Poor man's christmas,

only the excessive greed
of man, his profit
create a shortage of such,

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...

Has Willie, pork lover, in nerves

Without pig fat

after-day
a ransome of Macoutes

The sculptor

in red costume

Someday
history may well explain
this violent shortage of coffins....

To which my connection was once, not so lost...

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!

lets both enemies and civilians die.
The rain of bullets coming from the gun
never lets mankind eat beneath the sun!...

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...!...
