Bust Today, the Only Way

take, take, who’s on the make? and do some people have a vested stake? now tax is surely a painless way, to right whole countries and save the day, if medals are struck as some time they may in honour of those who have made the way, and what will the legends and letters say as Ireland and Greece go down the slide, and Portugal's on a roller coaster ride, (doctors) have made provision for this long haul way, no more to boom! It’s bust, bust, bust, so the interest pillow is a dead cert must! but have our saviours’ today, managed to saddle still salvageable economy's into a hundred years of H P paydays..? © Joe Maverick 31-1-2011 for Carolyn Devonshire's (taxing times contest)

What a powerful way to deliver the news Joe; such a mess so many are in and still they don't pull in their horns. Great entry for Carolyn's contest, she will love it as I did!

A profound write, by my deep and worldly friend! It's hard to say if the taxing times will be the relief funds needed.:( It certainly stirs the minds and hearts of so many, Joe! Congratulations on your win, with this thought provoking write! Best wishes! Love, Mikki

this was a very good write, really reading this one, very creative piece. thank you for commenting on Little Blue Eyes, yes it is, i have written about my granddaughter, but mostly about brandon, because i see him more. I told my son to bring her over then i would write more about her also, they both inspire me though.

Hi Joe, I'm afraid I haven't had much time for reading lately. My best friend's mother is in hospice and is expected to die in the next day or two. I've known her mother well since we were 14 years old. Trying to make some time for the Soup is even a challenge now, but I will provide some feedback as soon as I'm able to finish reading your book. Love, Carolyn

I wish our economy was salvageable Joe but I don't think that's possible anymore. What is an H P payday? I enjoyed your entry. Good luck in the contest, Diane
