American I'm just a guy with way / too much time on his hands / and a twisted sense of humor. / I just started writing this stuff / and wanted a public reaction to it. / There will be more to come possibly / some that are decent.
Hello Facebook my old friend. I'm reading posts on you again. Up at 2:30 in the morning Checking likes and shares and replying. Read alerts beneath the ringing bell. What the hell, am I doing on Facebook? As through the posts I quickly scroll. Seeing kittens, dogs and trolls. Trying not to click on the ad spam. Found a recipe for a baked ham. And a private message from a long lost friend. But I know not when. I added this person, on Facebook. 10,000 clicks and maybe more. My index finger's mighty sore. All the smileys, likes and emojis. Likes on my posts giving me jollies. Requests from people that I do not even know. My friends list grows. To thousands of people, on Facebook. "Will this nightmare ever end?" I ask as I add a friend. But all the games and all the puzzles. Popping balloons and bursting bubbles. I have got to try to get a better score. It's such a chore. Playing the games, on Facebook. Suddenly one day I learned. Zuckerberg on me had turned. Selling all my saved information. To companies in all lands and nations. Making a profit off me like I was his *** I did not know. Violated, by Facebook But I did not stay mad long. Even though it was so wrong. I have to see how many likes I had. I want to know this stuff awfully bad. And now the data selling's out of mind. And thus I find. Myself again, on Facebook.

Facebook (Sung to the melody of the song "Silence")
Here's a dream for someone to analyze. I was eating this stuff I was finding like a snack food but I didn't know what it was or where I was finding it. I just knew it was the best thing I ever tasted. It had a waxy texture that kinda stuck to my teeth and reminded me of perhaps candle wax but It was so good that I ran around to all my friends to get them to try it but no one would. In fact they were appalled that I was eating it at all. Eventually, as I continued to eat the stuff like I was addicted because I was, me friends started to chastise me and threaten to end our friendship if I didn't stop so I started to sneak eating it so no one would see me doing it. Eventually though, I got caught by my brother who acted very disappointed in me. So he threatened to commit me to an asylum if I didn't stop eating the stuff. I explained how tasty and good it was and that I didn't want to stop. He then told me in a stern voice to look at what I was eating so I looked down and in my hands were these very dark brown dried up cat turds that I was apparently retrieving from the litter box but I didn't remember where I got them from. As the realization of what I was eating dawned on me, I instantly became horrified. So horrified that I woke up and sat straight up in my bed. It was so vivid that I had to go to the bathroom and wash my mouth out. I think I will remember this dream for the rest of my life.

A Weird Dream
Long ago when the time came for two of every animal to board Noah's ark to avoid the coming flood, every animal, except the Unicorns, made it onto the boat because the unicorns were too busy frolicking and playing in the grass. So when the flood came and the unicorns saw that they were going to drown they cried out "Oh Lord, please save us from the rising water that we may not drown!" On hearing their cries and seeing the unicorns in such danger, God asked them "Why did you not board the ark as you were told to?" And the unicorns replied "We were too busy playing and forgot. We are sorry! Please help us!" So God, having mercy on them, changed them into whales so that they would not drown and would survive the flood. And that is why the narwhal whales have horns and why unicorns no longer exist.

** ** ** ** ** ** We think Santa smells! We think Santa smells. And he smells like hell It's not to laugh 'cause Santa needs a bath! Yes, we think Santa smells. Sweating day and night, in his suite so tight. Stop this debate 'cause it's too late. Yes we think Santa smells. We have had about enough of this stinky man. We must surely formulate a bathing plan. Santa's gone too long and the odor's strong. Don't be a dope and grab that soap! 'Cause we think Santa smells. (Instrumental) We've an urgent job to do so our eyes won't tear. Every time to us Santa Claus comes near. We think Santa smells. And he smells like hell. It's not to laugh 'cause Santa needs a bath. Yes we think Santa smells. ** **

We think Santa Smells (Sung to "We are Santa's Elves)
Little Princess Perfect without a single flaw Thought that she was perfect in every way she saw But one day she ran into a crazy, orange man Who said "I am better and will beat you because I know I can" Princess perfect laughed and her court well they laughed too "You cannot win against me and my loyal crew!" Little Princess Perfect and the man with funny hair Got into a contest that seemed far from fair. Princess Perfect with her legions of subjects said "You're a sexist bigot and have an orange head!" So the man replied to her face "And you're a crooked cuck!" "You're also sick and greedy you lying, corporate schmuck!" Little Princess Perfect who thought she'd already won Laughed and played and called him names while he continued to run "I will make this kingdom great once again I vow!" And multitudes applauded him as he took a bow. "You're all deplorable!" Princess Perfect cried "How can you sleep at night taking this orange faced man's side?" "Princess Perfect your days are numbered." he said in return "People want this kingdom great. That's for what they yearn" "People will never choose you!" Princess Perfect said "Look at the polls you orange **** You're as good as dead!" And all her court agreed she had already won So laugh and play they did having unending fun. Then when the day came to decide the combatant's fate Princess Perfect with her court could hardly stand to wait. "Get ready to celebrate my loyal, faithful fans!" Princess perfect cried to all throughout the land. And as the kingdom came together and began to count the votes Princess Perfect felt a lump deep in her throat. "What the hell is happening?" She cried to her staff. The totals made no sense to her and all had ceased to laugh "This is impossible! He's pulling way ahead!" Princess Perfect panicked and her soul filled with dread "I am Princess Perfect! I know I cannot lose!" But the kingdom voted and the crazy orange man they did choose.

