Best Stipulation Poems
I got the most wanted invitation
It’s organized by a bad collaboration
Would be fun by every indication
Now to think of that fabrication
That would get me there with no implication
To that plan, I will give my whole dedication
B:
Halt! What was that insinuation?
Dad even made a buttressing contribution
I will still not give up in this new occupation
It will have to pass through sound evaluation
At all costs I need to get to that destination
By every power possibly even divination
C:
Oh! The sorrow is like constipation
Against all my careful stipulation
I only needed to heed their conversation
Now I can only sit here in retribution
Awaiting news of others inhibition
My own attendance has already reached its conclusion

Ballad
Although the Christmas tale rings true,
For every child who feels slighted and destroyed,
By religious insult, pretentious token or symbolic kiss,
He shouldn’t only be wishing for Santa’s gifts deployed.
But the Father Christmas story ensures,
That every kid is worth something, equal and sure;
The morality attached to Father Christmas is quite explicit,
That all can be loved, and in that all can be complicit.
It may be that you call this semiotic of Santa Claus implicit:
A suggestion, indirect and a loose interpretation;
But I think that because all kids are included in his giving,
The inherent equal worth of all is its stipulation.
Any kids, of any diversity, difference or race:
Black, white, Asian or Australasian;
Fat, tall, geek, weak or disabled,
Whatever your facet, you are enabled.
Society so needs this Christmas story,
That a child’s interests are his right;
His hobbies are to be accepted and encouraged,
And that even the cold shouldn’t make you tight.
That the individual is considered at Christmas time,
Is on point and fully correct;
Economics and money have a high place,
In a persons needs hierarchy, you may detect.
St Nicholas first emerged in a poem in 1823,
Published just before Christmas Day on the 23rd,
By the Troy New York Sentinel to help its shopkeepers,
Multiply sales, and cheer and invigorate searching customers.
The love of a parent for her child,
Objectifies best by way of a gift;
And I just love the symbol of Santa,
Whom the lonely child from insolation can lift.

Life as a poet was never my chosen profession or vocation
Nor do I aspire to wear a crown in ceremonial coronation
but I am grateful for comments with sincere appreciation
My capricious muse and I conferred, and after deliberation
we offer you a list of poetry resolutions, with the stipulation
that we dubiously hope to keep in this whimsical declaration
1. I will diligently try to pen new forms, without frustration
2. Write with positive karma, avoiding negative confrontation
3. Create more imaginative poems with ambiance and elation
4. Laugh at those who try to malign me with childish vexation
5. My muse made me promise to engage in harmless flirtation
*List appended with a clause stating: 'exaggerated expectation'

I have had one sanctuary
to protect me from the wild,
she is a lone wolf,
majestic her style.
She said walk like a god,
so my goddess will find me,
my shining north star,
when I am lost out at sea.
You are my mother,
that status is yours,
love without stipulation,
since the days of all fours.
So to this I impart,
to beloved matriarch,
a bit of my soul
manifested in art.
A sardonic variety
our relation can be,
when I say I'm with friends,
I bring doubt and worry.
And rightfully so,
for you see through my guise,
in my blood shot,
laid back
and satisfied eyes.
The problem with change
is it elicits disdain,
I am flawed
I am maturing,
but you'll be okay.
I am your son,
not your baby,
this you must comprehend,
but that never means
that our kinship will end.
For you are my mother,
your pride in me glows,
from my dizzying heights,
to my miserable lows.
No more I can say,
It’s a fruitless endeavor,
my appreciation for you,
will last forever.
So allow me to conclude,
on one final note,
and utter these words,
before they are never spoke.
You'll worry about me,
its what all mothers do,
I understand your sacrifices
and I love you too.

