Money Can't Buy You Common Sense

It's interesting to see

Flashy people

Going broke

While making a joke

Out of themselves

Instead of gaining wealth

Before moving in a penthouse

They've gone into foreclosure

Getting no equity or cloat

By losing their house indefinitely

While having to shack up with family

After staring in

A million dollar expose

Set to release on Cable TV

Not on DVD

Where revenue could buy you

A brand new picket fence

This feature film has definitely been titled

Money Can't Buy You Common Sense

Author's Note

i like how spunky this one is! you tell em :)

[Pryde Foltz]

This feature film has definitely been titled

This a very poignant line. Love the wryness of it and the conclusions it leads the reader to without you having to write the words. It is a very difficult thing you accomplished with it. Fits perfectly with the rest of your poem. Like, like, like.

"Instead of gaining wealth
Before moving in a penthouse" Well ain't that the truth... When I use to manage a department store I had these two sisters maybe twenty working for me.. One day I over heard them talking about having to pay either the cable bill or the electricity... They had paid the cable bill... "Why did you do that instead of paying the electric?" I asked... We cant live without Cable was the reply... lmao.. I wonder what they did when the electric went off... hehehe... I like the way your poems deal with real life and are thought provoking Brian.. huggs, Rose

Like your snarky ditty, common sense ain't so common after all, and you can't buy it either, nice one!

[Leandro Mendez]

great sense of humor and irony! great work!

[Rita L. Sev]

Ha! So true - can't buy you love, or common sense - and both are needed to be truly wealthy in this life.
