Short Exorbitant Poems

A young gigolo called Timothy 
Gave sex for an exorbitant fee
But his passionate style
Sure made all ladies smile…
(I’m hoping that he’s got room for me!)

Designer shoe ads
Magazine ridiculous
Overpriced items
Movie stars can afford them
Regular people cannot

Exorbitant price
Two thousand dollar blouses
Dresses? Do not ask
Money I will never have
Magazine ridiculous...

Legal eagles or vultures?
Alimony and divorce
Wills
Your problem is in their best financial interest
Enduring power of Attorney
Representing you at a exorbitant fee
Stay away from them if you can!

My shrink is depressed,
and I, yes  I, am to blame.
He cured me of all my anxieties,
yes, every single one of them,
with complete, yes complete,  success,
So I don’t worry about anything anymore,

not even those exorbitant bills
he keeps sending me....

Exorbitant-

extortionist,

self-orient-

red-royalties with,

oil based rents...

Ten-tentacle dresses,

head-level-leftover-ness.


"Instead of shedz we're getting into the mess,"

the fled are those who made precautions press,

loftily next....

Exorbitant day that is for you 
To celebrate and explore.

The week is over
Today be free
Release confinement from.

Visionary unfolds, week to come
Breath in, twinkle, and laugh
Contentment and gratification be yours.

It's FUNday, YOUR DAY....

Sin,
is like a credit card balance that isn’t settled monthly,
and the choice is ours. For sin, we can seek forgiveness, 
becoming paid up, or watch it multiply,
and pay an exorbitant penalty forever, 
in eternity.

The internet has replaced doctors
We look up our symptoms and
order prescriptions online.

How will the doctors make a living?
How will they pay their exorbitant
insurance?
Will they have to start working
at Taco Bell like the rest of us?
A humbling thought....

If I was a loan shark
I would fail
some can ask exorbitant prices
I cannot ask for money at all

Some loan sharks demand thirty-percent interest
I would not even be able to ask for my initial investment.
always been shy about asking for repayment.

I would have to gift everyone their money
and I would go broke
it is my way...

Lego sets are now kept under lock and key at the big box stores
I realized why when I saw their exorbitant price tags
the cheap ones are sixty dollars
some are up to a hundred and eighty
after pressing a buzzer for help unlocking the case I walk away
because I do not know which ones my grandson already has
and I do not want to spend over a hundred dollars to disappoint him...

What I had luckily caught
One exorbitantly bought,
Long after I had it brought:
A salmon by a crowd sought
And for it bitterly fought... 

Many bidders voicing their thought 
Nearly making it a sport,
Save the one who had been taught
To huge sums pay on a spot
So as to remain on top,
As things become goddamned hot
To Plain Delay not a lot
And fast leave before he’s shot...

Their little girl loved to draw
So the parents scraped their pennies
Ignoring the exorbitant price
Picked up that gold and red velvet box
Set of Prismacolor pencils
Best richest vibrant quality colors in the world
So proud were they
To show they believed in her

Big eyed, bashful and intimidated
So taken by surprise by their extravagant gift

Didn’t even wait till Christmas

Keeping flippant thoughts in check 
Convolutions make a schizophrenic toss
blind paranoia into the catatonic tomb
yelling whispers caught in mind cacophony
Rest the head in a drugged-out succor!
Deafen the sententious words – dead -
Nuke the firing adversary neuron!
No aesthetic can anesthetize the thinking demon
expounding beyond the bliss of ignorance
Stewards imagined become abominable ghouls!
Tangles exorbitant unravel contemplation’s nest…

I've seen anger
and power
morph into hate.
And nations crumble
under siege,
when religious zealots
free the beast within.
And the blood flows red,
as Death demands an
exorbitant toll
for the fallen soul's
passage into heaven. 
The very wealthy
build their dynasties
by grinding the bones
of naive idealist
and the pious,
into the mortar 
for their monuments 
and crypts of stone.
The apocalypse,
a Martyr’s dream, 
or reality’s
nightmare?...

Son of a soldier lost his friendship ties
From thousands of miles for crunchy fries

Gun toys replaced the ones that he had lost
Talking twister of blended foreign frost

In the arms of almighty God
His dad combated the last blood

Son of a soldier connoted a coyote
Colloquated heroes poetic lyrics note

White flagged exorbitant West wild
Son of a soldier thought he was a child

Born by origin and modern nomadic loffe
Son of a soldier sailed the word of Santa Fe...

Why those clammy hands of lasting grief
For an owner of a handkerchief? 
Then, you are a forgetful kind,
Who few things keep in mind.

A full right I have to know
Or fully annoyed I shall grow
The last careless contact by your hand
Now, about to unleash microbial harm.

Why not often The Disinfectant 
By you thought rather exorbitant?
A clogged left nostril you’re picking
And my fingers I’d be licking
After your palms against mine sticking 
And in the end a time bomb ticking?...

It is fast becoming rampant,
The whole thing: perfect irritant:
Baring screened-off contents of pants
Guilty:  old dames and debutantes
And these pants are exorbitant,
Uncomplaining buyer brilliant!

Freedom continues to seeds plant
Crossed Christians turning militant,
Who would wearer waste or her pants,
New growing mistrust of fired rants,
Towards shaming violence slant 
No more to assaults an “I can’t.”

But what would women establish 
In pants that their contents publish?...
