Ask Atlas to shrug-

off the looters at his ear

and laissez-nous faire.

Chasing Terabithia

Bricks from the wall won’t

Make a reliable bridge-

The cohesive will.

Look around everywhere you turn is heartache
It’s everywhere that you go
You try everything you can to escape
The state debt that you owe

When all else fails and you long to be
Something better than you are today
I know a place where you can get away
It’s called the house floor, and here’s what it’s for, so

Come on, Owe
Let the money move, you can use it
Hey, hey, hey
Come on, Owe
Let the money go with the flow
You know you can do it

All you need is your own elocution
So use it that’s what it’s for
Go inside, for your finest declamation
Your speech will open the door

It makes no difference if you’re bald or wide
If you’re a saint or a jerk
If the money’s pumping it will give you new life
You’re a superstar, yes, that’s what you are, you know it

Come on, Owe
Let the money move, you can use it
Hey, hey, hey
Come on, Owe
Let the money go with the flow
You know you can do it

Riches, where you find it?
Not just where you count and spend it
Revival in the fiscal
That’s where ya feel so bountiful
Taxable, life’s a ball
So get up on the house floor

Come on, Owe
Let the money move, you can use it
Hey, hey, hey
Come on, Owe
Let the money go with the flow
You know you can do it

Owe, Owe
Riches, where ya find it?
Owe, Owe
Riches, where ya find it?

South says no, and fo’ sho’
Robbing Joe to pay Joe
Ole Miss and Texas scream
On the cover of a magazine

Big Apple; Garden State
Pictures of many mistakes
Peach State, Motor City
Alabama, in misery

They are hurt, they need help
Unemployment is not swell
Arizona, Minnesota, too
California, spent a slew

States with an attitude
Others that are on the move
Don’t just sit there, let’s get to it
Sign the bail, do something with it

Owe, Owe

Come on, Owe
Let the money move, you can use it
Hey, hey, hey
Come on, Owe
Let the money go with the flow
You know you can do it

Tug of War

A strip of land sieged,

bids Allah and Jehovah

a conflict treaty.

Blago goes to Wonderland

Down the rabbit hole

a bottle labeled “Sell Me”

tempts a sennet’s eye.

Larry, the Shackled Mayor

rhondalust — Thu, 04 Dec 2008 03:23:39 +0000

Oh Larry, O Larry!

Say, have you met Larry?

Larry, the shackled mayor.

He has clothes and bling adorned so

accepting gifts even more so.

Oh Larry, Oh Larry that thief-elementary

Oh Larry, the King of Larcny

On his back, a massive federal coup

Beside it, a city under sewage too!

And proudly above waves the Red, White, and Blue,

You can learn alot from Larry!

Inspired by the famous Groucho Marx song, Lydia the Tattooed Lady.

Ode on a Mumbai Urn

rhondalust — Sun, 30 Nov 2008 17:16:42 +0000

Three pipers piping

Many chiefs a fiddling, and a

sobbing Temple Tree.

My condolences to the families and friends who lost loved ones in Mumbai, India.

A Count Ability?

rhondalust — Fri, 28 Nov 2008 21:32:39 +0000

Frankly, a dead tally.

A cold man sneers as he passes

a bushel of gore.

Punctuation

rhondalust — Fri, 28 Nov 2008 21:30:17 +0000

The motherless R_____,
noosed in a scarf,
declares freedom from the want of birth
and punctuates it with a Maker’s Mark.

Inspired by “The Headless Bust” by Edward Gorey.
