Cheque Poems | Examples

We feed the fang that bites

With penalty tariffs Trump fights 
And what we do? Haply fly kites.
Not shun all his business,
Buy Trump Towers I guess,
Forget reality checks,
We write realty cheques!
And feed alas the fang that bites.

Note: This ditty is written in UK English, not American. Hence read check and cheque correctly. Trump is a business man first and then only a president. He sees his personal interest first. See, how he deals with Ukraine, how he dealt with Pakistan, with Israel in Gaza, and elsewhere. Though people talk of boycotting American goods, many still buy Trump Towers with huge Trump’s stakes.

Laundromat I

I used all of what remained out of my cashed monthly cheque.
The purple coin purse had been emptied before I could even check 
That the washing machine was just not at all now working.

HAPPILY DISCONTENT

HAPPILY DISCONTENT

One may wish to own a JW Turner
The art of art is the skill of knowing
And recognising every good earner

The online market for art is growing
Yet it is more my greed I must quell
One needs a real space for showing

With my few fake Masters left to sell
I found a gallery, as credibility counts
For a half day only, but it served well

A hundred pounds, the anger mounts
And was a scam, that expensive rent
But the cheque of course will bounce

Now my payment has finally been sent
I’m seeing myself as happily discontent

Your Mind Can Take You Places

Your mind can take you places
let your eyes be the judge of what you see.  
Is a bin not a bin?  
Is a rose not a rose?  
I could call on deception, flattery, duplicity,  
misdirection.  

I have tamed my rage,  
but you’re quick to see my movements,  
quick to trace my engagements.  
Fighting on the back front doesn’t mean I’ve forgotten.  
Your lows, your deeds
they’ll draw me down from angles on high,  
like coins dropped from a skyscraper,  
scattering, unpredictable, inevitable.  

Think what you will, think what you may.  
Believe you’ve won, believe you’ve slipped away.  
But I will come.  
I will collect.  
I will cash that cheque.

Meryl the Peril

There is an odious gal named Meryl 
Go meddling with Meryl at your peril
She bites where it hurts
And calls it her perks
For being an adventurous rebel.

Meryl once bit a fella on the neck
He said “dear, I only asked for a peck”
So peck she then did
And charged fifty quid
He shot off at once and said “I’ve no cheque.”

Meryl ran like a bat out of hell
Used to it Meryl was, one can tell
As there was no way
She’d bite without pay
For she was going through a dry spell.

THESE DAYS

I vow to silence the whispers of my heart
No longer will emotions drive my pen.  
I'll write from reason, all there at the start  
Let words flow furiously like an angry stream.

Should I write a heartbreaking poem
They’ll read in joy, marvel at my art
As though, it lay bear, my heart, on the slaughter
Others will pray for more misery as if it was meant to bleed.

Should I compose a breathing sonnet
Her nagging voice will rise to tear it down
Finding fault in every Mona Lisa’s smile
Pointing sharp fingers when a light skinned's mentioned.

If on politics, the sacred cow, I dare to write
Many will frown, calling it a fool’s debate.  
They'll build their walls, deem me the enemy
Not knowing I was just writing for fun.

Daily, I see injustice parade through halls
And the walls of our places of work
If I dare to write of this parade
I’ll be the one who bites the feeding hand.

So I'll fold my thoughts, tuck my truths away
As I thread lightly on this worn, thin path.  
I’ll keep my silence, put my emotions in check
While I still collect my monthly cheque.

UNMENTIONABLES

In this life you have to be prepared for unmentionables,
don't pretend they don't exist, can't have daisies, sunshine
all the time, my imagination or is it a female problem?
Guys are tough, don't care, poet plays to the gallery.

God must be laughing in his office, look at them -
I gave them everything and look how they f..... up,
you think he's sad, so why doesn't he do something?
Warnings - climate change, alien invasion, free will, don't care.

You believers think that we will all be saved in paradise,
dream on, what makes you think you deserve anything?
Time is short (yours), so lighten up, laugh at sex hey,
your lot in life before you turn into a pillar of salt.

Toomorwow, rethink that everything merits some kudos,
don't hide your cheque book, accept I was right after all.

