Just Ask Fred
David Ehrgott Nov 2014
6ix million guns sold in
7eventeen days
Another movie cutter
Murdered today

Who wisht this bloodshed
on the children of sandy?
Need a gun?
Your neighbor has one handy
David Ehrgott Nov 2014
One Gun
One Mum

One Gun
One Mum

One Gun, One Mum
One Gun, One Mum

poor sandy so tattered
worse than any ocean storm could batter

one mum with a gun
taught her only son to **** her

"**** 'em all, let's have some fun."
said one mum with a gun

One gum
One mum
One son

GROWL!
David Ehrgott Nov 2014
The ram on the edge
of the mountain watches the fall
in Colorado.

Brown leaves clog the spring
water in the vale below,
winter beckoning.

He charges then kicks
me in the chins as I fall
he growls at me.  GROWL!

As I arise fast
enough to scurry off of
his territory.

I leave nature where
it out to be, by itself
where nature belongs.

Big Money Trouble
David Ehrgott Nov 2014
I'm a gypsy mother and I got no home tonight
A red nekked gunner and I'm lookin' for fun tonight
Things have got to be better than this
Come on little lady/young miss
We'll get on the stars and ride them until dawn

Well I told you last night
I ran into Dorothy Le May
Whose real name [meunter] Baby, I can't say
There's big money/trouble in this
But, I gotta have my say before I split
and
Hope that someday they don't crawl up to my door again

Well they all had a plan take the money man's money and leave him
And some got caught and others are gonna be leaving
Because the wolves of the wild ride tonight
and they're gonna stick around till daylight
They'll claw and fight through the night
Until everything is even
Then you will be believing

The Tenant
David Ehrgott Oct 2014
There is a tenant
that lives in my building
who pays no rent

This time of year
he spends his time
rolling his nuts into storage
behind the brown wood paneling
at the head of my bed

He scurries around his
furry little self, day and night
to ensure that
I get no rest

I asked the landlord
if this tenant pays rent
"How much do you get from him" I asked
"Can't get a nut out of him" the reply

"So why don't you evict him"
"Don't be stupid, I can't evict him"
"Why not?"
"Because you can't take a squirrel to court"

About a half an hour later
the landlord knocks on my door
Shows me a handful of acorns
then demands

"GET OUT"

I think HE's nuts

THAT Thing
David Ehrgott Oct 2014
Love is the only thing
Love is

Love is all that matters
one thing

The one love that is
is Love

Love is one thing
Love is

The only one thing there is
Is Love

Pot Luck
David Ehrgott Oct 2014
A leaf is dried
then sold
for the sole
purpose of burning

People burn their cash
on it
everybody gets burned
when the feds burn it

A lot of drunks
sit in a bar all
burnt up about it

but, that's just drunk talk

Whisper Songs of Love
David Ehrgott Oct 2014
I'm a silly little love song
can I snuggle up to you
I'm sitting all alone here
so lonesome just like you

Can you try to hear me
and here I will hear you
and we can both sing silly ditties
that help take away our blues

Like The Egg
David Ehrgott Oct 2014
Like the egg
Some of us get

HARD BOILED

Timing
really is
important
at least
some of the time
and I think none of us
would like to wind up
like that

Cracked
in a *** of steam

Companion
David Ehrgott Oct 2014
a man needs a goat
every man deserves a woman
every man should have a woman
but a man needs a goat
if a man has a wife
he still needs a goat

a goat gets ya milk
a goat can getcha food
a goat can make a coat
and keep you warm
a man needs a coat
every man should have a goat
even if every man was married
every man would still need a goat
a man needs a goat

a man needs a goat
you can talk to a goat
and he will listen but
won't give you backtalk
a man needs a goat

if you're stuck on a mountain
a goat can find the way back
maybe
a man needs a goat

you don't have to feed a goat
a goat can feed itself
goats eat grass
if you own a goat
you won't have to buy a lawn mower
your goat will take care of that

goats do not climb trees
if you own a goat
you will never have to call the fire dept.
to tell them that
your goat is stuck up a tree
goats don't climb trees
so that will never happen

a goat can make milk
and with its milk
you can make
all kinds of cheeses
like goat cheese
and fresh mozzarella
there is nothing
like fresh goat cheese
and fresh goat cheeses
without a goat
you just can't make any goat cheese
nor
have any goat milk for your oats
a man needs a goat

you can't step on a goats back
you will break it
please use a ladder or
step-stool instead
do not step on a goats back

you can compare your goatee
to a goats beard
they grow'em too
a man needs a goat

goats make good company
you can talk to a goat and he will listen
but won't talk back
he's a good goat
a man needs a goat

a man needs a goat
a man needs a wife
but if a man has a wife
he's still gonna need a goat

a man needs a goat

Love You
David Ehrgott Oct 2014
I always wanted you
I always wanted to
have you
Then one day
I didn't have you

I always loved you
I always will
love you
Even now I still
love you

You used to act
so, I acted too
I love you

And I remember dancing
I wish I could dance with you
always
I wish I had you

You used to sing
You sang love
I sang for you

I love you, I do
Love you

A Bird
David Ehrgott Oct 2014
A bird at port authority
has no wings
he just sits there
whimpering
because he has no wings

He can not fly
so he hops
for his food
and he dances a soft shoe
for his tips

A disabled american
picks him up
I will be your wings
says the vet
but, we can not fly

He hides the bird
in his coat
as he pays the fare
to go through the tunnel
into jersey

In ridgewood, rutherford,
passaic, and paterson
and other train/bus stations
the bird dances for vets of one nation
but, only one vet gets drunk on that

Whistles
David Ehrgott Oct 2014
A bird whistles at my window
pretty song
A train whistles after midnight
rude awakening
A dog whistles to attract birds
then eats them
A man whistles alongside the tracks
a railroad tune
Sung years ago
Perhaps in Hackensack
Perhaps

The Last Time
David Ehrgott Oct 2014
She doesn't like musicians
Calls herself the Josephine
Cut through to her smile
and you will see how she is, mean
A threat to those in A.C.
Playing ***** with machine
Some airhead playing samurai
in only a bikini

She doesn't like musicians
"You know what I think of them?" she asks
I just keep myself tight
as I try to forget the past
Then, she winks at me as to raise her chair
and I am mesmerized by blondness
Blinding me, her hair
and she takes me down and slays me
as I lie here

She doesn't like musicians
Football' swhere it's at
"I think I'll love my brother" she says
But, I don't tip for coffee and chat
and we both just leave it at that
Then, I think that this it it
The last time
and I think that she got in the last laugh
And I know she had the first

I am a Poet

I am a poet
Like the rest of the world
I write of living, loving, and dying
I am  a poet

The One
David Ehrgott Oct 2014
I found the note that played back your heart
Posing and pouting to tease me
Exhaling symphonies to attract your scent
Our scent, the one that only love can build

— The End —
