Whomever coined the phrase
'A penny for your thoughts'
also phrased a coin
one would think
and what a pretty penny too
as one ought
now a penny saved is a penny earned
so I won't spend it on things you thunk
for my word is my bond
and I don't invest in junk
I have yet to see pennies from heaven
fall from the wild blue sky on high
but hope I do and if I catch a few
with wishful thinking
into the fountain they will well fly
yet should I spend a penny
on this or any other day
it would literally be
a penny pissed away
A woman who’s worldly-wise
In men’s rooms lies belly-wise:
Watching her you choke breath-wise,
A bed six meters length-wise!
You fail to look you’re not wise:
“Please, go and meet the street-wise
To stop being rather unwise
And your eyes permit the price”
A woman for the world wise
Could your dear life make her price,
Try to with it rise and rise,
Now choosing to move clockwise,
All too soon, anticlockwise…
Member of club For True Lies,
Her needs she gets from false cries:
She’s never the penny-wise,
Not when she’s Solomon-wise
Left the bar at a sprint
Where city of the raccoon fell
Paused in mist
of silenced hill
as siren screamed
Halloweened in Haddonfield
Ran the razor shadowed gauntlet
of elm street
Scanned the errs
My cabin in the woods
Bruce with loose hand in hand
left for dead in the morning
Sat for hours on the screens
but i wasn't there during the day
Saw a man amputate himself
Stared through anothers eye holes
While Jeepers creepers stung the air
Turned away from Samara
as she pulled from static screen
It made the penny wise
Out last the last of us if Ellie had her way
Slipping sun draped dunes
of San Andreas
as Trevor rants away
"Chapter of my Heart"
"I got wounds in my heart "×2
It's a long road , ooh it is but I will get there, perseverance...don't deteriorate, keep it moving man!
Investing in love is more wealthy than investing in any silver or gold. I dream lucid my life in lyrics , the writing disease got me writing , feeling and teaching.
This right here , is the true tales of my journey no l ain't sipping Henny , do you remember Jenny? Penny wise , watch yourself this is happening once.
You get one chance to fly so let's go to the beautiful blue skies, where birds sing nothing but touching lullabies it's the heart that speaks truth, l wear it with pride on my sleeve l know my story , l got cocky , it was bumpy there is always a second chance! Dust your coat keep walking child.
Habits have a habit,
If they’re early-on ingrained,
Of becoming who you are, a bit
Of childhood you’ve retained.
You brush your teeth a certain way;
You’re neat or you’re a slob.
Attempts to change will seem to be
Like shirking on the job.
You spend your money all at once
Or penny-wise, keep track.
You finish things before they’re due
Or let the time go slack.
You wake up late and lie in bed
Or leap before it’s light.
You like a quiet evening home
Or party every night.
Of course, a habit can be changed
But likely, once it’s stuck,
If someone tries to mend your ways,
He’ll find he’s out of luck!
A clown so cute
Can’t be a brute.
Ten foot tall in size
He called him Penny Wise.
Children abducted and killed
Parents hearts with pain filled.
IT was not a clown at all
But a spider hundred feet tall.
Don’t go near it might rip your throat
In the sewer you’ll definitely float.
The adventure of wheels
Rolled out the business beyond bounds,
Taking people a ride
Men go busy as businessmen
To realize bundles of dreams true
Choice stands on the way of dreams
Sizing the dreams into affordable portions
The business earnings turning the dreams to come true
It's the corrot like a gem in the crown
Earnings cushion the comfortness of it's masters,
If time a tree, it stands on three roots-
Family circle,Job desk and sleeping bed
Breaking a day into three equals is intelligence
Where no schools to teach,how?
Dusk to dawn, runing,beating the mass Sun in race,
At the desk,
Awakening,making days long,
Shortening the size of circle,
Up rooting the tree down,
Commiting injustice tracing fortunes,
Penny wise souls of pound foolish
Like selling gold to buy copper
Sudden turning back at the road long traveled,
Shock to look-
Failings exceeding the success
Loosings against gains-
The worrying outcomes
The higher the earnings to spend in hands
The lower the time spent at homes,
A little oil burned in short nights
Behind the screen of fat money,injustice sits!
“A penny for your thoughts,” he said.
I took his petty penny.
Without a thought within my head,
I did not give him any.
I took his pretty penny
And added it to mine.
I did not give him any,
On candy I could dine.
I added it to mine,
Laughed at him when he cried.
On candy I could dine.
I wasn’t sorry I had lied.
Laughed at him when he cried
Without a thought within my head,
I wasn’t sorry I had lied.
“A penny for your thoughts,” he said.
