    Pay Day Prisioner

    At 6 am the alarm crows it’s time to get up out of bed.

    Many days I wish time would stop so I could lay right there instead.

    Without her I often wonder, how much different my life would be.

    Yea she’s the reason for the clock that’s made a prisoner of me.

     

    I’m a Prisoner of the dollar bill, a  prisoner of the work,

    A prisoner of the payments and the’re  drivein me beserk.

    I’m a Prisoner without bars I’m  in a cell without a door.

    Im doing time just like a prisoner and I don’t like it any more.

     

     If I had never met that woman I would be a different man.

    My address would be skid row though cause I don’t give a damm

    This house the car the swimming pool hey these things are not all free

    Yea she’s the reason for the job that’s made a prisioner of me.

     

    A prisioner of this day and age the wardens’s colored green.

    We all say that we hate the stuff that we need  for everything.

    And I would bet a whole months pays its only money she can see.

    Yea she’s the reason for the cash that’s made a prisioner outta  me.

     

    They say nothing in this life’s for free, there is no truer sayin.

    So I guess just for the time at hand that I’ll just keep on  payin.

    But still I wonder if she’d be here with me without my money tree.

    Guess I’ll find out when I quit this job that’s made a prisioner of me.

    The first line caught my eye, I like your phrasing, love the timing and the subject. how well we can all relate to this... great poem! mlea

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
