In The Dark
David Ehrgott Nov 2015
I can not sleep
And I want to eat
My heart keeps beating
And I still keep working at
Defeating my dues
To make a new
World in order to
Survive all my nightmares
In the dark
In the dark you screamed
In the dark
In the dark
I thought that you would never leave
You were mean in the dark
And I screamed in the dark

It's Cold Out There
David Ehrgott Nov 2015
Open the ice-box take out some ice cream
We're going to play some ice hockey
And when all the fighting's done
Ice packs are what we will need
The ice cap has no lice, mice, rice
Heard Bo Bice's vice was dice
The ice age was a time not nice
Ice breaker or an ice-boat
They both let ships move forward
The ice that's in the ice-house
has icicles that formed
The baker's work is now complete
Icee or Italian ices
The icing's on the cake.  Too sweet?

I'm Sorry
David Ehrgott Nov 2015
I'm sorry to everyone
Who reads of my smithings
Poetry should not
Be grotesque or be gritty
  
It should be filled with love
And of words that are pretty
And laughter or other
Kind words or the silly
  
But never should anyone
Read of my hurt
The pain and the suffering
Or of my bleeding shirt
  
I'm sorry but I
Still have to tell you the truth
For hiding it
Just makes it uglier too
  
The butterflies try
To make it go away
But ugly is ugly
I'm sorry today

The Turtle And The Snail
David Ehrgott Nov 2015
I fell in love
with a ghost/witch/mermaid
The prettiest girl in the world
In any century
Atlantic City
Nineteen Eighty-five
  
I'm not sure who to point
or blame for the how or what
that led to change
the level of my dimension
Don't know why
  
But if I ever get to her again
and if it doesn't lead to sin
Not sure if I'd grab
the bargain or the Bible
  
I gave her just one kiss
to dare and tried my best
to not to stare
at all her hard shell/hard sell
Custom Homemade Ocean Jewelry
  
Tried so hard to hide my fear
of dying could not take the cold
hard facts of life's blatant destiny
Desire hurt my soul
  
I had to come back here
Again just to see your face
I bet that someday we will
Finally be friends or so much
More than that I don't pretend
I warn you Sam my
One and only friend
  
And if you knew my sister sue
She stunk
The world then had her due
I may
Not never
Know what door she would have choosed
  
And if you stick around
choo-choo
You'll hear a song/can sing along
about some trains
that I pretend I knew
  
The turtle and the snail
They ride on tender ground
I miss you girl
I'm tying this old country
Song to you
  
I was way to young to
let my burning ash exist
Had much more yearning
to do learning
what was asked, I just forgot
Don't know if I have that
much more to counter
  
No lady
bug would ever sing
about my blues
I have no ring
to give I even lost my broken teeth
  
I lived a week
Four Million years
or somewhere in between that
Dear you can
not preposition end a sentence  
  
And if you know that I'm a tease
won't be surprised
But I won't leave you
Hang around
I'm sure there's plenty more
  
Well look at that I'm tired flat
I wrote two pages how 'bout that
I guess it makes no sense to further carry
On again I could just turn
  
the page
hey now, see that
I got more space to write
more facts about my life
and why I am so crazy
  
Her fins they flapped I followed
Her a million laps
from old man-
hattan lower end
I mixed it up my friend
No really
Hope there is no more confusion
  
I don't no life
I just exist
I tell no lie
I swear sweet miss
So don't you try
to get me into trouble
  
The turtle and the snail
will ride the earth once more
go where you go
I've been there
So I'm ducking in again
  
I think I'll have a beer
This ends I'm sure
it's not one of my gems
But what more do I need to say or do
Then sit here and songwrite again
or write haikus that never end
on this lazy Sunday afternoon
  
The turtle and the snail
will ride the earth once more
After we're gone
They'll still be here
Go bang a gong
They're two slow pokes
One's soft
One's hard
You figure out which
One's made just for you
  
