late

Then traps them in relapse, perhaps inaction would produce the largest fraction of satisfaction
But our thoughts are funneled and fueled into to a brew of psychological stew 
so heated and cruel it boils over derision and division, it’s no wonder we have tunneled vision.

Then when the door unhinges, pops open, it’s rigged with bigoted dissonance, explosives
 that spring from an ocean filled with commotion from springs of offense overflowing 
because we dared to confused fact with opinion and reasoning with motive

America caught between a persona gargantuan and aroma of pantsuits and emails scandalous 
The purposes of service is not to deter with private servers or privates and perverts with backers
in reserve or greenbacks in reserves, we reserve the right to deserve more than this disservice

So when we venture into this realm of guesswork where conjecture is turned into  adventure
When the cyclical turns visibly unbiblical with violently physical intervals fueled by the visceral 
Instead of surrendering our heart’s rhapsody of magnitude into apathy and lassitude 

...let us pray for strength to maintain a God sustained attitude of positive aptitude

Premium Member No, My Body, My Choice

I will weep my heart out,in the shade!
There won't be an end to Roe vs Wade!

Abortionists need dead infants's tissues
For a "vaccine" and our government does not tthink that, an issue?

Death, blood clots, you get, they do not care.
You, in a tomb, they get their greenbacks share!

Ah, that vaccine shot in your arm.
The dream that only you and nobody else, protected from harm?

Integrity is on grand holiday.
People so frightened, even will give their lives away.

Of side effects, we never hear.
We joyfully roll up our sleeves and go out later for an ice cold beer.

From sheer fear and phony medicine, people,shall never stop.
Easier, and no thinking to get a shot, is it not?

No due diligence, on your part?
Just hope andget the magical, infallible, arm dart!

Never told once…it destroys immune system and heart.
Thus we avoid anti_vaxxers, that most dangerous lot.

Freedom of choice! No not for you,
“My body, my choice” reserved for only the pro-death crew!

Premium Member Lust For Lithium


                   lithium
element of exploitation and mayhem 
used in rechargeable batteries
prevention of Alzheimer's disease
spacecraft and nuclear reactors
advanced war weaponry.
They say a trillion dollars' worth
is under the blood and burn of Afghanistan.
It was never about whacking bin Laden or democracy
It was all about greenbacks and kickbacks.
         Xi is now licking his lips

The Discerning Woman

There was a woman named Honey
Who didn't have lots of money
in fact
she only had
enough greenbacks
for one designer hat.
But she was very discerning
and she found a hat that with a lot of turning
She could wear this hat many different ways
Over many different days...

See the hat in TangeneNicole's store on Etsy
