Poetry: Wants and needs

Wants and needs, needs and wants.
Give me, please, I need, need, need.
My grandson says, and thank you,
Don't mention it.

I need, I need, I need,
New clothes, Daddy, I need,
Although the week before,
The closet was full because of greed.

The wife says,"Buy me a new car",
Not because of need.
The color,red, was wanted,
So yes, she demanded.

To want to excess is so shameful, people,
Maybe we need to head for the steeple.

    Fading Fast....

    All I want to do is drink
    Then complain about the wrath
    I enjoy the time I spend while drunk
    But dread the pains