An oyster clam or
Lady bug would get eat up or  
Just get stuck
No more eating that much
Pasta without salad
  
And now it's time to
Get on board
Hey you Choo-Choo
Four-Fifty-Four
I'm gettin' out of here
Hear what I promised
  
I don't know but I've been told
The Redding Railroad dropped its load
Go take the B&O; to someplace new
'Cause California outgrew you
With double headed 2-82s
Canadian Pacific calling you
No B&M;?
Rutland will do
with RS3 and 2-8-2
to Lake Champlain the 201 with you
  
Delaware & Hudson call
'ol Henry Stewart
from Whitehall
he's steering Alcors3; the engineer
But don't look here
'Cause I'm not there
That bobby fooled you/disappeared
and lookit
where'd they go?
that's all the words!

Moving Violation (explicit)
David Ehrgott Nov 2015
On 11/16/15 at 4:45 p.m. near 338a Main St., a Hackensack Police Dept. patrolman in car #107 slowed his vehicle down to text on his computer
which he had positioned on the passenger side of the vehicle.  While
using his right hand to use the computer his left hand was on the window slot of the driver's side door.  Keep in mind now that no hands were on the steering wheel and the patrol car was still in motion.  When I mentioned to the driver "no texting while driving officer."  He then turned to face me and stated "*******."  Then he drove away.  This was the most unprofessional act of an uniformed officer that I have ever witnessed Here

in hackensack.
This Really Happened.  Not a made up story.

On top it says aria
But, it's no electric
needed
Eleven pegs for just six strings
Its one half feels deserted

It's old and tarnished
Nicked and dinged
Worn frets
No shine
No gleam

But, through the years
has gleaned all that
I felt
The laughs
The tears
Truths, lies, and fears

My Music Box
It has a name
a solo in its own
Right to stand
So tall and strong
Behold!
It looks so

Watching Barbie
David Ehrgott Nov 2015
Barbie's undercover of the book that never quits
Manipulative and menacing but, she never spits
An evil being, a beauty queen, more than some t.v. b*tch
I wish I had a rheostat, I'd lower/light her switch

Barbie's chasing boys again, her husband doesn't care
She's riding barefoot on the back of a costar or a queer
She tilts her head/hair back and forth, pretends she doesn't care
It's that silly kind of carefree movement; majic's in the air

And I'm

Watching Barbie in the afternoon
I've not much more to do
She's so much more than a piece of meat
Barbie, so petite
Well wouldn't it be great to meet,
to see her face to face
Forty years fly bye too fast but,
That's the Barbie pace

She knows her children have a mind thew grew all by their own
They have to learn from their mistakes even when they've grown
She wants to help her daughter out by jumping in a lake
But this ain't mike, tom, chris, or jake; this could be a mistake

Barbie's in a bubble bath, she's naked as a jaybird
With happy smile, ear to ear, she relaxes and spreads cheer
More bubbles flow from a bottle emptied quickly
I only can imagine underneath her skin now prickly

Watching Barbie in the afternoon
Barbie, she's so sweet
So much more than just a piece of meat
Barbie, so petite
Well, wouldn't it be great to meet
to see her face to face, Barbie
Share!

Like a fine uncorked wine
A delicacy in a sea of eggs
Her mellifluous scent concealed until she bursts

You know how I say those things when I am stressed
Please let me present my case

Turn around and get back here into my life

So close, a fantasy that never ends
Can't live without you girl nor care t' pretend
Is that her turning 'round, gonna park in my driveway?

