I would only need a little to start
I’ll trade my dumb
If you need some
Lord knows I have more than plenty to part!



For Dumb and Dumber contest
I'll barter for smart with some of my dumb (my own quote)...

Come and live in Barter Town...
there's nothing like it I have found.
Trade is how you buy stuff here.
You can even buy yourself a beer.
Suppose you need to fix your car...
you need not travel very far.
Joe the mechanic will help you out...
if you can help on...

Flora’s Barter

Behold the girl
Reciting in the gardens
Emily Grace
Poetic voice to sharpen
Enhaling scents
From flowers freely lent
Lyrical verses
Flora’s barter well spent 

Behold the rose
Growing on the arbor posed
Enriched by the words
Read from books composed
Rising higher still
Glancing over shoulder bold
Pink as sunkissed cheeks
Reading poems spun of gold

Behold the...

Do you wish to take a Sabbath
From this world of anguish and lie?
Go visit the cemetery
You will surely find one nearby.

There you can barter your traumas
For compassion and peace instead,

It’s fine art harnessed by those dead.

Great and mighty Lord of the universe I am just your slave to wish

Barter trade, just exchange goods

Everyone’s life is tragic,
but who calls out the score

The Jester or the Hangman,
the Undertaker sure

Everyone’s nights are haunted,
when sleeping with the Muse

Each dream a wanton barter
—your memories to lose

Barter of goods was before gold or paper before electronic
Transfers of the digit inflaters..How are dots and numbers
Balanced and checked? How many hyphens will i need for
A floor? How many dots to create a strong door? or a ship
Or a boat? Could i have one...

Many of us are confused as to value, the convenience of money
O not long ago, GOLD was the real money, today "feelings" hold sway
No paper is wealth, except if it allows for BARTER (Covid-19 has a say!)
Every freshman ought to know: money are notes (promissory)

The rains have come on another Fall wind.,
nostalgia, once gone, now creeps back in.

My cornucopia overflows with things Man cannot barter or buy. 
A hand to her hand, lover's sigh to wooed sigh.
