Some Short, Semi-Subversive Poems

"Red Tide":   An algae bloom could cause your doom if you eat the shellfish./ It will be your just desserts if your very selfish./ An algae bloom can make you ill/ please don't eat the oysters/ if you do, like aging nuns, could be in a six-foot under cloyster.           An algae bloom can cause distress if you eat some mussels. Which will affect you Inside-Out, especially [the] Corpuscles.

"Spend, Spend, Spend":  Spend, Spend, Spend, that is the trend/ Bankruptcy's around the bend./ Credit cards are to the max [Maxed Out]/ Bill Collector'(s) on our backs./ Don't pay your bills on time?/ Your creditors will not abide./ They'll try to take your every dime./ If you can't pay off your loan/ Repo-Man come(s) to your home./ Are you spending all your money?/ The IRS won't think it's funny./ If you don't have spending cash/ Best set aside a monthly stash. [Or your future will be trashed.]/ It ain't no fun to be in Debt,/ But if you're rich you are all set.

"The Outcome of Your Income":  The Outcome of Your Income is a Tax./ Every April Uncle Sam attacks [Your Wallet!]/ Which oft puts the Taxman on our backs/ [You] might as will send a CPA a fax/ For Compassion the IRS it Lacks/ 'Cuz they'll Audit you or Tax you to the max.

BTW, I forgot to mention in my previous post that I once anonymously posted a typewritten copy of haves vs. have-nots in the Break Rm. where I used to work and my former boss ripped it down as soon as he saw it.
