Put it on ice,
It’s overpriced....

What can a cockamamy squirrel
                                       ~ do with an overpriced pearl?...

The half cost of silence
is still overpriced
Each question unspoken
a chasm for vice

When blind to the moment
all vision exhausts
Each voice that is muted 
— its own holocaust

Designer shoe ads
Magazine ridiculous
Overpriced items
Movie stars can afford them
Regular people cannot

Exorbitant price
Two thousand dollar blouses
Dresses? Do not ask
Money I will never have
Magazine ridiculous...

The ending of a year

New Year Eve 
Never fail to 
Make me depressed
Tonight I will go  
To a restaurant 
Eat overpriced food 
And keep up pretence
At midnight 
Clink of glasses
And bleating as 
The dumb sheep we are
We have survived 
This year too
In a crazy world heading 
Towards war...

Valentine, shmalentine
Chocolate adds to her behind
Sugar doesn't make her sweeter
It costs a fortune tryin' to feed 'er

Jewelry, shmewelry 
Better think twice
It's mass produced
And overpriced

Cupid, shmupid
You know that's fake
Angels don't shoot arrows
Give me a break!

Black diamond, fools gold,
overpriced and undersold.

Falling vices, rising prices,
and all the things that we are told.

Percussive concussion, concussive percussion,
endless discussion.
 
A round of applause for revealing your flaws,
your sin serves to feed them their spin.
If you had our fears, if we gave you our hopes,
we'd devour ourselves from within....

You are a thousand miles of sheer delight,
When I turn the key our passions ignite,
Firing off a strong robust heart that's yours,
My knees weaken waxing your sleek contours,
O' my splendiferous, overpriced Genie,
My bright yellow, dream Matchbox* Lamborghini

My brother Fred thinks outside the box
  Wears red and green polka dot socks
He still collects overpriced pet rocks
   Eats bagel holes, no cream cheese or lox

Sister Sue sleeps with the horse in the barn
   Her iridescent make-up sets off alarms
She's got a pair of tatooed arms
   Among her other diverse charms

Me, I'm the white sheep of the bunch
   When I eat, I snap, crackle, crunch
'Course it depends on what I have for lunch
   On curried cockroach krispies, I like to munch...
