Best Jack Up Poems

Miss Muffet sat upon a velvet stool
I know 'twas a tuffet; learned that in school
But Muffy was the tart
Who broke the spider's heart
I'm telling the story, so shut up, fool!

Humpty Dumpty had no wisdom at all
That stupid raw egg sat upon a wall
Tempting luck, he...

How about when stores jack up their prices
Then reduce them and call it a sale
I've been on to these devious practices for years

Annoying commercials that treat us like morons
As if we're gonna fall for that stuff
Like if you brush...

"Reality is something you rise above."  - Liza Minelli

today is nothing less than your blank canvas
so splash those colors never meant to harness
reality is just a bland and neutral tone

you’re meant to dare and soar alone
so spread your wings and don’t be sad
this stage...

Should my city have been treated like a hotel?
should someone have checked for the vacancy or no vacancy
before we let a bunch of rich people move in
to jack up our rental rates before Christmas
and send five thousand people homeless?
Should we have said sorry but no...

In the first instance under the engine chassis,
Battling complex automobile designs in heat,
Struggles to displays sleek lines in tops delight,
Prayers from bystanders so the car never restarts.

Pay this one for pedestrians joy could serve for long:

Daddy's girl:
The jewel of his eye.His sweet potato pie
Daddy's girl:
The precious pearl of the sea. Daddy's 
world revolves around his little girl you
see. She is cute and cuddly as can be,
wanting to show off for all to see.
Daddy's girl:
Get's all of the attention. She is...

I was hurting  when I first went to my funeral, at age 7.
I was hurting along with in disbelief that, my young friend. Wasn't really dead, at age 4.

The Cafe lights glow with the 
resisting urge to dim
It's not long before the darkness consumes
this little town I find myself in tonight
Pouring rain, pounding thunder make it hard 
to keep my smokes alive
Shackled beneath a gas station overlay
I count the money in my pocket
Forty,...

Here's my take on sale prices so stores don't take a loss
They jack up prices 20% and put them on sale for 20% off

Think we're thick as bricks
We're at their mercy so at their 20% sales, I scoff...

Jill warned Jack (up to a grasshopper's knee), 
"stay on the shore to dwell,
or you're body will go to the raging sea, 
and your soul will go to Hell". 

Jack grabbed his stand-up fishing pole - said he, 
"I bet you sixty to seven,

Listen up, Sit up,
Learn when to shut up and don't Play up.

Freshen up,
Mix up, Stir up, Mash up, Cook up, Fry up, Set up, 
Eat up, Fill up, Drink up,
Try not to Burp up, or Bring up,
Wash up, Clean...