Once upon a time in a town named Grumpy Dumpy lived a little princess named Deborah. Now Deborah was the most dumpy grumpy that ever lived in this town and in order to keep this depressed princess happy everyone around her also had to be sad and in the dumps. One day a tall young handsome prince came through the town of Grumpy Dumpy and made a decree. He said that he wanted to meet all the fair maidens and take one for a bride. The only stipulation was that the bride had to be the happiest girl in the city and immediately Deborah knew she was in for a challenge. Deborah hired tutors and more tutors to teach her all about happiness, but she just couldn’t grasp why anyone would want to be anything less than a grump-a-grump. She purchased every book on happiness and even took happy pills. It seemed the harder she tried to learn about happiness the worse her predicament became.
Then one day another person traveled through her town. His name was Thomas the Changer and he offered Princess Deborah a new start. He offered her a new beginning and a clean heart. She took Thomas the Changer up on this offer to give her a royal makeover. She did everything that he asked her to do and she even read his book on eternal happiness to help her get a clue. Within just a few short weeks Princess Deborah was a new creature. She was a new princess and her life was indeed a new life.
What is the moral to this story you might ask? The moral to this quaint little children’s story is that it is a bad idea to live in a grumpy state. You may miss out on the man of your dreams also known as Prince Charming. The other moral to this story is if you are going to turn your life around, you don’t need fancy books, happy pills, or others to get the job done. Go to the expert, Jesus Christ, and he will see you through any obstacle. He is the One True God and he cares for you!

Friends with stipulation,
Friends with stipulations is another way of saying your heart could be under
rejection with termination and deportation.
This is a friend that picks his or her situations for their own manipulation.
I sit here in darkness with strings of loneliness pulling at my heart.
The pain of seclusion is pulling me apart.
I am not a person of solitude nor can I handle fortitude.
I feel I am a person of desuetude.
This is from the so called friends that have made a choice from a conclusion
and put me in a cage exclusion.
I am just wondering were is that friend with validation,
that friend that stands with you in any situation.
That friend that holds your hand and guides you
through the end of any devastation.
This is the friend with no stipulation.

Red embers of floating sins
Shuffled tectonic plates beneath like a leaf on a spin
Stark raiment query to the forewarning
Numb to the smoke when purloined hubris as second skin
Nefarious stipulation with life's pregnant mysteries, than drama visible on tube, will roost the din

IN RESPONSE TO IF---
In my conjunction, possible my condition provided that
In my condition,
Imagine this,
And into the Response to If… "What if”
Presuming that
Supposing that
As long as, given that, in the event that
And into the Response to If…
Despite the possibility that, no matter whether.
A condition or supposition.
In my uncertainty, doubt; What
In my condition, stipulation, provision,
And into the Response to If…
I constraint, precondition, requirement, specification, restriction no visions
"There is one “ if “ in all this"
Unsure in my complexities, Uncertainties
Unknown bliss

me and my big fat ego failed the business
i swim in a sea of red because of my fat ego
everyone tells me this
but i dont want to listen
i run a fast food restaurant like a McDonald
instead of stimulating the business
doing the marketing, research and development
public relations etc
i rather flip burgers
you heard right, flip burgers
i flip burgers like a slave, sacrificing life
because of my fat ego
you heard right
my big fat ego
people ask me why
why, why
i tell them i flip burgers
to top the leader-board of most burgers flipped in a day
to me thats more important than the business
... to top the leader board ...yep
...and have best flipping burgers of all time.. yep
that right
it goes back to my big fat ego
theres was also stipulation that a burger flipper can only win once
so what i did ..i'm so shrewd
because of my big fat ego
is that i flip burgers under different aliases
dont i have them fooled?
me best burger flipper of all time
yet my restaurant is drowning in whine
... me and my big fat ego failed the business
leading me into being in denial, losing my inhibitions
and talking about my personal life at work instead
of being abstract

It’s only that I care for you that you need to
This message was a trick
Don’t you want me to be happy?
This message was hidden.
Because I said so,
This message was too hard.
I wouldn’t ask if
This message was a lie
Because I love you, that’s why.
This message was lost in translation.
Why is it the simplest request?
And the most heartfelt questions
Are often met with rules, stipulation, and manipulations?
Only God offers you true love and happiness,
He says, “Come to me all who are weary, and I will give you rest.”

