Curry Favour Poems | Examples

As some Indians
(dot, not feather)
go to great lengths
to ingratiate themselves
by obsequious behaviour
(bob your head if you agree with me)
could it be the origin
of the expression,
'To curry favour'?

Tho' hunger knows no bounds
forget the fatted calf
despite the nation suffering
from starvation by more than half
they'll curry a horse
but not a cow
those bovine ungulates
are holier than thou

Bootlicking
In a bid from noxious lives to curry favour
Invites worse kicking
In each endeavour 
 
You undertake
Leaving your soul drained and empty
As you stake
Your future into Humpty Dumpty

Expecting the best
Reaping a whirlwind
In a messed test
With a frailty fiend

Until from sentiment slumber you snap
Into the valley of hope
Ditching the trap
On the sliding insanity slope

Where convoluted conclusions
You draw
Assuming seasons and prisons of delusions and illusions
Into your life deserve to crawl

But better outcomes you deserve
Precious life, detract
From the despair you preserve  
As in your mind and soul attract

Vipers
Who in the main to you mean nothing
Positive or receptive as sentiment snipers
Into your limpid life bring only blues-in bling or ring.

CAROL THE QUEEN OF XYZ



                Carol was a  crunchy scrumpy the queen of queendom XYZ
                   Nobody saw her since September that was very bad
                                    Curry the cat got curry favour 
                                    In exchange of a curry flavour
             From the prince of the Pince- nez who was carol’s quidnunc dad
