Best Work Your Fingers To The Bone Poems

I suppose I'm revealin' my age as I compose this little ditty,
But as I compare costs today with yesteryear I exclaim, "What a pity!"
Gas cost 30 cents per gallon and hamburger was 19 cents a pound,
And a buck would atone my sins when collection plates...

I used to say I love you, many years ago –
My passion-cries were wings of flight!
Like burning arrows pierced upon a snowy night,
I loosed my songs to let you know.

So long ago! So many years will change a man.
And now the songs of love lie...

“Election Day” 
by:  Eric L. Boddie

By plane, train, bus, car or boat 

I’ll travel the Earth to win your vote 

I can’t say when I’ll finish, but I know when I’ll start

If elected,...

Come live with me, and be my mistress!
No old-fashioned “man and wife”!
We’ll share the things you have in common …
Who wants to live the single life?

Come live with me, and do my washing.
Cook my dinner, iron my shirts:
And when I’ve squandered all your money,
I’ll show...

Death is sick and tired of dying
and yet he wakes up at the crack of dawn
and put's on his noose necktie
and stiches his broken, beating and battered heart
and looks in the mirror,
the mirror breaks in half
bringing down his self-esteem
and he goes out from 8 to...

I work my fingers to the bone,
all day long, all day long.
Then I'll find my way back home.
Something is going to come my way,
Yeah! I will find a way today.
A way for you and me,...

A woman’s work is never done
although they do it all for fun,
while men just idle through the day
convinced that they all earn their pay.

When work is done and men go home
it’s time for them to sit and moan
about the pressures of their day
and how things...

A SILENT SLUMBER TOOK MY HEART TO A DREAMLAND
MY OWN THOUGHTS CAME UP AND A DREAM STARTED TO PLAY
A RISING SUN IN A NEW DAY MEANT THE DAWN OF A PERFECT DAY
I NEVER HOPE TO SEE ANYTHING GOOD; NOTHING WAS KIND SO TO SAY

WITH MY...

She sold her soul 
For a dollar
She washed folks’ clothes
For the mighty dollar
Left her kids untended
Barely fed, bewildered
In tears, questioning everything
For the mighty mighty……
Left her man for someone new
Who’d pay the rent when it was due
For the mighty dollar
She’d do it all
Work her fingers to...

These days it's clearly the fashion
To tell college grads: "Follow your passion."
Yet consider this quick note of caution:
  Make sure with your passion you'll cash in.

I'm a country boy, american made.
I work my fingers to the bone and barely get paid.
I've had heartache in the days gone by.
While they're lost and gone.
A broken hearted melody is the only song.
As time rolls on and people change.
It's supposed to heal all wounds.
I...

Education starts at home
  Work kids' fingers to the bone
Pile up the chores after school
  Then on to homework
               --  That's the rule

No TV shows or quick little...

I don’t need to have food to eat
Or have a drop of water to drink
I can’t feel what it is to be blue
All I need is you!

The sun doesn’t need to shine
No reason to shade my eyes
Neither does the moon have to light the night...
