Wake up to proverbial bell
put on shoes under spell
incantations have feet swing
find what early morning brings

wisps of challenge float away
reality film on movie trays
"go where the market grows
find fresh glacier flows"
ghosts of destiny taunts
psycho houses taunt
"even if these jobs suck,
one might , nurture luck"
in our town culture's excluded
fate rides well, hopes eluded

Perfunctory courtesies at a spill
apathy greets the dentists drill
"go where the market grows"
capture essence of currency flows
business ventures taunt
psycho houses haunt

Incantations garner mood swings
see what job delights luck brings
put on shoes, William Tell
wake up to proverbial bell.

I think I'd rather loaf with shear enjoyment
Sit back and watch people's court
And collect my unemployment...
This is a very good write my friend...know it took some thought...

Yea, I know what ya mean....it's a shame on how all your creditors really want to be paid back isn't it?....Some people have no sense of humor.....

Hey Toe,

and after years of paying in the system, ...and not only in this country.. unless you know that somebody...you're left with "a fly in the hand" as is translated
from the Italian
