Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my life and weep
If I'm alive when I awake
I say the Lord made a mistake

I went to San Francisco last night
and picked up a couple of Chicks
I took them home and they laid eggs
and I fried them with hominy grits

The Dog Named Donald
left a present on the Capital steps
It will stink to high heaven
Until someone scoops up the mess

My dog threw a party last night
and invited all her friends
I was on pooper scooper duty
from the beginning to the end

Alize called me last night and
said she wanted to come spend
a fews days before she has to fly
off to Australia so she can get some
rest away from it all I told her she
sure picked the right place so she knocked on my door and we had a
glass of wine and sat on the couch
listening to music on my stereo
and I made her dinner but not French because I have no idea but
she enjoyed it and we had another glass because you know how they are
and then she went to sleep and I stayed on the couch and a few days later she flew off to Australia.
But I'll watch her on T.V.

Yesterday I saw you by the river
I was calling out your name
when you turned to me I felt a quiver
from my toes up to my brain
It was ecstasy for a single moment-
Oh, what a lovely frame!
But a moment later
I wished I never knew your name

I think God is trying to **** me
but I don't know why
there are plenty of people
already up in the sky
maybe He is lonely
or maybe He is sly?
all I know is
I'd rather live than die

I'm going to call up the ****** Mary
And ask her out on a date
I wonder if she likes sushi
and staying up late?
I'll buy her a bouquet of roses
and fix my hair real nice
Then we can go back to my place
and make Another Christ

At times i am crazy
and little do know
At times i am lazy
don't shovel the snow

At time I'm a genious
so clever and wise
At times the cleanest
Don't need a disguise

At times I'm too stupid
to know what to think
At times i make a bid
At times i shrink

At times I'm so capable
so able and strong
At times so stable
So calm through the storm

At times i can think
as the greatest of men
at times i shrink
at the mention of them

At times I'm so lonely
so sorry and mad
at times i am only
Alive-and I'm glad!

Aurora stopped by last night
She was all dressed up like new
I think it was a quarter past ten
And I was feeling Kind of Blue
Miles was in my left ear
Coltrane in the right
All in all I'd have to say
It was a very good night

Caroline, Yes
I saw you in
your painted dress
It's not as nice as
you're birthday suit
but you still looked
very cute

Friends Family and Love
Within the Holiness
Together Time stands still
For the Spirit of Jolliness
And the Heart calls out for more
The Heart calls out for more

I can't seem to commit
to anything anymore
I'm even backing out
of my driveway

I have a Dog named Dabby Doo
She eats and drinks and poos
She loves me like no Woman do
And that is through and through

My House doesn't own me anymore
no need to worry about the HVAC or the floor
I may get a good night's sleep
But to the Landlord I am but a Sheep

I'm hoping that God sends me
the keys to a luxury condo in the meat packing district so I can ride the iron horse like the days of old and climb the stairs to the 79th floor and pick up where we left off but I know you can't go home again even though technically it wasn't
my place but none of that matters any more in the new and crazy world where I now reside as long as I have my perch on the 25th floor near the Center of the Universe and my five years of exile exist only as a pleasant memory of dinners at Anji's and music in the park on Independence Day plus a few other things but not when I went to see the doctor and the birds and the bees or the two Harleys that the two jerks crashed in the night so I finally was able to get some sleep none of that but the dinners at Anji's for sure.

Dogs Have No Religion
So There's the Proof
I Don't Care What They Say
Woof Woof

I went to Venus last night in a dream
The roof of my house was floating upstream
Cowboys and Indians lay here and there
I hope that the Love of My Life will appear

Even Narcissists Can Cry
It's not beyond My Imagination
It must hurt so bad to lose
The object of One's Manipulation
But it doesn't matter to Me
I can't Control Destiny
Or beg for Your Affection

And then I walked across the water
and met you on the other side
and there I asked you what you wanted
and then I saw it in you eyes
And so we wandered to the river
and felt like running wild
But then I told you about the morning
when I was just a child
And then the mountains in the distance
appeared from beneath the clouds
and we forgot about the nightmares
and all the wasted hours
And then I asked you about the reason
you walked away that night
But everything that happens happens
and we know that's right

