He wants to look hot and "spicey"
But hair "rugs" are much too pricey
So he's getting some plugs today
Cuz he just doesn't want toupee'...

Out for a meal they ordered a grouper.
As for the taste it really was super,
     but after that meal
     receiving the bill
the price did shock them into a stupor....

A smartly dressed fellow from Austin
Met a sweet little tart in Boston
She rode in his car
But not very far
He realized what it would cost ‘im.

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...

That sassy young lassie from Savannah
She wound up in Cuba's old Havana
Playing fine flamenco guitars
Rolling pricey high-class cigars
And shacking with men in her cabana.

Edmund Clerihew Bentley,

practiced his craft so intently.

This clever creation still echoes in halls,

outlasting his pricey education at St. Paul’s.



When I read the WIKI'd the 411 on Bentley, I as enthralled. His "HEW" on Sir James Dewar is a classic....

Global warming--an idea that stinks
Sea water that's not in the sinks
you have permission
for carbon emission
But what if it's your land that shrinks?

Global warming--an idea that floats
Coast houses soon will be house boats
That pricey abode
Became a commode
Just inland roads transform to moats...

I go to work to make more money,
to buy more stuff to make home homey,
the only problem now I find,
is theres no room to plant my behind,

So I went out and bought a bigger home,
so all my stuff could have their own zone,
whereas now I work a lot more and am rarely home,
to pay for all my stuff and the pricey mortgage loan.

Santa was a fat cat
Who gave all his wealth away,
Taking toys to boys and girls
With his reindeer and red sleigh.
The pricey gifts for which kids asked
Put Santa in the hole.
He had to get himself a job
To stay off of the dole. 
So now you find him hawking wares
Before Thanksgiving Day,
He knows he has to hustle
If he hopes to fill that sleigh.

A worthy pursuit, though not a commute. That it's even achievable, some would dispute; but those who do, deserve a salute. Calm and solace; peace and poise; even silence is involved; and if obtained, it will last, not spoil, and will not be dissolved. Sadness will always be a bit pricey, but happiness is still affordable.

Am a troubled SOUL,trapped in a PIANO, by an HARPSICHORD
I STRING literal NOTES,my Te amo,
she left me dis-HARMONY,
My heart co-nun-DRUM
Its agony,TRAMPOLINES and Brass-Caps
She was my CYMBAL of hope,
the BEAT to the tints of my Night-caps...
She was my ELVIS GUITAR, tho Pricey',
She was Treasured,and Honoured,,
My MELODY,tuned to perfection,
ACOUSTIC sexually,pure SONIC and DRAMA...
My Prima Donna...

Celtic courtship ended
nineteen eighty-two.
Marriage nuptials blended
"us" from me and you.

Seaside lovers heading 
to the Irish Sea
showcase Christmas wedding, 
silver jubilee.  

Touring without hassle -
Isle of Man’s ferry,
Dublin, Blarney Castle,
Cobh Cork, and Kerry.

Guinness, china, mincemeat
pricey souvenirs;
homespun sweaters compete
lamb’s wool profiteers.

Three crosses braved a forlorn hill,
Focused in vision, I liken to the one.
Though ages pass, I review it still,
It bore a thief, not God's only son.

While one evil doer paid Jesus scant heed,
From one cross, amnesty was sought.
Jesus forthwith pardoned his past deed,
In brevity of a wink paradise was bought.

Once seeing myself and this thief the same,
I discerned the centers communique to me.
That hope was abrogated, lest from here it came,
And albeit, salvation was pricey, twas also free....

THE PAIN
The pain I encountered,
Makes my kernel slaughtered,
With jinx of blood filtered,
In wedlock, I'm bastard.

This pinky pricey pain is painful,
Like a python kingdom, is harmful,
Turning my life stressful,
But alligator drove me careful.

The fire in me is love,
Quenching the relation of dove,
Strategizing me in dove,
I'm now trying to shove.

Love pain is blight,
In a pool of sorrow, I turned kite,
Chasing my soul so bright,
Soon depart from plight.
