I Want To Leave This World With A Little Something

This Cowboy came into this world with nothing. So when you said you were leaving, I said " Fine." Now I hope I'll find me a little something. That can take me out to dinner, and fine dine. (Repeat) (That can take me out to dinner, and fine dine) You see, I always paid the bills with my own money, and you know these times have - a - changed. So when I hand the bill back to you honey. Please don't give me that awful look of shame. (Repeat) (Oh don't give me that awful look of shame.) I got concerned, my savings were depleting, My gut told me, she was -a- spending and -a- stealing. I asked her nicely, to sign a prenup. Her response was, "Hell No, I'm not!" "Hell no I'm not!" The look she had was priceless. She said "I ain't -a- signing!" Yelled, "Kiss my Ass Darling," and stormed out the room like lightening. Oh, She stormed out the room like lightening. Now I'm not a prize Prince, and she ain't no Beauty Queen. But after having a few Drinks. Cowgirl, looked better, the more I drank Gin. Oh, She looked better, the more I drank Gin So it saddens me to say goodbye to her, and if you ask her, she'd say I was a Jerk. Truth be told the reason why. My credit card balance, reached the sky. Oh, my Credit card balance, reached the sky. Now I wasn't born yesterday, and this Cowboy knows a trick or two. When a Cowgirl says, " I love You." Hide your wallet, and Credit Cards too! Oh,"Hide your wallet, and Credit Cards, too!" Cause you want to leave this world with a little something, and not penny less by your darling. Not left penny less by your darling. Please don't think all women are all bad. It was bad luck, this cowboy had. Wishing for a cowgirl, that saves, not spends, so We can ride into the sunset once again. Oh Yes, We can ride into the sunset once again. Now you ask me what the Moral of this story is? And, I'll answer you with my reply. When you find a cowgirl, and you know it's right. Hide your money, cause she'll take it, out of sight. (Repeat) (Hide your money, cause she'll take it, out of sight.) So, when you leave this world you'll have a little something, and You won't be taken to the Cleaners, by your Cowgirl wife. (Repeat) (No, You won't be taken to the cleaners, by your Cowgirl wife.) ............ And you'll have a little something... This was written in fun, truth be told women are much more to be trusted than men...

Veryunique, and priceless Michael! I laughed at the end, I trust men more than women…yet I am a woman? How incredulous! Even though I have met uncaring, men in my life. Pangie

Hahah dear michael, this man sounds like he knows atleast to be careful, and isnt too naive to trust easily. In a world that is filled with greed and deception, one can only hope the love too that they share is sincere and true. I really love the line “ Your intentions for marrying me, are questionable.” That made me laugh! Becauze iv seen similar situations around and iv said this many times in my head, as motives and intentions sometimes arent clear, this is a fun and wise write too! Pleasure reading this, sending you light always

Hello Inky. So sweet to read you comment. Put a smile on my face. Thank you for your appreciation it means a lot. God bless you....

Hello my friend you are so talented... Your lyric poem cleverly blends humour and cynicism, using the cowboy archetype to explore universal themes of love, betrayal, and self-protection. The repeated refrains and casual tone make it an engaging read, while also offering a tongue-in-cheek reflection on the challenges of navigating relationships with trust and money at stake. Hope all is well.. Peace and Blessings..

Aha! I knew there was a musician hidden in your poetry! What a great country song, Michael! This is so creative and written in a very unique style. A song so lyrical, fun and with a morale! Thanks for sharing this poem-ballad! Blessings of spring renewal to you from one musician-lyricist to another!

Hi Sam. I am so glad you are a musician-Lyricist. It is so much fun to write and then to see it put into music is so refreshing Sam. Maria Williams and her husband Ron get all the credit for putting the lyrics into music, Maria and Ron do such a great job. On YouTube they have a music video channel called Poetic Rhythms they put together the song and video to A Wish Upon A Star which I wrote the lyrics to. Sam if you have some spare time please check out their YouTube channel. Thank you for your compliment and I will be stopping by to see your latest poetry...

