Don't expect an hors d'ouervre when you're out of work, mate!
Blame that on politics or blame it on your fate.
However much you mutter,
from now on it's bread and butter.
Just pretend you're on a diet.
You'll be happy if you try it.
Don't think you're in a ditch
but take pity on the rich.
To them it doesn't matter
that poor health awaits the fatter.
Dear reader, be a mensch.
Don't criticize my French.

when i say a
six pack i'm
only showing
you the beer
that'll drink
writing this
not my abs
so you can
try to stab
me but it
won't work
but Mack
the knife
will have
to call off
that night
for even
when the
shark bites
he might
but barely
leave a mark then
but remembering
when a mark
was but now
is a euro
and that
hurts

out of work cologne (patent pending)
got a new idea
(patent pending)---
you know
that feeling when you just get out
of a job you hate &
the world feels anew
for a few wondrous hours
(no matter how tired you were beforehand)?
i’m gonna scrape the sweat
gonna squeeze the glands dry
all into a itty bitty bottle
(the smaller the bottle, the more ya need &
the more bucks in the bank pour moi),
and after doing so,
it will promptly be on the shelf
maybe near the energy drinks
(stir your adrenaline, keep you awake & thriving
through the wee hours)
maybe in your perfume/cologne isle
(keep him/her interested & writhing in your arms)
who knows how it will be marketed,
but one thing is for sure,
one will never have lived in such a world
as the one flushed thoroughly
by my
out of work cologne.

I was working to earn my pay,but i'm out of work today.
I hope and pray that, another job comes my way?
I need the routine in my life, to keep the depression
and worry at bay. Please dear God send somemore
employment my way amen.
