GOLD

It just amazes me
-I write about my plumbing
and I get    "ads on blog"
about ... plumbing

this is the way it is
   these days

but what if I wrote about
   GOLD?
will I get ads about
   GOLD?

but how do I get that GOLD
sent to me
"fed ex"...

I visualize...
pots and pots of GOLD
delivered to my door...

I visualize the poor "fed ex guy"
or girl
struggling under the weight of it

the truck
   listing to one side
from the
weight
   of all that GOLD

and I must arrange
for storage
   -some room at
   Fort Knox
move over Feds...
(I'd better not use THAT word
or the Feds may find me)
what would they have to advertise
-except about the fine job they're doing
growing deficits and devaluing paper money
and taxing what's left of us
into the poor house-

Which is why I need that delivery
Stat!

I try to be
   very zen
   very spiritual
but I find I need to eat
and sleep someplace

what a crazy country
what a crazy world
Where it costs so much
-just to get by

so the "new agers" say
all we need do
is visualize
GOLD, GOLD, GOLD
and it will manifest
   in our lives

With my luck!
It will be another
   GOLD crown
in my mouth
costing some unbelievable amount
accompanied with
   pain and suffering
   and Valium
