Short Gimmick Poems

Lonely nighttime rain
                               Tap dancing for attention
                                  Drama Queen gimmick...

Once there was a man called Frank Benhance,
Believes writing for contest certainly enhances.
Enhance by stunt & gimmick-doubt!
Enhance by magic & trick – doubt!
Bloody, sustainable establishment - Soup poets enhance....

Gopher decided he would dig to China, and so he did.
He began to charge customers, who wanted to travel far away.
It’s a joke some said, a gimmick, a tease, a kid.
So, they did not get to venture to China that day....

Gigantic gimmick a political gentlemen.
Genuflected genre mathematician gild fan.
Mirific misemploy a flamboyance rolling can.
Doxology douceur dormouse examplar excavator,
Agitator moisture nodulation a lepid swan....

Wonder how many bananas I've eaten in my lifetime
Must be astronomical, well probably a few more than nine
Talk about prolific
Don't know their gimmick
But keep chomping away preventing further world decline...

Have a million dollar bill in my hot little hands
When I present it to cashiers, they poop in their pants
A promotional gimmick
But ever so realistic 
When they threaten to call the police, I'm gone in a glance...

California saki with a California roll.
It isn’t really sushi, and the rice wine has no soul.
But Schroeder’s playing chopsticks
Up and down the major scale.
Like Japanese scotch, it’s a marketing ploy,
A gimmick meant to sweeten point of sale.

A beggar must have a gimmick
And one that others can't mimic
To open the purse of a cynic
Yet keep him out of a clinic

A beggar sits there scheming
Though you may think he's dreaming
And that may leave you steaming
But it leaves the rich guys screaming!...

for ever i never knew was I a he or she
my breasts sagging and never to take a pee on a tree
why is a beard growing on my chin
to let you know just a gimmick
as we never needed you but generous we chose to share a world
and a rib surely you understand is a gift...

I'm yours
put your truth upon my words
what if the role model
just playing a role
Forgiveness just to impress
always trying to be the greatest me
i have to go
my tears are blinding me
If hope looked like something what
do you think that would be
I'm somewhere between light
and the darkness taking over...

Your mood 
swings from left to right,
jumps up and down
and turns a sexy smile into a frown
each day and each night.
 
Your mood
attracts and rejects my attention
loves and hates to mention
the blame game
you play in Cupid’s name.

My mood
hides in his hammock
and will emerge
with the urge
to mimic
your gimmick...

Why do they make cars

That go so fast

They smash into innocents

Their lives's don't last

To over take i can understand

Its a selling gimmick,to make a grand.

 

The devastation, these events can cause

Should make the makers, sit up and pause

To go that fast in a motor car

Another life, its gone too far....

Today I bought my calendars
And boxes full of cards
To send next year conveying
My best holiday regards.

For after Christmas, things like these
Are sold at half the price,
A little gimmick stores employ
To clear their merchandise.

It’s become, to me, tradition
For as long as I remember,
I’ve bought calendars and cards
The 26th day of December....

Nick was a mimic; he had no choice,
He was fourteen when he found his voice.
His new voice was fun; it made different sounds,
He could imitate anyone's voice,
And toss it around.
He got a job in a nightclub.
He also performed in halls and a pub.
Nick became famous as an excellent mimic.
All because he was able to use this clever gimmick!
And them's are the rubs....

You can't be serious!!!
This must be a joke
To consider this yahoo
This really weird bloke

It's all a big put on
I have to ass/u/me
You guys are surely outta
Your cotton pickin' tree

It's a real big gimmick
To generate interest
No one can convince me
It's good for business

It's just meant to liven up
A dreary campaign
This yahoo for President
That's totally insane!!!...

i found a new life to lord over
musket dust filled my void
i looked upon the cliffs of Dover
and hoped Victoria didn't want my head to role

enter,exit,into the outer limit's
you are my corperation
and i am your gimmick
stop eating your fastfood inclination

stop stareing at your  fast fooding
fast forward your greasy word's
food cannot cover over your brooding
your obese nature is too easily shared...

One person sees too many photos on FB and says..."narcissism". Another one sees the same photos and says...."an attempt to cover pain caused by self loathing". One person sees a photo and says..."indecent". Another sees the same photo and says..."a cover up for rejected love". One person sees a photo and says..."attention gimmick" another sees the photo and says...."the face of loneliness". God...bless the latter and give wisdom to the former!...
