Altruistically assisting <br />Presuming I do help, <br />To bring us into surplus <br />Before the month runs out, <br />Fiscal obliteration <br />Resounds inside of thee <br />Transubstantiation <br />Your wealth relies on me... <br /> <br />Thanks for the thanks, but no thanks <br />Gratitude should be sincere. <br /> <br />Exhalation of your worries <br />As you offer up your hand, <br />“Thank you! For doing this! <br />You know you are the man? ” <br />A petulant retreat <br />To avoid transparency, <br />Of tearing inner conflict <br />Nearing calamity... <br /> <br />Thanks for the thanks, but no thanks <br />Indebted shamelessly! <br /> <br />Requesting more of I <br />Then I really have to give, <br />It’s just a job to me <br />But the future for your kids, <br />Insightfully placated <br />Accepting honour-bound, <br />Words of praise and thanks <br />Opinion turned around... <br /> <br />Thanks for the thanks, but no thanks <br />Understanding’s now austere. <br />Thanks for the thanks, its worth more <br />Then money, sweat and tears. <br />19/6/09 Ado<br /><br />Adam Parker<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/thanks-for-the-thanks-but-no-thanks/
