Good or Gone
I’ve enjoyed writing for many years. I'm dedicating more time to the craft in my retirement days.

Good or Gone
If you think to yourself:
Make money, make money I will!
Toss together some words
That are no more than swill
You have erred
You’re confused
You arrived at a tree
Where your bark
Will get no bite
Do you see?
If you think to yourself:
Make money, make money I shall!
Recycle cute phrases
You got from Google, old pal
You’ve misjudged
You’re mistaken
You arrived at a fork
Where your choice
Is like Yogi’s
But don’t take it
Definition of dosh
British, informal
: money
— “Dosh.” Merriam-Webster.com Dictionary, Merriam-Webster, https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/
If you think to yourself:
Make money, make money by gosh!
I’ll tell my life story
Just think of the dosh!
Please rethink
Reconsider
I beg of you please
Hook a louie
Do a U-ie
For me
For us
And indeed…
For youie
I’m asking
For a friend
My friend
Or my acquaintance
If you’d rather
As a substitute
Consider realistically
Your efforts
Not super
But supernumerary
Direct yourself
To point ‘B’
Is that point ‘B’ you just said?
Point ‘B’ did you say?
It seems to me, mon ami
That that’s the wrong way!
Shouldn’t instead
I go looking
For starting point ‘A’?
Oh, hey
No way, I say
Not starting point ‘A’
That’s the wrong way
Steinway
Head instead
On over
To point ‘B’
And then ‘E’
And then Gee
OH
EN
E
Phonetically
You see
It’s a message
From me
BE GONE
Or be good
Get good
The former
Or the latter
Is fine
For what I have in mind
‘Cuz it’s the writing
The lettering
The letters
The prose
The script
The words to the page
The things that get writ
And wrote
And written
And said
Expressed
Penned
Authored
Proffered
Those all
They must be
Gee double oh
Gee double oh dee
Do you see?
GOOD
Let that be
The case
Else
Please
Bee
E
Gee
Oh
En
E
