Perspectives

There is a hungry rich man 
There is a content poor man 
The difference is in the being 
The experience is within the being

Seeds

The poor man goes without a want
and lives with what he needs.
While the wise man goes with who is poor
and lives for who he seeds.

Poor Man

No one cares if a poor man is wise,
Though it's the reason that most are alive.
No one knows when a poor man dies
If his memorial does not survive.

(A Gift for life)

Alas a poor man
a material bounty
I cannot afford
unless the gift you except
one of my undying love.

The three old Irish women stood over the casket.
They spoke
“Ah, poor man, he had a troubled life”
 “But now his problems are over”
“Or just beginning.”

Prince Charming

there once was a poor man named Dave
who was treated much like a slave
a vacation they took
and while casting his hook
he hooked for his princess a wave!

The Need For Robin Hood

Society has lost those who dare;
no wealth to declare,
no voice for the meek!
Let Robin Hood speak, they'll get weak;
they will give the poor man his share!

POOR BIG MAN


       
Poor man who believes himself
 very large...
 In the Andes mountain range
 he is a simple dwarf,
 In the immense desert,
 It's a tiny grain...!

Love

Lovable beyond belief
Only thing someone would wish for
Valuable for power to make poor man rich
Exciting to high heights with feelings like flying like a kite

Limerick - 1

There was a Young Man named Blount
He bought a note machine to count
The machine developed a bug
Instead of counting it did rag
The poor man lost all the amount

The Pool and the Fool

THERE WERE ICE CHUNKS IN THE POOL
THIS POOR MAN SHUFFLED LIKE A FOOL
WHEN HE JUMPED IN AND SANK
HIS SKIN TURNED LIKE PINK
PEOPLE THOUGHT HE WAS JUST PLAYING COOL

More Than One

I wish we could have more than one
I think it would be so much fun
One poor man just won’t do
For some women not even two
One rich, one cute, one smart, one dumb.

Poor Bouffant Man

Poor man who thinks
         real ample he is, so in vain
         in front of Everest,
         is simple dwarf,
         in Sahara desert
         a tiny grain... !

The Pool and the Fool

There were ice chunks in the pool
While the poor man shuffled like a fool
When he jumped in and sank
His skin turned light pink
People thought, he was just playing cool

Premium Member Worship

The  poor man turned 
from the temple gate
where throngs of people gathered
to pray and wait.

Yet humbly he knelt
by a small shrine's plea
at the foot of an old Banyan tree.

Premium Member Incarcerated

He cut some corners when filing his tax
Now poor man is going in for the  max
He got nailed
Cant get bailed
Of appeals his lawyers now have stacks

One-Way Mirrors

The rich man seeks the alms 
of my envy
And the poor man the alms 
of my guilt
Both missing what hides
in reflection
Dreams trapped in the silver
to smelt

Poor Little Man

Poor man who believes
             himself being very large...
             In the Andes mountain range
             he is simple dwarf,
             In the immense desert,
             is tiny grain... !

Oh Woe Is Me

Woe is me such a poor man
Woe is me

Womb an
Womb of an
Womb of man
Born in the womb of a man
Nature disgruntled
Humanity Confused
Unfounded Mind
On a WIMs notice.
Woe Is Me.

A Good Mother-In-Law Poem

There once was a man who started to shake
The day he was married his heart would break
It happened the day he saw
His ugly mother-in-law
'Twas way too much for the poor man to take


Okay I lied it wasn't a good mother-in-law poem

Quickly Spent

There once was a poor man from Kent
So many "ladies" used his coin when He spent
Though not in the way of a true mans intent
more like the speed of the seed that He sent
So quickly He came to a concluding dismay
it was barely a coital event
