flatly impassive
mermaids patter raggedly
bleakly, moping pains

Mary had a little lamb
A little bit of pork
And some roast beef
If there was one thing
People could say about Mary
It was that she really loved her meat

Mary went bankrupt.
Betting on a lamb to win a horse race just wasn't a wise decision.

I think I'll be a music man
Travel across the land
Sing to all the losers
Give them a helping hand
  
I'll be a *** with money
But a rich man with my song
Thumbing across the country
Living all life long
  
I'll play the cities like L. A.
For a day or week
Then when I am tired
I'll move to Boulder Creek
  
My legs may be quite tired
My eyes can barely see
But, no one can tell me I'm chained
My mind will always be free

The **** beaches do
expose the shamelessness of
polluted waters

Somebody tell me where to go
Where heroes go
When they need saving
  
I'm sure it's not the place I know
Those years ago
Where we were paving
  
The times have changed
There's no more iron in those creases
But, still the same
It seems the fighting never ceases
  
Found out today, a better way
They needed us
to free the Congo
  
Will cost us more, but we got more
to spend on those
that need their freedom
  
During these times
It seems the fighting never ends
Democracy
Let freedom ring until the end
  
And if it cost us more, what then?
Can we then spend
All of our savings
  
Just what is it that we get back?
Personal sat-
isfaction?  Pleasing?
  
I think I know
Why we both hold our heads up high
The only way
to save the world before we die
  
It can not be the Palestines
All of the time
Disrupting freedom
  
Where does that funneled money go
Now tell us Joe
Whose cornered market?
  
Sometimes it's easy
Finding out who is the bad guy
And other times
it just might be who paid the bad guy
  
Most of the people here they go
Where worship grows
to church on Sundays
  
The Bible teaches, we agree
to live in peace
We need forgiveness
  
And tell me please
Why we are bombing in this day and age
When will we learn?
Obviously not two thousand years after they slay [Jesus]
  
I need vacation but, can't go
There's no place now
That we're not hated
  
And if I could go to a land
I'd lie in sand
That's not debated
  
Two thousand years
Amazingly the weaponry
is still the same
It can simply leave you lame or **** you just the same
  
Somebody tell me where to go
Where heroes go
When they need saving
  
Today, our proudest son came home
Boxed up alone
And flagged for freedom
  
Somebody tell me where to go
Where heroes go
When they need saving

Sometimes I need my **** ****** and there
is nobody there...

No one at home to please me
All I have is what's in my pocket
And that ain't much of a hand squeeze

She's way too young
But, I still want her
Never felt a warmer softer soul
I love the way she vampire bites me
Maybe not the dark' eternity though

And Romeo's going to muscle her away from me
I'd like to see him try
I'd send him to the moon; he'd fly
I guaranty a fight

I never loved one more, ayem
so that's the irony
The one I love more than any other
Could be the true-heart..death of me

And Romeo want's to dance with her
Well, my feet are tired
So it's better her than me
Maybe keep the peace

... or give it a fight

for life

Onion sadness drops
crocodile tears on dishrags:
emancipation!

Vote for me and I promise to..



******* and this country up the ***!
There!

How 'bout THAT for honest politics.
In other words I will do what every politician does.
The only difference is that I will tell you I'm doing it.
Instead of shaking my head and repeating "not me."

An honest man's statement was torted the other day
Just for its implications
If honesty is against the law
The Cronies must be laughing

Isn't it odd that when young we're taught lies
Then forced to believe them
You know the sun does not set nor does rise
It is all just an old illusion

If Villon was crying in sventn cntry
Hear ye all God save the Queen
And Ezra got pounded for what he was shouting
Over the airwaves in old Italy

Truth be illegal now tell me all lies
I'm stupid, I just might believe them

a girl
a pretty girl
as pretty as her curls
\pretty as the posies
on her p.j.'s
or the smile on her jeans
or her skirts
\but more than pretty
the love she has
for me
her one and only
daddy

sleepy tall sunny
raspberries hallucinate
pulling sheepish hearts

There is a ******* Central Park South
Near Mantle's
I call her Satan
She can fly to the west coast
in about twenty minutes
It makes your stomach turn
She's some kind of a demon
or a government project
It's been usurping me since 1973
And I get so tired of it
If it was human
Then, how does it turn into a pinball
How does it break my window
Then, put it back
And why can't I remember her name
Lot's of people know her
She takes care of animals
She shows them she cares
She turns into that steel ball
And puts me into air
Like at the Predators game
Against Tampa at Orlando in '02
or Rutherford Day in '04
Wish this government project would leave me alone
Wish this devils' daughter would just stay home
I showed her to all my "friends"
But, they can't see her
She is real though
They have felt her hand
She pays my friends to make disguises
Then climbs in them
My friends come back from the dead
She taunts me that way
Then destroys me again
Anybody know her?

