Pay the rent, money's spent, need a stent,
another fucking dent in my car, third so far!
What are all my clothes doing in those
rose blossoms? Somebody toss'em?
SO fucking awesome, starting my day this way.
Fill the tank, then the bank, my balance sank
to blank just that quick, makes me sick
as I pick up my receipt from the neat,
smiling cheat behind the windows. This really blows.
To the shops, eyed by cops near the mops,
it never stops! Cans are shifting, displays start drifting,
I'm NOT shoplifting! I protest my arrest
with zest. Where's my attorney, Bernie?
Police report, then to court, Bernie's the sort
of a sport who will guarantee I'll be free.
Then fuck me! He turns around without a sound
as I found the judge's decision was prison!
I can't stay where people say I must pay
this way! Start to run, there's a gun,
I come undone as it smokes, my breath chokes,
blood soaks the ambulance gurney...fuckin' Bernie!!!

Author Notes
The easiest way to explain Vers Beaucoup is it's a 4-3-3-2 format with no more than 3 words PER RHYME. A lot of people get thrown by that part. It can have less, but no more than 3. It's EASY!!! lol
a-a-a-
a-b-b-
b-c-c
c-d-d.
Example:
a a a
Photos turn white/ overnight/ in my sight./
a b b
I can't fight/ with you anymore/ in this war/
b c c
with no score./ The muse /will lose/
c d d
when you choose/ to have pride,/ then hide.
This enjambment gives the form a strong internal rhyme scheme
and the minimalist word usage helps to push the message to the reader. (I'm hoping, of course.)
For my old friends, hello again!! For all my new friends, hello! Just a little comedy piece in the style I love to play with to get back in the swing of things. I hope you enjoy it.
