Short Mortgage Poems

If you should hear Tom Selleck spout
His irritating, "It turns out..."
It isn't a fluke
Just gobbledygook
Intended to smother your doubt...

The Bible says I'm destined to die
For the life of me, I don't know why
My mortgage is paid!
Its time I got lei'd!
Why on earth should I just bid, "Goodbye"?...

This is the house that Jack built!
This is mortgage on the house that Jack built.
This is the rat that foreclosed on the mortgage
That was on the house that Jack built....

There once was a mortgage bank broker 

Who sold mortgages more than he oughta

Then one day he found

With the economy down

His own house appraised way under water...

Just wondering if snails ever think of leaving home.

Snails take carrying a mortgage to a new level.

Has anyone ever seen a homeless snail?

Be of good cheer, you're breathing aren't you
What else do you need, a  million or two
Let's not be greedy
Not one of the needy
Be satisfied, forget about the mortgage zoo...

Plain English or plain mortgage
The people paid money
Their money should be insured
Or the bank is always who getting
The cow and
The milk
Why they run without charges
 Always with their haul...

In the debt of separation
Yet we mortgage our eyes
On the firing sand of separation
Yet there has left a long way
In this barbed valley
Yet it to be blooded our dreams
Listen Imran please
Yet you do not lose hand...

Forget about mortgage or rent.
These days with our paychecks fast spent,
In the future I see 
The hot question will be. . . 
How much for one BIG sturdy tent?

What makes you think
you can mortgage a heartache

What makes you think
your payment’s unique

What makes you think
your indebtedness special

What makes you think
—you can leverage the pain

I want to own my home
But the mortgage is too high
I want that great job
But there's no applications to apply
I want that new fancy car
But the payments just can't be done
So I'll settle for my wonderful husband
And my three terrific sons...

“…Forever, is a long rapid jump How?, just one second, sometimes!
As a mortgage home, the house of thousand rooms just gets paid on interest multiplies as the Rabbit”

You mortgage the future
  with the currency of time

To buy out your fate
  with more meter and rhyme

But one look through the darkness
  past devil and saint

Explodes your true oneness
  —the moment ordained

Would you lease me your heart
  if I gave you a dime

Would you lend me your trust
  if I willed you my time

Would you seize my devotion
  with its mortgage in tact

Would you love me just once
  —or forever like that

(Villanova Pennsylvania: April. 2015)...

Thine mortgage is a montage 
Teachers, Angels, God
I return to You
Wings clipped
Ready to Heal
Killing egos
Slaying dragons
Thank you
For seeing
Me through
Everything
From sitting
On soggy
Ground to
Wearing my shame
I want You back
For you Saved me
From myself...

Take off your mortgage and remove your career,
stop polishing your act.
Stop taking stock,
stop the clocks 
and open the locks.

Let me in
let me in,
let me in 
let me in.

And let me begin where you end,
let the footsteps fall,
a path to amend,
and you,
friend....

Stress

political angst
insecurity
leaders thump their chests
cling to positions
Joe Lunchbucket waits
	
he wants to work
needs the pittance
to feed his clan
pay the mortgage

insulting
“adjustments”
can’t be made

shutdown’s
mounting

stress

You're never too old to dream,
one to a hundred, just dream.
Imagine a life on a yacht,
traveling all about,
imagine being out on a stage,
where stars, and idols are made,
imagine a mansion on a hill,
with no mortgage, or other bills,
imagine any thing you please,
God gave us dreams, and they are free....

My home's not made of brick
  or even frame or wood
She's been known to move around
  from locations bad to good

She required no down payment
  I never got a mortgage statement
Yet for comfort and for loveliness
  She tops, by far, all other nests

For my home is where your heart does beat
  ~ My Paradise on Earth ~ so sweet...

I go to work to make more money,
to buy more stuff to make home homey,
the only problem now I find,
is theres no room to plant my behind,

So I went out and bought a bigger home,
so all my stuff could have their own zone,
whereas now I work a lot more and am rarely home,
to pay for all my stuff and the pricey mortgage loan.

And in my dream that's where I am
Along with Jesus and God and Abraham
No greater love, no humanity
Could contain, chorale, or elevate
Consumed with ambition
Glorious revisions
Golden paved streets
And on them mansions galore
My name on the mortgage, no this isn't a loan
My Lord, My God has given me heaven
New home mansion in heaven

A Bit Of Sarcasm
Tom
October 6, 2020

After returning from the Emergency Clinic  yesterday, I spent time
watching famous people advertise Car Insurance, 
Reverse Mortgage Insurance, or Medicare Commercials,
but thankfully I was occasionally interrupted
by something somewhat worthwhile.
Tom

Boy, do I feel better now that’s off my chest.

Tick-tock
Time’s wasting away.
Is it truly?
Have we made time a commodity?
She owes nothing and is not swayed by any of us.
Can time even be wasted?
It is infinite yet brief.
I’ve existed forever and I’m still an embryo.
I pay my own mortgage but still feel my mother’s kiss on my brow as I drift off.
I am alive.
I am immortal.
I am dead.
I always have been....

Special handshake
Blood brothers
Boards, nails free wood found
Hidden so none could see

No girls

Growing old
Just a memory
Still blood brothers
Clubhouse disappeared

Life's Real clubhouse
Mortgage payment
Wife new member this girl okay
Children await membership

Last clubhouse
Small box
Six feet under 
No secrets here

God awaits New Blood Brother...
