"A Penny 4 My Thoughts"
A SylenceThePOET and ...Da RiDdLeR F0rT... Collaboration


  SylenceThePOET:

Sister uncle brother would you care to share
A penny for my thoughts
Just one cent for decades of knowledge
It wasnt a hard choice
Wanting to pimp my voice
All I require is 3-5 minutes for you to ingest my field holler
Shit Im selling thoughts for literally-
Pennies on the dollar
So can you spare some change
In hopes I can make a change
Day in and day out dutifully drudging up concepts
Based one precepts some judge worthless
See sir im not home-less
I just dont have a home left
Mortgage rate went sky high
But my minimum wage went up by 0.55
So now here before you
Stands I
So I reiterate sir
Care to share a penny for my thoughts?
For one-hundredth of a dollar your investment can rend riveting dividends
Expanding your mindstate way past everyday hustle
Straight onto street corner statistician
While youll be wanting to render your thoughts for spare change anyday now
I can preach to your kids and motivate your grandma-
Why I
Am the all-American dream
Getting something
For nothing
**Unless you find my nothing to be something, then in fact you ARE receiving-
what you paid for**

  ...Da RiDdLeR F0rT...:

Pennies, Dimes, Nickels, Quarters

--who0o0os mentally counting

My flows inexpensive
But wise water starts at $1 a gallon
So much for public sprinklers & free park fountains

Played the game called --'Let It Rain'-- brainstorming

--Out of order--

Pitching quarters.. coins bouncing

--Times, Timex ticking
thoughts clicking roll up pennies by the thousands
Bank them subconsciously
Damn!! trying to keep my safe silver mine/mind mounting

But currently
My conscious currency is positively amounting
--To ab {{SOUL}} tely nothing--

Substantial
---Im going for broke just ranting & raving
Pawn my thoughts quarterly
Every 3 months someone gives interest to my prose savings

Just ponder life
But astronomic economy taxes my socio-economic cognitive status
No wonder bums write spare change sign inCENTives--
MORE change is a sign of monetary mental madness

But I cant spend my last to shallow
.an alcohol flask or green thunderbird bottle---
My thoughts may increase in revenue like the stock market
Hopefully.. my thoughtful pennies convert to idealistic dollars.tomorrow

  SylenceThePOET:

They offer a penny for my thoughts
but want my .02 for free
but i keep hoarding cents, so my process makes sense for me
my flow my prose
its a gift and curse
bad credit in my verse
im past due and overdrawn in my coin purse
so would you offer a penny for my thoughts
ol' abe lincoln never thought what i've been thinking
taking my mind and converting it into dollar signs
if you retain my mind frame i guarantee a 2% quarterly increase every time
you can keep reinvesting the ideas till we reach peak interest
and maybe peak interest
and all this for less than a long distance phone call
we're slashing prices
buy now and get
TWO FOR THE PRICE OF ONE!
Thats right you heard it
one penny can buy you TWO thoughts
not semi-thoughts
half drawn out battle plans for reformation
full fledged
attack plans for revolution
humorous ramblings
shoot
I'll even throw in the love poems for FREE
so obviously you can see
your investment
will be well spent
not wasted on dorm rent
or gas (at 4 dollars and 5cents)
it will be added in
to my money bank bin
110,000 square feet of office space filedl to the top with copper slugs of monetary whims
a penny for my thoughts
flat rate with no more sense/cents
...and you thought YOU were a hustler!
Hah!

  ...Da RiDdLeR F0rT...:

C.lear E.loquently N.eeded T.oken.S
---which I dont horde in excess

Just for rainy days

.holding on sometimes my sense/cents may get wet
Then I spit drops of pennies
---its costly getting thoughts off my CHEST
So Id be a smart banker

Start an account for my thoughts
ya knowInVEST

Keep pennies under lock & key--
even my prose has internet pass codes
Just protecting my nest egg
---I want it to hatch to nickels watch it GROW

So0o0
I bury pennies in secret fields or other minds/mines
I heard a coin brings luck--
Stack them by the hundredths high ..
Thoughts are Washington monumental.. D[C]just look UP

---Not destitute
BUT not too proud to rub nickels or dimes
15 cents for a line
50 for a sentence
---Hey, Im just dying to make a dollar..Getting richin my SPARE time

Heres my hat..
Drop a few ..heavy penniesIll en[[LIGHT]]en you..if you dont mind

Everyones got an angle--
Just struggling to make my jeans jangle a little
Thoughts come by the MILLIONS
In forms of ideas..questions..comments or riddles

Never gambling.. no loss
Rather panhandling views for a meager coin toss

Are you confused??

--Listen--

Its your memory bank ..after all
Shouldnt YOU value your thoughts

Ask Yourself:: How much would one cost?
