They Never Buy

the bannisters were cold, house dark and dreary, I was alone
no surprise because I have been in solitude since my death
ninety-six years of stark, staid, stillness, hearing no voices
I am tired of ghosting this mansion; it is not interesting

When I was alive I had friends, they were witty and charming
We used to laugh about our

I buy Vegetables

I buy vegetables
lettuce, celery, parsley, radishes,
planning to eat them, to get healthier
so that my colon will smile

I plan to drink twelve glasses of water a day
in actuality, I do not drink more than one third of a cup of H20

I reach for chocolate milk, caramel latte, peanut butter cookies
Frisky frosted brownies will not eat themselves.
There

Buy One, Get One Free

So overfed, the nice salesman said, 

"You clipped my wings, oh how they bleed, Ed."

Low overhead, so we spent our bread,

On many things, we never needed!

What Time Can't Buy

Hallowed
are the dreamers
that sit
along the rails
To watch the trains
go rolling by
for places
left unveiled

Hallowed
the anointed
unpunched
their tickets clean
To see through eyes
that time can’t buy
true islands
— in the stream

Money Can Buy Happiness

They say money can't buy happiness
but it sure can patch that hole in the roof or rowboat.
It can buy you a fat neck ring or your dream dress
it can buy you a tanker of gas -a new set of whitewalls
get you to a vision that you've never been to.
Tell me the truth, are you happy

everything I buy

Everything I buy is delivered in enormous trucks
not milk, cheese, meat and bread, right? asks a naysayer.
No. They are delivered in a car by my butler, Bucks.
Because I do not like to go into stores, said the mayor.

Root Of All Evil

Isn't it funny how people see money
pieces of metal so very small
there's not a lot you can do
with a penny or two
money itself has really no uses at all
it used to be beads and once it was shells
at least you could wear them and buy or sell
how many have a dim view of money
pieces of

Why we Buy on Amazon

box store drills were eighty dollars and up
we stopped and priced them on our way to sup
Guess I will order one on Amazon, husband finally said
We got one for fifty, and she is pretty – pink and red.

Why Would Anyone Buy A Tesla And A MAGA Hat

Why Would Anyone Buy A Tesla And A MAGA Hat

Why would anyone patronize Elon Muck?
Muck rode the coattails of his friend Donald Duck
Muck and Duck went up the hill
To serve us a bitter pill
Their fascism has left the country horror-struck

Muck's shaking of the tree, and kills the forest
His cleaning of the house affects the poorest
He's

Can I Buy An Extra Word Or Two

My brain is on holiday
Sure wish it would alert me
I'm cruising along having a ball
Then WHAM!!!
“Sorry, I'm on holiday”
Doesn't happen often to me
But when it does, I freak out
What if in my remaining years
I never write another poem
Yikes! What a calamity that would be
Still got lots to write about
I think I have... I know I

Broke it, You Buy it a Song

[verse]
Didn't you hear?

If you broke it you buy it

That is also true of your hearts desires

We all start fresh in life with no wrinkles
Life provides all the kinks and the turns
and before you know

Buy a Donkey 
The Sunday papers had nothing to tell 
except for the usual trivia  and endless 
wars somewhere on the planet
As I get older and older, nothing much 
is of importance, novels are good only 
for taking our mind off the ennui 
I used to write poetry and hoped to
publish until I realized it was of no 
importance for anyone
