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
