Love me Once, and Twice again,
Summer Months, from Mice to Men!
Summer Boar, on Figs they Dine,
Now they Soar, from Pigs to Swine!
Women don't get
enough credit
for all the
contributions they make
and have made
to societies
and civilizations
They are the
backbone of everything,
produce life and
procreate with abundance
Nurture and care
for all others.
Are unselfish, forgiving,
understanding and
beacons of light
They are educated
and highly enlightened
A pleasure to be around.
God Bless Them!
if you're going to
ride on someone's coattails
go big or go home

Lay of lending credit, not make my money mate!
Anyway it’s a service I’m providing that the banks won’t to this date.
Heavy pay back terms but who’s at risk if they can’t pay?
Sob stories from the weak but they signed on the line to take.
Get them to play fair? Not a cat in hells chance you got mate.
Inequality is built into the system and it works for the rich boys every single day.
Lay off lending credit? I agree it’s a cruel, cruel, cruel living mate!
Lay off lending credit? Then who’s gonna lend them money - who’s gonna put food on their kiddies plates?
Credit Card
Put it on the credit card but pay it off quick
nothing hurts more than high interest that sticks
If you don't need it but buy it anyway
remember to enjoy it cause brother you will pay.
Morning Pepsi
Drinking a Pepsi to start off the day
make it diet and caffeine free feels okay
That white label Pepsi taste pretty good
drink another just because you could.
Gold Coca Cola
Caffeine and sugar free yes it is diet
taste is indeed golden love to buy it
Drink em guilt free without a buzz
sometimes you want mellow suds.
Old Ford Flex
She got an old Ford Flex it is really big
has up to three rows of seats for all her kids
Long and boxy car reminisce of an old wagon
with road respect for its' size like driving a dragon.
Hope is not
centered on
unforgiveness
unforgiveness not
forgiven
is useless
for I'm in tune to be
on tune to the one
who gave me life

We don't give ourselves enough credit - causing our downward spiral to failure
What we own ... or what we owe,
Is more than numbers on a balance sheet.
Yet we're often reduced to a figure,
That claims existence before we meet.
So we hustle to settle the score,
Throughout a lifelong FICO maze.
As if we're a rodent chasing cheese,
Inside a laboratory for untold days.
Within the palace walls of high-finance,
Sit bespectacled guru's towards our fate.
Crunching numbers next to our dreams,
While reaching limits, forever late.
This reality forms an economic backbone,
Allowing for judgement and eternal debt.
While we struggle & reach for something better,
A gratuitous path might extend some extra credit.
It’s amazing what can be accomplished if you don’t care who takes the credit. What kind of amazing things do you think could get done if Congress and our President decided that it did not make a difference which party got the credit. Perhaps if they can’t figure it out on their own, they should just post a survey on Facebook. After all, we were pretty good at choosing if we wanted Team Edward or Team Jacob. But then again, past elections tell a different story.
I want it my way
but you must have it your way
why not flip a coin
Anxiety increases as Christmas draws near
Kids may not get what they asked for, they fear,
It’s presents holding them rapt, not good cheer
Santa shows disinterest, he has another beer
‘Tis Mrs. Claus stretching the budget this year.

I am so grateful that you read me and opine
On unique thoughts and ideas I claim mine
But I must be honest and humbly confess
I often lift your ideas to concoct this mess.

GIVE GOD THE CREDIT
Give God the credit for all things good,
Give God the credit, you know you should.
Even though you may create a poem
Or plant a garden or make a home,
It's God who gave the skill to you
In every single thing you do.
You may play a harp with flare,
Or plant and mold with special care.
Perhaps your hands have nursing skills
Or your repair a need fulfills.
No matter what God gives you to do,
Give all the praise to Him--not you.
So, if you want to thank your friends,
Remind them of the love God sends.
Encourage to give thanks to Him,
For He has given skill to them.
God gave us brains, He gave us brawn,
Let's praise His name and not our own.

Kim’s decorations for fall are always straight out of a magazine
The rest of us visit her house and exclaim over her decisions.
Her parents are decorators, and I believe they help her with this.
She claims it is all her own idea, but no one buys it.
Because she is not a put together woman in any other area of life.
Her clothes do not match, her hair is a mess, and she looks dowdy.
Her house is impeccable; perfecto, and it happens while she is at work.
Two cars with Michigan plates are parked at her house for a week.
Her parents lug in bolts of materials, and bags of autumn goodies.
Kim takes full credit, and we let her because we adore her.
But we all know better.
She was born from the inside of a high heel shoe
With styles and patterns and colors of every hue
We marveled at her beginnings, she was always true
Giving credit to her creator for designing this gorgeous shoe
don’t judge others by your own standards ~ only end up hating yourself
be like me take others as you find them ~ and then become mad jealous
