Where is my payday?
Can I survive,
Like waiting for Godot,
Will it arrive.
Payday is a legend,
It may not exist,
Or lives with Gorillas,
Deep in the mist.
Maybe it swims in the river,
Or climbs on the rocks,
If transformed into money,
It probably talks.
So seldom it is seen,
Just 12 times a year,
So when it arrives
We will hear a cheer.
It will creep into the bank,
Like a thief in the night,
And be gone by the morning,
As my creditors give fright.
So hear I will work,
Day in and day out,
While the legend of payday,
Is gossiped about.

by C. L. Craven
Like a castle in the sand
Worn by waves in time
A payday that seemed mammoth
Reduced to a thin dime
My paycheck never seems
Priorities
Nougat, nuts, a hint of salt
Bought from the corner store
A trip around the board
Of a game called Life
All playful
