Foot The Bill Poems | Examples

Premium Member I'm Tired Of Taylor Swift

I am tired of Taylor Swift,
Her face I can not avoid.
 I know you gals get my drift.
I love her, but am annoyed.

 She has all those Swifty fans.
Isn't that enough for her?
 All she does is sing and dance,
and is known throughout this
earth.

 Her picture is everywhere!
Won't you give me a break Please?!
 Kelce and her, are a pair.
Watch the Kansas city chiefs.

 I turn the radio on.
You won't believe who I hear.
 My daughter's favorite song.
You guessed wrong, it's Britney Spears.

         Gotcha  LOL

Michael Tor
Taylor is a wonderful
performer but I think
they overcharge at her 
concerts and parents 
foot the bill for their
teenage kids...

Drinking Song

Bring the wine, come let’s dine and have our fill
Of life’s best, be my guest, the world forget;
Let’s have fun, work is done, I’ll foot the bill.

What, your wife? Have a life, man, make her vexed
Just this time; ‘tis no crime to let her fret
For a while, make her rile--even perplexed.

Stay with me, your mind free from care--don't frown;
Here’s a toast, make the most, the night’s young yet;
Fill your cup, raise it up, our sorrows drown.

Premium Member The Cost of Freedom

What is the cost of freedom?
And who shall foot the bill?
The rich will ever be richer,
The poor will be poorer still.

Broken lives and broken dreams,
Brought on by others greed.
Broken vows and broken schemes,
Disregarding others needs.

Some driven by their lies,
But still the fact remains.
Put their plans to rest,
Or wake up bound by chains.

The time has come for all,
To take a common breath.
To share each other's life,
Or share each other's death.

Premium Member Madam Ambiguity

When a woman will, she won’t, 
And when she won’t, she will.
She’ll make you sit and wait 
As though your time were hers to kill.
And if you get impatient,
You’ll be waiting for her still.
Then, if she does, she’ll change her mind 
And nag you till you’re ill.
When a woman will, she won’t, 
And when she won’t, she will.
Unless, of course, she likes the dress.
And then you’ll foot the bill.

Premium Member Buy Whatever You Crave

Spend, spend, spend, spend
  Buy whatever you crave
It's old-fashioned to save
  You might wait 'til your grave-

stone is finished before you've enough
  for that fancy house on the hill
or the antique car with the wide grille
  Why overstress? You've got all your stuff...

You might want to turn my voice down
   But Dad won't always be around
to pay off those credit hounds
   or foot the bill for nursing care
'til you're laid in the ground

One Wink Shy From 2 Thinks Too Many

I lie in this bed and just thank,
as my mind strays and plays tricks and pulls pranks. Deeper into the quagmire I sank.    
My thoughts as free as a fish is in a
tank.    
Frankly to be quiet frank, frankly I think Franky spoke frank, quite frank to the fact that Richard didn't know dick about the bic with the wick and the trick with the brick and Donald duck with his flying kangaroos.  
 Slick Willie told bold Billy that broke William was so silly and empty Phil can't feel it really but he can really fill it full.      
Now Miss Millie told slick Willie to tell broke William to tell bold Billy that empty Phil should foot the bill really and not steal that was the deal.      
But bold Billy told slick Willie to tell broke William to tell Miss Millie that empty Phil just ate a pill really and still will not foot the bill,      
but after William, Billy and Willie drink their fill and feel silly, they will foot the bill for really, and charge it to empty Phil.

Premium Member The Charge Up San Juan Hill

Teddy Roosevelt carried a big stick
Walking softly 'till he had to move quick
  He charged up San Juan Hill
  Thinking, 'Who'll foot the bill?' 
He made it into a Hollywood flick

Self Aware

The most troubling moment
Is when we see our selves clear
We must salvage and own it
We must battle the fear

Flaws come in sight
Jaws of the night
They are even more clear
When you turn on the light

They won’t disappear 
Like our childhood fears
Irrational terrors 
From our younger years

Very much real
Unyielding steel
Once discovered
We foot the bill

You’ll never rewind
You’re no longer blind
You’ve let lose, the demons
Who live in your mind

Children of Their Father


Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts
of your father ye will do. He was a murderer
from the beginning, and abode not in the truth,
because there is no truth in him. When he 
speaketh a lie, he speaketh to his own: for he
is a liar, and the father of it
— John 8:44


They love hearing lies being told,
it pleases them to no end
Swimming in a raging river of crocodile cries,
they love seeing the truth bend
Snaking thru the crevice of a mountain
of deceit ... evil echo calls,
an avalanche of guile trickery
Lie
Steal
Kill
These devilish ways give them perverse sick thrills,
spiritual health on the decline everyday
Pain is the currency they love to pay ...
death come special delivery, can you foot the bill?
Laboring so to poison fruit the earth,
what manner of seeds 
will the demon tree give birth?
Children of their father,
bearing a Satanic resemblance on you
Styx credit card your souls,
Papa Devil’s gon want his dowry due
Children of the living dead,
maggot words coming out of your lips
Prepare to lie in a brimstone bed,
close your eyes to a total soul eclipse

Precious Gift

A PRECIOUS GIFT

If you were a prize
I couldn't have won you so
For all my skills and knowledge
Do not merit the credit

Or, let's say the price
Of a commodity so purchased
That I could foot the bill
With my own mobile credit

But a child is so priceless
Ask Aliko or Mike Adenuga
Money cannot truly get you one
Except you receive a divine gift

Welcome my precious gift
Muhsin Ayinla, Sheriff-Balogun
To your own special world
Of peace and progress by Allah's leave

All that hath shall not loss
All who want should be blessed
All these blessings will be successful

Am Love Crazy

you my thrill
you foot the bill
 around you
my heart pumps too
I get weak and lazy
AM LOVE CRAZY

Premium Member Unquotable Quotes - Ix

Unquotable quotes – IX

You cannot have your cake and eat it, but you can have 
        your meat and beat it.
Sow your wild oats on a sow and your tame oats on a 
        milch cow, and reap what you sow.
See not evil, speak not evil but fiddle evil.
Silence is olden.
Blood is thicker than 70% of the body.
If you eat your fill, who will foot the bill ?
Since l’habille ne fait pas le moine, what if the monk 
       goes about in his birthday suit ?
Money makes Bunnies look funny.
When a white-collared worker marries a blue-collared 
    worker, they invariably produce a red-collared 
         sucker.
The only impermanent resident is the President.
It is only raining cats, not dogs.
We are just kissing cousins in the parloir but not in the 
     boudoir.
Wake not a man asleep and tell him his wife has given 
him the slip.

Snakes and Ladders : To skid and fall is a blessing compared to climbing a ladder and falling from a height and being hit on the head by the falling ladder while the snake is waiting and hissing…

I'Ll Gladly Pay You Tuesday

I am stuffed up to my gills,
Stomach sated fully filled
Plates licked clean, my palate's dream-
Do you mind to pay the bill?

*Let me ask y'all something: would the last line be better if it read "Would you mind to foot the bill"? Someone let me know! ;)
