Gopher Digs To China

Gopher decided he would dig to China, and so he did.
He began to charge customers, who wanted to travel far away.
It’s a joke some said, a gimmick, a tease, a kid.
So, they did not get to venture to China that day.

A Million Dollar Bill

Have a million dollar bill in my hot little hands When I present it to cashiers, they poop in their pants A promotional gimmick But ever so realistic When they threaten to call the police, I'm gone in a glance

born a charlatan

born a charlatan
he swindled people
spent his life thieving and stealing
never had a paying job

quackster always had a gimmick
get-rich-quick scheme
took lots of honest guys’ money
we cringed when he came to family reunions

California Saki

California saki with a California roll.
It isn’t really sushi, and the rice wine has no soul.
But Schroeder’s playing chopsticks
Up and down the major scale.
Like Japanese scotch, it’s a marketing ploy,
A gimmick meant to sweeten point of sale.

A Beggar's Work

A beggar must have a gimmick
And one that others can't mimic
To open the purse of a cynic
Yet keep him out of a clinic

A beggar sits there scheming
Though you may think he's dreaming
And that may leave you steaming
But it leaves the rich guys screaming!

Eve of a Celebration

for ever i never knew was I a he or she
my breasts sagging and never to take a pee on a tree
why is a beard growing on my chin
to let you know just a gimmick
as we never needed you but generous we chose to share a world
and a rib surely you understand is a gift

Gimmick

I'm yours
put your truth upon my words
what if the role model
just playing a role
Forgiveness just to impress
always trying to be the greatest me
i have to go
my tears are blinding me
If hope looked like something what
do you think that would be
I'm somewhere between light
and the darkness taking over

Mood Swings

Your mood 
swings from left to right,
jumps up and down
and turns a sexy smile into a frown
each day and each night.
 
Your mood
attracts and rejects my attention
loves and hates to mention
the blame game
you play in Cupid’s name.

My mood
hides in his hammock
and will emerge
with the urge
to mimic
your gimmick

Speeding

Why do they make cars

That go so fast

They smash into innocents

Their lives's don't last

To over take i can understand

Its a selling gimmick,to make a grand.

 

The devastation, these events can cause

Should make the makers, sit up and pause

To go that fast in a motor car

Another life, its gone too far.

Calendars and Cards

Today I bought my calendars
And boxes full of cards
To send next year conveying
My best holiday regards.

For after Christmas, things like these
Are sold at half the price,
A little gimmick stores employ
To clear their merchandise.

It’s become, to me, tradition
For as long as I remember,
I’ve bought calendars and cards
The 26th day of December.

Phil Wizard

Philip Kim, aka Phil Wizard
can breakdance with the fury of a blizzard.
Some say the sport of breaking is just a gimmick,
but with its speed and athleticism, it belongs in the Olympics.

Phil Wizard, all things considered,
gave a great performance that really delivered.
His breaking is of the highest level.
Want proof? He's got an Olympic gold medal!

You Gotta Have a Gimmick

Nick was a mimic; he had no choice,
He was fourteen when he found his voice.
His new voice was fun; it made different sounds,
He could imitate anyone's voice,
And toss it around.
He got a job in a nightclub.
He also performed in halls and a pub.
Nick became famous as an excellent mimic.
All because he was able to use this clever gimmick!
And them's are the rubs.

Fast Food and Fast Feasting

i found a new life to lord over
musket dust filled my void
i looked upon the cliffs of Dover
and hoped Victoria didn't want my head to role

enter,exit,into the outer limit's
you are my corperation
and i am your gimmick
stop eating your fastfood inclination

stop stareing at your  fast fooding
fast forward your greasy word's
food cannot cover over your brooding
your obese nature is too easily shared

Neighbor Is a Pirate

My neighbor is a pirate of fame Who sailed and pillaged from Maine to Spain I once heard his old parrot mimic Phrases common to a pirate’s gimmick. I saw his long broadsword and musket Looking quite time-worn, used and rustic. He has a plumed hat, spy glass, boot scraps, Black eye patch, peg leg and treasure maps. My neighbor cannot shiver me spine, He is way too short and only nine.