You write songs? This impresses me as something a talented song writer would pen. I heard this in my head being sung by a familiar voice to music I recognized, as I read it. I can't place the singer right now, but it was perfect for the country song in my head, perfect. Do you sing? I know, I'm a multiple question asker. Poetry Hugs ... CayCay

Lyrics first Cay Cay. Maria and Ron do the music. They are great at it. I don't sing I just write the lyrics for the song. Many years ago I played as a drummer in a Rock band. We did classic Rock it was a lot of fun but very demanding. The Eagles were my favorite band and we did all their songs. Bob Seger, Fleetwood Mac, Boston, Blue Oyster Cult, etc.

I was all in until I read the word 'subscribe'. I don't know if that would go down well for Tim. How much? Let us ponder! On one hand, I did excite at the prospect of hearing YOU sing and listening to YOUR music. How much? That some can do both lyrics and notes, impresses me immensely. Would LOVE to hear it. Tell me which comes to you first, lyrics or music? CayCay

Hi Cay Cay. It is nice to see you. You took a hiatus. Glad your back. If you on on YouTube and go to Poetic Rhythms it is a channel by Maria Williams. I wrote a song A Wish Upon A Star. If you like subscribe to Maria's channel and leave a comment when you hear the song. This song poem Cay Cay is the next one I want Maria and her husband Ron to work on. They are great poetic song video producers. I am hoping they do this one. I am glad you liked it I have to stop by and read your Poetry. Michael

This poem is brilliant, Michael! I thought it was a musical lyric at first glance and do believe there's a song in there. And it certainly doesn't lack for humor. Bravo, Mr. Music Man

A bit of humor and truth in this one! As a kid loved the song, “Danny’s Song,” - “even though we ain’t got money, I’m so in love with you honey…” So idealistic, unrealistic, but some couples pull it off…a gold digger is demonic! God bless! Often they get what they deserve…the payment steep.

Dear Michael, cant help having a chuckle over this. I love the humor and wisdom in your poem! The storytelling is engaging, and the repetition gives it a great lyrical flow. The message about being careful in love and finances is both entertaining and insightful. Well done! Hugs

My Dear Maria so glad you got a chuckle over it. I was really hoping you would. I had a lot of fun writing this comical piece. I am glad you enjoyed it and I hope you share it with Ron. If I can put a smile on my friends faces it makes me joyful. I am working on two songs this one which I think would go over well and another that is highly emotional and it is about a father and daughter relationship through a separation of Himself and the daughters mother. On Goodbye My Love I re wrote the poem and you had commented on the original one and when I did write it your much adored comment I stupidly erased. I am so sorry cause your words are always inspiring and I treasure them...You and Ron, Lloyd, and Cecillia are special human beings that my wife Judy and I are so fond of. Have a blessed day. Please tell Ron Judy and I are saying hello and sending our love from New York. Hugs...

Ha Ha Ha thank you BJ I am glad you enjoyed. I had fun writing this. My wife said people are going to think it's about me!!! I said no honey your the opposite, and she left him and your still with me. She smiling asked me, do you have a stash of money in the mattress? I fell on the floor laughing. Of course she was kidding and we both laughed. Thank you for your support BJ hugs and Gods blessing to you and your family.

Hi Tom, I am going to read his Poetry my friend. Love Jack and I am glad he's coming back lol. I guess Tom when you are at his age, maybe you forget the decisions you previously made, or his love for Poetry is so great he can never give up posting for his love of Poetry. Either way I am so glad to read and enjoy his humor and silliness and sometimes something amazing that leaves you to realize his Poetic genius. Jack is all these. Thanks for letting me know Tom and thank you for laughing at my silly write...

You won’t need a dime when you leave the world behind, so there’ll be no need of a cash stash. If I were you, to tell you the truth, I’d spend it and enjoy doing so too… Beryl