We fire up our internet
with a fortune we've already spent
I tell ya' fella, I've got to yella
I'm head up to here in my debt

We fire up our own internet
with what already should be for free
Bee's make a honey.  Hey, hey that's funny
But not funny, not once, not one time to me

If there was a way I could make some more pay
I would never think to try and sell you
I would think twice before tossing the dice
Never would touch a warm body untrue

OOPS.  HERE, IT'S COMING
OOPS.  YES, IT'S COMING
Hear it?  Here it is, hear it?
Hear it?  Because here it is!
Here it is:
WHY FEE THE WIFEY?
I don't know why
Seems you could catch an infectious disease
or just die off from all the vee dee

WHY FEE THE WIFEY?
I don't know why
I thought you wanted the internet
to get it, to get it for free

OOPS!  can't say it right
OOPS!  there I've done it again

WHY FEE THE WIFEY?
Don't tease the wife
And please remember, be courteous please
Don't try to upset my wife

WHY FEE THE WIFEY?
I don't know why
This is a song about internet
There's something that I can't say right

WHY FEE THE WIFEY?
I don't know why
It's really not part of religious belief
I tell ya' I don't want no part

OOPS!  Here it's coming
OOPS!  Yes, it's coming
Hear it is

WHY FEE THE WIFEY
I don't know why
Sorry I got lost, ran off the track
And got trapped in ol' Hackensack

WHY FEE THE WIFEY?
I don't know why
This isn't the song that I started to write
Don't want those ideas for my wife

WHY FEE THE WIFEY?
Don't know, but I'll try
And if she pays it, that'll be great
I'll get all my free internet

WHY FEE THE WIFEY
I don't know why
That's right I remember, free internet
That is why I've got to try

AND SAY WE FEE
NO, NO NOT WE FEE
Never say wee fee and never say die
So say only why, say why-fie

WHY FIGHT THE WEE FEE
Why fight the wife
I think I can say it
Say it when high
I've got it, I said it
One last more why-fie

WHY FEE THE WHY-FIE
I'll ask my wife
No, don't you ever, ever ask wife
Just only ask for WI-FI

WI-FI THE WI-FI
OH MY OH MY
I hope you enjoyed it
Because you're my enjoyment
My funny, bunny valentine
There now.  I think that I have said it right

Deadhead Barbie
David Ehrgott Nov 2015
Deadhead Barbie's hypin' the tour
Telling all her friends about the tickets she scored
Hey six-up yo' gather near the doors
We're going to wear the tie-die t-shirts one more time
  
Dee Dra's grandpa's cooking up some homemade wine
It's really going to kick it in us one more time
The lights, the music, ambience together entwined
And Deadhead Barbie twirling 'round as if she's blind but, she's not blind
  
Electric skull head, steal your face, I like your smile
Nothin' left to do here; listen once in a while
I can't believe that all these years they're still in style
All that dancing, good for lovin'n, sweating miles
  
And Deadhead Barbie's blood is flowing fast
She grabbed a piece of something that was built to last  
Maybe not forever, but one of life's best blasts
A bigger bang might break the earth into two halves
  
And Deadhead Barbie's drinking Dee Dra's wine
There's a party in the parking lot.  Yeah,  Dee Dra's fine.
Dancing girls with dancing bears a one FINE time
Deadhead Barbie's had her pants pulled in again

All Over Again
David Ehrgott Nov 2015
Sometimes I act like 2 years old all over again
I sit in sh*t and whine all day
Nothing much constructive to say
The devil's advocate they say I A
I don't know what would you say
Just to make my statement stay
And then to have it all retold all over again
  
Sometimes I feel like 4 years old all over again
There are things I still want to explore
But not like when I'm 3 years old
When I fit the bobby pin in the electric floor
Everything went black and white
It put me in a dimension that was spooky
And met my idol/maker all over again
  
Sometimes I think I'm 15 years all over again
And pack my comb
wear my cowboy shirt
pull my jeans way down
over my boots that hurt
And think I've got a life
instead of just existing lies
that she dreams up about me still all over again
  
All over again
I think she'd still love me
All over again
But, next time not so obsessive
All over again
I don't need that much protection
All over again
When I have such supple affection
  
Sometimes I'm 29 years old all over again
And can't get drunk enough
to relieve the pain that's in my head
I'm not suggesting you drink, no jesting
There's better thinks for a man to ingest
fill your mind with know how
Escape the ignorant
that rant and rave and roar at me
All over again
  
