Escape

In case you’ve yet to notice...
regarding certain services,
the price increases every time you ask.

Rams not known to the rut,
write no odes slamming ewes.

Urban Version: 
Late trains are cursed only by those wishing to catch a train.

The best hope for escape
is escape

Over near the debaters spot in the park,
I heard one ole grizzler declare,
“Blank verse – smank hearse – I say
it ain’t poetry if it don’t rhyme.” 
And a by-stander asked me,
“Did he say ‘whine’?”

Then there was this one guy who,
every time he heard the old song,
“It Had To Be You,”
really thought that it had to be him.
