Trackless sand


Proverbs 1:32 New English Translation (NET Bible)

32 For the waywardness of the
simpletons will kill them,
and the careless ease of fools will destroy them.

 

 

It happens

 

Driving rain ... sheets of water

Flushing power ... water washed

Gullies of pain ... for a quarter

Leaning towers ... out of cash

 

Constant hunger ... overweight

Wrinkle-free ... now in style

Get the plunger ... overpaid

Let me be ... for a while

 

Trackless sand ... parking lots

Everyone ... be somewhere

Undermanned ... kid you not

Overdone ... everywhere

 

Being free ... not locked up

Just tied down ... many desires

Not to be ... won’t get up

All the clowns ... on the wire

 

The day is done ... time galore

Partly wasted ... almost there

All is gone ... open doors

Turkey basted ... no more flair