Sometimes I'm 36 I wish all over again
With dreams of Jeannie far behind
and Charlies Angels jet lagged high
I'm using words now just to rhyme
The girl that Lucy step-child right
Is in my mind still all the time
I never had the nerve to die
And here I am not 55 and still
Wishing I could live my life all over again

Duncan And Blake
David Ehrgott Oct 2015
This is the story of the cola-nut
The cola-nut and the *****-nut
One day those nuts, they decided to race
To see which one could take first place
  
The cola-nut he took off first
A whole lot of edgy and with a quick burst
Now, who would've thought that fellow was cursed
When the poor cola-nut lay dying of thirst
  
The *****-nut, he set out slow
Not really wanting to let himself go
He knew he could win, if he paced himself
So, he sang a song, La diddy dee diddy doe
  
The race continued as the *****-nut ran
Then, took a break to honor his Pan
He rolled up a something delightfully green
And no longer felt the need to be mean
  
Sitting down resting his back on a tree
He whistled at birds while buzzed as a bee
I must travel further to win he agreed
But, first I could use just a little bit sleep
  
Now a gingerly fellow, he walked down the trail
And noticed poor cola there, lying so pale
He offered him water, he offered him fruit
And cola recovered, oh, what a hoot
  
Cola-nut stood up and ran, and he ran
But, the sugar buzz ran out and couldn'ted his can
Hydrated, yet still mighty well pooped
It didn't look good for those in the loop
  
Ol' *****-nut grazing, still way far behind
Didn't have worries; Had plenty of kind
Decided to roll up more of his hay
Then lit it, and puffed it, but no **** today
  
Now *****-nut picked up that old second wind
The further he traveled the more he would grin
So happy to have cola-nut for a friend
Yet, beginning to wonder when this race would end
  
When he found his poor friend lying flat on the ground
From a diabetic coma poor cola had frowned
Here, have some of this ***** said so chagrin
Got him up off his knees, and he raced once again
  
The long winding road to the big finish line
Was just up ahead according to signs
So cola and ***** did finally agree
To finish the race in a tie to a tee
  
Those two crazy nuts, what more could they prove
To each other that both are not really that good
So they skipped along happily and hand in hand
In a soft photo-finish, then lit up the band
  
There isn't a moral to this story told
But, read it while fresh, before it grows mold
It's a little bit different from old woe is me
Alas, here's a story to laugh at, agree?
  
So, sit back and smoke 'em but, not nicotine
And don't let the bubbles go where you would sneeze
Don't like it?  Make up your own make believe
I'm tired and going to bed now to dream
  
La ditty da da, dee ditty dee
No nicotine and no woe is me

1 Pathetic Joke
David Ehrgott Oct 2015
Yes, it sure does look that way
When it takes 35 years
to capture 50 criminals
in a land
that claims to be FREE

FREE?
Free of what?
Not criminals

There are 50 crime
families on Garibaldi
Avenue in Lodi, New Jersey alone

Please officer

Oh, that's right

One of those crime families
is not like the other
One of those crime families
Rules the cops
and pretends to rule
everyone else

With bullying
And tormenting
And torturing
And acts in violation
of the Geneva Convention

Oh, but we are not at war with crime

Hey it's a free country
You want to practice crime

People have a right to be
Criminal

It's a free country

Okay

But, why can't it be
A crime family free
Country

Is ******, arson, strong arm assaults, blackmail, grand theft, etc... so glamorous
that a (free?) country
needs them

or even needs to
glorify them in
Movies and Television

Do we need
criminally run Hospitals
criminally controlled courthouses
criminally managed police departments?

