More Than a King's Ransom

K-ing's ransom can pay
H-igh-end brand new car; 
E-ven the sophisticated one
N-ever can hide from afar.

A-s king's ransom can buy
S-uperior in quality gadget; 
I-n July twenty-first morn, 
A-n exclusive fee has no regret.

A-ny king's ransom
B-uys anything in the world; 
E-xcept the heart of a woman, 
L-ady who fears the Lord.
L-ife long and everlasting in the Almighty's kingdom; 
A-n abode of glorious crown is more than a king's ransom.

“A body can’t do everything,” frets Grandma.  
Hannah instantly joins kinswoman, laying
monogrammed napkins, opening peas quickly.
Reluctantlyly stopping, turns unto visitors.
“Who xrates young zucchini?”

-----------------------------

R ashly  he didn’t stop
A t the railroad crossing
I  t is known that he was seen
L ots of liquor tossing.
R oaring train just couldn’t stop.
O nward it sped ahead.
A t the crossing a big crash!
D rinking dude is dead!

C rying relatives bemoan
R ashness of young Moses.
O n his casket they have lain
S ome red and yellow roses.
S igns and signals cannot stop
I nattentive  losers
N o words of wisdom enough for
G uys who are driving boozers.
