Dear Friend

Mao Tse
Sorry you misunderstood
me, I didn't mean
to mislead

Mao Tse
you can be a world leader
by setting an example

Mao Tse
how 'bout cleaning
a ***** planet

Mao Tse
I hear your plea
but, you are heading
in the wrong direction
  

Mao Tse
over here
we have cars
that run on water
  

Mao Tse
they even cost less
then pollution makers
  

Mao Tse
popular mechanics magazine
gave us the plan [schematic]
more than a decade ago
  

Mao Tse
thank you for working
overtime to save the world

Mao Tse
we love your solar panels

Mao Tse
not enough time
to retrain thinking?

Mao Tse
oil men of greed
have destroyed us again

Mao Tse
oil and water don't mix

Mao Tse
you can not die
from spilling
the power of the wind

Mao Tse
did all of your pollution maker manufacturers er,
gas guzzling ISIS supporters
really bounce back
after less than one year

Really? Mao Tse
Really?
I'm sorry you had closed

your ears

I Beat The Mountain
David Ehrgott Aug 2015
This is a song that I call
I beat the mountain
And it ends
with I am dead

I beat the mountain yessir
I beat the mountain
Don't just pretend
that it hurts

I beat the mountain dallas
I beat the mountain
I beat the mountain alice
I beat the mountain
I beat the mountain
I beat the mountain

There's a place in this world
Where you can go to climb to heaven
It's in the Himalayan Mountains
in south, east, central asia

It takes a week to walk to the mountain
And one more week to reach the air
And there is no air at the top
And you freeze your face off there
  
And so I walked to the mountain
And I reached higher ev'ry day
And I breathed in the air
And took pictures of the mountain
  
Now that mountain presents a challenge
Says "Don't come near me if you dare"
For I will slay you on this mountain
I have before ; I will again
  
Uh-Oh the challenge of that mountain
The challenge in the air
The challenge of that mountain
The challenge of that mountain
  
And I climbed the mountain
Yes I did, I climbed the mountain
I climbed the mountain
I climbed the mountain
  
You think the sun, when it hits your head
That you're blinded or you're dead
You think the sun, when it hits your head
It warmed your head but, it didn't
  
But I kept climbing, I kept ahead
Going higher and higher, no more air
But there's more mountain, so there
It's all a joke, just on you, not all of humanity
Most people know better and
Stay away from the mountain
It bites off your head
Takes your fingers and toes
And nose from you and leaves you dead
Takes your brain, makes you delirious
Makes you crazy in the brain, I'm serious
So stay away from the mountain

Stay away from the mountain
Stay Away!  Stay away from the mountain
Stay Away!  Stay away from the mountain
Stay Away!  Stay Away, Far Far Away!

Cause I climbed up that mountain
Yes I did, I climbed that majic mountain
Yes I did, I climbed the mountain
I'm full of dread 'cause I am dead

On Poetical Correctness.
David Ehrgott Aug 2015
You know for centuries politicians have been trying to push their correctness on to everyone.  It's usually the first lady that does this as part of some etiquette program or something.  Etiquette is okay, I guess.  But, when you think about it, the only ones who really NEED to be politically correct SHOULD be the politicians.  Why would anyone who is NOT a politician be required to practice political correctness.  Why would a baker need to be politically correct, or a news anchor.  (Well, maybe a news anchor.)  But, an accountant or a cashier or a bus driver or a police officer.  They would have to be cashierly correct or accountantly correct or policely correct.  Wouldn't they?  Political correctness should only have to apply to politicians.

  As for me, All I really have to be is poetically correct.  Yes, there IS a thing.  You can look it up if you don't believe me.  Ya know, I was thinking about poetry the other day and I remembered poetical correctness and what it was all about.  It's been stated before by many and I'll try to explain it to you, to the best of my memory.