I've spoken with
several government
Leaders on this matter
and they all agree
that they will promise
to look into this
as soon as they
can figure out
the economy

I walked down Garibaldi
Ave in Lodi the other
day
The crime families there
are doing quite well

But

They ain't talkin'

Settle This Debt
David Ehrgott Oct 2015
I spent my childhood in the nineteen sixties
Watching Walter CRONKITE
Warning Adults to
not let their children watch tonight's graphic
footage of the Vietnam War

It was quite disturbing
To this day
I can not erase the image
of that man on his knees
being shot in the head
execution style
in the street

And the other footage
of the reporters
on the front lines

Before man walked on the moon
Supposedly

Before I was ten

There should be a class action lawsuit for
EVERYONE Who was shown that footage
No one should have had to see that

But ezra pound said it best
War is made to create debt

Well, Let's take legal action now
to settle that debt

But, who do you sue?
Not Walter.  He tried to warn us.
The media?
The country?
The idiot who started the whole thing?
The t. v. station or network?
Who do you sue?

Is it a debt that could ever be' settled?

How do you correct the wrong?
How do you settle this debt?

For if there were no debt
There would be no banks

Why would one have to borrow
If he didn't owe

America, stockpile your banks
You owe everyone in this country
Fifty years and over
PLUS INTEREST

For causing undue stress
to so many

A Parasite Needs To Feed
David Ehrgott Oct 2015
Well, it happened
I shouldn't have posted that' poem
NOT FROM A HAILSTORM
I forgot her daughter stalks my poetry-
like a myspace ******

At this time I must confess
I have no real talent
I just jot down words from memory
It's really not a skill

So my sister karen flies up from florida
She probably has money left over from
robbing me back in 2000
and in the seventies
and in the eighties
and in the nineties

It wasn't good enough for her to smash
My two year old brain in
with her heavy wood doll in 1960

or grabbing my ears and smashing
the back of my skull until
the pain turned to numbness from '65 to '70

or giving her girlfriend Laura the keys
to our house in maywood so that Laura could
steal whatever she wanted

It wasn't good enough
that her daughters would steal
Whatever they wanted
Whenever they wanted

So, I had one request
STOP VISITING ME
LEAVE ME ALONE
and they won't even grant me that' dying wish

But, a parasite needs to feed
off the unsuspecting
or they will die

Well, there is no more forgiveness
left
for any of them

So she tricks the library
into thinking she wants to surprise me
Takes a burning zippo
and scorches the back of my neck with it
I was quite surprised

Just think
If I never let her get away
with robbing me all those years
she could not have been able
to afford her act of vengeance

My sister karen knows how to cause neck pain

To sing the national anthem

It was early 21st century and in the Saddle River County Park in Saddle Brook, the good one, not the one on the other side.  But, the one where Officer Reycuk lets the postal employees from the Paterson Distribution Center bone-up for lunch.  There, was a duck and he would waddle up to the park-goers (people) and he would harass and berate them.  I was sitting on the bench near the parking lot, (the one that faces the restrooms) and I had my feet turned in and pressed together. I must have spent an hour or more observing this duck as he made sure that everyone in the entire park got a piece of his lip.  Anyway, as he was tiring-out he must have mistaken my feet for a nest and he waddled his way on top of them.  Making himself comfortable and tucking his head under his wing to take a nap.  I felt so for this little lad that I made sure not to move my feet to disturb him.  As passerbys made comments and chuckled.  I imagined just what of this duck could be dreaming.  A simpler time perhaps.  When he had no stress.  No worries.  No responsibilities.  No need to yell at the humans who come into his place of abode and destroy it.  With their littering and smoking and loud rudeness.  Or maybe he was dreaming about some swan he's had his eye on, or flying, or going for a swim.  Then, without warning, I pulled my feet abruptly apart and chided him vociferously "YOU DUMB DUCK!  PEOPLE are dreamers NOT DUCKS!  He just shook his head, then waddled away mumbling to himself incoherently.

