It was a hot summer day
He wanted ice cream
Sounded like a plan
That was put into motion
He walked to the gas station
Grabbed a pint of cherry Garcia
He rushed back to his house
Hurrying so it wouldn't melt
Ready to savor the moment
He got a spoon and scooped
The taste of vanilla ice cream
Mixed with cherries chunks
His day was complete and set
Beating the heat with a treat
Each bite was a taste of delight
Easy mouth full got better
Melting on his tongue juicy
The flavor never ending felt right
Keeping him cool from the heat

Staring at a blank page trying to create
Wanting to draw out these ideas
A wild imagination doing other stuff
Seeing it vividly before these eyes
Trying to recreate on the page
Draw it holding a pencil
A blank mind set with art
Staring at a blank canvas
Able to write for hours
Hard to shade for dimensions
Give it texture to pop off the page
Story board comes to live while writing
Drawing for fun one liner comics
Hoping to make others laugh
Brighten someone's day with humor

Metal head mind set banging hard
Punk rock attitude lots of *****
A rock song in the works
A rebel not a follower trail blazing
Spoke truth called out fakes
Heart beats like a double bass drums
Music that makes you drive fast
From still to hauling *** over the limit
Took one for the team stayed away
Earned those wings to fly away

Made mistakes that how you learn
Failed that's how you get better
Never gave up finish strong till the end
Came close but not close enough to win
Went the distance working harder
Thought it was easy miscalculated
Growth over time years of encounters
Experiences make a difference
Better prepared not afraid or backing down
Focused on the work not drama
Talk about shop not others work hard
Hard work over politics treat people right

A fight to make it to the end
Crawling to finish strong
Pushing through the pain
All the punishment to win
Suffering along the journey
Showing no emotions or feelings
Consumed by not expressing
In a healthy manner the silence
A quiet mouth keeping the peace
Connected to a loud enraged mind

New vibes to groove with
New music for writing
Open to change a new flavor
Use to being the same
Hard to inspire change
When its hard to change
Some set in their ways
Take their cruelty your love for them
Hoping they'd change for the better
They have want it be open to it
Or its pointless a lost cause
Being an example a leader
Not be made an example of

The black stray cat
An older man who feeds strays
Some show up at dinner time
And this black shoes up late
Eats the left overs gets crunchies
The black cat lays under the shade
Lays under the black car chilling
This cat whines and cries for attention
Most strays run this cat likes people
Allowing a few to pet his fur
Those green eyes whining bright
Plays with the other cats
