Conch

4/21/17



Near and far from any kind of conch
Animals and humans with a paunch
While others are gaunt

Some just want
To flaunt
What they got
Like it or not

A stance considered staunch
To get business done and the point across

Bad experiences for many that daunt
And continue to haunt

Items bought
With little to any thought
Never used and forgot
Left in a box

Beers brewed with little or extra hops
Ranging in various costs
And available in similar or different shops

People obsessed with slots
And winning the jackpots

You talk alot
Of hog wash
Non-stop
Nothing of substance or quality, far from top notch


Some did or didn't get caught
Later on or at the very spot
Getting shot or locked
Away, and paying the cost
