Short Dower Poems

Is this what it seems?
Tune of "Islands in the Stream"?
Old bag singing in the shower,
Gravity sucks, with its dower,
You'll get old too, you see,
Don't laugh at old chicks like me!...

A political pundit with power
stuffed dollars in his purse by the hour.
When called to court,
he said “Why not, sport?”
My daughter’s in real need of a dower.

And, while running a nasty ad game
He cried out “Why I’m not to blame!”
He did it too,
So *crew to you!
And he rose up on a tide of acclaim?...

While waiting for the end
I noticed a flower.
And waiting for the end
I lowered in dower.

Things shall cease to be sour:
A new comeliness of Rose Flower,
Not a thing to make me glower;
An Early Widow for a dower…

A Pillar Trust in my Power!...

so, bring me half he owned outright

Bring me secrets on a page
and space them - just so-
that such stuns at a time
could never awe me so

And in it - the design
for such a mystery
and show me confidence in a wife
which entitled him husbandry...
