Waving Goodbye
David Ehrgott Nov 2014
She dresses up like a cool-treat
in the summertime

Like an orange-cream with whipped cream
she is so divine
don't forget the wedge of lime, no cherry

bitterly delicious
with each and every taste
she can take you way-out
leave a smile on your face, for almost life

or leave you tearing in the rain
waving goodbye

Canela Molida get on my buttered bun
and take my blues away
Add some honey an' there ya' go
A quick snack for late afterday

or heck just start the day with it
come on just don't play with it
And Canel Molida she sprinkles it
on what is all good

Canel Molida I just want to thank you
Better days can now be seen now that you are here
I toast to your powers
But, won't climb Yeats tower, not here

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

Dirty Pool In Jersey
David Ehrgott Aug 2016
I confess
I have always voted Democrat
Just to rebel against my parents
So, when I voted in the Primary
The x's went straight down and
I pressed the "vote" button
That is when the ticket taker stated
"You know you voted for TRUMP, don't you?"

I didn't question it
No need to get in a toss with some volunteer
The next day they [the media] announced that
Trump had won by a landslide
It's funny though, how as soon as it looked obvious
That "the don" dumped the "dingdongaholic"
Because he became expendable

Just thought I would further inform my friends
of everything wrong with this great country
But, ain't it always the same

CROOK vs CROOK for office!
That's the story Here

She's a life-changer

As caterpillars died off fast
and darkness soon filled in
I needed someone to reflect

and hope and pray 'till then

TODAY (II)
David Ehrgott Aug 2015
Mary Jane walked in the rain
under her umbrella
Opened up a can of salt
and dried up all the water

We pitch in change
We can't afford but, go ahead and buy it
And sometimes help the other side
When leaders, they do blind us

But listen it's not just the mines
Which lead us into danger
All the answers, written here
But, you need something stranger

Okay here goes, let me explain
Easy answers end no rain
Schoolkids with talent wind up a dropout
High football players take drugs then they cash out

We give more to money to make more of money
The Superbowl rules US.  Is that all there is, honey?
Gangsters rule, violent street killers in suits
You shouldn't be driven when you're on the toot

Those forest trees now they need to be saved
So listen to college, the students, be brave
Anything we can do we need to right now
So listen up baby and don't have a cow

Plant it!  The CAN-O-BUS, some call it hemp
It's cannabis, Hurry and save the planet
So many jobs gained just from making clothes
Food, medicine, and paper with No

Damage to the environment this be our cause
Dependent on oil?  Well, we've got that solved
Just grow hemp and use it, the answer to all
Oh go ahead, light some, and go have a ball

We can not go on with this fighting for oil
WE'RE KILLING OUR PLANET, like Cain, he killed Abel
Don't cut your brother, you mothers of spoil
We can make a change, lead us now, 'cause you're able

Put punk-*ss *** dealers out of control
A nationwide income and even on exports
Come on now get us off oil
It's killing us, choking us, children will boil

Everyone working and happy again
The bad guys, the dealers, now useless my friend
It's easy so do it now, now means today
As easy as feeding a horse, Ed, some hay

Come on off your high horse, stop drilling to ****
The fish in the ocean are dead from the spills
It needs to be outlawed; All men grow a brain
Make oil illegal, we need to be saved

Put out the fire and legalize **** we need
to get the 5.1 million off their duffs
It's not about wanting to grab a free puff
It's jobs and it's fent in doing what is right for mother earth
George Washington could not have been wrong!!!!!!!

You Cut It Out
David Ehrgott Jul 2015
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

Oh how I loved you

The bleeding; the hurting
I've suffered so dear

I wish it that
We had never once parted
For again it would fail
If we ever restarted

Once we had once
Can not happen; it ends
Calliope wheel
Spins around once again

Told Ya So!
David Ehrgott Aug 2016
Remember this one?

About a year ago, before the candidates were in the running. The headlines read "Hillary defeats Satan." I , at the time, could not understand this. "How could this be?" I questioned myself. After all, wasn't she the one that handed over the POTUS position to a muslim/socialist? And wasn't she caught with a truckload of articles that belonged to the United States when she moved out of the White House? Yet, some women groups still believe she is the right person to steal the office. (Remember Dickandbush, no one voted for them either. Remember? REMEMBER?) The Presidency is not a position that is voted by the people anymore and hasn't been decided by the public in a long, long time. As a matter of fact, the whole election process is merely a choreographed dance or ******* if you will.

