Old Barnacle Bob just bought a boat
The barnacled boat just didn't float
His wife preferred he bought her a coat
I'm leaving you Bob was all she wrote

Sister Lucille bought a dirt bike next
Leaving her family somewhat vexed
Her aim is speed,
She doesn’t need
Which leaves us incredibly perplexed.

Global warming is causing climate change:
while ice sheets at the poles are melting fast;
as oceans and deserts increase their range.
Whales and porpoises are beaching, so strange,
nearing extinction, they're among the last:
global warming is causing climate change.
Folks are acting like a dog with the mange,
scratching out a living, lost to the past;
as oceans and deserts increase their range.
Tomorrow buys today; that's the exchange:
greed pushes progress, with few questions asked:
global warming is causing climate change.
Though over time, theories interchange:
the amount of damage is far too vast:
as oceans and deserts increase their range.
We've lost all hope that time will rearrange
these unscheduled changes: the die's been cast.
Global warming is causing climate change
as oceans and deserts increase their range.

Fritz had always dreamed of owning some land
After the army, he'd buy some, as planned
But Fritz served near Iran
And green grass there was banned
Fool bought a golf course ~ but only the sand

My husband makes car deals
He has bought thirty-eight cars for us and others
He loves the bantering of prices
Something I despise
I am used to walking
We get so close, but they will not come down
To the price he wants
Insists on
So we walk.
We have walked away from more deals than we have closed
We walked away from eleven car deals in a row once
At ten different dealers
They always think we love the car too much to walk.
There is always another car; we know that.
At one point he turned to ask me if we had a check.
I almost fell off the chair.
We were buying one!
I had become so used to walking
I had not thought to bring one
And neither had he.

Who Buys,Who Sells
Heck they move,the busy market murmured
Down they went to the Pub sell,
In with spontaneous drive look they;
Who buy,who sell the the market Cries,
For with no hook it quit like of hermit-crab,
At noon it is seen crying,in ecstasy did yell
Like of SHAWORO(A Yoruba:name for noise making chain)
And alligator pepper.
Yelling here and there,with no time come calm,
the sky turns dark,
Days goes by and by,yelling by and by when
Noon comes,
With no discrepancy,who buys,who sells it cries,
Moving by the railway,seat some in a hut
Watching who may obtain.
Merchandise is your concern,
Murmuring all day:with no sense to shadow the
Moon,
The moon that glitters,day after day
Shine moon,shine!!and shine;
For the market is quiet as ever.

You are correct, it's true, fish no longer have fingers...between Mrs Paul's, and
me eatting them all up...now fish need artificial limbs...

Does everything we buy, everything we have, what we pay for, Is that ever really
valued?
A person can buy a house, a car
a suit or two.
But can a person buy, pay for
class?
Can a person buy security?
Physical yes, but Mental and Emotional ?
No, I don't think so.
Looking at our reflection in the mirror
What can you get with a penny?
What does any amount of money ever really purchase?

So many men won't do it.
They have to hide their head.
If they must go...please let God know
he'd like to be struck dead.
Of course the store is crowded
It has to be that way...
How could this trip get any worse?
'Hey there! ' The neighbors say.
But if you only saw yourself
through other women's eyes,
you'd see a thoughtful, caring man
that fills their heart with sighs.
When a man can go buy tampons
and not care if he's seen,
he must be a true sweetheart....
or else SHE' S REALLY MEAN!
