"It's too dark in this place," said the gent.
"Did this restaurant NOT pay its rent?
Your damn, flickering light
On the menu's a blight.
I give up. You have lamb? I'm lamb bent."

A baker whose voice was quite high
Cracked a mirror while #singing — no lie.
How she longed for the stage!
But an agent, quite sage,
Shattered hope: “Face it — pie in the sky.”

A lim’rick a day keeps away
The doctor — at least, so they say.
Well okay, I’ll concede
I invented that lede,
But it sure beats that #apple cliché!

A "connected" curmudgeon named Frank.
Had a high-level job at a #bank.
His performance was panned;
He deserved to be canned...
Yet (surprise!) he survived when ranks shrank.

There will be no banking backwards
No heavy bends that change the course.
I know my path, I know where I’m headed.
I was the only part I needed to source.
I’m banking on myself, just like I always did.
I found my way with gentleness, no desire for force.

A software firm held a dry run,
But the arms-tracking code wasn’t done.
It failed test after test,
Till the owner confessed:
“I’m too stressed to work under the gun.”

Indecision is a thing I do
And I’m #undecided
over me and you.

There’s only so much I can take
Before my #arm drops every plate
The hurt spins away
Escalating each day
As I spiral to uncertain fate.
A baker was trying his #hand
At launching a rock and roll band.
He played the guitar,
And he hoped to go far.
But alas all his gig dates were panned.

I guess guardian angels are fine.
I don’t know, cuz I’ve never met mine.
If I have one, it’s hiding—
No guarding, no guiding.
What I’m missing, I can not divine.

There was an old woman lived under a hill,
And if she's not gone she lives there still.

I should write, but I've nothing to say;
Inspiration is #waning today.
My damn muse is a pill!
She won't help me until
I'm done filing my taxes. Oy Vey!

I #exalt no one,
not even myself.
We are all discovering
What brings us wealth.
Rarely without,
always within
A path of getting comfortable
In wearing our own skin.
Diving to the depths
Finding the hurting parts,
Giving them love
So we can find our fresh start.

A mezzo-soprano conductor
to her choir was quite the instructor;
at a tenor she’d wink
as she brought him in sync
with her tempo—a marriage destructor.

A bootlicking fellow named Ross
Worked in footwear and fawned on his boss.
Many co-workers mocked him.
One gal even socked him.
He's boss now ... and she's on the sauce.

"For John believed that music was not a skill, but the refreshed revelation of the will, which must be kept free from things that think as it does, lest the melodies turn to strings and chords melt to mud." -- Chords by Patrice Jacqueson
