Short Budging Poems

Both
Sides
Stubborn
Not budging
Washington impasse
The government shutdown drags on
While the furloughed and unpaid federal workers suffer
When will the captains of complacency in Washington finally end this madness?

(thud thud) (thud thud) (thudthud ..... thud)
my mind is dirty and covered in mud
eyes so red theyre pouring blood
no bandaids, i just bleed
my hands convulse and rage fills me
heart beating erradically
everyones so mad at me
and you keep sayin things so dramatically 
dissin everyone that ever loved me
callin me ugly
im just walkin and you like to nudge me
well now its your turn, im standing here and im not budging...

I’ll scrape this mud off of my heels -
That’s caked from years of trudging.
And soak these wounds in orange peels -
To persuade scabs into budging.

This bar of soap, my sword of choice -
Will slay bruises that have haunted.
Replacing aches with citrus’ voice -
Who soothingly tunes the daunted.

This plunge of water, warm and welled -
Will calm my anxious weather.
And put to rest thoughts that rebelled -
As I bathe in crystal summer....

The key got stuck inside the lock
Securing our son's door. 
We turned and twisted but
It wasn't budging anymore.

The locksmith took a bit of time
But finally arrived
Since we were, from that entrance,
Most annoyingly deprived.

He nailed the problem 1 - 2 - 3
(The cylinders were jammed)
And now the door is good as new, 
Just waiting to be slammed.

Emergencies are costly -
That we really can't debate
And that is why the bill's
$143 (dot) 88!...

                                  budging the baby blossoms ...
                                       bathed in yellow dust


                                  high pitched buzzing blows
                              unflagging brilliant blond wings ...
                                     grand banjour to spring

It was something that needed to be done
but I wish it happened a different way
Neither of us were budging
So another source stepped in
Keeping us apart
Unintentional? I think not
They want you away from me
funny how that all works out
Your thrown in with others
as your seeking your own unintentional revenge
it's making me sick
but I guess it makes it fair
friendships are your own right
and there's nothing I can do about it
You're doing a great job Nicko
I guess you always win...
