And Then Some

8/15/17


Beyond guns and funds
Involving moons and suns
From here to kingdom come
And then some


By the skin of one's teeth
Above and beneath
Any peak
Near and far from fields of wheat
Or creeks

Won't always be a cinch
Even in a pinch
Just might cause you or others to flinch
Thus requiring the use of a winch

All along
Rather get it right then wrong
And do a bang-up job
Before I'm gone


Don't be an egghead
Caught up with what he and she said
Make sure you and your family stay fed


It may require a lot of elbow grease
Despite if you just want peace
And to buy and make your family a feast with meats and sweets
Whether or not it has to do with your pockets getting obese
Regardless of similar and different beliefs
Will everything eventually cease?
