Best Overstating Poems

Some guys are cut out for retirement
That certainly doesn't apply to me
If I had my druthers, I'd still be working
This is surely not my cup of tea

Used to be such an active fellow
Was hard at work twenty-four seven
Up until virtually all hours of the night
Now...

All P-Soupers are good friends of mine
A day without them is a day without sunshine
Maybe overstating it a bit
But our friendship won't quit
Until forever our hearts will be intertwined

Its Hidden Messages in my Texts
worth Examining 
you can see the Chosen from The Strangling
beatens an chains
all linked to a prophecy ordained
I've looked through documents for the Author of this Manuscript 
Which is me the Key the King to a degree only the oppressors see...

I have built 
a house on the hill 
of dream

We both have craved about it
overstating the travail it was taking us 
to get things done, but in reality 
I was more impressed by the swift 
and gentle tempo of our hearts

We unpacked boxes 
of chocolate...

But our friendship won't quit
Until forever our hearts are entwined...

Not all music soothes the soul;
I find some downright grating.
At times like those, a wish for silence
Isn’t overstating.

I’m really not a fan of rap
And opera’s not my lingo, 
But rock or blues or classical
And certain jazz – well, bingo!

Yet even in my chosen genre,
Some songs...

Cakes, cookies, brownies, and pies;
Scones, pastries, muffins, and tarts;
Biscuits, bagels, and bread: Oh my!
Creating these gifts much joy doth impart.
I don’t believe I’m overstating the part.
So very few folks alive grasp this gift.
Life is all about what you bake of it!...

You could make paper paving pavements as a pavement paver,
and take that paper to a rave and rave like a raving raver,
save behaviour you savour and say to the saviour to save ya,
lose weight so the waiter waits less and waits more for more to...

Some things go without saying 
So it never needs repeating 
When your heart is overstating
Every word that it's preceding...
In  promise's you may make to one
That filters through to many 
As honest as your stake in some
With meaning if worth any....
When you know the one...

A hairy and cranky old man he's become
Sucking on one thumb, the other up his bum
Now that's overstating things
His words still have ring
Since being elected, his eminence Mr.Trump...

Some semblance of a minding hide,
a love, convicting with deride,
from channels overstating pride,
I quiet my thought to listen's chide -

And quietly hearing, lose reside
of badgering from some ego's tried
to faith in truth, not fortune's pried -
resumption of ambition's ride.

As best would give, give thee aside

You taste like honey coated love
And I am sweet on you,
And your heavenly musk
You taste like the most flavoursome
Citric tangy fruit,
Your the sweetest taste, ain’t that the truth
You remind me of the fresh morning dew,
You are the kind of taste I’d always choose
You taste so...

I'm on the hunt for comprehension.
Furthermore, I'm on the look for attention.
Life may be tough, and there's no success. 
From the standpoint of one's mental wellness.

Rainbow wishes for kids with tolerance 
Guardians have encountered an inconvenience 
Our actions drove the world absurd.
When youth fade,  It's...
