There was once this little kid
who his parents had called him Skip
just right before they departed
living behind what they thought was a retarded
little skip grew
so much like many few
Skip be came a young man
fighting his way to the promise land
his sense of people grew with him
his shrewdness was a way for a new begin
Skip jumped on a ship
he was a mature young Skip
fast with his mind and mouth
left his opponents going South
finally reaching the promise land
there was nobody to give him a hand
working from dumpsters
up to bell boy kind of monsters
up to receptionist had less quacksters
up and up he scaled
and was glad to have no bail
he was in his mid twenties
an had a lot of worries
but he loved the worries
and hated those sorries
He new buildings and people
such knew things
Skip legally changed his name
with absolutely no shame
to his favourite cartoon character named Donald
and had nothing to do with MacDonlad
it was the quack the dummy who every body underestimated
later learning and feeling lamented
He got into construction
having no distraction
pure focus
shrewd mentality
no equality
He was going to triumph
brick after brick
his highrises made people sick
He was at the top
and now everybody knew him as Donald Trump
Stay Frosty gents and gentesses.
“Adversity makes creativity” very true, and I would also say strong personality… beautiful poem! have a nice Sunday!
Yes, it either brakes you or makes you stronger. Hopefully the latter for most people. Glad you liked it, you too have a great Sunday.
Very interfering story!
Thank you caroline, I was going to say sweet caroline tata ta ta……remember that song? it was in one of Julia Roberts films, one of the early ones.
Now I´ll go look up what in the world does “interfering” means.
Lol it was supposed to be interesting!! That’s what I get for commenting in the middle of the night.
You mean that word? it means interesting then…..
Interesting Chuck. I like how you body board over the waves of problematic little bitches!
Keep your head up
Keep your heart strong
Keep your mind straight
Keep your hair long. Ben Howard
Wasn´t talking about myself, although Mr. Howard does have a cool little saying, specially you hair long, I need to get myself some extension though.
I know this Mr Priest. You know me and you know that I know, that you know that I know these things. These things are what make themselves known to me. Know what I mean?
If you mean what I think you mean then I really mean what I said and I don´t thing it was mean but sort of like a mean in a ………. have run out
Well played.
True story 🙂
Good stuff, like always. Enjoy your Sunday.
Thanks, you to enjoy you Sunday.
Great poem Charly, not a fan of Donald Trump, but great none-the-less. Enjoy what’s left of your weekend my friend. 🙂
Me neither are a Trump fan, it´s sort of ended that way, I got to Donald and then the Trump just popped in my head as I was writing about bricks and buildings. Go figure the beauty of creativity.
I honestly think your work is great inspiration and would like to nominate you for Liebster Blog Award.

Thank you very much, I really appreciate it. Specially that you think my “poetry” is semi good and inspirational. And that´s all I could ask for. No awards needed, but still very appreciative that you would think of my writing. Thank´s again.
My Pleasure! Oh! Charlypriest, you are pretty humble. Why semi good? I like your writing because they are honest.
compared to other poets, I wouldn´t say I´m one quarter of good like you people. Although I love reading you guys and I actually have quite a lot of fun writing my own little things. Really for me it´s all about having fun and then communicating it, be it one person that reads it or 100 is not too much of my concern. I´m not going to live out of this writing thing, so I might as well learn and have fun with it and not stress myself
Wow! I appreciate and respect your thoughts deeply. Glad to know that you write just for the fun of it. I love this. You are incredible.
nice work Sir Spaniard – one comment – now we don’t say retarded – that’s called the R word and we try not to use that these days… ha! jk….
