  • Vacation on Vacation

    I want to go on a holiday  But I need a little more pay  Where should I go?  Some place I don’t know?  Scotland is where, I say. 

  • Home on the Range

    Growing up on the range  Sounds mighty weird and strange  I was born in the city  Where I was used to feeling itty bitty  But now my entire family is completely void of the stock exchange 

  • Repent

    Everywhere the sunshine went  The more money that was spent  On books, magazines and flare  Promising the art of no glare  Not remembering it was time to repent

  • On the Run

    Photo by Ivana Cajina on Unsplash  I knew the day was full of possibilities as soon as I woke up. The hazy mountains held so many secrets and I wanted to find out every single one. I looked over my shoulder at the tents closest to mine and decided I would be better off without…

  • The Lottery

    I stared at the numbers on the television above the bar and tried not to scream.  I knew the numbers by heart because they were the same numbers on the lottery ticket I had purchased earlier that day.  I had never bought a lottery ticket before this morning, but I was in a weird spot. …
