A Dime

Mustn't be late
Mustn't be last
Mustn't be late for class.

Be silent
Be still
Build the skill.

A lick of time
And a lick of rhyme
Still won't give you
A lick of a dime.

End-of-Week...Manhattan

I made a cake-

Uh, I mean mistake.

Your shirt this weekend-

I mean work this weekend

Is to read a hook-

I mean book.

Take a rook-

I mean look

At cage 93-

I mean page 93.

Read these three silhouettes-

I mean vignettes.

What's off the coast of San Francisco?

Manhattan-

I mean Alca Traz.

Don't blame me,

It's the end-of-week

Conclusion-

Confusion.
