FOR SALE
We got knickknacks,
We got year-old tic-tacs.
We got half-shined shoes,
We got a ghost that says
Boo!
I look at all this crud in our yard,
And I know that it will never happen,
But I wish we had money to stay in this house.
My sister is crying because she can't keep her favorite blouse.
I just wish we could stay in this house.
I guess we'll live in the car,
I feel like a fly trapped in a jar.
A single tear falls in my lap
And I wonder...
Will we ever come back.

SELLING THE WORLD
I'll sell you the world.
But, you must have patience;
The world is always fighting with itself.
The world is hard to take care of;
Its always trashy.
You must also be stern,
For the world never listens.
You must be lenient,
The world has many different opinions.
Maybe I should sell Jupiter,
There are no people there to mess it up.
