Pay Check
A negotiable instrument
Earned n' discerned
To meet my sweetie
With bread and butter
A bi-weekly welcome guest
That hosts to enrich me
To gross up my grocery
For easy access on a rainy day
An instrument of joy
In playing tunes of toned-up life
A check that saves my cheek
To kindle candle at dusk
A tool to add calories to my courage
To wear swinging singing smiles
On highway speeding joy lanes
A wise device to cheer up,
My Rose and Buds in close up
Spice up my spouse even
Upgrade my home to heaven,
For my little angels from all angles
An unfailing father of my life
To further my days cool farther
To spruce up my little treasury
And drive away my misery
