If it were all to find where the cheese is at
I would not feel like a lost and lonely brat
Just a journey to a galaxy or star
Really not knowing how much further, how far
I could really use the job at Hallmark
There i can make a greater poet's mark
just sailing a long and distant shore
Not really sure what the journey is for
Some brave new mathematics
Greater than any bar room antics
The bar fly has retired
The alcohol has expired
What is taste?
What is haste?
Making the time
worth more than a dime
Got my poem spitten
Could have been better written
Not a walk in the park
Not to be a shot in the dark
The computer relays my rhyme
More than just passing time
Mediocrity begs excellence
I can write with eloquence
people's gotta work
gotta buy another shirt
taking my mind outside the cage
prepping and setting a better stage
This poem has reached its end
Somewhere, maybe a new friend
Putting the car into cruise
Trying to find some better views

I am trying to figure out if i can make the same amount of money working as a poet for Vocal that i can working part time as a dishwasher.