Darkened winded whirlpools
Tearing up farms and homes
Swallowing whole towns

a nine line poem with one less sound per
line as the lines just move on down
like counting crows on a hot
wired pole just five more
to go, is this so
easy. not as much
as you might
think it
is

O' Lord
Such Glory
  
Comfort
For the Soul
  
Blessed Art Thou
Glory
  
Love and Glory

And So It Is

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

madly believing
romping nymphs squirming bluebirds
perch squelching, cackling

Let's do the Lindy
Everybody do the Lindy
Let's let the men in red
Roll on in from China

Let's do the Lindy
Everybody do the Lindy
Every small-c ******
Living in the USA

It's hard to believe
That we all let this happen
How can we stand by and see
Our country flushed down the crapper

Hey Everybody
Let's do the Lindy
The government controls us
All hail the ****** way

Shave that thing off
your mustachio
Comb your hair
Now, look at that
Watch your manners
Don't past wind fast
And don't don't don't
make that laugh

    Chorus

Don't Don't Don't
Make that laugh
Don't Don't Don't
Make that laugh
Die off from a heart attack
But don't don't don't
make that laugh

v2

Don't do nothing
It's Saturday
Nod out on
the couch all day
plan a date
a night that's ' gas
But don't don't don't
make that laugh

     Repeat Chorus

V3

Spend all day
just watch T.V.
Hop on a bus
to the city
Go without
taking a bath
but don't don't don't
make that laugh

Bury me in Alaska
My dear old friend
It won't be in vain
It's how I wish my life to end
  
Grind up my remains
And feed it to the bears
There, in Alaska
Not someplace colder
  
Not in Aroostook
Not in Maine
Bury me in Alaska
It won't be in vain

Guns are innocent
The gun does not **** people
People **** people

grieving ship prowls, crag
exclaims slowly, faintly, small
old pond gibbering

If you're a lady
all-purpose handheld device
vibrate with night-lite

You set
Your face flush
Against a prop
  
With that slight
Smirky smile of yours
And I question
  
Does beauty fade
Then your eyes brighten
And time stands still

Mary had a little lamb.
Her goat was much larger.

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

For Twenty-Five years we watched
Drug Dealers on the sidelines
in the NFL

In High School
We were told that if we didn't join sports
We would wind up doing drugs

We did not
Believe
Those coaches

The chess team did well that year
A football player became paralyzed
for life

Is there a way I could end my existence
And try once, to live again
It's not like I couldn't use your assistance
or ask you to do something like sin

I'm just afraid, I've been burnt, by so many
I don't need another ******-friend
Never trust a politician honey
Never trust a politician's friend

If you ever feel like making music
I would let you borrow all my pens
Sorry, all my guitars are broken
And I haven't any money for a set

I wonder if there was a cool way to say it
My hands wouldn't be trembling
I never could handle, hey I erased it
What's the magic words again

'Cause I know please and maybe some others work
But, I haven't any in my pen
I know it's too late to say sorry
But that even isn't one of them

I'll try to write down the magic words
Now, tell me, if you think of them
I had them written down, all of them
This can not really be the end

I'm sorry I must of just got lost here
Direct me where to meet again
I know I'll find those magic words
They're here somewhere, Maybe in my other pen

Look at that!  Erased again!  How'd that happen?
What is really happening
I thought that we were more than friends
Is there something wrong between your ears?

