Overdraft finds me chill and off balance

Penuriousness long did acquaint

yours truly, who feels loath

to lodge complaint

regarding series of unfortunate events

(Lemony Snicket be damned)

imposed monetary constraint,

now aghast with horror

(ain't no trick),

I unwittingly did faint,

only negative indebted interest accrues,

now if ever mister money bags I haint,

no gainsay purposelessness

to air principal plaint,

yet to fulfill personal daily quota

regarding poem writing

subliminally eases restraint

prompting good samaritan

deeds subsequent anointed saint

homelessness looms around

the corner crimping psyche

argh mental health depressed

courtesy poverty doth taint.

 

Seriously folks (especially Bugs Bunny),

I best coon sitter

turning over new leaf versus "fake"

gilded pretense success and posthumous

famous author doth leave me awake

nsync courtesy restless leg syndrome

shakes bed (lamb - spouse) like earthquake,

whereby thwack with her elbow

finds broken rib cage, when thus spake

Zarathustra bidding me to branch off

and leave writing... say kickstart

panhandling as faux grubstake

with global warming...

formerly deeply buried

untold bajillion dollars free,

for taking, thus best not forsake

golden, silver, bronze... opportunity

analogously swimming within monied lake,

or accumulate stash tall as Taj Mahal

and/or Trump Tower livingsocial footloose

and fancy free gourmandizing

till I resemble Mar-a-lago sized beefcake

 

recklessly splurging penny wise

and pound foolish

proudly arrogantly boasting

what cutthroat tactics can accomplish,

hmm... perhaps contemplating

on whim purchasing Greenland

for a song (infringing,

extracting, bilking... copyrights) swish

goes signature scribble to abolish

purposeless law meant as hedge

to sideline ruthless machiavellian brash

art of the deal done courtesy genius

eh... so what if the global

financial market doth crash, viz fillet of fish?
