Hell hath no fury like a scorned woman scorned What one man sees as “enchantment” In a woman’s eyes that soon sours into “harassment” Worse if the dude is a Dude, you’ll soon be sued That’s a double-whammy from women unglued When a wishful dream becomes a joke & turns into a hoax You’ll pay the price Palomino And if a Gay dude shuns a damsel in her “distress” That Gay gent gets the triple-whammy ‘Cause girls grow-up in the misplaced baloney That all men want & need female harmony Simply because they’re always ***** That becomes a hard dill for some women to swallow When reality sets in & the promise of marriage dims to hollow So Palomino you better look but not touch Or you’ll soon be in dutch You’ll discover the price was too high to pay And finding yourself wishing you were Gay — Ray Laccetti

PALOMINO
The more we move forward the more we go & become backward Near is the time for me & perhaps for us all, to get ready to exodus From a very insipid & hypocritical world that we knowingly have spoiled & mired Soon I’ll lay my body down, for me to kiss the ground. No more unforgiving- people-stuff to cosset & propound Nothing left to justify, to glorify, to try & figure-out, & to reason why Perhaps I’ll be remembered for some of the better-stuff that was me. Maybe not; little merit nor ever profound The joy was in the doing, the creating, not for any applause it might’ve generated That’s the way it should’ve been & not the other way around For the world has grown too old to dream & other hallucinations have taken-ground I don’t think I want to be around when the planet takes it’s final bow & becomes an even biger-bang slaughter-house grind — Ray Laccetti

DOOMSDAY
ROCK-BOTTOM • Republicans are for the inert-status-quo. While Democrats should be more ‘go-man-go.’ • Reps. growl: “if it ain’t broke, why try & fix it?” Dems. bark-back: “it IS broke, we must try & fix it!” • Progress is a stop & go process, a see-saw action. Proceed & advance to achieve it, without all the fanfare, distractions & nonsense. • Or stay stuck-in-the - middle, no pain & no gain, that should be verboten. • Or we’ll hit rock-bottom, drowned in the ocean, then be over, all but forgotten! — Ray Laccetti

NO YOKE Had a job where I often began early, only to quit late, just to keep a potato on my plate. Not the only chap to go thru that. It helped somewhat to complain of it to those who’d listen. As I look-back over that “workin’-my- ass-off-crap,” I recall truth might be stretched thin, but never will break & often rises above lies, & like oil, it floats on wine. Hard- work never hurt & only folks will complain, of commonplace yokes. — Ray Laccetti

NO YOKE
LIVE-WIRE Many days I’m self-critical, of myself, who else And there’s no-accounting for my tastes, either I’m a creative-yoyo, sitting on-my-shelf Who retreats into a shell, wherein I dwell, by myself & for the peccadilloes of irate, but tolerant, creatures I never wanted to be a so- called ‘everyday’ person Like those who climb church- steeples to meet other funamboulistic people — Ray Laccetti

TAKE TWO GUESSES lie detection for idiots fist-fights-for-fatties hosted by dirty-old-hosts whose only concern is the money they’re pocketing it only goes to explain the bottomless-pit-depth society has sunken into the only worth these shows hold for me are the hunky but amazingly-stupid dudes who appear there-in, along with their god-ugly-fat & equally dumb women-folk, forever crying ‘he’s cheatin’ to wit, I say to myself: at least these dude have some merit so shoot me if in disagree- ment but that’s the way I see it… those dudes should hook- up with each other & the women with jenny craig — Laccetti

SELFISHNESS-SNEEZES I still say abortion is totally wrong So I will persist in that honest song It’s up to folks to deter abomination & to learn some consideration A child doesn’t ASK to be born All births count & have the right to sing songs How self-centered to think or to believe the opposite of that Ever hear two wrongs don’t make it right? Guess not! Since we’ve let selfishness get in the way & ignorance to sneeze the day. — Ray Laccetti

ANAL-RETENTIVE (Pea-Brains & Fecal-Matters) There’s obvious precautions For a ditsy-twerk’s ‘bottoming’   Cleanliness is the foremost-thing Fore & aft, as a sailor might put-it Don’t put that ****** away, just yet When the Fleets in & the play’s the thing, be smart & cautionary & clean May end-up with a nasty sphincter Where anyone would rather-not like to sit upon, either, ever, & never An oz. of precaution is worth a lb. of cure & the cure might-be a worst disaster than ever it’s antidote — Ray Laccetti

MY LEARNED-FRIEND Many colors in the stars; a beautiful canvas it makes. Created by the ultimate artist, whom I strive to duplicate. An artist in my own right, I often speak with him. Gathered-all I could from him, my learned-friend from afar. I could never devise without him, my route from start to finish. I haven’t a clue as to why if my head & heart weren’t in it. I’ll make no foolish-attempts to square-this, it would all be in vain. Don’t ask more about it. I’ll never know for sure. Except to say, he might love me somewhat, for reasons I couldn’t supply. Might as well try to decipher his star-scapes, how he did them, & why. — Ray Laccetti
