Premium Member I Can't Afford To Lose You Now
No, I can’t afford to lose you
In this craziness called life
Though the madness presses in
And I cannot still the strife

I can’t afford to lose you now

No, I can’t afford to lose you
Though I’m catatonic now
In the nothingness of thought
The need to reconnect somehow

I can’t afford...

Premium Member A Ford You Could Afford
Henry Ford satisfied the masses, we may all agree,

   By concocting the venerable Ford Model "T".

      He said, "You can choose any color as long as it's black!"

         And he...

Premium Member The 'Must Have' Product You Simply Cannot Afford To Live Without
“Ladies and gentlemen, gather round
Squeeze in madam, come a little closer”

You fortunate folk are at the launch of this must have commodity

My company has traveled around the globe,
we’ve invested millions in research in search of the purest product;
which was eventually found in the atmosphere of...

Premium Member If I Could Afford a Dream
I’ll go to some faraway place,
On a lovely, isolated beach, at sunset,
And watch the fiery solar ball
Disappear over the limitless horizon.
Look, the waves are rhythmically opalescent, 
The azure billows changing to carmine red
And then to misty white as the foam 
Dissolve upon the fine citron...

Premium Member A Ford You Could Afford
Henry Ford mass-produced the Model 'T' Ford,

A contraption the unwashed masses could afford!

'Twas the latest and greatest to include a crank and jack,

And he offered a choice of colors as long as it was black!...

The Things I Could Not Afford
I'm sorry I could not afford
To buy myself a garden gourd
And had to settle for instead
A gourd which was bitter

Nor could I afford a red and blue parrot
Now all I have is a carrot
That's only colors are 
a mean orange and green

And what about the...

Love She Now Can Ill Afford
Love she now can ill afford 
And strength, her pride won't borrow, 
She finds no crime in letting go, 
Of dreams knit with her sorrow.

Her fire is but a ghostly glow, 
Void of the will to try, 
It calls out from her breaking heart, 
As...

Can You Afford My Love
It can be a distraction,
That engulfs you with raging insanity..
A chaos,
That causes upheaval in your life..
A kaleidoscope of emotions,
Its made of blissfulness and battles..

Thats how my Love is!
Its where chaos and beauty co-exist!

What would you offer for a Love like Mine??...

A World That Cant Afford Me
hider in the attic is a frailty
for an antitrust of when the world ends
a new name for genocide
born to fall out of love
beautiful mind says people like to sing and dance
and play house on mad tv
blackmailed by the death threat to yourselves from me
train the...

Each One Can Afford
What was best thousandth poem you have wrote?
To answer this question much time did devote
Found that fewer than forty accomplished this task
Who now are sitting in sun and always like to bask.

So to encourage you, what should be done and I do
Making you full of...

Am Able To Afford
Am Able To Afford

What I will like best about My Lord; 
Is always there and am able to afford; 
Meant to be, 
For you and me; 
Anyone can be a member of His horde.

Premium Member You Cann'T Afford To Be Careless
Nowadays we're not free to do what we like
Omicron is the FBI
Unseen and axists anywhere
It's a spy globally
We do distancing ,wearing masks,washing hands
To disguise and to avoid it
We cann't afford to be careless
Because we're blind in the mind and the senses
Whenever facing them
Maybe only the...

How Can You Afford
Nothing is cheap
Nothing is expensive
Either you can afford it
Or you can't afford it.

Such a simple part of life
Situational from time to time
To take the hard decision
To sort this meager question.

Rather than to try
Do something to cry
To possess the thing
Than to start the bothering

How can you...

I Could Not Afford Oceanfront
i could not afford oceanfront
a reassuring kiss from you is priceless
i wish that you were here
however your eyes are more important than a trip
i pray that both of your eyes heal from the cataract surgeries
if it were up to be, then i would go back...

Premium Member Homeless Now Car-Less Soon
Just because I had a job
Doesn't mean I was gainfully employed
Or could afford my college degrees
Or even to eat, to sleep
So working low wage jobs 2nd shift
Was one way to look as if
I was head above water till I got too sick
I too was homeless
But...
