Roast Pork and mashed potatoes
with pork gravy on both,
biscuits and gravy,
chicken and noodles,
beef and noodles,
spaghetti,
roast turkey and mashed potatoes
with turkey gravy on both,
BBQ chicken,
polish sausage
filling tasty
and that'll put hair
on your chest.
good grub,
sure a little fattening
but it'll make you tuff.
smother it with
onions
and watch disappear those bunions
I don't know
whether it's down home
but I'll stop you
from wanting to roam.

Tinkers to Eurs to change-the
ol Chicago Cubs double play trio,
the triple play in rowing
Bill Wanbengiss,
Babe Ruth calling his hometown shot
in Wrigley Field
Frankie Frisch, Pepper Martin,
and Pucky Medwick and the old "St, Louis
Cardinals.
Marvey Wills and Lou Brock stealing
Bases
Roger Maris hitting his sixth-first
home run to the great field in sean lanker
stadium caught by a young Italian
fellow by the name of Armen De
Saiuo,
Lou Gearing when he said "I
consider myself the luckiest
man in the face of the earth."
Jackie Robinson's debut,
Willie May's sensational back
to the plate catch in a world series
Don Larson's preferred game in a
World Series
the OK moment I come to mind
bit I'm sure we base back fans
could be reminded of many more.

Redundancy abounds
there's shouts about a mound,
and what it's like
down here on the ground
and having kids
in upward bound,
not here.
not there
but in my mind
when I'm looking for a sign
of the times.

I gain all of a sudden,
2-3-4 pounds.
It makes me sgudder.
I hate the feeling of being bloated
that companies the weight gain
the dieticians wants me at 195.
I feel so frustrated: like owning
an Archaic De Soto
I feel next I'll pull up lamf
but 20 pounds differential-
I'm relieved it's just that
and in spite of shrinking in height
I don't consider myself fat.
Somehow I feel I'll get some
treatment that's preferential-
for not getting carried away booloo
too

Sometimes tunes come to me.
It fills me with glee
I don't know how to write
the noter
I just teach myself to sing them by rote
song titles
lines from songs
swim around in my head
leading me to go to the music urut
of mine
to see if I'll come kup
with an original idea
not something I just bet
would ring a bell
if my quote and title
was be thut.

We'll hear about this
With the power of the fist
Some of the HIC Troubadours
white, carry the concept
of right on
too far.
Make it to Wade
Through a bunch of crap
and try to act like a card
not a bard.
If some of the simps
impersonating
Vietnam vets
would stop acting out,
I wouldn't feel like
I was along with myself
another boxing bout.
Let there be light
LBJ practically said-
it turned out he was right
about the left
as in a cert
they were too restrained about
bombing Handi and
halphone harbors
don't be hesitant
about arbors.