  To be poetically correct one must never use words that are negative or profane.  One must always use soft words that flow easily.  Words that produce warm feelings of sensuality and never words of hatred.  You must be descriptive when you speak of the spotted toad with the red stripe on its head and the shine that bounces off his slime when the sun shines through the tall trees of the forest where the rock he is perched on  sits parallel to a beautiful babbling brook.  Love and nature.  That should be the two things that one should write about.  Love and nature.
And the nature of love.  And one's love for nature. Or the nature of nature and the love of love. But, maybe they're not that much into nature.  Maybe they love the city and its grittiness.  Well, there you go ruininging the grandness of a city with description.  Poetical correctness.  Always think poetically and not politically and that's Poetical Correctness.
FEEL FREE TO ADD TO THIS THING CALLED POETICAL CORRECTNESS AND HAVE A POETIC DAY!

Love To Go
David Ehrgott Aug 2015
There was a love like no other love
There was a love
And there it was
Just that' one love, no other love
No other love can cure this pain of love
There was a love
There was a love
And now a void, a void of love
Inside a vacuum, pain of said void
Seduces me into sadness
Can't see the light that I once had

She gave me love, She gave me love
She gave me love to go
She gave me love, She gave me love
She gave me love to go

Looked into her eyes, to my surprise
Her light, it healed me
Could feel the healing power of her eyes
That healed me
Once had fears;all disappeared
Was the love in the light of her eyes
And now I feel just like the man on the mountain
On the mountain that fell down in New Hampshire
  

She gave me love, the purest love
She gave me love
She gave me love, she gave me love
She gave me love to go
  
She gave me love, she gave me love
She gave me love to go
  

Open the door and take a seat
She'll take your order
She'll write it down
You won't come down
You'll see her shine
On any highway, in any america
See her going
Bagging up love, letting it leave
Leave me


  
She gave me love, she gave me love
She gave me love to go
She gave me love, she gave me love
She gave me love to go


  
She'll give you love, she'll give you love
She'll give you love
She'll give you love, she'll give you love
She'll give you love to go

David Ehrgott Aug 2015
I got a lot of sht in my heart
The doctor says it needs to come out
He said he wants to open me up
Scrape this and that. cut off a valve or two
and replace them with plastic parts
Put in a stent or two to make me feel brand new

I got a lot of sh
t in my heart
I guess it's from all the crap I never let enter my head
Because I did not want to become brain damaged
So somehow it wound up here, in my heart instead
It's easier to replace a heart than a brain
It's a lot less expensive to too

I got a lot of sh*t in my heart
And all I have to blame is you

FRONT PAGE NEWS, CALL ALL THE PRESSES.

  Most Americans by now realize that all sales of gasoline go directly to terrorist.  To quote Obama "Isis is 10 times as powerful as any previous terrorist group."  Yet he had the gall to "loan" GM Corp. millions of dollars for the sole purpose of building more gas guzzlers.  Didn't you know what you were doing Bam?  Betcha got Hal stock from ****, didn'tcha.

  Here in Hackensack, most of the members of the Hackensack Police Department own SUV's so that they can look cool in their support of ISIS.  It is not my desire to make anyone look bad.  I just want to bring awareness to what is happening here.  Most politicians received stock in Haliburton (the largest manufacturer of war equipment in the world)
which **** Cheney worked for, for thirty-five years before he was chosen, er, stole the vice-presidency.  And most Americans agree that he should do time.  Yet, Here in Hackensack, the local police department continue to drive gas guzzlers, fully supporting Isis.   Hey!, they stated.  It's our American right to support whatever cause we want.  It's a free country isn't it?

  Eerily still, at the Johnson Public Library (in Hackensack), there is a security guard who wears a full beard resembling a terrorist (talk about putting fear into your readers. This guy makes Stephen King novels look like fancy boys.)   but, I guess it's too late to take action.

  The only thing left to do is save yourselves.  I heard that Canada is a free country.  Maybe I'll move there and not worry about some Mexican who will (crawl through a tunnel that goes underneath a fence that the Donald's mob buddies built to) take my place.

