Poor Man's Curtsey- An Interactive Poem

 

 

The Low Bass Guitar string vi-brates,
As your voice sings it’s harmony.

Dew...Do..  
Dewdew…. Do.Do.

Maintain the beat,
Tap your feet.

Dew..Do
Dewdew…Do.Do.

Dew..Do
Dewdew…DoDo.

Open your mouth
And bring it out…..

Mr. Tax man
Can’t you see..
You got MY pockets…
EMP…TY!

Mr. Tax man
Where’s my RELIEF?
I got no Gravy for my
Meat.

Dew..Do.
Dewdew..Do.Do.

Dew..Do.
Dewdew..Do.Do.

Mr. Tax Man
I’m MAD as HELL,

You got me singing
The Poor Man blues

Mr. Tax Man
I SEE through YOU
Jason and Freddie
Are SALUTING You!

Dew..Do.
Dewdew..Do.Do.

Dew..Do
Dewdew..Do.Do.

Mr. Tax Man
Return to me,
The money-tree
You stole from me.

I’ve been paying MORE
Then my share,
Come here boy, I got
A WHITE COLLAR for you.

Dew..Do.
Dewdew..Do..Do.

Sick ‘em boy,
The pill maker machines,
Shiny brass of Oil market dreams,
Hungry fella? ….Take a BITE!
Fill that fat belly with PURE delight.

Dew..Do.
Dewdew..Do..Do..

Dew..Do.
Dewdew..Do.Do.

That’s a good Dawg,
Good..good Dawg!

The Poor man’s Curtsey
The end.

    well i like your view on this b/c i play guitar and i know the stressful feeling of playing in front of someone.. im glad you entered this into my contest.. this is something of what i was looking for.. the only problem with this is, it didnt make me have raging thoughts and want to start writing.. i like the emotion of this poem and how it talks about the tradgedy of the economy and what we as people have to deal with in this poor mans song, but it also shows his side of emotions and trying to keep up.. i liked it.. thank you once again and good luck.

    Cute and funny. I guess I'm not much for the interactive stuff. I couldn't quite get into it. Though I do know how you feel, want my money back too!

    this is good, very to the point and simple. It reflects the bass guitar well. Very nice!

    It takes open eyes to see what you put forth in your words. My favorite part was;

    Sick ‘em boy,
    The pill maker machines,
    Shiny brass of Oil market dreams,
    Hungry fella? ….Take a BITE!
    Fill that fat belly with PURE delight.

    Really shows the mindset we have in North America and how our governments treat us. Shoving medications down our throats (because it makes them money) same with the oil (more money) and lets face it.. there are a LOT of fat people in the world today lol.
    I liked how you presented this as well, got a rythm going and stuck it through, the rhyming scheme was great as well. this would make a good song.
    Best of luck in the contest!

    very cool. funny and at the same time deadly serious. I dig this a lot. Takes nerve to take a risk and try something different.
