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...

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
