Best Nest Egg Poems

I can't recall exactly when
Life swung and hit me on my chin
I"m ashamed to say, it knocked me cold

While I was out, I had a dream
Of juggling on a balance beam
While jumping hoops, upon one leg
And one wrong...

The man like a phoenix rose from the smoke
And we with the audicity to hope looked up and heard
The strange cawing of the vulture white bird
Like a code unciphered, and yet the angst provoke
Of allies in the foxholes fretting for a change.

O this is a...

She's thirty-three, single,
her Mom babysits her
five year old son.
She reassures herself it's
just two more hours,
then it's the blessed weekend.
Which means delicious sleep.
She has no nest egg,

There is one kind aging matron
who makes her lunch when she
cleans her large stately home.
Yet, other well-to-do...

I feel just like that old grey squirrel, 
whose belly is empty as can be.
He keeps on searching for those acorns, 
but he has climbed up a maple tree.

He worked hard and long the whole darn year, 
burying his food out on the lawn. 
But...

Stepped inside Bucky's Universal Credit Union today
to ask what could I invest in
with least risk
and greatest potential for self-optimizing return?

He invited me to sit down
to consider cooperative transactions
as our intentional understory
camouflaged within our ecotherapeutic relationships,
like summer's warm sun emerging from winter's cold clouds,
like noon folding...

This poem was too long to submit without premium membership, so I have submitted it in two parts, but it is meant to be read together. 

Part one....

I’ve sailed across the oceans blue
In search of promised treasure
I need to bid my pirate’s life adieu
For some riches you cannot measure

When I was invited to be part of the team
I was told it was a luxury cruise
Promised riches beyond my wildest dreams
Oh how I...

Big ol Billy

Near old Dirran, on the river, an old time pub had its day. ..
Billy Richards was the owner, had a rupture so they say. ..
There he sold the watered whisky and the rum to all who'd pay... 
Earned a quid and made a...

Nutty grandpa president
is talking crazy uncle Donald again
His little Chucky thumbs
is tapping epithet tweet nonsense
Batty grandpa’s been 
grumpily sucking 
on the hate hot sauce bottle
stashed in his KKK closet
Now he’s sporting a Commander-in-Chief cap,
dressed in a wrinkled birthday suit
Churlish grandpa wanna blow the nuclear candles...

As a recession holds a very tight grip across the land,
those who are in need look for a helping hand.
Although nobody can truly say I have it made,
I’ve been getting by with carpentry being my trade.

A good friend of mine who was unemployed at the...