Now to the matter of topic. How she does it. First she gets a crazy old man who preaches socialism is the answer to be her opponent. Is any one in their right mind going to believe that socialism belongs anywhere on THIS PLANET! Listen friend, if it didn't work for the Russians and the USSR then how in the hell do you think it would work here. Some one PLEASE purchase a one-way ticket to China for Bernie boy or maybe send him to Mars. Maybe it could work there. Okay? She has the Democratic ticket. In like Flint.

Now the other side, the Republicans had so many choices and only one of them had the nads to challenge the SUPER-PACS. (You remember those nice scumbags that pay politicians so much money to destroy the country that they (the politicians) just have to take it. Let's see, there once at the time was about eighteen of them. And not one of them could match the evil wits of Satan. I really believed at one time that he DID have a chance to beat thunder-thighs. Then he did this. First he stated that he was good friends with Hillary and has known her for a very long time. Then, he did the unthinkable. He hired the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man to tag along with him. You remember him. Don't you? The guy who not only single-handedly bankrupted an entire city. But, also gave the State of New Jersey a $384 BILLION deficit. Great choice Donald. Why don't you just meet Hillary in a motel for three days and you can be the next leader in about eight years or so.

The other Republican hopefuls were 1. Pretty Boy (he could get the eighteen year old vote but, that's about all.) 2. *****-Nilly (just not leadership material.) 3. BUSH? 4. Some guy whose name sounds like a ****** disease. 5. The Penguin, or as he put it Dracula. And other fiends of Hillary.

Sorry Folks,

The fix was in from the get go.
It's in the bag.

Let's just hope that thunder-thighs doesn't squeeze us too hard.


Oh, just one last thing. If we limit terms in the Senate, Congress, and most importantly Supreme Court. Then, and only then will we have an uncorrupted government. You can thank me later.

Life's Ups and Downs
David Ehrgott Dec 2014
one day i was shopping
in the rite-aid and as i
approached the checkout counter
and smiled at the cashier
our eyes met

at that exact moment
the earth stopped to turn on its axis
when That occurs
(since the earth spins so fast)
things fall off shelves and whatnot
in other words
a whole lotta shakin' goes on

then the earth starts to make a creaking sound
as though it may be in need of oil
that is when i started to jump
up in the air
because i know that
if you jump high enough
when the earth flips
you can land on the other side
of the planet
for me that would be
like going to china
for free

it doesn't work when
you are inside of a building
and the furthest i have ever gone
was about a half a block

anyway the cashier sees me
jumping up into the air
and yells at me
"stop jumping up and down
you're making the stuff fall off the shelves
who do you think is going to have to
clean up this mess?"

then the earth flipped and
things went back to normal

I stopped jumping and
our eyes remet each others
i could've sworn at that moment
that i had fallen down the grand canyon
the cashier (rachel) was wearing a baseball cap
over her beautiful brown hair
and to this day i swear that i cannot
get the image of her out of my head
her hazel eyes of love
brought tears to mine
i appologised
found the items i needed
and checked out

as i walked home
with my mind on rachel
i became manic and
that carol king song crept
up in my head and
i began singing
"i feel the earth move under my feet
i feel the sky a tumble-lin' down
i feel my heart start to tremble-in'
whenever you're around..."

i sang it every day
for about a month
before i got the courage
to ask her out

as it turns out
she wasn't the marrying kind
just some cheap ****

i'll never jump that high again

Find me a home

I had me a place
A place with my wife
  
Cookie Construction
Tore my home down
They razed it to nothing
Leveled to ground
  
This city's so crowded
There isn't the room
For someone disabled
Who has paid his dues
  
Who served for his country
The red, white and blue
We'll give him some money
And throw him his food
  
We'll move him two counties
It's better for him
Then to let him live where
His life did begin
  
We'll give him new neighbors
We'll give him new friends
We'll give him a stamp card
To eat with again
  
Hey, you with the uncle
How come no grin?
I'm too tuckered; tired
For this mess again

Calm all the white rapid waters

Sing ev'ry independence day

fly away to paradise
or just fly high in soft balloons

Write down romantic ballads, dear
dedicate them all to you

And sonnets and haikus for you
All my other smithings too
Ev'ry singleword I say
Ev'ry meaning too
Would be uttered just for you
to prove that I love you

I'd buy and sell the brooklyn bridge for you
or rent it out to all the

And never have to worry
