#misers
Have you a friend, A really tight chump, As tight as words on paper, Or the air of a grunt, The color in amber, Or the lines Of adjoing wall-paper? His money's still green, He's cheap to extremes, If you got one You know what I mean. He's a penny-pinching Miserable miser. Yet he eats out more, Does the Florida tour; But sits bowling my pipe, Enjoying my wine, Never to think To return in kind. He's a skin-flint Tight-assed Marner.

Cheap, Cheap, Cheap (Not a Spring Poem)
Rage of a miser... In a rocket to the moon Is a variety the vanity we expect, finer Light's and jewels of fame, can be found at home The engines pearl, and then cease Such a futile grace, for a lunar lander The wake and sake we exact, to science Is ours for a penny pinched, and an answer handier Gold is a rock-hard silence, so thick it fell in love with you Travail, in its wayward sigh, to wishes of silver stars, which meticulously hide And behave perfectly, with a rolling sleep, is a bronze couth? To these, no man's irony, has a face of determination, that is sly... Misers be ****** nature must take it's turn With the full cheeks of wisdom, or the kissing eye's of reason Are we to assume, the deafness of space, to earn? A callous, but well, beautiful way to courage's season: On the ground we call tomorrow A strange fate. for a muddy face and its charity of nose Today is a shrewd levity in low, to seek the higher today, to borrow Yesterday's smile, from a sorry voice, ready to dance the most Over to you... Sweet muscles and guaranteed weight, or realer sate Of a remembered question, come from a mouth to rage at a fool Is a worldly eye ready for me, when a tongue hungry for our fate...
