Another Saturday Night

Another Saturday night

There'll be no redemption

So flat broke

I can’t pay attention


Nowhere to go

Its outright rejection

Friends avoiding me

Like a lethal injection


Best I go to church 

And pray for protection

Maybe pick up some dollars

When they pass the collection


I might as well die

But it’s too much complications

The price of saving grace

Is soaring with implications


Bye bye, you see…

There’ll be no revelations

No beautiful women

To ease my situation
 

Oh my poor me

I’m filled with more distractions 

Another Saturday night

And I can't get satisfaction



Another Haiku for you....


Give for caring sake

Not with a pitiful face

Love the human race

Lady Labyrinth Date: 7/7/2019 4:53:00 AM YOU NEED TO FIND A RICH WOMAN....become a GIGOLO; kill two birds with the one stone...and then after that, go to Confession. 3 Hail Mary's, Leanne Xx Login to Reply Arturo Michael Date: 7/7/2019 5:14:00 AM The way women are today...Might not reach the confession box alive...So I'll say 3 Hail Mary's and 2 Our Fathers's as often as i can....Maybe mercy might be sprinkled on me

Andrea Dietrich Date: 7/6/2019 7:03:00 PM haha. I thought right away of "another saturday night and I ain't got no money" This was good work. I especially enjoyed picking up dollars from the collection plate! Login to Reply Arturo Michael Date: 7/7/2019 5:28:00 AM I did that on purpose...playing with words...but it's true...I don't want to give anyone any ideas...but i'm sure someone must have taken donations from the collection basket before...with these awful situation people get themselves into...
