One cent, two cents,
	Nickel and dime
Two bits, four bits,
	A dollar this time.

Ship me a grasshopper
	Do me a crime
Fly like a whippoorwill 
	O'er Anaheim....

Splitting In Half
Today I spent face down 
in a pillow
for it smelled like you 
Yesterday I spent heart torn 
in a chair
Facing the backyard 
where I found out the truth

I’ve saved my money 
nickel and dime
I’ve saved my heart 
time after time 
for you 

Rainy Days and winter nights
I listen to Nick Drake 
Lamenting over his inner voice
and asking about mine 
All I can do is answer back
by throwing a plate 
just to see it crack...

Nickel and Dime
we try to make a dollar stretch
but never wonder why
when all the credit cards and checks
createdanother pie
but if you try to get a piece
they say that you're in debt
but how is that when you take lease
plus you created it
i see this system has its flaws
thru which abusers slip
but keep us clamped inside these jaws
with never ending grip
i simply see it all the time
how many of us play
continue to nickel and dime
when you could quit today...

Muted Messengers
Tumultuous tale told and taught throughout time
Chiding cheers and chants and church bells chime
Parishioners of pastors who've past their prime
Claims of cunning conquers and cryptic crime
Daunt deeds to deviants dying for a nickel and dime
Grieve for the gains gone-by who grovel in grime
Sent forth by a sovereign who sought sublime
Messengers now muted no more than mime
Rue the revered who suit to rewrite the rhyme 
Cast off couriers contrary to who create the crime...

Premium Member Nickel and Dime - Nursery Rhyme
A nickel and dime 
Had lost their shine 
When they slipped into the old couch in the parlor 

Their paths have been crossed 
When they both had got lost 
When they were exchanged from change of a dollar 

The dime and the nickel 
Still both in a pickle 
But they know they'll be found in due time

But until they do 
They'll stick together like glue 
Until they get found and cleaned from their grime
