It's just me, it's just me come and sit on my knee!
I'll tell you a story of how the wind blows, and where all the bad kids go.
The boogie man ate em', he snatched them up by the toes, spanked them on the bottom, and gobbled the boogers from their nose!
Oh YES, the boogie mans got em' oh mommy and daddy they know, it’s off to the boogie man all the bad kids go!

These are my bruises
I give unto you
They serve a purpose
so black and so blue
these are my bruises
I gave them to keep
This one is for the moments of weak
This one for the months we did not sleep
The lack of trust
I could not see
These are my bruises
You stayed with me
That is a bruise I will gladly keep
A constant reminder of your love for me

My name is a lie
Rising from the dirt
,surprisingly enough,
     leaves Stains
which, to be truthful,
     are the most
Stain-like stains there are.
     Just a Smudge
        ,a residue,
is left, Disguised
as a nasty faded
          Bruise
which never quite
     disappears
from Line of SIght.
Little Reminders of a time
      when you slept
with Critters of Night
           at home
,yet uncomfortable,
       all the same

Eyes closed as I lay,
I wish you were here to stay
yet fear envelopes my aching chest
and I worry that I'll never
rest beside you.
So I lie awake and count the breaths I take,
each one feeling wasted as
the only piece of you that lingers
is your
absence.

I have never been 40
it's coming soon
it's just around the corner
The big 4-0 looms
I have Never been 40
I haven't got a clue
Will my hair turn grey
How much will I lose?
I have never been 40
What do I do
I've heard all the horror stories
I don't want to face the truth
I'm turning 40  
Goodbye to my youth
Can some one please help me
I'm turning 4-0 and singing the blues
Will I lose my teeth
Have to gum my food
Wear knee high socks?
Watch the news
I'm turning 40
My life is through
What is next
Nothing to look forward to
It's all downhill
Oh *******
*******
What to do
I'm turning 4-0
Yeah my life is through

Keeping up appearances,
Shutting the dark vibe down.
Keeping up appearances,
Putting on a crown.
Keeping up appearances,
Make a smile out of a frown.

Keeping up appearances,
But quietly you drown.
M&Ms; and 7up
Hershey's bar
Reese's Peanut Butter Cup
Snickers and a drink of Mountain Dew
There are three flavors of Charleston Chew
Twix; Twin Bing
Salted Nut Roll is king
I really could eat them after / with anything
Breakfast, lunch, dinner and  in between
I bought me a candy bar
It was made with carmel nougat and cream
I'm gonna eat it
Oh yeah, my tummy will scream
My little obsession
It's a bit obscene
There is no tummy ache that could come between
SUGAR!!!
And this chocolate fiend
