Bonus Rounds

This year I turned 41
That's 16 more than I thought I'd get
I mean teachers, police, parents
Hell, even the statistics said 25 was it
So for me, my day-to-day is weird
Every morning a hard-earned prize
Since I never thought I would see it
Nothing matters for me, a constant surprise
I feel like I already hit the lotto
The biggest prize

An unshaven programmer tech
Drooled java on a Starbucks deck
His net earnings grew
As fooled patrons threw
Dinero to pay for his check

Premium MemberFebruary's final bonus

A prime-numbered day if years leap
Adds one extra cycle for sleep
This calendar fact
Keeps seasons intact
And discounts our rents that ain't cheap

Premium MemberGrand Bonus

While to myth seers, leap year is mysterious

Science explains it, never injurious

For me, the Lord meant such as victorious

Wondrous grand bonus for gracious day’s gift*.

*Ecclesiastes 3:13 And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of all his labour, it is the gift of God.

What Bonus

Feeling hopeless

Feeling down

Looking at the paper

Here in my hand

They say it’s a bonus

They say it’s really good

But what I read

Sounds like a bill

I need lots of money

More than I have ever had

And give it to them

I don’t understand

They’ll give more  papers

They say I can sell them

Are worth even more

But I don’t got the money

They

She watched me tilt my head and look eyedrops into each eye and shuddered, saying "I can't do that" I looked at her in disbelief!

Premium MemberChristmas Bonus

Christmas indeed is blissfully wondrous
Yet one character makes my child nervous
A Santa granting no gift
As if showing dearth midst thrift
Negating spirit to be generous.

My boy’s Christmas fright can be humorous
Yet his demands for giving* is serious
Toward season’s blessed lift
Against “mine alone” rift…
Thank God, He's poured his special needs’ bonus!

*Acts 20:35 I have shewed you all

Prisoner of the Pen With Bonus Stanza From Darren White

"Last letters fall off a lonely page, punished the pen 
 sits silent, recovering from past strokes of sage."

Bluebirds sing along with Springs triumphant return
red and yellow tulip's splendor fall out in front of me
my inquisitive mind inhales nature's fresh awakening
as my pen stares off aimlessly to another place in time

Write for me they plead,

Bonus Time

My moisturizer’s from Clinique.
When I am running low,
I wait until it’s bonus time
And to the store I go.

For give-aways are advertised – 
With purchases, of course;
You have to spend a set amount,
Which all the clerks enforce.

So 27 was the price
You’d need to qualify
For the make-up bag of goodies
That Clinique would then supply.

I plucked my lotion

Defend Thy Bonus

Defend Thy Bonus!
(For Boris and Those City Boys of London)

“They’ll leave! They’ll leave!” 
He cried, with a look of sheer panic 
In those innocent blue eyes
“And ‘The City’ will be poorer without them....!” (he lied).

“Let them go!  Let them go!” I cried 
In fact let me help them pack
So I can be sure they

Kamikazee Kid---Extended Version of Kid's Nowadays Including Bonus Footage

Lemme tell ya'
about a kid 
whose mind is so far down the gutter
he was seen scheming on another kid's mother
being obscene
at the scene he
whistled and muttered  
"Nice Udders!"

I'm telling you
little dude is smooth
with more game than Milton Bradley
at nine years old
he already got hold of 
College Girls Behaving Badly...

if you think that's bad
lemme tell
