Best Make A Killing Poems


Thank God I Have a Brother
Thank God I have a Brother!
He fixes up the truck,
I sometimes give him money,
Whenever he gets stuck.

(Not just for up and fixin’
The truck – not what I mean
‘f I tried, he wouldn’t take it)
It’s just that times ‘re lean.

His poor bald head works harder,
Than any...

Premium Member The Price of Death
his final journey
in a huge black limousine
death comes to us all

the funeral cost
he won’t have to pay the bill ...
grieving relatives!!!!!!

I know the florists
make a 'killing' out of death
no wreathes when I'm gone!

I don’t want any
floral tributes when I die
give me flowers now!

I would much...

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...

Only At the Stem
Words tell a story
But tears make those words supernova
I'm here to listen
I told ya
And Friday you took my ears and poured 
Poured out every content and drop
And I know there's more 
At 3clock you ddnt want to stop 
Jermaine took Johns spot
And Unc took ours

Fate of Mankind
Fate Of Mankind...

(this prognosticator ordains,
which if came to pass no brains)
necessary to impress any 
goo goo dolls, nor swains!)

Cited in crosshairs of  thermonuclear warfare
quite an about face from bursts of creativity,
yet omnipresent palpable threat everywhere
unlike sangfroid hermitage within Abbey air
habitués hosting religious peacemongers care

Son of a Gun
I’ve never been to war
or claimed the old kings shilling.
Though born and bred to Army life
I knew the need for killing.

The civi’ kids thought those like me,
were gypsies in their town,
but quickly found how hard it was
to try to knock us down.

The discipline we had...

The Wolves of the Barren Lands
Staring down the wolves
With a shotgun in each hand
My back against a wall
Of some barren land.

Though tides of Evil course
Through my blood filled veins
 'S no hiding or remorse
Until those beasts are slain.

The winds of hatred blow
With  one hell of a sound
They should really...

Moving On
Moving on is what they all want to do,
But the victims can't because they are too traumatised,
Or their bodies too damaged,
Maybe even worse, with all contact in this world severed.

The parents of both victim and perpetrator too desensitised,
With too many questions unanswered, 
And lack of...

Get Ready
Get ready

Maybe we should arm the homeless
give them all staves and stones
they could take over our mansions
walk right in and say, "I am home"
the gated communities will not help us
and there'll be no place to hide
from the numbers that are piling up
and they're piling up...

Premium Member Campfire Vampire
The vampire saw the campfire and was hovering around 
For all the little children were just sitting on the ground 
He doesn't mind the fire, it’s not ultra violet light
So he listens to his dinner telling scary tales all night

But when he feels that pretty...

Special Occasion
I don't need a special day to dedicate my love to you
a dozen roses, rose petals, a box of chocolates 
that come in a heart shape box of metal 
because you are my dedication, 
you're my celebration my special occasion.

I don't need a pocket full...
