Short Taxed Poems

Loving pain is not a crime
Taxed mind
Company time
And where do I go?
Glued to delusion
Far from a lifetime
Deeper grave dug
With every return
Flaming teeth
Light drowning fires...

Little Bo Peep, taxed out of her sheep

How many does Big Oh need to keep?

Leading them about

With rhetorical shout

Over pomp and circumstance knee deep

The hour is late
I long to write
Thoughts are few
A long empty night

Over taxed mind
A writer's wage
My head is empty
On a yearning page

Perhaps, tomorrow
Gone, dearth of rhyme
As bard within
Urges spirits climb...

Tried and tested by a virus, novel
I sit by the hearth of my lowly hovel
Taxed some more, without relief
Our kings, of their infallibility, grow in belief

Stimulus packages to the Lords
Home based care for the lowly sods
Dynastic games they play
The masses can only moan and pray...

An incidental opportunity for romance
Arose one night in Paris, France
It happened across the room with a glance
That turned into a trance
He walked over and asked her if she’d like to dance
A long term relationship developed from chance
Regretting his adulterous experience that taxed his finance....

Del is one of our best friends (1500 on 4/8/2017)
from Wichita, Kansas and was
usher at our wedding. He and
his wife are visiting us.

About Del we always do tease;
He seems so perfectly at ease;
His demeanor is to be relaxed;
Never bothered or ever taxed;
Ability continues to increase.

The color,
don't blush,
nor pay tax,
because is not
  taxed ...
Nor It is an 
offensive tackle,
not  the color of sin ...
I do not intend to provoke
hustle and bustle, nor have
nothing with that ....
I'm totally free
and innocent ...
just parade others
brownish color,
tanned.they are
free, freely ...!...

Sullivan  stole my dime
                                    He was taxed with the crime
                                            In my backyard
                                            My Sully  feared
                                    He might pay with the rhyme

Here we sit in a world of today,
listening to what they have to say,
what was what is and what will be,
a change a new President a new economy, 
as our pockets empty and mouths grow hungry,
prices rise and wall street fall we all see,
they want us to listen and learn from the past,
tomorrows here as we still get taxed,...

A FOUL WIND

When a waiter or a waitress
Seems to go the extra mile,
With a dollop of attention
Or the sprinkle of a smile

Then the meal is so much better
‘Cause the mood is so relaxed;
Conversation keeps on flowing,
No one’s patience getting taxed.

Service such as I’m describing
Sure deserves a big reward,
So when tipping time approaches,
Give the most you can afford....

I am trying to decide,
who is more qualified,
I think taxes should be paid,
but every one should be the same.
They all seem to have a plan,
but do they really understand.
The working man has to carry the load,
for the gravy train many know.
If money is to be taxed,
one time should be the max.
Not when you earn it,
but when you spend it.
It's broken, can we mend it?...

Income
A little oldy gave me a dollar.
I gave her two in return.
The little old lady gave me two.
I gave her three in return.
The little old lady gave me four. 
I gave her five in return.
The little old lady gave me five.
I gave her five in return.
The little old lady Ask me why i only gave her five.
I said "the Government would declare it a income and I would be taxed...

Reckon it’s time to get out that dusty gitfiddle, 

and maybe relax just a little,

Strum up and old song,

And sing along.

Been a year since I did,

What I learned as a kid.

It does help me relax,.

When my mind is taxed.

Sometimes just a three chord melody,

Is enough to set my spirit free.

Let’s see…what song shall I sing….

.          Crap!

 I broke a dang string!...

Every layer amassed vertically on the previous

Quintessentially abdicated from the next’s cornerstone

Upward from yet another illuminated chlorophyll-filled vascular vessel

Inspiring the growth of the next generation

Seemingly taxed at consecutive intervals

Each layer recedes like roman pilasters.

Tolling delicately to not topple the tower 

Umbilical to existence,

Mother of creation is left on top....

Extracting in this

Retrieve or forgive

Deceptive so much

Worthy, not as such.



A gathering index

Of priceless flames

Still taxed every time

Ruthless these claims.



In sever times

Why is price so priced?

While rated or unrated

Valued unstably at rise.



Till it's not garnishing

The favour of returns

Life is not an investment

It's just another turn.

I need an out
I need a release
I need to shout
I need this to cease

I need not worry 
I need a place
I need to calm this furry
I need some space

I need no one near
I need my time
I need you not fear
I need to sublime

I need you to relax
I need to vent 
I need to not feel so taxed
I need this moment 

I need to yell
I need to seethe
I need to come off this swell
I need to breathe…

I need you all...

use it or loose it be free float hope and trust
you will be liberated from the clutches of the cancer...

Welfare's a little
too cheap for their jobs.
Blaming their leaders
whom we would call snobs.

Government money kept
by those higher.
Never sent down
that welfare acquire.

Starved of our money
while taxed to our spite.
Jobs for these hypocrites:
governed in blight.

Wages unfair
for government work.
Salaries so high
they're debts for a clerk.

Power above
that's not coming down.
Money not shared
and damned by the Crown....
