Caviar for a Czar

I’ve never dined on caviar,
The finest instead, a Mars bar.
No palace key for this housing Czar
Sip water alone, not at a gilded bar.

The challenge must be taken on the chin
And not merely with audacious spin
A moratorium won’t fix the cause
Of that usurious interest clause
And gestures from the righteous
To address this crisis
Have long past worn thin

Though

My Hearts Liken a Goldfish Bowl Housing Blue Neon Tetra-Cd

My heart sore liken a goldfish bowl
 an aquarium filled with neon tetra fishes so
 you are skimming, swimming, through my heart
 in due process
 yet ever so smart 
my love for you is blue
 your favorite color is to 
royalty astounded your heart  
found it I cherish your colors hue
 you my heart

Pub Lick Housing

Some Babycham and Irish Mist
May smooth the way to being kissed
Score one for Mabel
Under the table
Though it looks like she kissed and missed . . . .

The Landlord Regime

The Landlord Regime

They’re sick of the homeless they say the city’s gone to pot
But let’s look at the statistics and let’s see want we have got
We’ve got landlords and slumlords charging an arm and a leg
And then they wonder why people all over are forced to beg
They want to see references with a down payment

Montgomery County Pennsylvania Housing Choice Voucher

Montgomery County Pennsylvania housing choice voucher...
eligibility predicated upon mandatory fingerprinting

Courtesy anticipatory anxiety
breeds palmar hyperhidrosis
(i.e. hands adrip
with profuse perspiration)
honest to dog truthfully
most inconvenient malady

holds Earthling (yours truly)
in precarious emotional balance
me silently screaming
against ill fated physiological disorder
also upending prospective
employment ambitions (parttime).

Qualification to acquire said voucher
(essentially to help pay rent)
slips thru slippery fingers (mine),
thus wet out further ado,

Social Housing

Social Housing
 
It was a socially correct house each one
Had a window facing out and a window into
The next room, privacy is the beginning 
of capitalism; and curtains were out seen as
 fire hazards.
A loophole, plants were allowed and people
Planted in front of inner windows and later
Wherever there was an open space.
A greenhouse?
Yes, they began

Urban Sprawl

Gardens, houses, metaled roads, no tractor and mower
Speed limit grows in reverse, bigger and slower
Brick and concrete slowness teks ower
Sixty, forty, to thirty, where does it stop ?
Down to twenty wi’ houses on top

The infrastructure is little
Planners and government fickle
Greenbelt is pointless and brittle
Farmers berated for removing hedges and trees 
Yet with urban spread, it’s

Housing Homeless Souls

Warm with camaraderie,
Filled with extending family eyes
kindly accessible as two-way inviting cameras,
Cooperatively good-humored, sometimes gently critical,
never intentionally mean or ugly,

A healthy communion home
can unravel
becoming an emotionally barren
silent
hidden asylum
for codependent inmates afraid of change,
serving one-way camera time
until someone
someplace better comes along,

Then sacred Earth becomes easier to see
filled with side by side homeless souls
too often becoming houseless

A House For Humane Remains a Covering

A HOUSE FOR HUMANE REMAINS A COVERING

A shelter that has it’s coverings a top, bottom 4 corners;
Housing human beings protecting them;
Liken cave dwellers animals snuggle hide behind boulders;
Taken in by family protects friends;

Housing Complaints

The souls of the Damned in Perdition
Oft complain of their hellish conditions.
   “TV reception is bad,
   There’s no WiFi to be had,
And there's talk of starting a petition!”

And added a lost soul named Hershel,
(Though some deemed this too controversial):
   “Plus we demand a refund
    For the

All American Chump

The All American Chump decreed
Americans are a different breed
Education we just don't need
The poor must work to earn their feed
Housing simply fosters greed
Healthcare cripples slow my lead

My budget clearly plans for war
Let losers ponder, "either ….or"
Everyone loves blood and gore
Americans just love it more
And I, as leader of the corps,
Shall shed more blood than mighty

Housing

Phones like Governments-

Providing housing!

Perfect Housing

Perfect Housing


Iron girders are structural beams
Bricks that surround them are building blocks for what seams
Pipes and wires connect us to the invisible streams
Concrete floors are a division between above and the floors in-between
A roof made of timber beneath and hammered on pieces of terracotta leans
Plaster to cover and shape so to hide all behind so

The Anti-Zombie Housing Market

folks, there is a brand spanking new
kind of idiot
that walks amongst us &
no,
s/he is not a ****ing zombie---
some film mustered creature who
erupts from the dead like some
fictional biblical ********
to wreak havoc on the rest of us
who deserve to suffer at the hands of
something that thanks to
Romero, O’Bannon, P.Jackson & the
Halperin brothers, we have to
endure.

the idiot

Housing Nightmare

What too do about housing foreclosure?

maybe...just rent a bulldozer,

tear off the roof,knockdown some walls

at least have some personal closure...
