So many crooks like old Madoff
From trusting folks they get paid off
The economy fell
Yet their pockets still swell
and as for me, I am laid off
His stress is too much to take,
drinking to self-medicate.
Laid off from the job he loves
Covid shutdown brings heartache
Date written: 02/03/2021
Today’s workplaces incommodious
Laid off, the exuberant and joyous
Atmosphere’s sterile
Good times imperiled
Efficiency’s drumbeat will destroy us
Today they tell me
I no longer have money--
Congress, why is this?
A. Green
Workers all over the country who have been
laid off are no longer receiving benefits. Guess
they want us to starve.
Showing off the ultimate bathing fright,
worked all winter preparing a delight.
Laid off the usual beer,
summer now finally here.
His Speedo package outrageous and tight!
*For the battle of the bulge contest. It only takes one Speedo to ruin a day at the beach!
flamingoes on one foot balance
talent like monkeys on bongos
playin' clarinets are baboons
raccoons a-hootin’ and a-swayin'
lions on slide-trombones
headphones catch them cryin’
giraffes a-bangin' chimes
Times of L.A. laid off its staff
Laid off, Unemployed, no pay
No funds to pay the electric bill
Service disconnected. Temperatures plumeting
As night sets, snow and ice fall silently apon the eaves,
entombing the house.
Silent night plays, somewhere...
while his body freezes and life ends.

He's a blue-collar artist supreme.
With a medium of drywall and wet concrete.
He was laid off when Build Back Better lost its gloss.
He occasionally does side jobs... tax-free.
The beard is unkempt; he flashes a tattooed head.
He's donning a third-trimester belly.
That he calls Johnny Walker Red.
It's going to be some time until his next masterpiece.
The day my life became sheltered
In the midst of a deadly virus
It’s killing hundreds and
Spreading like a raging wildfire
I have to stay inside
And keep my head together
And try not to think
Of the worst
Even though it is the worse
This invisible virus seems
To be creeping all over
The place
Laid off work
Shortage of necessities
That’s very hard to find
But you hunt for them continuously
Turning my life upside down
