Dont Pass the Buck
Keep passing the buck and you’ll
Soon be broke; life is that way.
A poor beggar has nowhere
To stash what’s given.

Billy Bunter was a lad
Before fast-food became a fad
Ever ready to pass the buck,
Overweight,down on his luck-
Decided to 'borrow' his school mates' tuck....

Pass the Buck
Sometimes
I wish I didn't have a soul
So I could skip the whole
rigamarole
of do this do that;
do that do this,
else taste the bland abyss,
b*tch.
Lotta friends'a mine worried
bout my supernatural
sanctity;
If only they knew how little
I cared.
Last time I checked my
soul cavity,
there wasn't nothin'
there....

Retiring
We earned every wrinkle
Worked every mile
To reach our golden years
The right to slow down
Deserved the privilege
To rest on our laurels
The time to look back
The right to step back
To pass the buck
Let others carry on
Making the most
Of our last lapse
Get more mileage
From whatever energy
We can scrounge

Provision With a Price....
Agrarian....agriculture
wet and dry affecting bolster
basic grain pre-market commodity
dispersal targets rift uncommonly
Feedstock fodder higher priced
milk,egg,cheese will future thrice
upkeep livestock feel the strain
lack of grain...we'll all feel the pain
Corn,wheat,rice and soybean
hot potato money machine
pass the buck absorb the cost
surcharge tacked as all not lost...

Unmired
Don’t count on luck when you are stuck;
It’s fickle and unheeding.
A little pluck may help unmuck
Your journey to succeeding.
Don’t pass the buck or try to duck
When problems have you sinking.
Let others cluck or run amok
While you, instead, start thinking.
You may be struck by train or truck
Before you get unmired,
But brains and pluck, when things just suck,
May get what you’ve desired.
(inspired by the movie “Joy”)...

Limited
Decisions are much easier
When choices that you face
Are limited enough that you
Find one you can embrace.
For when so many options
Are presented, you might find
It all so overwhelming that
You’re really in a bind.
You weigh the pros and cons of each
And then you might get stuck
Or possibly be tempted
(If you can) to pass the buck.
I like when my selections
Narrow down to A or B,
Which makes making a decision
Much less filled with stress for me....
