Best High Priced Poems

She was definitely a strange girl,
Many odd and weird things I have heard;
She dreamt of riches,
Silk robes,
Rich husband,
Deepest bag of diamonds,
High-priced banquets,
Treated like a princess.

From the church the bells tolled,
Her wedding was due,
Hip hip hurrah,
I met the spoilt bride,
She held her breath,
Balanced with fears,
Her man...

I'm not overly fond of receiving a family's annual gushing story,
In the form of a Christmas Letter stating that all is hunky-dory.
I received one the other day in which they told the honest truth,
And I'll relay its contents though of me it may be somewhat...

The last-call lights flickered once more
A warning sign she chose to ignore
Her soul, just like her pocketbook
Was as empty as inside the glass she looked

The bartender said, “Lass, you now must leave”
As she wiped her tears on a tattered sleeve
With no place left in the...

Twas the night before Christmas and what do I see
A table full of credit card bills laying before me
I wanted to make this the best Christmas ever
Did I think I'd spend this much? Never!
So I bought her a mink and some diamond rings
And lots of...

I made it through the game.

There’s a game comes about
This time every year.
It’s long been an event
That I’ve grown to fear.

It’s the Super Bowl game
Each year it’s the same.
They waste so much money
Seems really a shame.

I watched the opening coin toss
The Bush’s were there.
Barbara in...

The men of the Alamo knew there was little to no chance,
As they stood valiant in defiance of Santa Anna’s devastating advance.
Such a paradox these men faced knowing death would be their certain fate,
Their unselfish courage is part of what makes this country so great.

Refusing...

We weren't rich by any means
but our bellies were full and our clothes were clean

They didn't display those high priced names
but they wore fine just the same

We didn't ride around in fancy cars
Grandma saved pennies in a big glass jar

We learned early that money doesn't...

Poverty and poetry

No bard is poor
But indeed all
For he sings 
For he weeps
When time demands
His pocket is poor
But his heart rich.

His books, his heir
His pens, his tools
His pains, his property
His poverty, his poetry
His poetry, his publicity
His publicity, his problem
His problem, high priced volumes
His wishes to...

Alfredo always abhorred angry approaches
After an amigo accosted after an argument
And, afterward, Alfredo abstained arguing,

Because blackening bruises betrayed blather
Berniccio blindly behaved better, bravely
Becoming brotherly before blasting bullies!

Carefully commandeering calmer Carlos,
Claiming cool comradeship courageously
Communicated clever candid conversations.

Dandified Darius decided daring dialogue
Dangerously divisive, declined discourse,
Deliberately discrediting dainty...

A Beautiful Death

High on a hill hidden by shrubs
I am embraced by the branches of trees
I am worshiped by nature
I hide from the exhaustion of humanity’s harassment
I am safe from the horrendous appetite of others
Here comes a high-priced counselor hollering about an inheritance bequeath by...

(With apologies to Rudyard Kipling!)

If you can keep your head when your computer crashes
right after a new programme, removed essential caches!
If you can smile when you lose a whole day's work
and the blue screen of death, says you're quite a jerk;
though you've slaved for hours...

A penny for your thoughts my mother used to say
I wondered if she thought my thoughts were worth just a  penny
Conversations at our house were mostly one-way
She would say children are to be seen not heard, times_many

I wondered if she thought my thoughts were...

When Tax Season Comes


When tax season comes, I relax...
not worried cause I have my facts
along with a friend
that helps to the end...
my financial aide, Turbo Tax!

So simple, it says what to do...
just type numbers in, click review.
No big fees to pay
high-priced C P A...

Chasing a dream, she peddles her body
and dresses sexy, though never gaudy.
Catering to upper society,
high-priced call girls project propriety.

Easily enticed by riches, she yearns,
sex fuels the flames as innocence burns.
And selling favors for dollars and fame,
she pimps herself; it's all part of the game.

When paper...

Guys Night Out 

We're going to see a show on Broadway,
About the navy called "Anchors Aweigh,"
A high-priced meal was too much a cliche,
So we settled for a sidewalk cafe,
Listening to street bands, playing reggae,
Our waitress came with a varied...
