They like their bargains.
But at the end of the day

Sober time
A time of pain
Regret and remorse

But I love you and you love me
We’re still together

Watch Your Step

Meet  me by the fountains brink
bring your quill and maybe ink
for you are all ones that blink
20, 40 count them all
but watch your step 
as you may fall.

That accidentally encountered a skunk
He sneezed 40 times
Til he rang his own chimes
Then cried cause he knew how he stunk

And found his ass in the next county

There was a rich lawyer of McNaught
Who overcharged his clients a lot.
His bank account soared
As their welfare he ignored.
Now he’s gone to hell in a 40-foot yacht.
