Stimulus
Seems like such a good thing,
too bad there’s an agenda;
It’s strangling the middle class,
making us all dependent
under the guise of a helping hand;
Later we will see the remnants
upside down and inflated;
Shame on us for letting them.

The Democrats are out of touch

They wanted to help
But you're simply not worth that much!

They Never Will
So now we got a stimulus check,
our pockets full, one would expect.
Our larder crammed with cans and jars
to see us through Old Winter's wars.
If only true, it would be nice.
This small amount just won't suffice.
Our sons have mittens, though threadbare;
but better than their underwear.
The blankets--two apiece, but thin.
Their shoes: sad sights, just to begin.
The soup

My stimulus paid half the bills
It came from Capitol hill
I said, one more please
They were just a tease
Fighting to pass it, gave me a chill

The Stimulus Check
My neighbor passed in July but her mail keeps coming. I didn't know why. Our mail boxes are very small. I haven't lived here long and hardly knew her at all. Perhaps her son was too bereft to notify the post office of her death? I tried reaching out to him on the phone but

Second Third Fourth Stimulus Checks
Second, third, fourth... stimulus check(s)...
ah... the stuff a dream come true would be made!
Such would constitute,
the closest phenomena
approximating winning the lottery
cuz yours truly never blessed
winning sizable, nor
minuscule amount of money
beset with one after another setback
token scapegoat (no kidding),
plus puny size linkedin
with spindle shank legs
always bullied and
derided as laughingstock.
Whether rich or dirt poor...
since being young unemployed

Stimulus For Breakfast
Who would’ve thought that we would be eating stimulus for breakfast, 1200 dollars, no more, no less. Why couldn’t the stimulus be for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Again we see that the government is still in control, for they are still the winner. Stimulus taste better with some change. It’s time to past the

Joe Tries To Get His Stimulus Check
Joe tried to get his stimulus check,
It wasn’t there and he said “oh, heck!”
Gawking at a man’s hand
Nearly fell in some sand,
And lost his footing off his own deck.
The man asked “Were you trying to see
What I was holding, Mr. McDee?”
Then he showed him his check.
And Joe muttered, “Oh, heck!’
I have not got one. How

Stimulus
people are sick
society stifled and slowly sliding away
will one willingly escape
from stagnant airs
kiss me says the fool
six pence none the richer
but richer they claim to be
in shallow folds
of bills
put off to tomorrow
shaking hand(out)s
without any silly gloves
it's not greed
when you act out
when a want is a need
distance what distance
(un)masked attention
let's be social
(in)security
no content nor consideration

Midst Love-Blest Stimulus
God-wrought wonders, miraculous
Great deeds, omnipotence-proven
Exposing His grace, marvelous*
Revealing glimpse of grand heaven…
Moving my spirit, faith-driven
To vanquish doubts, ridiculous
While in Christ’s mercy --- forgiven
Serving midst love-blest stimulus.
*Psalm 9:1 I will praise thee, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy marvellous works.

The Stimulus
when I said bring your hand
she did submit her hand
though the fingertip hesitated
for the amber glow gesticulated
I told her come closer
and she slowly came by
the forehead protruder
for the sense an intact ruler
as I waited for the conscious act
though with little hope and speculation
she turned to sigh and tact
for the three teardrop sensation
unable to say

The Stimulus of My Love
If from love I should flee
To hide the shame that smudges my name
According to a lovers’ decree
I’d have only my incompetence to blame
While her heart throbs
Expecting action and perceiving inaction
Swept into an inquiry that probes
Why my predilection
To dither
To lose the power to utter how much I love her
When her presence makes my knees
