Troy Jeremy Nelson Poet I do not know?

Chocolate Covered Barbie Beans

lonely old mansion
walkie talkie doesn't work
doesn't matter anyway
nothing ever did
the art of saving a life
understanding that market
tickles you pink
when all you really wanted
was a chocolate covered barbie
the coffee bean flavored chocalate barbie

understanding the market all year round
golden eyes on the easter prize
buying pumpkins dirt cheap to sell them for a profit at halloween
pumpkin pie all year round...

whats your game?
coffee and barbies?
eggs and donuts
who cares about insider trading
sue me
are we that blind to see
the cycle of our holidays repeats and repeats

this is my hobbie
buying all your old ties like a grinch
selling them back to you five years later
for a huge up sale 
and you have no clue
how i am dirt rich sittin in a tiny pew

famous bibles worth more than you know
chocolate covered barbies
eggs and smarties
popcorn market salesman
anything to sell and trade
funny you cant do any of that on ebay
thanks to twitter
these war crimes are more of a paper goose chase maze
that i guess no one saw coming

i'll take your tickle me elmo
sell it for a dime more than i bought it
invest in cracker smacks
seal the deal
and drive away in my sportster before the world looks back
clues into 
uncovered tracks

its not voodoo
my tarot cartomancer
the world has cycles and we sell them to eachother
its not hard to predict the pattern now is it
this is your market
do you think if i gave you a calender you could stay ahead of the game?

maybe buy and sell and trade barbies on your cell phones
for the big pay off
one application for a friendly future
to end world hunger

Anthony Nutter December 25, 2009 at 8:13 PM I like the style of your writing, it seems as though you are speaking directly to the person reading your work. Interesting read.

Sara Kendrick December 25, 2009 at 4:43 PM Interesting write here. The junk man that buys what we don't want and resales it. Keep the pen flowing. Sara
