When I'm hungry...
A sandwich

When I'm thirsty...
A beer

What price can you place
on that held as most dear?

Come!   Bid on my soul.
It's yours...
For the right sum.

The auction has started.
Come !    Come !

When I'm lonely...
Some lovin'

When I'm sad...
A good joke

At times...
It is yours...
For a tailor made smoke.

Take it and use it...
Do as you will...

Embrace or abuse it...
I've had my fill
of trying to find it.

Can it be "saved" ?

What is it that binds it?

Is it depraved?

I will let you
decide such a thing.

I don't cater to it...
and it does not cling.

Perhaps, I'll try Ebay
One never knows...
What price...day to day
for which a soul goes.

What will you do with it?

I haven't a care.

It's "yours" for the taking...
If the price is found fair.

HeyAlrightNow
WhattaYa
WannaBidForIt?

Redeem it...
Ream it...
Despise or
Adore it !

Raise it to Heaven...
Cast it to Hell...
Subtract or add leaven
and a "rotten egg" smell.

I am not pretending...
and though it may
be found trite...
It's "yours" for the "mending"...
If the price is found right.

Well this earthy little nurse angel has a big divine needle and some silk thread to mend that soul of yours! I'll have you as innocent as a newborn babe in the time it takes to say, "Hallelujah, Lord! I'm born again!"

Mind you, I wouldn't want to go too far with this! Being too innocent isn't all that much fun! lol

Enjoyed the read!

Hugs to you,
EA
