There once was a guy named pete
Who find out there was nothing to eat
So he went to the shop
Bought a dozen mops
But then he forgot the receipt!...

Blue ink on the back of a receipt,
Stopped for a certain ice cream treat,
Didn't have it; still got something to eat
I'll be back—after all,
          it's just down the street...

Their flashy words so rhetorical
Nothing new, just all historical
Words pregnant with deceit
Costumes mailed, in receipt
Unmasked, see... most are identical

The past is the one to blame
Yes future, it is his end game 
I will continue to eat
I will hand over the receipt 
Therefore, you can take the shame

Excuse me please can I return this heart,
The one you sold me was torn apart,
I have a receipt folded so neat,
Have you one in stock that doesn't beat,
Sorry love I've changed my mind,
Keep that heart it was never mine....

Love is banded and towering often steps to the high life love is creeping and unexpected but never restless titled but gilded in a process of smooth and cyclic dates and in exchange love is a gift with a receipt some return it or some keep it...

Receipt Please


Bar Coded, black printed lines code blue,
    scan the check, percent, percent, lost sku...

Recheck the check, second guessed, false or true,
    Prints report, the number sport, win or lose?...

Back slash, back slash, speed of light
Still my printer will not write.
Unplug, reboot, check the wires,
Now I need those tiny pliers.
Twist, turn, smash the keys,
Make it work, dear God please!
If-then, control alt delete, 
Where oh where is the receipt?...

Basically quite happy if i was on the planet myself
friends that turned to fiends
family drifted away
went for a fitting for in but didn't
picked at the uluars
Strang has took an e
We i r
do do welcomed
hope the plants take over
let the earth takes itself back...

the bloody Y

their time on earth it was complete,
a gruesome death perchance did meet,
books now balanced, of  'sow n reap', 
come up a level Alice.
for your receipt,
of malice,
next time a better life to keep,
perhaps you earned a palace?

I submitted a chapbook;
a competition,
paid my twenty-five dollars
and waited.
All I got was an e-mailed receipt.
I had to go on-line to see –

no mention.

That was years ago
but I now mention it
for most of those unripe words
have now turned to wine
and sometimes they are 
good enough to drink....

Welcome to the new Strange,
I'm founded well upon that which has come before;
Let's arrange 
What's still unknown.
So, who knows where might be the Corps,
A bone?
Receipt,
What's left in store?
Rate.
Welcome to the new Strange.
How might we find the new Corps?
"Grrrrreat!"

The hamburger's only a craving I had
to money I spent on flavour they add.
A bun 'top a pickle and a taste of dill, 
then napkins and a tray with receipt to thrill.
From service through a window with a light grey-blue
to seating at a table meant for four will do.
A vision of a burger being chomped in air
is just another feeling that your gut won't share....

Mr and Mrs walking down the High Street
Shoe shop window her eyes did now greet
Into the shop they both went
Oh! those boots, please consent
Too dear, no purchase, no receipt

Ready for bed and feeling so fruity
His hand now caressing her beauty
Cutting sharpness she says
With no payment display
No horse shoes, your not riding it's booty

Silly stupid me by golly
I just can't believe my folly!

I am just damaged way too much
To be in receipt of love as such.

Just for one second in time
I believed I could shine.

Who am I kidding?
Life around me is skidding.

Loving me is a nothing but a curse
Your heart will leave me in a hearse.

Happiness is just not meant for me.
Love, for me, not ever meant to be....

After buying into love, your receipt
has innumerable hurt charges. Some 
a little more taxing than others, and 
some are unnoticeable, making 
withdrawals from the next patronizing 
victim. 

   I've learned to pay close attention to 
the fine print for non-refundable, and
to purchase when 2 for the price of 1 
is the sale.

If I were to just pray to God to love you;
Would He grant me my receipt?
If I called upon Him spiritually;
Would He tell you I’m for you?
Now formally, arising at truths;
You’re my queen a love I share with only Him
You’re more valuable than monies, rubies gold and gems
my LOVE for U is Spiritually NOT monetary

FALLEN

Pepped up for her wedding
          Geared and went beyond my resources 
                    Travelled miles on receipt of invite
                                She clung only to special few
                                      Unapolegetically ignored and broken, I regretted going
