Best Owed Poems

That job he assigned came out a loss, 
which tells why my boss' so mean and cross.  
Then down below my belt 
his firm rough grasp I felt, 
as me out on my ass he did toss....

Shots served by Anthony’s Weiner
Are wrong and reflect bad demeanor
These tweets indiscrete
His wife Uma did cheat
And she'll take him to the cleaner 


Author's note:  My wife and I were talking about the fact that the congressman needs to feel 
as though he is loved...

I spend all night in the county jail, 
because I drove too fast drinking ale.  
My, how did my cell mate 
learn to articulate? 
Come early next morning I post bail....

Christmas is a Spirit,
Tho’ you may forget it.
This time of year can be so happy,
If you only let it.

A time for friends & loved ones,
Fond feelings for the season,
Think well of all your fellow men,
Let Christmas be your reason

Just look around,  it’s everywhere.
Listen. ...

Do you ever have those days
When your mind wonders in a haze
And you take yourself through time and space
Back to your child hood, that special place
And you think of toys you would never share
Your Transformers, your fav teddy bear
But in a Tupperware box under the...

OWED TO DOLLY


Raised in a world without any morals
Lead me to a lifetime of sorrows
Words that were written within Dolly's songs
was the only reason I even took this challenge on?
Refusing to have my children raised that very same way
I focused on this world that she...

Oh how you watched over and proved and protect me, even when I wrong and misbehaved.

What did I do to deserve some as wonderful and kind as you, even when I was not that all 
that kind to you.

 Envious is what others are when...

Ode to Steve,

You controlling backstabber, you've lost control of me. 

You took what you could get, but it belonged to me.

Self Respect, you have none of, So you took mine from me.

You believed you were entitled, That it should all be free,

You think the whole...

You hear it said a lot these days,
“Reparations! Someone must pay!
Our ancestors suffered, it’s true!
For that we’ve come to take from you!”
Now we could just point out the fact
none of us were alive that far back,
that sin can never be passed down,
we’re sovereign actors, here...

I spent five dollars too many at the gas station. 
I thought about the weather. 
It was oddly cool for an August evening. 
I woke up an hour ago 
From a dream that created unnerving parallels between he and 
I 
We were the same, I...

I used to be a cynic, yes this is true
I never believed in love and then I met you

The way you smiled like a ray of light
The way you buried all my sorrrows out of sight

The way you simply took be by the hand
And led...

Seriously, I've been thinking about this
whole genesis thing and there's that part
the one just before the start
that says something kind of sad...

It said that God was alone before they had
the idea to create Us and I was glad
to see that such a Verse was written.

This...

Oh, you softener of truth, smoother of feathers,
Dust from the shelves the fingerprints of doubt,
Unopened books read in dark denial
Bindings broken now in feigned forgiveness.

Trim now the shadow of a wishful past
Prune the pain of all concerned
In voices laden with a beggar’s peace
Echoing within the...

Owed to Shannon Griffin;
Ex sister in-law
But only by our name,
Also stolen by you,
Everthing i will say,
I can prove its true,
You thought that you were owed,
You thought you were due,
You thought what belonged to us, 
Should all belong to you,
You and steve must think alike, 
As...
