Greenbacks Poems | Examples

Tradin’ Coon Hounds

Heard my dad mutter, a hundred greenbacks,
you trying to give me a heart attack.

For that much money, truth be told,
that dog of yours had better crap gold.

Then dad hemmed and hawed,
grumbled and guffawed,

Wiped his lips and said with a smile,
“Just let me chew on it for a while.”

Pretty soon dad stood and said, 
how about I trade you Stumpy instead.

Sonny grinned but said, don’t quite seem fair,
but if’n you throw in Sue, that’d make a good pair.

Then they hiked up their pants leg to sit.
leaned forward over the ash can and spit,

They took another drink of white port wine,
after a while dad said,”Reckon that’ll be fine.”

With a handshake the deal was done,
each one sure they just got the best one.

Then they threw away the bottle’s plug,
and sat there til they finished off that jug

Ants In Your Pants

Ever wonder why we giggle
How does it actually start
What makes it uncontrollable
Perhaps it's a silly old fart

Giggles are quite intangible
You can't buy 'em at the store
Worth buckets full of greenbacks
Some gold and so much more

You're in a state of euphoria
You try to stay calm but can't
It's a tonic for whatever ails you
When ants get in your pants

Ever wonder why we giggle
How exactly does it start
They say it's very good for the soul
And does wonders for your heart

Greenbacks

Yes! Millions of greenbacks pour from Joe like honey~
Unhappy to report ~ it’s all your hard earned money!

Gods Eye Nebula

Marbles rolling among gasses.
through the black passes;
dynamic wormhole universal flight;
etheric ghosts ride to the light.

Soul in a dream state,
spectre awaiting checkmate.
Fall into the lion’s mouth,
slide on down south.

Animals to guide you through,
abyss of many colored hues;
revealed secrets hiding deep,
within recesses, up they creep.

Deep within the glass revealed,
answers await a calling peal.
Lighting candles pierce the black;
revealing secrets in greenbacks.

When bells are tolled, all’s said and done,
beneath an orange and mocking sun;
truths no longer hidden lie;
within all-seeing, glassy eye.

Mr Ratman

Hello,
my name is Mr. Ratman
I've been injected twice 
with an experimental vaccine
get nasal swabbed three times a week
i wear a rag on my face consistently
i get temperature screened
get symptom interrogated daily 
i keep 6 feet away from society
i wash my hands until they're 
the color of ripened cherries
Now they're talking booster shots
nothing will ever be good enough...
after all viruses by nature never 
never walk away from a rave.

Is it really all about global health and well being  
or is it about population control and profit 
the N.I.H handed the Wuhan lab millions of greenbacks
father Gates was heavy into eugenics-planned parenthood 
A rotten apple never falls far from the tree...of death

I just thank our silent God that its not a rectal swab.

No, My Body, My Choice

I will weep my heart out,in the shade!
There won't be an end to Roe vs Wade!

Abortionists need dead infants's tissues
For a "vaccine" and our government does not tthink that, an issue?

Death, blood clots, you get, they do not care.
You, in a tomb, they get their greenbacks share!

Ah, that vaccine shot in your arm.
The dream that only you and nobody else, protected from harm?

Integrity is on grand holiday.
People so frightened, even will give their lives away.

Of side effects, we never hear.
We joyfully roll up our sleeves and go out later for an ice cold beer.

From sheer fear and phony medicine, people,shall never stop.
Easier, and no thinking to get a shot, is it not?

No due diligence, on your part?
Just hope andget the magical, infallible, arm dart!

Never told once…it destroys immune system and heart.
Thus we avoid anti_vaxxers, that most dangerous lot.

Freedom of choice! No not for you,
“My body, my choice” reserved for only the pro-death crew!

Cherry Stained Knees

She was born straddling a pair of ruby eyed dice
weened on black alleys and salty blue smiles-

Wild cat coaxing greenbacks from denim lined crags
riding hard-driving far-diving high-screaming brass-

Climbing steely mountains capped with pyrite hearts
she thanked a lost lord that tears didn't glow in the dark-

For a time she walked for miles along sunlit paths
which demanded pinches of patience and flakes of faith
neither of which her dream catcher could ever catch-

She died alone draped across a bent bottle cap thrown
trilobites and mad dogs marched out her Marlboro red throat-

Leaving stiletto scars on virgin faces of hope and eternity
that creamy queen of damnation with cherry stained knees-

Xi Dogs

I'd like to walk the great wall of China some day-
it's near the top of my bucket list
but my greenbacks would be used
by the communists against
my country and I'll not have it.
A small ripple of defiance (like tank man)
but I feel good about it...
Enough ripples and the Chinese people
just may get their voice back.

Another reason I'll not go there is because 
the Dalai Lama is not welcomed there.
He's been in exile since he was a child.
He's not welcome because he has the power to weave
(a billion tank people together)
and the commies are frightened of that..

A third reason I'll never go to China 
is because Dog is on the menu.
I hear they boil, then skin them while they're still alive.
I couldn't imagine stumbling upon a wet market
and hearing the screams of (Xi) dogs. 

by the way tank man was led away by the commie police 
and never heard from again.

Three Greenbacks

There's three greenbacks in my pocket
Most I have had was ten
This cowboy's life don't make you rich
The green is pretty thin

Now I could take my three dollars -
An' that's the whole dang pot -
Then ride to town and have a beer
Or maybe I might not

Think I'll ride home and take a nap
Monday's sure to foller
Prob'ly spend it in the saddle
Sittin' on three dollars

Windfall

greenbacks on oak trees
Springtime windfall of God’s love
— pocketful of leaves

The Discerning Woman

There was a woman named Honey
Who didn't have lots of money
in fact
she only had
enough greenbacks
for one designer hat.
But she was very discerning
and she found a hat that with a lot of turning
She could wear this hat many different ways
Over many different days...

See the hat in TangeneNicole's store on Etsy

What the Gospel Is Not

The Gospel “is not,”
Only About money. 
No, Not of any sums of a lot of greenbacks,
and not about abdominal six packs.

The Gospel “is not,”
About cars or beautiful toys.
The Gospel “is not” 
About a natural marriage, 
or any earthly relationships. 

It is certainly “not about,” works and not about rules;
and a pair of fancy shoes. 
Yes, even though looking good is always cool.
It is Not about fame and definitely not games.
The Gospel “is not” 
About titles, nor winning battles.

It is The Gospel “Jesus Christ and Him Crucified.” 
He dying for our sins; and His Resurrection triumphant.

Cool Nights Asparkin' Sally Ann

                             Cool Nights Asparkin' Sally Ann

Hard days work completed , done my best

driving home on Saturday for a short rest

Later a quick shower and a  bite to eat

off to town for a sweet and tender treat

 

No time now to spend money on my Sally Ann

Got myself a deliberate and fantastic saving plan

No time for the boys nor to drink down by the levee

Saving my greenbacks to buy that 57 Chevy

 

When that beautiful car belongs to me

Going to drive here bouts for all to see

Me and my gal riding in my bright blue car

to the drive in or my favorite honkytonk bar

 

If that doesn't give her a thrill

we'll go sparkin' again back of Judd hill

got a clever plan you should rightly know

complete with diamond rings to brightly show

 

Gonna' make that pretty gal my wife

settle down to a farmer's life

Children we will be a practicin' and growin'

Then the car won't be only thing I'll be proudly showin' .;)  , Z.. -Tyr
