High On The Hog Poems | Examples


A Choral Arrangement

I live in this house next to the crick
that I built up on some stilts
and my hounds sleep up under it
When it gets so hot you wilts
Yeah they sleep all day under the porch
And we hunt coons at night by a cattail torch


And we really love our life


When the spring rains followed the snow melt
that fell really heavy up north
I load the boys into the boat
And we all sallies forth

To hunt for the hogs that too are displaced
with water all around
I guarantee If one they see 
Them dogs will start to sound


We always manage to get one or two
As I shoot from the stern of the boat
and you ain't tasted nothin finer
than the newly weaned flesh of a shoat

We really love our life,We really love our life

At the house we arrive and all thats alive I sweep
off of the porch thats come seaking higher ground
I bust out a jug and cut me a rug
With no-one to watch but my hounds


We eat high on the hog till we're stuffed like ticks
Really love our house in the sticks

Yeah we really love our life ,we really love it
          Don't we boys ?

    Non stop baying!!!!!!!!!!

Dog On It -2022

Putin has a vicious guard dog
Because he lives high on the hog
He's hoping Jinping
Will do the same thing
So Biden will cringe when they blog

Premium Member Jagged Rocks

Do you ever feel like –
You are being driven onto jagged rocks
By an unforgiving tide,
Searching for a refuge,
Searching for somewhere safe to hide?

Feel the world is spinning much too fast
And you are barely hanging on,
Like a vinyl record spinning out of control
And you don’t like the song?

Feel like you are on a sheer cliff face
And the next hand-hold you can’t find,
The storm clouds gathering above you
And they aren’t silver lined?

Feel you are wildly out of step,
With the decision makers at large,
That you cannot make yourself heard,
Cannot influence those, seemingly, ‘in charge’?

Feel you are whispering into the wind
While others bellow into megaphones,
While the privileged feast high-on-the-hog
And throw you the picked-clean bones?

If you feel your warnings can’t break through,
Just be mindful to protect your mental state,
Your views will eventually gain support,
Just hope this happens –
Before it’s much too late…

Work Harder

Work Harder


Work harder
and pull those boot straps.
You’ll have the dream, they say
you’ll get fatter.

But, not today,
today you’ll tighten your belts.
You and your kids will wait
for a future time to play.

Work yourself to death
and we will take a third.
A little more here.
A little more there.

Work harder,
get 2 or 3 jobs, partner,
and we will take a third there too.
It’s all being done for you.

We’ll live high on the hog,
while you barely scrape by.
We’ll force you to obey the law,
while we get away with it all.

Donald Trump is an old Plutocrat
Living high on the hog like a gnat
But Disney was first
To notify Hearst
That Pluto's a dog, not a rat!

Come Hell Or High Water

8/25/17


From here to over yonder
Come hell or high water

Before, during and after the dog days of summer
Standing out like no other
Showing my true colors

No one I need to convince
I drink like a fish
Not a myth
Eversince 
It's
Been hit
And miss
Holy s***

Good intent
Was always meant
So please excuse my french

Too many
Showing envy
Involved in a feeding frenzy

Going for broke
Won't 
Be looked at as a joke

With my own style
Going to go the extra mile
In order to make it more worthwhile

A lot of people high on the hog
It's rather odd
Just like the concept of god

Rain

Today -
They are enjoying whilst living high on the hog 
in the rain of black money, silvers and gold coins.
Oh! Poor souls, don't you all know that 

after death -

the rain of black money will
convert into the rain of fire.

Moral - Be honest in Christ.

You'Re Living High On the Hog

(This is a fictional poem)

You are a jerk and you have a lot of nerve.
You got food poisoning which is what you deserved.
You stole twenty eggs out of my hen house.
You did it because you are a cheap louse.

The eggs turned out to be rotten and you regretted eating that food.
When you had your stomach pumped, you sued.
That damn judge awarded you a quarter of a million dollars.
He found me in contempt of court when I cussed and hollered.

I had to sell my farm and give you the money.
When I get my hands on that judge, he won't think it's so funny.
You're wearing great clothes because Armoni is your tailor.
You're living high on the hog while I'm living in an old abandoned trailer.
