Homemade Common Sense Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Homemade common sense,
Seems to always get the rent paid...
When it comes to the basics of life kept valued.
With a clear separation to save those needs,
From wants that can be held to give time to delay.

Homemade common sense,
Is...
Prioritized over any other wish intended to attempt.
To then sacrifice a taste one wants to freeze on ice.
To thawed out to think about 'if' resources permit it.

Living life without excuses to use a shovel to dig,
Out of debts one regrets eventually benefits...
Those who remain upbeat and positive.
And when those greedy temptations come to appear,
It becomes easier to face reality than to invite the crying of tears.

That old homemade 'and' outdated common sense,
Is...
Prioritized over any other wish intended to attempt.
To then sacrifice a taste one wants to freeze on ice.
To thawed out to think about 'if' resources permit and/or forget!

Living life without excuses to use a shovel to dig,
Out of debts one regrets eventually benefits.
Since homemade common sense seems,
To not only get the rent paid...
But can save someone from excuses, alibis AND embarrassment.
