Best Vouchers Poems

My favorite President is yet to be
  He may well not go down in history
For he'll do what really needs to be done
  Antagonizing almost everyone under the sun

First he'll fix Social Security; it's running short of cash
  Upping retirement age to...

Prayers descend like acid rain from 
oligarch-soaked manchurians, stumping 
for elected office, praising hybrid 
demigods, passing out vouchers to the 
peasants.

A slow rumbling-
 part of the night-sounds-of-curfew;
descends like fire ants.

Cleaners of the guilt, hidden in plain faith,
unable or unwilling to walk, feign 
blindness, darkness helps.

I came about when the world was hot and embroiled in a rumble.
     When transit men carried all they had in a frayed bundle.
     When steel was gold or so I was told, and silkworms are of...

so, the frenzied hunt is on,
for that perfect gift,
that unique something,
for that special someone.

Heart-shaped chocolates,
diverse species of stuffed animals,
gold and silver anklets,
carefully trimmed bouquets,
painstakingly worded cards,
gift vouchers, moonlit dinners,
cruises, picnics, breakfasts in bed.

Gosh, I’ve got to run,
I’ve just thought of exactly,

exactly what my cat will...

On the first day of Christmas my loved ones gave to me,
And a plate of turkey butties.

On the second day of Christmas my loved ones gave to me,
Two girly books,
And a plate of turkey butties.

On the third day of Christmas my loved ones gave to...

SANTA’S CHRISTMAS EVE

‘Twas the night before Christmas and Santa was low.
He could barely raise a feeble ‘HO HO!’
He sat and he shivered from head to toe,
As he thought of that ride through the ice and the snow..
Christmas should be in the middle of June.
For him...

My desktop is as cluttered as my brain:
Lens cleaning wipes, two Handshake vouchers,
Visa receipts, envelope that contains
Tickets for a tragedy by Shakespeare

Outrageous fortune
And a thousand natural shocks
That flesh is heir to

ARTix passport containing free coupons
For music, the theater, film and dance,
HP inkjet print cartridge that...

(In the early years of the 16th century,
the artist Pinturicchio was employed by
Cardinal Piccolomini to decorate the
library of Siena Cathedral with fresco
scenes from the life of his ancestor, Enea.)

The Contract

The Cardinal requires Ser Bernardino, 
as high contracting party to the tasks, 
to paint ten histories...

As Long as the Sun Shines

In truth, this retirement game is not all it seemed
When, at most, I’ve achieved just a few of my dreams
And now, as my body falls apart at the seams
There are no re-run vouchers which I can redeem.

As my knees start...

He sends her love cards and shopping vouchers
every weekends – hugs and kisses sent
in words and luxuries.
Her heart gets hungrier as the calendar
leaves overlap each other. She misses how
it feels like to be loved -the warm touch, kiss of lips,
doing things together, and getting lost...

I have the greatest of the great ideas!” My husband said. 
“Best one I have ever had!” He uses this line weekly 
Since he is in sales, and we have been married a long time 
I did not drop my I-pads to listen, for I...

It was Santa’s busiest night
And nothing was going quite right.
The sleigh, well past it’s best,
Had just failed its flight test
And Rudolph’s red nose had turned white.

Global warming had melted the snow;
A hurricane started to blow.
Santa’s throat was red raw
And felt terribly sore.
He could barely whisper...

Twas the night before Christmas, the kids and you
had gone to the movies to watch Frozen II.
Now a last minute gift dad puts under the tree
it comes from the freezer, we wait patiently.

What jokester parent would give frozen peas
as gift for their child's  Christmas...
