Low Budget Poems | Examples


Premium Member The Princess And The Plebs


She always thought she was a cut above others

The most beautiful, the richest , the best

A self confidence unbearably arrogant and explosive

When with her, peoples patience were put to the test


Outer beauty, plastic enhancements, riches is all that mattered

She was insincere, rude and vain

Never gave or did for another

In her eyes other women were unattractive and plain


Committed to a lunch work meeting

At a restaurant by the sea

It was a beautiful sunny day

Being with work plebs is not where she wanted to be


Glammed up to the eyeballs 

She reluctantly arrived

Disgusted at having to be even near the plebs

She went to have a cigarette outside


She could see the plebs through the window

Looking at them down her perfect nose

Hoping to be rid of these deadbeats soon

In their embarrassing low budget clothes


Her negative ,superior body language was obvious

As she stood outside full of false pride

When several seagulls flew above her and let rip

Raucous laughter heard from the plebs inside

Losing It

I can't find it
I lost it
The keys don't FIT
things don't mean S$!&

I lost it
sparks gone, couldn't keep it lit
just needed an outlet
instead became a target

Can't get it
not in the right bracket
anytime Im one way they're the opposite
while I make the case, turn it into a basket

not sure if I should submit
or turn into a bandit
oh, the sky is the limit
must be why keeping me down is your favorite

even when I was the one with the credit
well, at least enough to fake it
not fake, just run it debit
nothing was ever low budget

then it blew up like a rocket
trade one for another bad habit
maybe I should just forfeit
cause ill never be in another's pocket

All of it
Can't find it
I think I'm losing it
I lost it

Don't think this is legit,
Darkness fills where there used to be a spirit.
Bit by bit
they made sure to keep me grounded

I think I see it
(let's get you into bed)
I think I see it
(take your pills, and rest)
I think I seen it...
(He lost it)
You lost it
I think I'm losing it...
I lost it.

Rocky and Bullwinkle

We always laughed when Bullwinkle said,
Watch me pull a rabbit out of my hat!
He and Rocky of course were the stars,
But there was more to it than that

Boris Badenov was bad enough,
With Natasha Fatale don't you know
If she asked, "Why, only one darlink?"
Boris replied, "Is low budget show!"

Scheming and Preening his slick moustache
Snidely Whiplash, the worst of men
Would tie Nell to the railroad track,
But ended up with, "Curses foiled again!"

Because a Royal Canadian Mountie
Dudley Do-right would do right of course
By saving the fair Nell Fenwick,
But she seemed more enthralled with his horse!

Though we mostly wanted to be outside
Saturday morning was cartoon time
So we would sit still and watch them
Sharing a coke, we bought for a dime!

Human Touch

My phone of low budget

A high caregiving unit

Now and then call visits

Keeping me always arrest

Someone making a request

Someone thanking for assist 

My phone not just a gadget

It’s worth like other assets!

Shirt

I sold my special shirt
For twenty five dollars, babe,
I can't affort the transport costs
To get on the bus and go
Let my eyes caress my love.
I can afford to move around
With nothing on, for my babe,
I will do anything just to be
With her.

You never left me,
I went through so many changes;
I shiver to think about it,
And I tremble over and over
My body babe.

You were with me when I was up
And you were down;
Now you are up and secure,
But is constantly real;
I am all that you ever wanted.

Your love ain't fake and low budget
Like the good looking Chinese handsets
Sold on the streets of Harare;
They cannot achieve
Even a quarter or less of what they profess.


Coming Home To You Is So Easy For Me

coming home to you for me is so easy
i simply let the others stray to keep from feeling queasy

what can i get out there that i cannot get from
for your heart is loyal and your sincerity tried and true

my only lying will come when i pop in a low budget movie
that we enjoy, like each others company, just like it is meant to be

coming home to you brings me joy after stressful days
how can i break the lines of trust of the women who helped to mend my ways

it amazes me sometimes the philosophy of man
when excuses due to misguided comprehension spurs the whole game plan

i chose the way of simplicity because i was raised to know better
i would rather see you smile than to be put in the category of 'potential bed wetter'

Lousy Payouts

The machine lost its touch 
time to collect, more than my mo'
Encryption, low budget skills
she needs a warning sign.

Premium Member Invasion Usa

There is a fifties film fallen into obscurity.
However, it is now available on DVD.
The stars include Gerald Mohr and Dan O’Herlihy.
I purchased it to see out of curiosity.
This is a movie not too many know.
I last saw it on television over forty years ago.
I was too young to understand it back then.
Since that time, I had never seen it again.
This is a low-budget flick shot in black and white.
I watched in on my DVD player last night.
It contains much film footage from the last World War.
I felt I just had to see it once more.
Since release, most of the cast has passed away.
The title of this film is “Invasion USA”.

The End of the World Just In Time

I was watching a TV debate 
The programme was running too late
Several topics had to be discussed
The participants they would not be rushed

The studio lights were set low
As arguments swept to and fro
Fingers pointing and tempers got lost
In this satire of low budget cost

Political issues  created  uproar 
As inflation was all set to soar
Then the balance of the euro and so
The economy recovery so slow

But the thing that made me so laugh
Was this, cos it sounded so daft
The presenter on his feet he did shift
And ended a debate ho so swift

He said, ladies and gents may I please
End this discussion on African disease
Time is passing so fast
There is one more discussion, one last

He stood there microphone in his hand
And cut the last argument so he can
Debate the
“end of the world”
Before the
 “end of the programme”

Fireproof 'The Movie"

I watched a good movie today that brought tears to my eyes,
A young married couple were on the verge of divorce, but neither knew why.
He was a firefighter and brave as could be, 
She worked in a hospital to help provide for family.

Somewhere something went terribly wrong,
They just fussed and fought and could not get along.
Both so in love when they first said I do,
But now they lived like strangers, neither knowing what to do.

Both of them thought their marriage was through,
But not his dad he knew what to do.
He gave him a challenge that would take forty days,
Each day something knew and done in various ways.

About half way through the challenge he realized what was wrong,
But she said it was to late, she wanted out all along.
The rest of the movie is when it gets good,
But I won’t spoil the ending, not even if I could.

I recommend this movie highly as one of the best that I’ve seen,
It’ll bring tears to your eyes, unless your heartless and mean.
I’d give it a ten for a low budget film,
You won’t find one better it’s really a gem.
