On the Usefulness of Comeuppance

Comeuppance is a useful word  
          when confronted by a beggar nerd

        Give him no more than tuppence
          a fitting and proper comeuppance

Smugglers Cave

There was an old stripper called Jacky,
who's act was deemed rather tacky.
But she got her comeuppance 
when, out of her tuppence,
fell six pipes, fifty fags and some baccy.

Just Desserts

There was a crook named  Jum Tuppence
Who stole from people of meager substance.
He tried it on an undercover cop
And was caught right on the spot.
Now Jum is due to get his comeuppance.

Tuppence a Bag

Bluebird, it's cold outside today
So be it, you just stay
In here with me, I'll keep you warm
And wrap you up inside my form
Rest your wings within my love
While snowflakes falling from above 
Just serve to make the scene surreal
To be with you is my ideal

Work Equals Death

Smells like power
But tastes like chicken
Administrative duties
Make my pulse quicken

Let’s hear it for the Boss!
The greedy old troll…
Skeletal hands clutching
You will learn your role!

A street urchin’s tuppence
You earn for your toils…
Like shining Boss’s shoes
And lancing his boils

Your life is at an end
You know it’s just too late
Upon your pauper’s grave
The Boss’s kids will skate
