Down The Drain Poems - Poems about Down The Drain

Down the Drain

In another day,
I know I’d wake up,
My head laying low,
Hands over a sink’s counter,
Sobbing about something sober,
My cries staining the metallic silver.

But that same night,
I’ll be kneeling down,
Upon the faucet’s dripping water,
And each droplet will go,
Down that drain,
Like my tears but cleaner.

Civilization Down the Drain

In WW2 Sweden sheltered
    Jews in desperate need

  Today Swedes burn a Torah scroll
     a brutish, dastardly deed

Down the Drain

[ to the tune of If I Only Had A Brain from The Wizard of Oz ]

I know she will soon be blushing,
Because of what she's flushing,
When I have to explain.
With the plug I will be finding,
She will need a swift reminding;
I may likely go insane.

Well, I’ve really got to fiddle;
It’s somewhere in the middle
Of

Down the Drain

Taliban knocking on doors in Afghanistan
   Trouble brewing in Pakistan

China hints at attacking Taiwan
   Dare we hope Taiwan can hang on 

All the while Mr. Kim launches rockets
   North Koreans suffer, so he has deep pockets

While we are tied up with Ukraine
   The rest of the world

Down the Drain

Keys down drain
Tried in vain
To obtain
Still remain
Rack one's brain.

Sight review
Don't pursue
Sank in goo
Then I knew
Order new.

Let Your Sins Runs Down the Drain-

Take your sins to the basin;
Take them to the sink of Christ;
So He'll wash them away;
So your sins run down the drain;

I Am As Filthy Water Down the Drain-

I am
I am so dirty, I'm filthy
flowing, oozing out down
I am as filthy water going, going down into the drain


I am open, an open spicket
and my sins are filthy brown and red
oozing out coverings flowing out from the top of my head
I am open sink hole stuck in shame
Like pouring filthy water down the drain

I

Down the Drain

Drop by painless drop 
Washed down the drain, 
Flowing to a stop 
Free from my brain 

Hysteria and torment 
With regret to follow, 
Make their descent 
Amongst fear and sorrow 

There they all go 
No need for them now,
Still learning to do so
Was never taught how

So deeply instilled 
And clotting my veins, 
Their intention fulfilled

Ring Down the Drain

Slipped through my finger my diamond ring
Down the drain it went so I got out some string
I attaching a bobby pin then coiled it like a box spring
Lowering it down gently but the phone started to ring
I went to answer it and cling clang there went the bobby pin
Down the drain next to my diamond

Down the Drain

I can see you are in a lot of pain
You dropped your cell phone down the storm drain
Tears are welling up, you are about to bawl
Because you can't make a phone call
No chance of you lifting the lid
You couldn't reach it if you did
By now that phone is soaking wet
It is probably ruined and yet
I

Going Down the Drain

Another Atlantic City hotel-casino is going away.
The once-esteemed Taj Majal closes its doors after Labor Day.
It has a big casino with tables and machines galore.
There are posh restaurants, a state-of-the art theater, and much more.
This place is truly a landmark at the New Jersey Shore.
However, it will be a part of history, and not around

Champaigne Down the Drain

Champaigne Down the Drain

Remembered when you were the only one
And now all of the damage has been done
Sent my Champaigne all down the drain
And by myself I must endure the pain.

Seemed so wonderful when you were here
All of my dreary loneliness did disappear
But have become part of a brand new rage
Am reading Bible with God

End Up Going Down the Drain

End Up Going Down the Drain

Have you heard nature trying to call
Went out and wrote poem off the wall
About fool flying into wide open space
Searching for human race all over the place.

I really had begun to blow my big stack
Said that human race I was trying to track
We found was going forward and very fast
Wondering

Down the Drain

I can count my lovers with fingers
not promiscuous none the less
at age sixty two what say you

never used a condom
as it will be condemning
my beliefs

of not procreating
good genes
or the crazy 

never to hold my babies
as fetus they were flushed
for the abuse at age fourteen

not a choice if you tell me
of morning sickness
to hide from my

Pulled Down the Drain

I am not sad
The day is sunny
Spirits high
Well rested
Yet my words went to a dark place
They wrote themselves
I was helpless to follow them
Like being pulled by water 
Spinning down a drain
I did not attempt to fight them
No happy ending required
No lesson to be taught
Just words assembled
Not a real person
Yet still many of him exist
Discarded
Locked away
Forgotten
