Short Liabilities Poems

Time is a balance sheet,
Assets and Liabilities,
Time in asset,time out liability,
Asset over liability equal like a balance sheet,
In Asset no change,liability no change,
No debtors no creditors and no bankruptcy,
Time in and time out equal,a strong balance sheet!...

Treatise of love suborn
Of feelings, desires shorn
With parochial aspirations born
On ritual wings bourne
Romance brokered forlorn
On christening morn, personal 
license torn
Deeded by title; underwritten 
with scorn
Parceled with dowry; with 
annuities adorn
Liabilities, a fitted mantle 
charitably worn...

Fire....fire.....fire....

Let me burn away;

Just look at me,

Can you see the brightest light inside me;

Let me run away,

I'm tired of facing all these liabilities;

 I have that fire,

Just need to strike up, need to strike up

That fire;

Let me burn away,

Fire fire fire...

Fire fire fire...

Planning your demise is like 
walking on a tight rope    
realising there's no net
challenging a 
speeding car and
daring it to stop
mortgaging your manhood
amassing liabilities with no program of repayment
leaping to the wrong conclusions
leaning toward self-delusions
indulging in the same old self-
defeating speculations
endorsing self-destruction 
till you're finally out of time....

Planning your demise is like 
tip-toeing on a tight rope    
realising there's no net
challenging a 
speeding car and
daring it to stop
mortgaging your manhood
amassing liabilities with no program of repayment
leaping to the wrong conclusions
leaning toward self-delusions

indulging in the same old 

self-defeating speculations

endorsing self-destruction

Hungary people can’t hold a grudge
They judged that it would never budge
Walled off by a dam
This heavy metal jam
Raspberry sludge was factored fudge


Author's note: Well, Stanley--it's another fine mess you've gotten me into.  It all goes to 
show how impossible it is to move liabilities off the balance sheet.  Enron, Worldcom, 
Citigroup, Lehman Brothers, and the debt crisis will strike again...and again...and again.......

     Deep in the heart of a weekend
        No plans, no promise, no pizazz

     A feeling as if I were robbed of something
        My youth, to be precise

     When Saturday night and Sunday found me out and about

     Ah, but what’s the point of comparing fragrance and fragility
        I’m happy with my life of sitting and writing and waiting

     Waiting for my disabilities to return to abilities
        recover assets, ditch liabilities

It's true I deeded my heart 
that rapturous date
 Sacral vestments our carnal 
annuities did aggregate  
Bartered my dreams; title did 
abrogate
Twined our limbs; bonded our 
estate
But fealty with baggage did not 
equate
Your mercurial state brokered 
new rate
Your charming assets failed 
o'er time to appreciate
Frivolous investments virgin 
stock did depreciate 
Mounting liabilities did fidelity's 
cost inflate
Now tainted, discounted 
merchandise seeking rebate...
