Sell and Buy

11/24/15


Another object fell from the sky
While a pack of elk ran by

The risk from the current hand being dealt was high

Be smart about what you sell and buy
Don't you ever tell a lie
When it comes to most jobs, having the skills to read and spell applies


I'll tell you why
It needs to be done by yourself not I

Regardless of how much you'd like to yell and cry
Because there wasn't any help to find

As of now the well is dry
Impurities and bacteria not worth the risk of your health anytime

The wax started to melt then dried
Putting all wealth aside

With stealth I climbed
Even moreso when I felt behind
The rest of mankind

Anyone else could try
If they felt that sly

Inside the belly of a lion there was the remains of a gazelle inside
Near where some dwell and reside
