Overvalued Poems | Examples


Cars One

Cars One

A coffin for your children
A hearse for your fat missus
A burden on the mother earth
We will not be forgiven

A curse to city dwellers
A blessing for shopping mauls
Noisy,ugly,overvalued
Ridiculously LARGE

More power than 500 horses
Faster than a train
Sophisticated self maintaining
Millstones with a brain.

Premium Member An Overvalued Woman

I heard all the things you five guys can do.
You can turn any gray sky to blue.
Turning back the hands of time is no small chore.
You make the seasons change by waving your hand, and more?
You can build a castle from a single grain of sand?
You can make a ship sail on dry land?
No pyromaniac can turn a river into a raging fire.
And you can live forever if you so desire?
These things are unimportant?  Is that what you say?
For the sake of one woman, you would give these powers away?
She is an ordinary female, a mere mortal and so
to be next to her, you would let your powers go?

You should not worry about being next to her.
She should be trying to get next to one of you men.

Based on the 1969 hit song “I Can‘t Get Next to You”
by the Temptations
