Poor Man's Christmas,

Poor man's christmas,
                table sans festivity
                 shortage of food
                 excess of tears

Deion

a frozen rope
the metaphor inflames, excites our hope
but we've had a shortage of freon
ever since the days we helicoptered in Deion.

Diamonds are so cheap
only the excessive greed
of man, his profit
create a shortage of such,
gullibility a joy!

In Any Case, It Does Not Work For Me

In any case, it does not work for me,
To spend a money wisely, with mind.
I can explain what I exactly mean:-
Or shortage mind, or lack of money.

The soup has a shortage of ads
Let’s call for more saying egads! 
While they interfere
With the reason we’re here
We'll learn about doodads and fads

Shortage

There once was a shortage on coins
In a coinless town call, DE Moines
Paper money was all
It was stack six feet tall
Seeing it, made others shook in their loins

A shortage of bacon reserves
Has Willie, pork lover, in nerves

Without pig fat

Pictures of the War 11

Day 
is night's heirloom
after-day
a ransome of Macoutes

The sculptor 
is a grave who
paints Pol Pot
in red costume

Someday
history may well explain
this violent shortage of coffins.

Farming A Nation

Back drives me cold
Plant at village
Busy morning.

Season's shortage
Between rice price
Need force to plant.

Each time pants on
Soaking the mud
Life hard living.

Love those who work
A farm living
Help a nation.

Crackle and Pop

Shortage in the sockets of electricity
The circuits broken and I just simply can't connect
Wiring is sparking to ignite a flame
The reaction of heat with power
I've been unplugged sometime from the world
Still searching for the breaker
To which my connection was once, not so lost

Storm of Starvation

Food shortage looms again the world over;
as war in Ukraine threatens wheat supply!
Globe faces the hurricane of hunger
due to hypersonic missiles that fly!
Modern weapon’s devastating power
lets both enemies and civilians die.
The rain of bullets coming from the gun
never lets mankind eat beneath the sun!

Rose Roses of Trust

Trust is a rose
to be offered to the courted woman...
The sage offers a wise woman,
But fools offer the smart women...
The fake ones offer the faithful brides...
The faithful to the jealous wives...
All offer roses to their favorites female...
 Thanks God there's no shortage of roses
at the  rose bushes...!

There once was a bucket from Nantucket
[Trump*]'s aides must make time to lug it
While running for office
His sh!t from each orifice
Needs giant commodes just to flush it
