I learned Jason passed away
at four o’clock on the way.
My worries rushed to the fore hot,
doomed now, for he owed me a lot!

Owed
to soar
in self-pride
wreck must endure.
Adored, bespoken, and kindly estranged

I spend all night in the county jail,
because I drove too fast drinking ale.
My, how did my cell mate
learn to articulate?
Come early next morning I post bail.

There was a girl on the Isle of Man
Freezing her buttocks off in the can
There was no one to care
If she let off hot air
So toasting toes are now, "Owed to Jan"!

As I was walking in the snow,
A freezing kitten me-owed on my toe;
I bent down to kiss her,
But I must've missed her---
'Cuz her fur tasted just like mistletoe.

That job he assigned came out a loss,
which tells why my boss' so mean and cross.
Then down below my belt
his firm rough grasp I felt,
as me out on my ass he did toss.

There was a young fellow from Kent
Who owed several months of back rent
The landlord yelled "Buster,
The cash you must muster!"
Or you'll find yourself asleep in a tent

In sunlights defilade
weed outgrows the plant
and marshmallowed clouds
dissipate in whispered wisps
owed was freely given
and crested wave
beckoned burning shoe less feet

I suppose the crows that rest on the fence, of past tense
Gather their meals from the lives they steal,
I happen to know that one of those still circling crows,
is owed my soul

Verse
Met Debt With No More Regret
Remembered when we finally met,
What we owed and all of our debt;
If we did wait,
Would accumulate;
We were so happy with no regret.

A man who missed his late Aunt Petula
sought a clairvoyant up in Missoula
When she sensed his Aunt Anne
he hopped a plane to Japan
for he owed her a whole lot of moolah

So far, I tried apple a la mode
Trained my tongue to catch sugar's festoon
Upon tines, losing sweets I was owed
A fork won't cork my dessert boon
Now I eat my pie with a spoon.

There's a lot of people that just don't get it
Feel they're owed a living, other factors they omit
They fail to see
What life really means
It's a twenty-four-hour full-time commit

Nobody could take your place.
You have become intricately a part of me.
The thought of losing you brings me to tears.
You laugh, your smile, your love.
Those gifts you gave to me.
I am owed to you.

Verse
A man whose boss forgave him a large debt
then charged a friend who owed him with a threat:
“Now pay what you owe
or to prison you go.”
The boss jailed that man till his debt was met.

What is missing from
the Bible is humor –
I think a Gospel owed:
Sense of humor our sixth
and best sense, our strength
as the others fail – keeps
the blood letting from getting
pale, keeps our puppy
wagging his tail.

Fuchsia fairy flying fast
Muse improve my poetry
Inspiring windows of past
Visions provisions owed to me
Cure me of this crime of rhyme
Turn it off with a waving wand
Fill me like a cup of red wine
With words that read like a psalm

Can you recall when vividly colored hues drenched the sights of life?
Elation from light that appeared as sky’s streaming gilded wonder,
Made steadily dulled from its owed inexorable demise
To which, our beloved innocence fell so quickly asunder.

what do we owe
to this great Caesar
life liberty limb
who face lives on this coin
yes i am a citizen of Rome
no more or less and
without a pedigree
i shall not bow down
to this military state
then we must
return to Caesar
what is owed

X. Uniformity
Crystalline lattice refracts owing none.
To this all is owed.
To this brings new light.
To some it rests on the horizon.
To others it sets.
To all it renews.
To many ever out of reach.

Revised Demise
The doctor had bad news for Ted
In six more months he would be dead
To him it was a bitter pill
He still owed money on the bill
His death was moved a year ahead

Ode to you who ripped me apart,
Owed to you the scars on my heart.
Ode to you who broke my trust,
Owed to you the soul you crushed.
Ode to you who never will see,
Owed to you I'll never be free.
Ode to you I wish was gone,
Owed to you the lines I've drawn.

An uneven start,
the same potential;
Hustle creates moves,
you are owed nothing;
Keep your strike silent;
Secret to fire?
Control the flames;
The board is yours,
stepping ahead;
Opponents
in the lead
always fall;
They can’t
hold your
smoke.

Limerick : Once a rich Janitress rode on a broom
Once a rich Janitress rode on a broom
From cheek to jowl her looks spelt dire doom
She thought she owned the world
And the world owed her gold
So she chewed gold and lost gums and bloom.
