Cabbage and Beans
Oh, cabbage and beans, I can't afford rent
I just can't believe how my paycheck was spent
It's not like I'm living so high on the hog
Everyday has become a perpetual slog
Then I look at the pics of the ballroom he's planned
It warms up my cockles and opens my hand
I find it inspiring how they're all getting rich
While I sit here farting from hunger and bitch
And you might think it strange that I can't let it go
But deep down, I'm quite a maga-nificent hoe
So dry up your tears and squeeze out a shout
And praise be my "trump", the incorrigible lout!

"I sure do think of those things; but most of all, I am reminded of the raw power that big money wields over our politics. I know we like to think that it isn't so, but truth denied isn't untrue." At least in the past, e…" -

About Me
About me
restless, passionate, sometimes reckless. Favourite form is limericks, prefer rhyming, structured work.
Most of my work is very personal, so it may seem I don't write much because I don't post these poems. I have self published 6 books of poetry that I share with people I consider truly life inspiring friends.
You can bet I would never consider publishing with a company because of the crap a lot of them promote.