A New Girl To Fly
David Ehrgott Oct 2015
There is a  man at his typewriter
with tobacco product in his mouth
and between his fingers I don't
Know who taught him that plan

He wants to write the next Superman
But, Luther Corp. won't let him
Tess Mercer is at the helm
I'm sorry I wrote down those words

Now there is nothing left but trouble
So that Clark can serve a purpose
For what else would he be if not for his adversaries

We teach our children vigilance
Then wonder why they use it
This push and shoving has to stop
Before we all misuse it

Now he wants to write a love story
About the love that was served
During all those secret wars he shared

When all the love was still there
Before Invasion
And all the feelings that were there

And he holds his enemy in his arms
And embraces her, Compromises and Shares
Looks like a new girl to fly in the air
               a new girl to fly in the air

2.   The mall was closed so Snapple and Crack hopped on Pop and shopped at Macy's.
3.   According to his doctor, King Kong had a fear of paper airplanes.
4.   Santa Monica fell into the ocean because Santa weighed too much.
5.   Crackle entered rehab, they finally got him the help he needed.
6.   As darkness fell over eastern Europe the planes were all grounded.
7.   It makes you think that the president of Poland had ties to the pope.
8.   Or maybe think that the president of Poland and the pope were close.
9.   Because God is making it difficult for anyone to fly there.
10.  You just have to wonder sometimes about the timing of everything.

Las Vegas is a suckhole
it will take away everything you have

your money
your house
your wife
your horse
your mind
everything

People living in the 1940's realized this
and many avoided temptation

But, as the years passed
the urge to purge grew
and [politicians] saw a way for their'
states to make money [by taxing casinos]
and legislation was soon passed
For more casinos

Now there are more poor people being
made in the U.S.A.
than ever before

Detroit laid off everyone yesterday
as businesses by businesses Closed

But, you can still go to the game

or the casino

Kissing In The Kremlin

Bi polar bear bouncing up and down
on a summer high one year
Got to walk the wall

in China before I wore those shirts
an excuse to use/not to wear
When I was getting perks

And reminding me to stay in line
how lucky that it is to get all of this
for nothing more than just a Kremlin kiss

Kathy's kissing in the Kremlin
Chatting after she had tea
And we're hiding from the KGB
Kathy's kissing in the Kremlin

And I went up to Alaska, the final frontier
Found a tent to defrost in Antarctica
Sunk to the bottom of the ocean floor
Where it is all lit up
and I rode the Himalayan Sky
Sold the pictures to the book with yellow trim
and

Kathy's kissing in the Kremlin
Flying there again.  Kathy's kissing in the Kremlin
Kissing in the Kremlin

The Failure Of The Trolley
David Ehrgott Oct 2015
There used to be a trolley
that ran from Maywood to Hoboken
They tore it down
circa 20th century year 71

It only cost a dime
unless you got off to go on
another line

Most of the time it went very slow
and rocked back and forth

At other times it would move very fast
at which time one would have to hold
onto his hat or lose it

A hat cost about two dollars
A good hat could run five bucks or more

For a ten cent ride
It really wasn't worth the risk
of losing your hat

When you could take the bus for a quarter

Make Believe
David Ehrgott Oct 2015
I heard you made a story
just the other day
to show the world a wind of news
that blows in everyday

You're always over trying
When it's your turn to behave
at least you still stuck with it
Got plenty now to save

I once believed your story
and everything you said
Sometimes I wish I had listened
to someone else instead

Do you believe in make believe
or are you immune to it
Sometimes I like to just pretend
Hello there, have we met

But that was many years ago
Before you crapped on it
My life or what it really is
a simple dull existence

You added very interestingly
excitement and much stress
added pain and misery
to a life already bent

But your story is so very old
The jealous lovers end
If I can't have him no one can
so devious your plan

Your arms (are) like a Cephelopod
Devitalize my wit
I'm sure the world can figure out
Who is the devil-fish

Reality was my start plan
Yours was just garbage
Why did you choose to bother me
I had no life to begin with

I once believed in make believe
I thought we could be friends
That was many years ago
Before my life did end

