with her hellos

when it comes

it can save

favored drink made from barley,
died before Ebenezer,
that stingy old geezer....

Too stingy to lend a hand or give a dollar to an unfortunate
Where are the mourners?
Imagine that....

Four stanzas is how it has to be.
Stingy poets only give us three.
This one is Italian from my brain....

I’m as delicate as a Spring flower,
But stingy like a bee around this hour

I feel the aftershocks of our love,
Yet I long for your presence above...

She was often totally furious
With her husband who was penurious
He gave pennies to the poor
After quite a big uproar
His flamboyant stinginess quite curious....

On a hill top, lived a man so stingy
Though wealthy, his house was very dingy
When his wife asked for money
He would chortle- 'No Honey'
Tired, fled with her lover on a pony...

Guess What

I Can Be Stingy
And Feel Stupid...
Or I Can Be Generous
And Feel Stupid.

Heck, I Can
Feel Stupid
No Matter What!

 Lady Jennifer Trent

Here, with not a cent
Lies stingy Lady Jennifer Trent
Who, in trading health for wealth
Invited death in stealth!

Man's tenderness is stingy on the words, rare are male tears, which have taste of salt,
But heart of man is not, however, bound by the armor, made of steel, is not protected from the pain his soul....

Give me a whisky
With a ginger ale on the side
And don’t be stingy
What great lines 
For a great actor
Like Greta Garbo
Her first screen words spoken
But in the end 
She just wanted to be left alone.

An inkwell cupcake if you please.
Frost it with adverbs.
Sprinkle it with adjectives.
Don’t be stingy.
You can add more.
Make it glitter.
Make it pop!
Startle yourself.
Bake it whatever degree
Coleridge, Whitman, Thoreau and Poe would have used....

Clouds,
spitting 
rain tease the
drought-stricken land
with hope of more to
come, but stingy clouds cling
jealously to their precious
droplets only releasing scant
sprinkles from time to time.  O God please
open up the heavens and let it pour!

Im a little bit of what I see in everyone else. An exasperating inconvenience, ill-
disposed and argumentative. I want to hate you but then I would have to hate 
myself. Self-centered, stingy, and stupendously sarcastic. I want nothing more than 
for you to change....

Trump Refuses To Contribute Horn Limerick

Trump is stingy and refuses to contribute
Single dime and lacks having an attribute;
Psychotic for sure;
Is no known cure;
His body and brain belong in an institute.

Your ungenerous heart forbear
Can not understand why
From me a generous reply

As from my easy chair
Face storms of life must them welter
Need warm heart to shelter

Don't understand in life your part
Sometimes wish for release
From stingy ungenerous heart
And go to my grave in peace...

~Stingy, Stingy~


There once was a poet named
Stingy,
Who loved only himself, what a 
pathetic, lost dingy!
One day, poor, lost soul, fell on his
self-centered duff.
Furious that 34 comments were
simply, not enough!

Six simpering thick-skinned shifty spinster sisters stiffly sit
Stitching sticky skid-marked scivvies of sixty sick stingy sailors.
Six sick from stitching scivvies of sixty sick scrimping sailors
Stickle over nickels; those insistent six thick-skinned spinster tailors!

It’s easy to be nice to those
who treat us kindly, with respect,
who comfort us through all our woes.
It’s easy to be nice to those
who help us heal from life’s hard blows;
but others, do we oft reject?
It’s easy to be nice to those
who treat us kindly, with respect.

It's inconceivable
Unbelievable 
My words were true and factual 
Yet you didn't want to hear me full
I don't know why your being so stingy 
Is it because your busy
You didn't hear be
Anything just tell me
That's it I'm going on my own
If you finally want to talk to me, you have a phone
I'll be fine, I'll get a loan
If I'm away, I'll feel less alone....

In love, a woman gives her heart, soul and mind,
Men seldomly reciprocate in kind,
They'll take whatever godness is offered
and run with it until they get tired,
If women only give a little of themselves,
The well will overflow and the relationship
becomes more intense,
The law of least effort comes to the rescue,
delivering women from relationship issues....

The fame of glory,
They told me,
Our old father's story,
We were told we are holy,
Living the same life,
We are living stingy,
In penury we are happy,
What a pity!!!
Dirty gifts becomes an embraced thing,
Poverty reigns,
Injustice a king we behold,
Scolded truth in tune,
We were fooled,
That's the only way out,
Dishonesty the rule,
A way of life,
To a sound of their mind....

Money!
Dumbfounded means
Perceiving riches.
After your accumulation,
shatter the hope of satisfaction.
I become hungry and thirsty.
Resulting in stealing and fraud.
I become stingy and active.
Believing in the hope you give,
leaving my back,
when the tide turns.
I see you,
as a fair weather friend.
You never support fully.
Money,the destruction you have caused....
