Premium MemberWhen You Borrow Money

When you borrow money you never stay paid 
Some lenders you seem to owe until you hit the grave
They become that extra bill you didn't want in the place
Trying to pay them back and not to make them chase
In a system that causes us to borrow from one to pay another
Almost makes you want to

Premium MemberBorrow

I went to my neighbors
To ask for a favor
And said may I borrow
Stuff I need tomorrow,
But she stopped me short
With this stunning retort:

“Do you need sugar cane
Drano for a clogged drain
Or perhaps some flour
Or did you lose power.”
I answered, “I just need…”
And she quickly agreed
Saying, “I have some Spam
About twenty-five cans
Cigarettes, mayonnaise
Both purebreds and strays

Magnets,

Life is not a bed roses

As I see a leaf fall apart
I see the love that depart
The roads are paved with stones like needle
I always walk through pain that moodle
Oh God deliver thy happiness 
Give me sorrows 
For that I am from the burrow

Premium MemberBeneath the Lamplights We'D Borrow

In the dusting of the Springtime
when Winter's breath would fall away
the buds of Spring's birthing would climb
memories of yesterday stay
when guitars played along the lane
and filled our hearts with soft romance
as lovers, we enjoyed the rain
and felt warm raindrops with our dance
giving no thought to tomorrow
as we moved in the night of Spring
beneath the lamplights,

Premium MemberCan I Borrow Your Bong

Muggle catching monster with your four eyes strong
To follow you from place to place might be simply wrong
Your fuzzy furry hairy head needs trimmed, it is way too long
Your incisors have the length of a skinny king kong
Some people have said you look like a total ding dong.
I like you forever though; can I borrow

BORROW BORROW

Mebo mebo
Borrow borrow nation of the world
They cant stop
The wont stop

The whole nation is plunged in debt
The nation never stops borrowing
The world keeps lending
The agony is never ending

Billions today
Trillions tomorrow
But we still need more
Pouring money into meaningless pursuits

If a nation plunges her people into debts
One expects developments
But none in sight
Please what animal is accused

To Borrow, Means To Return
Miracle man
6-4-2022

I often lose tools through friends who hijack,
so if you borrow my tools please bring them back.

Missing tools can create a hardship when tasking,
and causes me, the embarrassment of asking.

Some must think age is a synonym for fool,
people I hire,(often innocently) take a tool.

A wrench or ratchet that remained in

Borrow My Heart

Take my heart cause yours are broken
Borrow my smile if you need it
I will give you my life
just to make you alive

Give me one more try
let me love you on my way
cause yours is harder to top
I can't give what you want
or how much you deserve
I can give you my time 
give you my hope

Premium MemberNeither Borrow Nor Lend

Never count money not held in your hand,
and never stand good for the debts of a friend;
For some never learn though they grow old and feeble.
It pays to use caution when dealing with people.

Drinking In Sorrow

The man in the isolated bar
Had come in a dust-engulfed car
From a destination, very far
Like the far-flung star:
Via routes  of  more sand and less tar.
Now, drinking to be calm,
The stuff, a believed balm
His cup plastered to his palm
Not likely to occasion him any harm…
It’d been the poorest harvest in his farm!
A drinking in

Can I Borrow Your Pliers

Can I borrow your pliers?
As I really want to rid myself of  this ring in my nose,
How it got there nobody knows.

I am being led to places I don't want to go,
And my brain is starting to slow,
My immunity is dangerously low.

My computer is no help,
You can hear me yelp,
As I feel it gives

Premium MemberCould I Borrow a Cup of Sugar

At first it was sugar
Could I spare a cup?
Don’t be silly, I replied.
Being new, I did not understand
It was not going to be just a one-time thing.
I sent her home with an unopened ten pound bag.
She would replace it on Tuesday.
That was ten years ago, I never found out which Tuesday.
Last week she came over
