Sometimes a simple rhyme can raise that smile.
Crunch Time
In times of desperation
We use desperate measures
We refinance our homes
And we part with family treasures
It breaks my heart to drive straight past
The mega-savings sale
Without the cash spare to indulge
And no cheques in the mail.
The mortgage still needs paying though
Although the value's dropped
The housing market sinking fast
The housing boom just stopped.
But what about important things
The things that come for free
Like having healthy children
And a happy family
A solid roof above your head
A fire to fight off cold
Grandchildren that will keep you young
When you are feeling old.
So just before you get all sad
And slip into depression
Just think of all the things you keep
In light of a recession
And thank the stars for all the things
That come without a cost
With family all around you
You'll see hope is never lost.
Please enjoy my words. |

IHow do you make a living from a site like this? I do not class myself as a poet, that would be far too serious. I class myself as someone who has a knack of throwing together a few verses on any subject that is in my mind. I enjoy making the words rhyme and get satisfaction from looking back at rhymes I have written, wondering where they came from. I hope you enjoy my words. I hope you smile where you are supposed too, and I hope they make you think, just for a moment, about their meaning to you. Many are based on my own experiences and I hope you can relate to them.