I'm looking for those magic words
There!  I found them.  I thought it would be easier
There goes my old condition called nervousness
I hope it doesn't turn you off again

The looks that you've been giving lately
Has it have to do with him
I thought we had something special here
A condition free experience

There goes my eraser again
It happened to me once again
A smudge spot smeared by all its might
There'll be a lot of lonely nights again
There'll be a lot of lonely nights again

So break me out another beer my friend
Because we're going to have plenty of time
She left me for good this time she said
Because I wanted to live again
I wanted to live again
That's all.  I wanted to live again

Walking down the street today
The people look so cold
They have to hurry on their way
No time to share one's soul

Some push and shove, start bickering
Forgetting why we live
It's only competition now
Nothing else means anything

We must win the fight fight fight
It means everything
We have not time to shake one's hand
nor listen to them sing

When did we forget to love
our brothers and our friends (?)
The world has turned so sickening
When will it ever end

handheld all-purpose
device how nice to make life
an easy delight

A worm wanted to know what it would be like
to rise above the filthy dirt in which he wallowed.
So, he climbed and climbed, inching his way to the top.
Finally sticking his head above ground. He was able to
smell the green grass and see the blue sky. Moments
before becoming breakfast, er, then bird splat.

Living my whole life without
The one who's dearest to my soul
Twenty years inside the ring
Hear now what I have to bring
\Tears of rain, Tears of rain
L.A. never be the same
Crying tears that look like rain
Tears of rain get on the train
\Often times I have regret
For the story of my debt
She's a friend of Jesus Christ
She's a sinner and a friend
\Tears of rain, Tears of rain
Wendy's in the window pane
Crying Texas sizes pain
Tears of rain get on the train

Yell- OW!

All the times you've loved me
and I didn't hear a one
like a rail-man drunk on brandy
I couldn't hear your love

Now, If I had be listening
Soft bluebirds in thin air
Would let me know where heaven is
That is in front of your glistening

How can I ?
Should I go against my principals?
Throw everything to the wind?
Kiss me again
Does it make it all go away?
or did it make it stay?
I run to you
Crash hard, then fall
Should I blame you for my bruises?
Do you treat people the way that they treat you
or the way that you would like to be treated?
I thought that they were friends
Kiss me again
Did it make it all go away?
or does it make it stay?

The Oakland A's are quite Athletic but,
why are they drest like ducks?

The announcer announces:

Batter-at-the-plate
High Pitch!
Whoops!
Whoosh!

So mallard looking are
they with their yellow brim
on their green helmets

[CLANG] the ball hits a support pole in the stands

Yep, They duck

The train has passed
We're glad she's gone
She never did much good

Monarchs, satyrs-butterflies
could ****
But, she could not

Crapping through
a tubed-up bag
Ain't no way to live

Too much weight to bury
Now they burn them
all the dead

A Nor'easter sneaks
in to welcome spring
Winter avered "not done yet"

Mary had a little time
As she showed up early
for her appointment

fearlessly, groundhog
muttering, languishing horse
recovers, unchained

Their hands were so fast
as they waved goodbye.
We thought he'd be a good guy.
Why were we so high?
  
It was gone before he got there.
There wasn't any money left.
Nothing left for health care,
except for over there.
  
They called it a bailout.
Look closer!  They're not bailing, they're buying!
We'll save you IF, you let us own you.
Give us a piece and we'll keep you from dying.
  
No, No, No!  It's nothing like that.
You can still practice capitalism.
Just give us a piece.  You hear?
China has been living that way for years.

It's so peaceful here in your world
I wish I was born here
and lived in its tranquility
Oh! but you don't know the trials and
tribulations I had and the sufferings of
what you ignore
You fear reality, to hide from its honesty
I only wish to show you what's there
I meant you no harm
still you censure my words!
What Dove?

Why do I put myself
In this much pain
I stare at your photo
Like a ****** - insane

They don't think twice
About shattering lives
One has a badge
The other has stardom
Another thinks trash and
Then backs into bar bums
The heartache they've caused
The terrible ruin
How can they live with
Themselves and the suing
The other side bleeds
With torment forever
And makes the most out
Of pointless endeavors
The victims are gone
Or forever in pain
How can those three know
The hurt that they've made

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

Relax now
Go to sleep
Daddy's here now
Go to sleep
\Don't you weep now
'for you wake
Say your prayers
For heavens' sake
\And before you
Go to school
Brush your teeth
And move your stool
\Wash your face
And dry your hands
Smile
And give mom a hand

Hazel
I never knew a thing before
And now I
Hear the ocean's roar
I hear the
Clatter of your
Footsteps
But keep going
And I see
A road that
Never ends
And it floats
It could learn
But
It just lies there
In the sun
Like a lizard
Gathering warmth
And our minds, Hazel
They
Gaze into each other's peepers
And
Become one
And
The answers
Become wordless

Up on Boulder Hill they gather
to celebrate what really matters
finally, a winning football season
as higher and higher glows a worthwhile fire

The bonfire for the team