But don't give up the hope my friend
She can't destroy all' men
Some even know they're lucky gents
Avoiding her playpen

I like to make up make believe
some thing to believe in
Don't worry it won't hurt your ears
or ruin you again

I want to live in make believe
and start over again
paint all the colors nice this time
so my life can begin

Do you believe in make believe
Then come on, jump right in
enjoy the fun and happiness
and make believe again
David Ehrgott Oct 2015
Nearly twenty years ago
I can't believe time flies
When all I had upon my mind
Was thoughts of getting high

I never understood my mom
Popping pills at tea
or How my grandpa polished
off a case a day, no, three

Not wanting to become insane
or Die diseased so early
I decided at a legal age
To smoke the ****, for surely

of All the places in the states
Just one said do it legally
I packed my bags and set out for
Mendocino County

I took my time, such a long ride
on 80 from New Jersey
Enjoyed the sights but, flew no kite
Still, made my travels worthy

The California National Guard
and the DEA
Set up a post to check all cars
in/out of the county

It took a couple hours then
For them to inspect me
I must admit here that this greet
Did make me feel uneasy

They made it very clear to me
That I could smoke' the ****
Just don't try to take it out
of Mendocino County

I said "Okay!"  They said "Drive Safe"
I buckled ; drove away
I drove along the two-lane road
Admittedly Amazed

I turned a corner , hit the brakes
There was in front of me
A farmer man, who did tell me
Get out, you have to learn the ****

I abided easily
to learn most all or everything
I could so one day I could be
An expert in Weedology

I spent nearly a week or two
Finding out all that I could
But, I was high and this did lead
to some info misunderstood

I learned cultivation, irrigation
debugging plants by spraying pepper
Planting, pruning, a beginner
But, after time, I did get better

Then one day after a cup
of morning Bhang, I did awake
Then moseyed on to brighter pastures
****** alone, I was quite baked

Would you believe ; I can't believe
A girl I knew from New Jersey
A ***** from Hawthorne she despised me
This feeling was so mutually

After I escaped her grip
And fed her some more bitter lip
I took my bag, it was a lid
and slowly rolled another spliff

I found a house to my amaze
It said "For Rent" read in my haze
I paid the rent/security
Pulled out a blunt, began to blaze

There was no time that I remember
From months of May through to September
That I wasn't high all day
I knew I had to move away

****, (the grass) grown everywhere
Just pick some off, feel better, there
No one left out of the haze
Everybody there did blaze

I got so bored, I was so teased
Stop it!  Stop it!  Stop it, please!
I can't be ****** all' of the time
Oh, shut up and smoke more of this ****

I could not take it anymore
I closed the house and shut the door
All the smoke I once adored
Soon became all such a bore

I packed my bags and said goodbye
To all my stoner friends still high
I headed north to Oregon
To grow tomatoes, seemed like fun

Twenty years now have been spent
Remembering those cronies
Those mendacious merchant mendicants
of Mendocino County

The Leader Wolf
David Ehrgott Oct 2015
The babysitter sat me outside
to mop her kitchen floor
It was at the age of only five
That I would learn much more

The leader of the wolf pack then
not far from where we lived
began a true and lasting friendship
He was my only friend

I don't know how he learnt to speak
my language or knew when
to warn me all about the dangers
coming to me then

He nudge my face with his cold nose
and slobbered it a bit
He knew of every single woe
sometimes would have fit

Told tales of politician's friends
Who'd stab me and again
of Hollywood celebrities
who'd try to cause my end

And other famous wannabes
and lowlife ***** dirt
that dress in fine and fancy suits
but **** then steal your boots

He told me of my evil twin
who sent me to the pen
And took away my hard earned pay
and every dime I stored away

He offered to cut short my life
to avoid all of the pain
and ease me to a resting place
one might call heaven

His plan was shortened by a drunk
Who used Lord's name in vain
Put a bullet in his head
My one and only friend
