Been looking to start something else
Even though I have five hundred or so projects in the works.
Given all that, something new has caught my eye.
I wonder if I could squeeze it in if I sacrifice something else.
Nobody really needs to sleep, right?
Crayola’s yellow box made his eyes go wide.
Realizing all one hundred twenty colors inside were his to work with.
And that thought had him wondering what he should color first.
Yukon forests? Dragons breathing fire on a horde of gold? Something from the Matrix?
Of course, he could let his imagination run wild and do something totally out of the box.
Next moment he was using a heat gun to make a three-dimensional sunset!
Can’t figure out which flavor of Daquiri she wanted
Of course there was the Classic Martini, or one of a hundred permutations
Can’t forget the Old Fashioned, but she thought she wanted something newer
Kicking back a Whiskey Sour might put a nice pucker on her lips
Though maybe some bubbles with a Moscow Mule
Ah, or going tropical and hit up a Mai Tai
If not perhaps a Sloe Gin Fizz would hit the nostalgic spot, but not tonight
Leading her to decide on a Rum and Coke since sometimes simple is better
She was sad when her drink disappeared after she misplaced it moments later.
She smelled easy money in the air
Everyone was all beer, pizza, and Buffalo winged out.
Now she felt it was time for her to execute her plan while they were in the drunken gluttony afterglow
So fellas, listen up. What do you say we have a little side wager on the game?
Everyone agreed. Two hours later she was seen five hundred dollars richer
Putting letters into envelopes
Outside affixing addresses
Sending them from random mailboxes
That way they can’t trace it back to him
And when his victims open them?
Giving them something they will never forget
Everyone loves a fresh hundred-dollar bill, even if they are homemade

Stuck with an itch to do something
Cathy decided to set out on an adventure
Really it was just a trip to the casino
And she only brought fifty bucks
That made it even more interesting to her
Could be she was wasting her time
Hour later she was three hundred to the good, and that made some nice…

Bent over itself over one hundred times
Leaving a subtle strength and flexibility
And then quenched for hardness
Deidre respected everything the katana had been through
Everything she had done, and then some

Crisp hundred dollar bill was slipped inside the card
Okay, maybe that wasn’t enough. A second one went in
Now that should buy some mercy or at least forgiveness
She couldn’t want that much more from him
Everything had gone according to plan
Quaint superstitions and taboos were maintained
Under his watchful eye
Everything had gone perfectly
Now he realized that perfect had been from his perspective
Couldn’t have anticipated she would have so much trouble with it
Everyone is a bit weird. People were messy, and she was people
Still, two hundred should buy his way out, right?
