Bucks Poems

Rare are bucks loud that bang

What all likes lets, such a luck’s rare,
Plugs all panic, such a pluck’s rare,
Rare are bucks that give loudest bang,
Cool with lake’s muck, such a duck’s rare.

63 Bucks

I thought I could save you for a lifetime and pass your immeasurable stock down to my offspring. Yet another investment that returned a seed. How false this conclusion has turned out to be; a crooked portrait I can’t afford to straighten while physically present. 
      
While holding the previous

A Lucky Penny

I stumbled upon a lucky penny
Yesterday, after the party.
I hesitated before I picked it up
For many reasons; maybe that's the hope,
For something much bigger to land in my nest.
Later on, I decided to visit an outlet,
To buy some flowers for my Princess.
The roses were on sale for twenty bucks;
In my left pocket, in my expensive

Five Bucks Says It Doesn'T

A Book's a dear friend
     transports me to distant lands

   Money thinks it serves the same function ~
     'til it runs out of gas at the junction

I Walked Away From the Fast Bucks

I took that walk thru the forest of redemption 
I followed a trail and saw normal people
However, I wasn't one of them
At that time, I was like that hamster on a wheel
Running in circles with the dark side
Dodging the law 
Everyday I could be found in a pool hall
Consorting with the cons, crooks and druggies

Star Bucks

A lady was sipping her tea
With her eyes on my crotch, not me!
A zipper undone
Is open to fun
But its always a stretch you see!

I Will Pay You a Million Bucks

I call this one whimsy's pride he told me.
I have to have one I said.
I only have one, he replied.
I will write you a check for a million bucks.
Neither of us could quit laughing.
I will make one like it for you.
I smiled, glad he did not accept the check.

Ten Bucks

Five bucks gets you one line, for five more I would double it
Five dollars gets a monoku, while ten gets you a couplet

Goin To Town

Goin To Town
David J Walker 

Hey Farm boy
How’d ya get to town

On tractors and trucks
And 50 bucks 

And a flask of my 
Daddy’s Crown 

It’s Saturday night
There might be a fight

And we ain’t 
hanging around

This damned old farm
We don’t see no harm 

In getting out and  goin down
To drag the street where

Farm boys compete
For

Five Bucks

Five bucks ain’t 
what it used to be
and neither am I
time and inflation
have taken their toll 
but I’m still here
for you.

To Save a Few Bucks

What is it about 'change' that heightens the senses
  that pumps adrenaline through our veins
as our eyes bulge and our muscles tense... For
  there is neither tiger nor snake lurking in ambush
Just a red-eye flight to the coast in a steady rain
  ~ windows splattered with our tears

Big Bucks

Have you herd
       What I herd

       He's making a culling

Three Lousy Bucks

When I got a job, the boss didn't tell me what he would pay.
The low life piece of scum only gave me three dollars a day.
That scum sucking dirt bag actually thought that I would love it.
Just like the song says, I told him to take that job and shove it.
I couldn't even buy a

Bucks County Pa Winter Ar Cabin Run Creek

BUCKS COUNTY WINTER AT CABIN RUN CREEK
Icicles fall from rocks in silent rage
and turn the creek below to icy stone
all frozen white as winter sets the stage,
for playing out to God and you alone;

the lack of sound's apparent to the ear
and life is frozen from activity,
if you should snap your fingers, you would hear
it echoing

Ten Bucks In His Left Shoe, Bold In His Steps

Ten Bucks In His Left Shoe, Bold In His Steps
          (Walking Traveler of Hope)

Walking, each life mile-straight as the crow flies
dancing when fair weather graced bright skies.
Ten bucks in his left shoe, bold in his steps
enemy to world's hatred and dark lies.

Traveler, seeking naught but joy
