Laughter is the Best Medicine for The Recession

Warning:  If this is the first time your reading me...STOP IT!

This is not a love sonnet engraved in a necklace locket.

Unlock your mind, and lighten up.

It's a lyrical enlightenment, and I can John Locke it.

My philosophy is honesty and modesty

with a dose of hip-hop, pop, and hypocrisy.

This economy already sucks, so laugh and walk with me.

I can't afford the transit fare monthly

cause I probably have more money in the bank of Monopoly. 

I got no Clue in this Game of Life, 

Sorry! My Cranium is in Trouble; I might need an Operation

Okay, enough of this wordplay board game compilation.

This nation is in complications, the job market is shrinking.

I'm financially stuck in deep waters 

..and my Battleship is sinking.

(and if you thought I wouldn't mention that game...what the waka-waka-waka were you thinking?)

But doesn't it suck how it's all about luck?

Such is life:

you guess right, you win and the other person gets fucked. 

So what if my glass is half empty in the darkest days?

I don't cry over spilt milk.... (DAMN CARPET STAINS!!)

They say to live life to the fullest, "Carpe Diem.." 

I say you can't live if you get paid crap per diem.

On 'crap per diem' - good to know laughter is still free [ maybe that will change to - that would be taxing, haha!]

Loved the fun and serious side of this poem!

I agree.
"They say to live life to the fullest, "Carpe Diem.."

In the end. The people with the less to lose. Lose less. Maybe only real salvation. A powerful poem and thoughts. Left things for the reader to think about.

What fun! This was very creative and almost flows like a song with a good beat. I like how you brought in the board games to lighten everything up a bit.
The only thing that you might want to take a look at is 6th line down... I think you were meaning hip hop. Overall though very entertaining. Good job yet again.