This world leaves a question
Since when it began
Marauders, kings make them of many a man
To plunder and pilfer all that they can
We call them heroes, they destroy land
We give them a medal, they cut off our hands
A little boy grows up and kills his friend
We call him M word, world leaders they can
And they they lead us to shutter our plans
When their shroff becomes useless
With blood on his hands
It's a cold hearted story I can't understand
Why we let them do this
to us and our friends
Now, let's get some shut-eye
You sleep while they band
Stop thinking! Just feel safe

Kisses in the Dark

think I'll take a song I'd like to sing
and shower you with the love it brings
I think I'll take a dance step that you know
and turn it into happiness that shows
You know I'd turn a rainy day to blue
If this is what I'd have to do for you
I'd build a mighty castle in the snow
If I thought it would make our own love grow
Your world isn't my world, but you know
My world is for you, I want it so
You just stand there small and powerful
I just fall and tell you all I know
Kisses in the dark they do not tell
Everything there is let's ring the bells
Now I can do everything I've told
Because I love you more today I'm sold
Kisses in the dark they do not tell
Everything there is let's ring the bells

You Cut It Out.

I saw a little girl
and I fell in love
I thought the little girl
[was] sent from above

I thought that I would
tell the whole world
how I felt about
this little girl

She put the blame on
be-rated me
For telling the whole world
what I believed

Bad Daddy , Bad Daddy
She yelled at me
Want to make them all crazy?

Daddy Daddy Daddy Please
Vociferously
Her actions not of containment

Spank me Spank me
For the whole world to see
What better home entertainment

No daddy  Don't daddy
choke hold on me
misunderstood-in for torment

I wrote her a letter
Stating how I feel
And how and why I retract it

But she's just a pill
on an airbus now
and that's just a silly fact of it

I don't want the news today
I'm going somewhere far away
You asked me not to torture you
But that's exactly what I do

Bad Daddy  Bad Bad Daddy
You told on me
Don't you ever tell

Bad Dad You Bad Daddy
I'm telling on you
Now you know how I felt

Bad baby  Bad baby
Listen to me
I won't tell anybody else

Well the whole world knows now
So get off the ***
I swear I'm a never ever ever gonna stop

Lovin' You and Lovin' You
is all I want to do
how could there ever be an end

When all I do
is tell the world
that I love you

May this never ever end

1.  Today I saw a little girl hugging an air-filled plastic snowman.

2.  As she was hugging the snowman she closed her eyes tight to give it love.

3.  This happened in a donut shop around late afternoon near Christmas.

4.  The snowman was wearing a white scarf with brown and orange stripes on it.
  
5.  I thought that the little girl was giving him a awful lot of love.

6.  Because he is never going to feel it    as he lit a smile.

7.  I realized I wanted to wear the scarf that the snowman was wearing.

Ode to the Last Vast Wetlands

We teach our children to love Jesus
and to believe in Santa Claus
Just to mess with all their little heads
And easter bunnies bearing chocolate eggs
on the day he died and then was resurrected

We teach our children that the sun rises
When in fact it's just the earth that is turning
and when it sets, it really doesn't
But, we don't let on that sunsets aren't real

There are no Appaloosas up in Whitehorse
Just what is left of precious metal - gold
and all the souls of dead bear that I murdered
to keep a rich girl warm when it gets cold

We teach our parents that they will be rewarded
Someday, if they a-leave-a us alone
But, there always has to be that one girl
who thinks she's rich enough for baby's bone

So there you have it - something is in learning
That some of us will never figure out
Because it takes a brain to stop some God from killing
And an oil well can only provide drought

Chickens can't duck you stupid head

How is any chicken going to ever lay an egg
If the chicken was a chicken with a bump on it's head

Man who owns the chicken
With the bump on it's head

The man threw another rock slower instead
The chicken he ducked and was finally spared
The man shocked the chef when vociferously stating
I THINK I'LL HAVE THE DUCK WITH A SIDE A PATAYDUHS

But if he is sleepy at cockshut
That would be a p*king duck

In the days of Camelot
A king was missing an awful lot
Not a clue had the king until one day
He saw a thief with the loot running far far away

Find me the thief said the king to his men
The knights suited up and found said man
Here is the thief the knight said to the king
Off with his ****** head
