Twenty trillion, so he claims,
has hit the White House coffers:
he says we’re rolling in the loot –
where is it?
We’re all playing Hunger Games.
Qataris make him offers.
The Congress has been put on mute –
where is it?
He wants to shaft Letitia James:
no evidence he proffers.
He holds, he says, a winning suit –
where is it?
Kicking butt and naming names -
or Noems – they’re Jimmy Hoffas!
Their policy ‘will soon bear fruit’ –
where is it?
Cuba Gooding, Seal, Ving Rhames,
we’re Jimmy Kimmels, scoffers.
“No Epstein stuff”, yells the galoot:
where is it?
The People’s House goes up in flames,
applauded by his champagne-quaffers.
“International repute” -
where is it?
She was a hooker and she was stacked
and business she and I would transact.
She said “I promise honey
if ya show me the money”
but uh-uh, I prefer an oral contract!

pipe dreams
going down
down
down
the rabbit hole
show me the money
say what! there ain't none?
good thing expectations
weren't high
too
the little voice says, don't give up-never
not on my itinerary
strive to thriving
i, dive
head first
my pen thirst
practice, write, type
practice, type, write
self-conscious and slightly nervous
sometimes question myself, "will they over/stand
the words written and typed by my hands?"
put myself out there regardless
does any one care about
a small town east coast girl
one minute opinion in the obsolete world
speak my mind
scribble my thoughts
there ain't no money anyways
don't look down the rabbit hole
up
up
up and away
when i write i am free
that's better than money
besides, what would i be without
pipe dreams

SHOW ME THE MONEY
Where my Paper at ?
Where my Dollar's at ?
Where's my Bling ?
Where is my Pimped Ride ?
Where are my Hoes at ?
Why am i not Trippin ?
Where my Respect be at ?
Get Dre on the Line ?
Has Shady even returned my Dam Call ?
V.I.P next Big Ting ?
Player's be calling me out
Hollering my Name
Saying he got Game
Where my Fame at ?
Where my Gold Disk at ?
SHOW ME THE MONEY
My Girl
"Show me the money,
“I’ll show you the funny!!”

Slicing through this heart of their matter ? Said the mad hatter..
Giants causeway; going to view a rare as of late movie bits in, escapism
American Hustle it's title given and two facts for myself parted these curtains
Unto another motion picture's canvas: Amy Adams Bradly Cooper having loved their
Pryor performances endearing one's heart again his paradox ? A four star review
Left walking away once more disenchanted afore their final credits could roll of, deja vu
Regurgitated recycled hopeless hurray, for Hollywood ? Show me the money, her mademoiselle
Chimed a cheque in chic; slight be hands pink champagne red roses an invite to, his White House ?
Most every actor's dream come true; rubbing elbows with these tuxedos; slash, trench coats
Turn, and war their words; as baby got a new pair, of ruby red shoes ? Dance the candleman; atop
Silver chairs high up there enter this dox; celluloid impersonations reverberations constipations....
Grab that cash with both hands their golden rule while tossing Dorothy her rainbows edge your hungry.
I thought I would take a chance the other night.
The move I made turned out to be right.
I scratched the silver coating off the ticket I bought.
Lo and behold, see the winning combination I caught!
I feel like going on a shopping spree.
Hello lottery agent, show me the money!
Inspired by another member's poem
OK!! Love is good, love is good,
But hey, will it buy me food,
For bread with love can I pay,
And my bills and taxes too, I say?
For love, much I will toil
And burn the midnight oil,
If love be the legal tender
I'll work as a love peddler.
For my kids' room and board
And for the gas on the road
Love would be the way to pay,
So stash love for the rainy day.
Say, O say until love do reign
Am I merely dabbling in vain?
"You are dreaming again honey"
Taunts wife, "Show me the money!"
