How To Be a Millionaire: Start Out As a Billionaire

I put money in the stock market, knives were cut sharply
diapers remained unchanged and paper was stationery
toilet paper touched a new bottom, switches were off
feathers were down. the pigs are feeding at the trough

Jan Allison Date: 9/8/2014 1:02:00 PM Humourous write as ever Maurice - thankfully I didn't have said it was a load of 'Bull' and I couldn't 'Bear' to read it :-) Maybe we can take stock and share the same step on the winners podium. Hugs Jan xx Login to Reply Maurice Yvonne Date: 9/8/2014 8:26:00 PM thanks JAN i am not happy with it. I intend to rewrite or change.

Gary Bateman Date: 9/8/2014 3:49:00 AM Maurice . . . Your Chastushka or Russian Folk Poem style is quite interesting. I need to write some of these too. I noticed that this one is for a contest. I am keeping my fingers crossed for you my friend. You have a gift for the words and for superb poetic expression. Also, Congrats on your number one ranking in the PS e-mail highlighting all of us who are new poets. I want to enter more contests too, of course. Busy with all my other projects and the long epic poem I mentioned. Cheers, Gary Login to Reply Maurice Yvonne Date: 9/8/2014 8:32:00 PM thanks Gary I will pay you a visit soon.
