Some Change Poem by Shane Clawson

Settled into the big city

Burned a whole in my pocket

Next I'm scraping my sofa

For some lunch money

I can't help I got expensive taste

Lavish lifestyle has only been my focus

Point is, I need a change.


Walking into Bloomingdales,

Beauty creams and trending fashions

I'm going to take it all

Want a piece from every department

Forgot I got to save to pay my rent

Sign me up for a credit card

I can't help it

Point is, I need a change


After work, I saw a flyer

For a modeling gig, I should apply

Be a mannequin like the professionals

In the magazines looking fly

Versace, Harper's Bazarre, Vogue

Done with hammy downs, need expensive clothes

Got to toss my rags from my dorm days

Break into designer pieces

Until I break my wallet

Problem is I'm a dreamer

Wonderland can't solve my financial disasters

Flat line in my bank account

Point is I need a change

Can you help me out?
