Shaky Finances Poem by Belle Wassermeister

Shaky Finances

Rating: ★5.0


my finances
are in bad shape

just yesterday
I dropped a bundle
in the market

broke a whole
dozen eggs
and a jar
of peanut butter

I am looking at the sensitive aspect of this poem! Poverty....magnified!

There IS no sensitive aspect, Dillip. The poem is simply a joke, a play on words!

The year that comes is never any better or worse, It is man that makes it so, this poem in a way says this.
