Premium Member Penny For Your Thoughts

Penny was lost in the city
A passing young lad thought her pretty
He gave her a whistle
This made Penny bristle
She scowled at the lad, what a pity

I'd love to share them all with you
but first... my formula.

Caught between two stools

Every cloud has a silver lining so
Free your mind from worries..

Premium Member Roses and Wine

A penny for your thoughts
  with inflation it’s a nickel
The longer you go on
  the more I find you fickle

You looked sincere, so genuine
  I’d have bought you roses and wine
But now you’ve opened your mouth so wide
  On fresh shoe leather I’ll let you dine

A penny for your thoughts
    a nickel for ideas
  A dime for a discovery
    two bits a panacea

  Inventions of the mind are mostly fraught
    as like as not to go for naught
  Plunge them into real-life action ~
    Don't spend your gold 'til they gain traction

Premium Member Got Change

Got Change? By: Tom Wright 6/3/2006 Ernestine once said to me, “a penny for your thoughts” So in a flash I relayed ideas foremost on my mind. I didn’t mind that she was broken up with laughter But I thought her asking for change was most unkind

Penny For Your Thoughts

Spare a thought for tiny penny,
how sad those folks that haven't any.

It's the smallest coin of the realm
and made of copper, like a charm.

Those who don't even have a stitch
they could become immensely rich

if only others to them brought
a shiny penny for each thought.

Premium Member Colors Dance

beneath the rainbow 
pretty penny for your thoughts
whispers in the wind

sunshine starts at noon
after such deluge delay
skies smile upside down

god's voice of thunder
commands all nature to dance
vivid climbing blooms

psychedelic song 
from green background of our lives 
lovely prancing birds

Make a wish upon a ?? star
And follow your heart.
Dreams nd wishes are put out there in the universe to be heard.
Give it time and have faith and all will be fine

I think you are star struck.
For the heavens will provide your wish just give it time.

Penny 4 the Guy

Riding on a rocket
Towards the stars
One is the brightest of them all
Let's call it the sparkler
The masterchief of the partyhosts
The crackerjack banging the wall
It's making the catherine wheel turning
Through the fage clouds and their smoke
I gave you a penny for your thoughts
And sold it to the guy and hot chestnuts

Rain

When you stand in the rain
And everything comes crushing down
Give a penny for your thought
Leave a space for your heart

And everything comes crushing down
Insanity, sorrow, agony, pain
Leave a space in your heart
Save a place for peace and clarity

Insanity, sorrow, agony, pain
Give a penny for your thoughts
Save a place for peace and clarity
When you stand in the rain

Mind Scam

I think
Therefore I am
What a joke
Its really toast with no jam.
Save it for a rainy day
Do you know how many ive had
I dont want to come out and play
A penny for your thoughts
Yup, you nailed it
But thats all i bought
Give me liberty or give me death
Hmmm a coin toss
I wont hold my breath
No man is an island
Really?
Is it all inclusive man
A bird in hand is worth
Nah, im not even gonna go there

A Penny For Your Thoughts

Stepping stones
& Ginger Ale
Barbie dolls 
with eyes to stare.
Lightning dances,
to different strokes.
More to Love
Much too close.
Speak your mind
& mind your manners.
Do what your told,
find the right answer.
Put it away for now,
just rest your crown.
Another high-hope,
is another let-down.
Money well spent is on
what was never bought
& i believe its called,
a penny for your thoughts.

Premium Member A Penny For Your Thoughts

May I kiss you in the dark?
May I fondle your lovely heart
If your mind would kiss my soul
If you cared, I would hold you so

I am discarded, this I see
I am yesterdays shattered debris
You smile and tossed me away like a penny
I hoped inside, I could purchase your thoughts

In the dark, I kiss my dreams
My pockets bear, of material grief
For I have nothing, nothing at all to offer
If in my heart, I don’t have you

A Grave Loss

The sins that summon the grave beneath
A sorrow that stares right at the wreath
Blossoming hope within our heart
To one day find a whole new start
The sky so blue yet full of you
The words once spoken also so true
A stirring boil down to loss
The price we pay is what we cost

Penny for your thoughts is what they cry
The response that all of us will one day die
With tears that drown the grave beneath
The understanding that we bequeath

A Penny For Your Thoughts

A penny..
for your thoughts..
is all I have..
to give in return..

For..
my thoughts..
have crashed
and burned..
full of holes..
with ashes 
unturned..

I yearn only
to absorb..
to stand 
on the shoulders
of others..
to be invited
into their labyrinth
of secrets..
passages..
to uncover..

A penny..
for your thoughts..

For..
my thoughts
have crashed
and burned..
full of holes..
with ashes 
unturned..

Jealous

You’re jealous, and you have no right to be.
As faithful as I am, infidelity is all you see.
Penny for your thoughts?
Forget it; I already know.
In your mind I’m out with a bunch of hotshots,
Thinking I don’t think of you as I stare out the window.
What have I done to make you doubt?
To be honest I’m getting quite worn-out.
You say you simply can’t.
You say sorry, that you tried.
Your trust you cannot grant,
So in your suspicion I cannot abide.

Premium Member Penny Wise

“A penny for your thoughts,” he said.
I took his petty penny.
Without a thought within my head,
I did not give him any.

I took his pretty penny
And added it to mine.
I did not give him any,
On candy I could dine.

I added it to mine,
Laughed at him when he cried.
On candy I could dine.
I wasn’t sorry I had lied.

Laughed at him when he cried
Without a thought within my head,
I wasn’t sorry I had lied.
“A penny for your thoughts,” he said.

Passed Down With Interest

A precious penny for your thoughts,
for five a good cigar.
Prevailing wisdom up in smoke
to regale the nearest star.

Keep abreast of Smith and friends,
but true friends we disdain.
As eager birds beat frantic wings
in sunrise search for gain.

A moron's gold soon disappears,
no noontime meal is free
Roll every penny and they're yours,
on that we all agree.

Shopworn phrases from the past
still speak to here and now.
It's amazing still how money talks-
that final, sacred cow.