I thought I heard you laughing there not far from me So I turned to look where I thought you'd be But much to my dismay as I became aware That it was not you my heart sank in dispair The laughter that I heard sounded as it should I badly want to see you I truly wish I could I know you had to leave though it was much too soon But you stayed brave and bright like the sun up high at noon I felt so very helpless as I watched you slip away I'd have done anything but I couldn't make you stay There was always laughter whenever you were near And that is why I miss you my most beloved dear You filled my life with love and my love for you did grow Even to the day I had to let you go All that's left are memories of someone I once had And now that you are gone all I feel is sad It was very hard to see the pain that you were in You didn'd let it beat you and bravely held up your chin How I deeply wished I could've taken your place So that you could share your lovely, smiling face Sadly, that was something that wasn't meant to be And all I could do was hope that soon you'd be set free To fly like an angel far away from here And to never again have to shed a tear Clearly I remember all the time I spent with you All the laughs, and the smiles, and fun that we had too Everything I taught you and all that I had learned All the love I felt for you that had been truly earned Every time you smiled or I wiped tears from your eyes Up unto the time we said our last good-byes I thought I heard you laughing

Is reality mostly empty space? Or all our experiences in this place? A fleeting smile on a loved ones face, That disappears without a trace? By what scale do we measure? Is it our pain and our pleasure? What we trash and what we treasure? What we do for fun or leisure? In our agony or our ****** Do we think that we can see, What is truly meant to be? And are we really, truly free? All the places we must go, Is it only just a show? And all the things that we must know, Do they truly help us grow? Do we simply live and die? Do we ever truly fly? In the end you can only try. Just keep looking to the sky.

What Is Reality?
Animal Crackers and my soup Undigested in my **** All the food I ate today Coming out in the same way Uncontrollable urge to strain Even though it causes pain My poor sphincter it does burn And my guts just churn and churn Pepto Bismol my old friend Go right now and put an end To the horrible, rancid flow Burning my **** as it does go Cramping spasms all day long Something I ate went horribly wrong Could it be the salad or bread? Or maybe something not quite dead? Perhaps it was the chicken or stew Or the fish, boo hoo hoo! I'm just praying for an end So my **** can start to mend And then suddenly to my surprise That nasty flow simply dies Gleefully I start to wipe But then as I start to swipe I hit a very tender spot That feels like it is now red hot Now the Charmin feels real rough Like tree bark or abrasive stuff I finish wiping with great care While the pain I grin and bear At last I stand and flush with glee That nasty stuff that came from me A moment later to my shagrin I feel the urge to sit again

Food Poisoning
Pooey, pooey, poo. Gee, I smell you. It's time to take a bath now. Stinky, stinky, doo, you friends do to. You reek and oh you stink, wow! So could you hurry to the shower and rub some soap all over you *** Don't hold back! And if you do remove the peu you'll find your friends won't gag and hack. That's a fact! So pooey, pooey, poo. What will you do? There's a bathtub fillin'. Stinky, stinky, doo. It's up to you. To wash off that penicillin.

Pooey, Poo (Sing to the Scooby Do Theme) By Mike West
My only child, whom I love Angels sent you from above As pure to me as a white dove A happiness I knew not of Every day your shining face Showed me love I could embrace My heart and soul it interlaced To never move from it's place We really did have lots of fun You and I, little one I never wanted it to be done Every moment in the sun Although we were torn apart For a while, for your part You loved me still in you heart And faith, in me, you did impart Yours is love,the greatest gift And it does, my spirits lift Though there was an enormous rift You never from my heart did drift You never failed, my loving child To show to me your caring mild Your angel face that always smiled And many kisses upon me piled And now that you are fully grown The memories that I do own Seeds, that in my heart were sown Of happiness that we have known And even though I reminisce Of times, I feel, that I did miss Or of you was, perhaps remiss These you tenderly dismiss Your everything a child should be I truly feel your love for me And in you myself I see Everything good of some degree And I do know as time goes on As surely as there will be dawn That even after I am gone Your love for me will live on
