Grace was more than just her given name,
Ready always to provide for friends and neighbors~
And so her kindness was proclaimed,
My grandmother, worthy now of God's own favors.
I wrap myself in the blanket of my nothingness
Falling asleep with the thought of immortality,
I am a nobody walking through the Universe,
With my quiver of tears and poems.
From the door of my dead galaxy
I send the world a pile of notebooks,
In them, I wrote all my thoughts
To be read by future generations.
A gram of man for eternity,
A small book in the world of books,
I will leave it for all mankind
For in it are all my human dreams.
Joyful phat gram with her cheeks so full
Was eating up an entire grape jelly roll
We did not say a word as she fed her cheeks
She fell and rolled down the hill for several weeks
in improbable scenarios I like to prance about
filtered to the max with an enormous pout
my fingernails are fake and so are my giant boobs
I'm promoting useless product that I will never use
I'll say anything to get more followers on the ‘gram
I’m a narcissist unaware of how ridiculous I am
In today’s crazy,
topsy-turvy world,
you do
what you gotta do,
pick up jobs as you can,
but I must say
it is a bit awkward
to do your job
taking ‘grams
door-to-door
only to find
that you must
land a kiss
on your boss’s lips…

an ‘e’ lipogram that will not be delivered to any contest doors… :-)
She kicked the doctor, she kicked the nurse
She hit them both with her designer purse.
She ran from the orderly, and she was fast.
I said "Hi Grams!" as she darted on past.
She punched my arm but kept on running.
Last I saw her she was in the buff, sunning.
Sweet Gram
Oh my great Granny,
Your words so clever and sweet.
Out of everyone in the world it would be you who I’d meet.
They say we look just alike,
Even enjoyed the same activities such as strolling on a breezy nature hike.
I know time can’t, nor won’t turn back,
I just hope they see you in me, no trait I shall lack.
You inspire me to write, and continue your beautiful work,
As your heart was kind, I will too never act as a jerk.
Decades pass, yet stay the same,
You and I live strong, so onto my child, I pass will our name.
I am eternally grateful as you made me who I am,
You are forever in my thoughts, sweet Gram.

A pretty brown frame make for the perfect picture and on the gram with melanin, its the little brown bewitcher. With that black girl magic, and curves like a pitcher. Take a swing, her spell is mean, who really wouldnt wanna get her?
Sit down clown and drown your sound bubble before I puncture it with my slam,
I'll show you an epic wham bam epigram 'cus I am the lion and you're a lamb,
your jam lacked glam like expired meet attached to smelly feet and moldy ham,
It was so lame that I wonder if you're insane, maybe you should book an exam.
You added to the pain in my brain with each row as the flow wasn't on show,
you managed to increase the decrease over again and couldn't maintain a glow,
the lightbulb is dim or needs replacing because you're disgracing poetry with below
average rhymes that set a new standard of previously unobtainable shallow.
You don't seem to know it but trust me you're either rusty or just no poet,
it's time to pack it in or relentlessly practice and stop the plummet,
I've noticed you're a little bit hopeless so I'm hiding the rope so you know it,
you came along for the ride, lost your pride, so go and hide but suicide don't commit.
i do some weird stuff
some stuff you wouldn't understand
because the thing is i'll do anything for a gram
I'll wash your clothes
pimp out your hoes
because everyone knows
i'll do anything for a gram
I'll babysit your kids
i'll discipline them to
because they isn't anything
i won't do for a gram
i'll wash your car
go dance at a nude bar
for a gram
there is no activity that is going to far
i just need a gram
of some sugar man
but all my neighbors had
was cocaine and heroin.
One gram, yes one gram, that’s all it took,
The mass of a one dollar bill.
It’s enough to make you healthy, too,
When you swallow a little green pill.
One gram, just a small little mass,
Less than a paper clip.
It’s one third that of a coin,
Or a hundred dollar black poker chip.
One gram can also hold so much,
A hundred gigabytes in a USB port.
And it’s the weight of a small metal nib,
Used in a human rights court.
One gram, yes one gram, that’s all it took
When dropped on a Japanese hill.
One gram of plutonium for a hundred thousand lives,
To murder, to slaughter, to kill.
A gram of a good deed is worth more than a myriad grams of good intentions!
