Premium Member Peruvian Quipu

Ancient Peruvians used the quipu
To record events for more than a few.
Cord with knotted string
Messages to bring
Future accounting for me and for you.

Accounting

On lotus leaf
a frog sits meditating-
the parenthood.

Fetal coaxing,
was on trial. Will you
come to witness ?

A premature
death of a dream. Who 
was responsible ?

When Jesus Turned

When Jesus turned water to wine
it tasted modestly divine
there was no witnessed waste
but there's no accounting for taste
pharisee spirit's complain all the time

Not in audit but management accounting
spending a career .. just... 'figuring'

Premium Member Accounting for Fame

   Yahya Sinwar, what's in his name
     The sin and war that account for his 'fame'

   Any decent man these traits would shame ~
     Yahya makes them his life's sole aim

The Accountant

She works in accounting at the factory,
loves counting numbers and her salary,
she has it made,
till she got weighed,
obviously hates counting calories.

Poets are classified as a very strange lot Use fancy words like “gigglebuster” and “besquat” They make up words Like brickles and beturds No accounting for this strange lingo they adopt

Premium Member Accounting for Pickleball

      It seems ‘Pickleball’ has swept the nation
      Folks play after work and on vacation

      Accounting for their in-FAT-u-a-tion

Premium Member Adhesives

There’s no accounting for taste
I suppose that’s why children eat paste.
Smell is involved in it too;
Perhaps they grow up and sniff glue?
I won’t rush to judgment in haste,
Because pasta sure sticks to my waist.

  May America and Israel forever be free
    from sea to shining sea
       ~ of Nazis

  And should either country find itself drowning
    in an ocean of jackboots and hate
  May there be a reckoning and accounting

Garage sales are for those with it all I concede But can't resist paying a dollar for stuff they don't need Strange way of thinking Maybe too much drinking There's just no accounting for some peoples' greed

Not To Reason Why

Accounting
for madness 
A conflict 
in terms

The devils
own details
In secrets
unlearned

What stays
ill conflicted
Stays
misunderstood

No rhyme 
and no reason
When bad
— trumps the good

Every Accounting For Taste

It is official,
Those who count voted,
Boysenberry Ripple Ice cream,
Made by tip top of NZ,
Is the best ice cream in NZ, 
And possibly on the planet.

It also happens to be my favourite,
By a country Mile,
And I can't wait to tell my family, 
Who think that I should be embracing salted caramel,
Really.

Accounting

trying to 
sleep counting 
the proverbial fence
leaping endless rainbow

of sheep 
passing time
tiredly trying to 
induce slumber but

notice
as each
ovine leaps
the next has less

wool then
the one before
so forgetting about
REM now i need see

for sure
how nakedly
shorn if there is
a last one will be

Premium Member Adam & Eve Inventory Accountants

Adam was an 
acceptable accountant
And Eve a bubblingly 
bright bookkeeper;
Adam loved the 
First-In, First-Out
Accounting (FIFO) system, 
While Eve preferred 
The Last-In, First-Out
Inventory (LIFO) system;  
Together they testified that
Inventoried sweet fruit 
should neither 
Sits and spoil 
nor go to the 
Garden wastebasket 
Wrongfully.

God is dead but no one knows
as they continue their ridiculous shows.
Everyone wants a piece of Him
but always deny him with each whim.
We kill and dishonor in His name
and the game always remains the same.
Money, power and subjugation
fuels the Godless in every nation.
One day there will be a full accounting
for on every evil the devil is counting.

Premium Member No Accounting For Taste

One can say my skies aren’t lofty
And my style does not appeal
To their taste I’m too low key
They don’t care if I’m real
Or a shadow of bygone
If I’m living or deceased
If I’m right or if I’m wrong
They can’t bother less – I’m pleased
With attention I provide 
I respect the time they waste
Reading words I couldn’t hide
Just to fit some little taste.

To Whom It May Concern

Man surely she studied accounting, 
for she knew how to use what she had to get what she wanted.
she started and sold herself to men who did not
give a damn about her demands.
 As an eye witness,
I witnessed,
when she called herself MRS!
Not recognizing that the mess is....
Dating multiple men made her more of a ****
than a lady she was supposed to be....

Accounting

Those squandered times,
I’ve realized,
were not moments
of self-inflicted wounds,
rather, pieces
of the present wholeness.

But I’ve had enough.
Though my crimes are lesser
than these bastards on the news—
through my false abstention—
yet, I am me,
just unique in the sins
that forged me.

This I learned,
forced upon me:
no more squandering of moments
when you are old.

Premium Member Winslow

Two men walk down a dusty street 
in Winslow, Arizona.
One places small white crosses 
at the curb and recites names 
while the other bears witness:

"Juan Fernando Lopez”  
“Presente!”
“Maria Anna Ramos”  
“Presente!”
“Jose Angel Fernandez”  
“Presente!”
“Restos mortales”  (Mortal remains)
“Presente!”

This continues until 
that day’s accounting 
of bodies found in the desert
is complete.