I’m opening a factory,
Recruitment starts today,
I’ll describe you the Person Spec.
Send me your resumee.
You have to have experience,
Of doing magic tricks,
And no exaggeration,
How you use your magic sticks,
For ours is a wand factory,
With each a special touch,
They’ll all work very well,
But don’t rely on them too much.
The manufacture’s easy bit,
The black with a white trim,
But putting magic into them’s
Not just done on a whim.
You have to have some power,
You can use and then pass on,
Cos we don’t offer refunds,
From the factory once they’re gone.
Each power is acceptable,
Working here, you’ll get fond,
You’ll make some lives get better,
As you make each magic wand.
And if they are misused at all,
Then each one we’ll retrieve,
And we will only employ those,
Who in them do believe!
Complete your application form,
Try hard to impress me,
You can use David Blaine or Merlin,
As your referee!
There is one stipulation,
That the wands can’t be used for,
They can’t be used for COVID,
Because Trump would claim the cure!

-Society's view of the normal person is so far off that I am yet to meet a single person that has told me that they are this normal we speak of. Nobody meets the unwritten requirements of this conceptualized normality that we use so loosely. This normal is a powerful stipulation whose crutches enable negative judgments and justify cruelty. It is a unique opinion based illusion. As a matter of fact, it’s not evenreal.
Please break this chain. This is complete ******** and you know it! It takes one to know one and I know you're not..., normal. This is because you actually exist. Judgment driven, unspoken means of categorizing people into classifications based off of your opinion of their sanity…? News flash! Nobody knows your normal; nobody knows where their rank is upon your imaginary pedestal.
I would like to give you a moment to agree or disagree...
I would like to introduce myself in a manner that I would feel suits this occasion.
"Hi, I'm Chris.” I am a real person that lives in the real world.
I am far from this normal we speak of.
I feel that you can relate to me right now.
Open wide, chew on this…
“Hey Normal! I'm giving you to the count of three to speak up or forever hold your peace...
One...
Two...
Three!"

“CPR is only done to dead people,”
or, at least, I was taught that
in an oddly-lit conference room
at a local EMS center.
The instructor would’ve had to have
used me as a real example if the
course took any longer.
I showed all the tell tale signs:
-unresponsive
-no pulse
-no breathing
After a grueling three hours,
and more info than I cared to learn,
or more fake babies stuffed inside cases like laundered money or rented school instruments than I cared to see,
my classmates and I “graduated”
CPR class!
Only one stipulation…
a fee—
I had no idea I’d be charged.
Work would’ve reimbursed me, but
that would’ve been too much of a hassle.
Instead, I sat quietly, amongst the chattering fitness dorks, as our cards were being printed, knowing full well
the pile of cash he swept into his envelope was a little light.

Giants in the Land
We have all heard the story of Israel’s attempt to capture
His God’s promised land
how the twelve spies were sent to map out the obstacles
and to catch a glimpse of its beauty oh it truly was so grand.
Onward and upward they crept
while masked about with the blackness of the still night
treading where they had not been before
and finding shelter at the dawns new light.
Looking and seeing all the goodness of the land
and yet feeling it was such an impossible task
getting their eyes on themselves and what was in their hands
forgetting that the Lord’s promises will always last.
Then ten out of the twelve speaking defeat fears and discouragement
till at last they just knew within their hearts that they would fail
their minds and heart had been seared with doubt from this own lies
forgetting that God Himself spoke the words and from Egypt had sent them assail.
But with their own eyes they had seen the giants in the land
and they wanted this assignment not be so hard
except God’s army is to be full only of fearless warriors and conquerors
like Joshua and Caleb this is the stipulation for you signing up and of it being a part.
Now how about you do you have a vision
a God breathed Word for your life
then don’t focus on the giants sent against you by the enemy
instead know the battle is the Lords and He will deliver you your children and your wife.
