F-22 going once...

Speechifications of warnings and doom,
Political speech is funny.
Whether it's smiles or whether it's gloom,
Underneath it's just about money.

The Splash of Cash

Money's a liquid; it levels its peaks
and it fills, exerts pressure, and most of all leaks.

Dentist

First you open
wide for gropin’,
fists clenched tight
while you keep hopin’
for your luck to please be willing
to make sure you’re spared the drilling
(which is prep for toothy filling)
followed finally by the billing.

Just a Regular Sort

I will wear shirts with the starchiest collars,
shoes much too tight and a tie of high culture.
I'll wear those when I get my billions of dollars
To show that -- aw shucks -- I'm a regular vulture.

Leverage

Sammy, who had just a buck,
thought he would test his good luck.
Here, if he loses, is what he will do:
he'll borrow another two bucks from you.

Through a window placed shockingly high,
a young banker was training his eye
right on Sammy -- and why? In order to try
to place a big bet on the luck of that guy.

Then next -- and this was no prank --
the banker just anted his bank.
Here, if he loses, is what he will do:
he'll borrow another two banks. And from you.

And look -- through a window still higher
is another guy; also a spyer.
It's his job to make sure the economy runs
but just now it's a wager he sees as more funs.

So thus was an über-bet made.
Would Sammy's good luck hold or fade?
Remember, it's true if they lose what they'll do:
Borrow two more; one from me, one from you.
