Love is like a rose.
Just as quickly as it blossoms,
It dies.
The tiny town's talented tailor
swiftly sews silken suits,
in his shop he plays the Wailers,
Bob Marley fills his boots.
Beside his shop
sits Susie's Sushie,
she serves him lunch
every Tuesday.
He leaves a tip because
she treats him well,
He's got a crush and
she can tell.
After lunch
it's back to work,
measuring here
and stitching there,
everthing is done
just savoirfaire.
All the town folk
say he is the master.
He smiles at this
and works all the faster.
Then on the corner
the clock strikes five,
with the last suit hung
he says enough of this jive.
He shuts the light
and locks the door.
Nine bells tomorrow
and he'll be back for more.
Some thing light with the intent to make a smile.
I'm sorry
I don't mean
To hurt you
If I feel like something
Would hurt you
I try to stay away
From doing it
But I did something
I did not mean to
Hurt you

You don't have to say
Anything
I will leave you be
You don't have
To worry about me

Good bye
I'm sorry
And see ya later
I watch from the front seat
as you and your prom date
enter the building to the dance inside

My, you are growing up
My little brother
off to junior prom
My , where have the years gone?

I still remember the little brother
who use to follow me around,
with a stuffed rabbit in one hand
and a goofy grin on his face.

The little brother
with the sqeaky
adolesont voice

I Still remember him
But when the hell
did this little boy grow up to be
this amazing Man that stands in front of me?

****, it makes me cry because,
My little brother
isnt so little
anymore
To my brother Jeremy.
No single thing in
existence scares me more than
living a cliché.

Do you ever think of the future?
Do you often dream of the past?
Do you ever think of leaving me?
Do you think of us, and things yet to pass?

What goes through that head of yours?
What thoughts drive you through the day?
I bet your mind isn't always running
All along with illogical things, far away.

What do you think about me really?
What's your first thought of the day?
What concerns keeps you up at night?
What worries pester you, and how can I take them away?

What do you think about the world?
What about other ones?
How do you feel about time travel?
How far do you think our universe runs?

How do you wish to spend life?
What have you done with it so far?
Do you dream of running away from here?
Can I come with you, can we live amongst stars?

The power of a question
Truly lies in how you ask it.
So be careful about things you want to know
And more so about what you admit.
I know, I have too many questions,
I'm too curious for my own good.
Tis a result of my affections,
I simply want you understood.
I dress for comfort not for speed these days
And believe me I dress for comfort a lot
Forget the hassle of even tying a lace
When I slip into a cool pair of Crocs

I'm blessed to live near a Crocs store
And you know I can't help but go hog wild
Walls and walls of Crocs from ceiling to floor
In every imaginable color and style

When I dress for the night to show off my stuff
The smell of plastic permeates the air
It's like a drug, this shoe in which I am in love
I'll shout in the air! My love affair! I do not care!

You see I have my casual Crocs
As well as my Sunday go to meeting pair
They make me wish it was Sunday
more often than not
Cause when I wear them I'm in heaven
and feel I'm walking on air

On normal days when I mow yards for a living
I put on my Manly Work Crocs
When Winter is here and the cold comes a-licking
Crocs look stunning with knee high socks

So you see I have all of my bases covered
You've gotta love it, like it or not
Of course I walk on one side of the street,
my family the other
Cause I like to jump up and down, turn around,
skip and bounce whenever I am wearing my Crocs
