Swish swanky subtle,  perception intended (not)

happens so that some folk go on nil, to arrive at a lot!...

Dear Lord, I feel roxy!
I am on the move!
No need for a proxy,
Let me enjoy the groove.

Hey you! Looking swanky! 
It turns out you could do
Good deal hanky-panky.
Come closer - I won't sue....

Subtle, a swanky sweet swan-themed restaurant in Cincinnati
Accidentally took evening reservations for a hundred and three
Unfortunately, their capacity limit is twenty-five and a half
The booking agent got fired, which reduced the staff...

There once was a fair swanky maiden
Who each week at Weight Watchers weighed in
    Her whole new attitude
    On her arm fresh tattooed 
Heaped desserts no more for her laden

I am without a flash red car...

I am without a new swanky house...

I do have chilled tomato juice...
I do have chilled tomato juice...

This true dream...sealed in reality...

I do have chilled delicious tomato juice...
that my love gave me - today...

I do have chilled delicious tomato juice...
that my love gave to me - today......

She had aspirations
Wanted to belong
Hung out in swanky clubs
With the creme de la creme
That percentile with pure blue blood
Attended all the soirees
She dressed the part
Loved to strut her stuff
Never turning down a challenge
She blew till she was blue
A girl's gotta do what a girl's gotta do

From
our pink deck with a Jarra  cocktail table-set
We sit awaiting  sunset with an
 ‘Hawaiian absence’ of seagulls
As dusk comes  with violet echoes
across the spotted water,
from the resturaunts
 comes a wine hubbub - table- laughter

Mountains, marshmallowed
in occasional cloud on this still night- 
constant torchlight on quiet water
un-moving palms, paddle sounds

A swanky stingray drifts past

A shadowed water taxi 
and strangers who wave at us

I am a gambling man
broken by the world again
I’m not what  i am
but who cares where i stand
jealous eyes and the lonesome rain
is all i have for my enternal shame
swanky cars,ruby lips
and thin cigars
happy people with happy lifes
parade like peacocks in their empires of lies
my sinful soul will never fail
I’m seldom wrong and i’m never right
so bound my feet and tie my hands
and just throw me into the fiery pits of hell
if jesus has the will
maybe he can forgive my rotten heart...
