Best Pounds Poems
Just Three PoundsThree pounds a month they
ask, save the Tiger, save the
Panda, save the Jaguar, save
the rain forest.
Three pounds a month for
the children's hospital and
for the save the children's
fund, the RSPCA, RSPB,
Cancer research, just, only
three pounds a month, now
my pockets are empty with
all these donations.
Our governments,...

When a Heart PoundsCinderella dreams across yellow brick roads
Creating Prince Charming out of simple silly toads
We play hopscotch, jump rope and other little games
Trying to produce magic and a feeling quite the same
Dancing through life with rose colored eyes
Wishing and hoping love doesn't float on by
Finding the one...

Amidst Pounds of Force and FuryAMIDST POUNDS OF FORCE and FURY
Conscious cold clouds sweeping, killing softly the suns bright,
romancing evocatively with the winds, aghast it blows! Blows!
Gray to black are the skies shadows. Shafts of light longer,
they tantalize in between blows joined clear by a decibel bang!
Frightened golden grains for...

500 Pounds of PastaAlong a Jersey creek, somebody
Made a crazy find –
500 pounds of pasta had been
Somehow left behind.
Whoever dumped the noodles
(Mainly elbows and spaghetti)
Isn’t known, but word got out and
There was lots of wordplay ready.
“Pastabilities were endless,”
Was reported and, as well,
“The perpetrators need
The penne-tentiary,” I...

Run round, round, round.

Sure I’ve lost weight,
Pounds, pounds, pounds.
Step on scale, gained weight,
Pounds, pounds, pounds.
Pound in new habits, eat right less, run...

Eighty-Eight Pounds of PlasticEighty-eight pounds of plastic
Have been found inside a whale.
That’s quite a lot despite the fact
Of its enormous scale.
It’s not enough to worry over
Straws we use in drinks,
For what about the other stuff
That’s ocean-tossed and sinks?
Environmental warnings
Do not resonate with most.
For future generations, then,
Some creatures will...

My Heart Pounds, My Heart Loves, My Heart ShakesMy heart pounds, my heart loves, my heart shakes
When love slept, **May 25th my love awaked
“I love you” could be said in a hundred ways
But me showing you could last a thousand days
If actions speak louder than words
Then the genius of our love is a...

She kicked the gravel and began to unravel all...

PoundsGeneration CLASS
Time is showing on our ASS
Bulging hips and aching knee caps
God doesn't hand out an "Eternal Youth" free PASS
Dear ME
The flabs are plain to SEE
I guess we're on our way now
To our advancing DESTINY
It is noticable by any MEANS
Can no longer fit in...

Living like a scrounge in a crazy...

A Man and 12 PoundsWhen a man has a pound,
he grovels on the ground.
If he gets two,
he searches for gals to woo.
when he has three,
he goes on a spending spree.
when he has four pounds,
he gets naughty by leaps and bounds.
When he gets to five
thinks he's got more than...

Happiness Equals 20 Poundshappiness equals 20 pounds
this added weight is getting me down

way back then I was much leaner
now flab is part of my...