This Question Does Not Compute

Let's see... how do I feel today
Pretty much the same as yesterday except one day older
Guess that's the least anyone can expect
Wonder if an enormous amount of money just plopped in my lap
Would that make any kind of a significant difference
Sure would like to give that a shot
Perhaps I'll buy a ticket for the next ten million dollar lotto
To know how it feels when they call up and say
“You are our grand prize winner!
After the government grabs it's share
We will be sending you a cheque for $136.50!
As part of the rules of the contest
You'll be required to make a televised statement
Excitably explaining how this win has changed your life!”
WOWSERS! I'm underwhelmed
Been wearing these same old holey beat up jeans
For nigh onto ten years now
You won't believe how much this means to me...
Don't know how I'll ever begin to thank you!
I apologise if this sounds a bit cynical
But where did the other $9,999,863.50 go
This reply came back...
“Sorry this question does not compute!”

(I'm exaggerating a wee bit, of course!)

In This Case the Amount of Zeros Dont Amount

In this particular scenario or case

The actual amount of Zeroes

You place or add on the end

Does not represent it's actual

Real value or true worth

Because the difference being is this

Although I may have only been able

To contribute $ 1 Dollar

It's a $ 1 Dollar I can barely afford

And may equate and come at the cost 

Of me stealing a meal out my child's mouth

Far more than I can afford to give 

Whereas your large contribution

Of  $ 10 k plus Dollar's

To you isn't even pocket change

Whereas you on the other hand

Tomorrow will be front page news

Having your picture taken 

Handing over that Cheque

I read over someone else's shoulder

Because I can't afford to buy the newspaper

Unless I can no longer afford

Actual Toilet paper itself

Cheque Please Blind Date Over and Out

Cheque please

If you will

Garcon

I have waited longer enough

And if my blind date

Bye some miracle 

Does at some point

Eventually finally arrive

And asks did I 

Leave you a message

In order to pass on

And give to him

Please won't you tell him this

Time waits 

For No Man

Especially 1 

Who can't be bothered

To arrive on time 

Unless he himself

Is Blind

Doesn't own or watch

Or can tell time

Actually come to think of it

If bye any chance he is in any way good looking

With a sexy body and is a bit of a catch

Nudge, nudge
Wink , wink
Know what I mean 

Apologize on my behalf 

For leaving as I had a family emergency

And promise I will call him

To reschedule A.S.A.P

And I promise and guarantee you

You will be in for and I will give you

The best tip of your entire life

So much so you may be able to even

Take the rest of the week off

Or afford the cheapest thing

On the menu here or glass of water

Nudge nudge
Know what I mean
Wink wink

The True Measure of Prayer's Full Potential

Prayer is indeed our privilege
that God invites us to speak
in His presence so very near
no matter our state the Lord to seek

We can't just expect God to give
whatever we would dearly love
praying is not our wanted cheque
our Father ever looks on from above

Do we really realise prayer's value?
how it can really bring a real change
it has a power all of its own
far more than any shooting range

This is not just some human power
it's the very power of God divine
releasing from His own deep resava
proving He hears us all in line

This power reveals its true measure
proving what's behind all its potential
so get down on your bended knees
find out what God says is essential!

(" Prayer is not a blank cheque and God is not at our beck and call. Yet prayer is far more powerful than we think. It is the power of God that is the true measure of prayer's full potential.")
Anon. Quote

A Business Man Talks

Please" A Big No!"to contract 
That would Shaolin kicks attract,
From a modest aim detract;
Flow of air slow down in tract.

"No"to cheques you never checked;
Much like grains hens never pecked,
Post-dated cheques quick dreams wrecked
And issuer's good name staked...

And -yes- endorsements: thumbprint
For eyes with mistrustful glint
Staring at money in mint:
From head to toe Captain Flint!

From these counsels points extract:
Every goddamned message tracked,
The giver his brains racked,
You not doing so move slacked...

A business Man talks listen:
Minds light and they glisten.

The Sky's a Shark

The sky is stark, the air is cool and still
The black cat’s run, the birds unfold all day
I sit down here and with my totty pray
Ye cast o’ foolish thoughts, you raped my will
. We’ve each enraged the bureaucratic mill.
Oh frigid purse, I never meant to pay!
The sky ‘s a-spark, the air is warm and shrill
The saturnine demoted knelled their way
With this feathered pounce, my sample quill,
I cite the cheque and date it for next May.
Oh, tit for cat, the tiger’s bed ‘s astray.
Yer life is settled by a harlot’s will
The sky ‘s a shark, the air is sharper still

Character Change

He lost his cheque book
then blamed me
throwing all his disused newspapers around
Dementia was acting fast
I left, glad to disavowal myself
from this character change,
claiming he didn't want to see me tomorrow.
Availing myself to several phone calls
he eventually rang me
on my landline by mobile
and like a bad dream, venom's folly, was shot
