Eons worth of work 
with everlasting paychecks 
then joy in the Sun...

Birthdays, like paychecks,
Always on time, spent quickly,
And soon forgotten

Vlad Putin is counting the dead
As if they were soldiers of lead
No need to dwell on
As now they are gone
Vlad can cash their paychecks instead!...

Forget about mortgage or rent.
These days with our paychecks fast spent,
In the future I see 
The hot question will be. . . 
How much for one BIG sturdy tent?

    Disgruntled troops fall in line
      when the head honcho appears
    Long-time rebels go soft in the mouth

    Seems they now value their paychecks
      as they retreat to the womb
    of a company experiencing a boom

O, father, tall as an emerald mountain,
Caring for the family, loving each one.
Scintilate like a star, you light up my world.
Sacrifying your nights and working hard on days,
You pile up heaps of paychecks for us live on.
O father, now, I have my gift for you...
My tears, streams winding their only way to your soul.


to my dad on FATHER DAY...

These days it's tough being alive
Each day trying to survive
High prices are everywhere
Everyone living in fear
Paychecks not lasting for long
As your trying to be strong
Doing what's right to get by
To support family you try
To stretch out every dollar
But inside you scream and holler
Hoping costs go down again
Like they were way back when
No one had to choose between
Paying rent or food to eat...

Expenses keep my
pockets slim.
No green paper trace,
broke,
I reach in and grab
lint.
My wallet suffers 
from Bullemia.
Skinny, diseased,
plagued to suffer.
When is enough,
enough.
I work hard
but my paychecks only
go so far.
Lately,
my life has been
rough.
Too many bills,
piled high.. 
Mountainous, the paper trail
stacked high into the sky.
Oh my!!!!
