Best Mono Rhyme Poems
Got tired of watching MTV
It’s now World News from BBC
I’m watching with an OAP
Who thinks I’m with the KGB
I think that she has OCD
Is that a case for A&E
Then I discovered... OMG
Her cell phone is PAYG
Can someone pass the TNT
Or get me to an SUV
I think I need a KFC
Which might soon mean an ECG
But if I get a DVT
Then show a little TLC
And bring a portable TV
Perhaps even a DVD
Get one with a USP
And pay for it with USD
But if your high on LSD
Watch out I’m NYPD

One day in a cell I threw a fit
Went to the wall and started to hit
Wasn't long until my knuckles split
I figured that maybe I should quit
That was as stupid as stupid can get
I was just so mad that I could spit
I reckoned maybe I should sit
And think it over for a little bit
Looking back now I must admit
My anger that day was not legit
The crimes I myself did commit
Allowed them to lock me in that pit
With nothing left to omit
I got on my knees to transmit
I ask the Lord to please permit
Me to finally recommit
To my Lord I did submit
The man I am is the result of it

Take me to the crystal rivers that flow
with calm pristine diamond torrents that glow.
Take me to where all seasonless yields grow
from the effortless hands of men who sow.
Take me to lands of neither high nor low,
where equality reigns with none below.
I see meadows lush that men do not mow.
I see people who do not toil for dough,
with minds innocent, and without a foe,
beaming with smiles radiant that overflow.
In gardens green where sorrow does not show,
kindness is what all men their neighbours owe.
For all men do not accusations throw
at their neighbours calm who vice do not know.
Where each man with a cheerful heart says hello!

In our father's house, you were doing fine,
but you did not want to toe the line.
Father, you said, 'give me what is mine.'
Leaving home sent a jolt of joy up your spine.
No more scenes of servants grazing kine,
or picking grapes off the vine.
Feasting on choice cuts with the chine,
sporting with women, and drinking wine,
living in a ritzy ranch on the banks of the Rhine.
You have many friends who love to dine,
but you are too naive to know that is a bad sign.
Poof-poverty pounces and pierces like a tine,
now broke, homeless, hungry, you start to pine.
To earn money, you take a job feeding swine.
At nights you lie on the streetside and whine,
thinking of the servants and how well they dine.
It is okay, you ragamuffin to regret and repine.
Get up my brother and toward home your feet incline.
The sight of you will make our father’s face shine.

I once got twisted up in my own fate
A pound of crystal I did create
The police used their cash as bait
I jumped on it just couldn't wait
I went to jail until my court date
The Judge rounded the years to eight
Then he said this is no debate
And ordered to auction off my estate
Now I'm not one to recriminate
But all I owned they did desecrate
They loaded me in a bus and drove me to state
Locked me up inside a prison gate
There I proved its never to late
And learned how to live my life straight
Now I live here with my mate
Who taught me to let go of all my hate
