Cheapskates Poems | Examples


Sugar In the Gantry

how do i complete thoughts?
greet and free drops
diving undivided
to keep the peace hot
high priest
once fleeced
we meet
a sly fox
what is this beast?
eat some frylocks
weep the beat box
and bleed the pure stock
feed the whole spot
creep on your blog
beef steak, eat and chief
break me from the bittersweet
taken on a higher state
i will partake full on particles
nitty gritty didnt have me
shed me of all my articles
sugar in the gantry
vermin in the pantry
the scantily clad
circling my panting
hurtles getting fancy
answer is drunken dancing
cash advancing
and crowds happily chanting
davin is everlasting
drinking water with my wine
only one that was a father of mine
never run out of giving a piece of mind
armored in my think tank
sharks or really cheapskates?
pie charts and a sweet cake
coffee or a tea break
never dull in the east bay
tech giants and a little free base

If you like adventure you will like Match.com,
But many of them you won’t want to take home to meet your Mom.
Each guy you see is a brand new slate.
It's like an interview, looking for a potential soulmate.

Some dates have a good sense of humor and seem great,
Then some on the first date have been real cheapskates!
I’ve had some dates that I could not wait to leave,
As they whined about their ex, wearing their heart on their sleeve.

One professor met me on the first date with roses, and was so sweet.
But I discovered he had a love for his drink, and I couldn’t compete.
There have been school administrators, men in business, and sales,
Some that seem very easy-going, and some as tough as nails.

One of the most interesting by far was a farmer…
Living a country life with his animals, he was a real charmer.
There are many shysters on match too, pretending to be single,
But married… and just looking to intermingle.

There are those that are looking for money that are crooks,
That will wine you and dine you with their good looks.
To protect yourself, get a background report before you date,
Then you don’t have to wonder if you will meet an inauspicious fate.

Humans

So few needs that humans have
that some say bread and water.
Forgetting clothes and shelter
to leave you cold or hotter.

Who will make their list up
of what it takes to live?
and who will cross it off
should they be one to give?

Some will call them cheapskates,
skinflints, even misers.
Those who would pass judgement:
ignorant and chastisers.

So share yourself with others,
that rich may know the poor.
and both will be the wiser
forsaking all the boor.

Then think of those with nothing,
to know their many needs.
Remembering food and water
is the least of what they heed.

Thank You For Your Wedding Gift

Thank You For Your Wedding Gift  

By Elton Camp

Mary knew it was time she wrote
The wedding gift “thank you” note

For those who’d wisely given cash
She’s already sent them in a dash

As long as the amount was enough
Expressing thanks wasn’t tough

While for some paltry sum
It proved more hum-drum

For cheapskates, she didn’t care
Who didn’t even pay their share

Her wedding cost a lot of dough
Such skinflints shouldn’t even go

“No boxed gifts” didn’t work
Yet she must “thank” the jerk

If she could do the wedding over again
“Cash only” the invitation would begin

Still, she strove for something “sincere” to say
And sent the “thank you” notes on their way
