Reality of Life By Paul Wilson Stomp the grapes plucked from vine Saturday night aristocrats need their wine Wineries say it’s another good year Tell that to the liquor store cashier Grocery store chains keep getting bigger With prices so high what’s to figure Blame the weather it’s dryer and warmer Tell that to the local farmer Wives clipping coupons each day Trying to save a penny some way Two for one the add says so nice Only to find they’ve doubled the price How will the poor folks get ahead Some of us can’t afford to buy bread Medicine needs re-filling now What do they think I’m a cash cow We work hard all our life Just to support three kids and a wife Hoping for that one big break Praying we don’t make a mistake Credit cards our ticket to ride When the bills come due we try to hide I’ve had it up to here we say I know there’s got to be a better way I’ll get of my soap box… okay Hell their re-possessing it today Just one more thought before I go Why is this traffic moving so slow "To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you" [This message has been edited by Paul Wilson (09-10-2003 05:59 AM).] |

"I’ll get of my soap box… okay Hell their re-possessing it today" LOL...enjoyed those lines in particular. Unfortunately, there is a lot of truth in this write. Still gave me a chuckle though...thanks for that.  Hugs,  ~Vicky If you judge people, you have no time to love them. |

Vicky... Thanks for the smile. Glad you liked it. I had to tone down one of the lines, it got a little border line.We might as well laugh a little about it, what else can we do? I appreciate the nice reply...Paul "To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you" |

Make sure you get all the soap out of that soapbox before they snag it... I enjoyed this one, Paul...  |

Susan...LOL at your reply. I'm with you on the cell phone thing. My credit card usage is on an emergency basis only. I figure if I need it I get it, but if I want it I have to wait till I can pay for it in cash. Glad you enjoyed this and glad you got a laugh out of it...Paul "To share my poems with you is to share my heart with you" |

It is important that we maintain a sense of humour through some of life's realities ~ I see yours is in fine form! Keep smiling and don't let them see you sweat!   Linda |

This is delightful - I like poems that are a bit of social commentary, and the humor makes it so much better - but your message still comes across! Well done, I'm liking this place more and more! ~ becky |
