Best Skimp Poems


Letting Go
Their lives begin, that special day
Your hardest job, is on the way.
Walking and pacing, all night long
Knowing that one day, they’ll be strong.

Watching them crawl, then walk and run
Treasure each moment, share their fun.
They grow so fast, enjoy each day
For sometime soon, they’ll move away.

Years...

The Badly Drawn Goat
The pencil now resting the image was 'testing' for the creature before him, (his badly-drawn drawin') had come out 'not right' somewhat twisted and tight.

The picture in question, it burst with suggestion, for lines that seemed solid too often turned squalid. With unfinished thoughts (and...

Roll On
Lauren Hill slow songs thrill,

they pop like a fast moving pill,

I am flopped on top of a junk food bill,

and running with a skunk who tells me to take in my fill-

like leading um' on into my dream,
I create a festering lean,

I rank every thought...

Drought
We pray good times will come again,
As we sit and beg for rain,
We pray good times will soon draw nigh
As we dry the tears we cry,
And watch our livestock die.

I am tired of singing the same old song
This drought has lasted way too long
Ten years...

A Real Black Man
if i could make a real black man
i'd bake him like a cake
i'd mix him up and pour him out
and this is what i'd take

i'd start off with some honesty
i'd mix in in real well
so i won't have to listen 
to the lies that some...

Premium Member Magnet
There is a gigantic magnet
somewhere far out in deepest space
that holds the planets in their place
sun and moon too, do rise and set. 

All controlled by this magnet
that makes the moon govern the tides
whilst stars do whisper in asides
of this and that caught in its...

Premium Member Failing Star - Mr Ox E Moron
He was an unpopular celebrity who enjoyed his liquid food
Acting weirdly normal when he was in a happy mood

He’d been on a heavy diet and was eating lots of jumbo shrimp
They were disgustingly delicious with hot chili and on his diet he won't skimp

His stomach...

Orange Cat
Just an ol' Tom Cat
dirty orange in color,
Rummaging like a rat
through filth and squalor

Painfully moving with an obvious limp
and a single eye from which to glimpse.
Orange cat advanced with a hesitant skimp;
so sorrowful a cat I haven't seen since.

Confused and frightened
I could sense his pain.
Sorrowful...

Premium Member Anorexia
Each weight increase signals defeat
and never fails to leave you blue.
For, when you strive to stay petite
each pound is repulsive to you.

You stare in the mirror of truth
scrutinizing each ounce of fat.
And seeking the girl of your youth
you can’t believe you look like that.

Skipping breakfast,...

Corporate Pimps
Everybody deserves a day off,
even corporate pimps
Let somebody else watch the Madison Avenue whores
advertise their seductive cable street wares
Conscript the company pimp wannabe intern simps
Then issue frequent frequency warnings
to the parents,
telling them to shield the children's eyes ...
But do not attempt,
do not attempt to dilute...

Surfing On West Coast Is Best
Surfing on West Coast Is Best

He was such a shrimp
Known by others as a wimp
On things liked to skimp.

He had saved so much
With reality lost touch
Started dating Dutch.

Nothing was his treat
Money never did deplete
Saving seemed so sweet.

This want to suggest
West is where surfing's the best
First...

Master Cat Race Rules of Living
Attention seeking gets rewarded so use anything that works.
Baby humans can be dangerous, especially for tails, ears and whiskers, so watch out!
Cats are masters and rule, everyone else follows, period!
Dogs are great for teasing, blaming, stealing good food from and the lowest species, period!
Eating well...

Recipe For My Poetry
Recipe For My Poetry:

! Cup of release from reality
2 tbsps of too much time on one’s hands
As many cups of McDonald’s coffee you wish
So easy! No pots and no pans…
A generous pinch of ego
A lot of long lost dreams
Some healthy bites of breakfast burrito
Not a...

Premium Member I'M a Workin' Man
I'm just a common workin' man and have been all my life,
Laborin' eight hours a day to support my kids and wife.
Tryin' to do my honest best to make desperate ends meet,
Makin' sure my clan is housed, clothed and has enough to eat.

Premium Member My Blimp Is On The Fritz Again

My blimp is on the fritz again
The hovercraft just popped
I surely cannot take the car
That’s jacked up in the shop

The bus won’t come out to my house
There’s no train tracks nearby
But I must make it to your home
And then you will know why

I thought about...