I threw the ball up in the air
and it never came back down
She's searching for it everywhere
Never to be found
She lost the scent
and cannot see
the bright yellow ball
way up in the tree

God stopped in Tel Aviv
on the way to meet the rabbini
He sat on the beach and
watched the girls in their bikinis
the Rabbi was waiting at the station
But He just had to admire
his greatest creation

I asked God what He wanted
and He said not to cry
He said it doesn't matter
but He didn't say why
I pointed to the thing
way up in the sky
He told me not to worry
Then He said goodbye

If everything is beautiful in Heaven
and there is no place below
then Earth must be the Dungeon
where evil doth dwell

I saw my dog last night
from nineteen seventy-five
she was adorable
and looked so alive
she gave me her paw
and did what I said
and then she went
and sat in her egg

I want to date Kristina Mladenovic
but she has no idea who I am
if she knew who I was
she would still have no interest
this is not encouraging
but one never knows...

I want to date Emily Dickinson
and see how things go
we have to get to know each other
but may be mates of the soul
there is an age difference
but that can be bridged
I can't wait till we meet
so we can start to live

I caught a cold last night
Just before it hit the ground
And stopped it from spreading
It's germs all around

I drew a picture of the Prophet
and hung it on the wall
no matter what some may say
It's not bad at all
may not be my best work
but what can I say?
I'm really not an artist anyway

If Jesus really loved me
He'd send a woman to me tonight
Like the ones I see in the movies
On the illicit websites
If Jesus really loved me
He'd set the record straight
All women would be mine
And Hermann Hesse would be right

I love Lucie
and her amazing ***
Her beautiful backhand
and her movement on grass
She plays for her country
and has drank from the Cup
I love Lucie
So very very much

It's been years now
since I've seen her
I'm getting closer to Caterina
It may be why I'm here
sipping this beer
on the steps of the old Cantina

My girlfriend called me up last night
from the other side of the bed
I told her she was being ridiculous
when she could just text instead

I sold Jesus today
For a 150 pounds
It was the best I could do
After making the rounds
At least he was worth something
After all these years
Pain, Suffering and Tears

It should have been Anji
Here with me tonight
to listen to Dino & drink
to our Heart's Delight
It could have been Anji
If everything was right
But it seems that the Gods
have their own interests in sight
But it could have been Anji
and I know this is right
whatever may happen
I'll remember the night
When Anji told me everything
would be alright...

I thought I saw an angel
Walking through the door
I guess that I was dreaming
Can't see her any more
Maybe it was morning
Or maybe times have changed
If only we could remember
The time that remains

I thought I saw Jesus
Walking down the road
His hair was long and flowing
and he was carrying a load
I rolled down my window
and opened up the door
And then I realized it was only
a homeless Troubadour

A dog crept up behind me the
other day and said,
"Please give me a drink or I'll
soon be dead;
my human has died-
he's incredibly dead,
and I've been left without
any bread."
"You've nothing to fear."
to the dog i said,
"There's plenty to drink,
down the street by the shed.
Just go over and get it
with nothing else said."
I must admit the dog lost all his dread
as he ran down the street
nodding his head.

It's the last night-the last beer
the last time I will be here
the last song and the last sleep
the last time I will soar
and I will weep
It's a sad time and the best
because I finally got it right
AT LAST!

It's Your Karma
My Friend
You will Suffer
To the End
Enlightenment Adieu
There is no Hope
For You

It's like I've Been Reincarnated
My Dog is Still Alive!
For how many more days
I cannot surmise
But each one I will treasure
Until . . . (a couple of rhymes here, sadly)

I want to go listening to
Rubber Soul
watching the tennis girls
sipping wine and
eating eggplant parmesan
A book by Ian
but I'm not sure when
so I will have to devote
all my time to this
there are worse things to do

Jesus stopped by
for a little "chat"
He told me the secrets of Existence
and this and that
He's a very interesting guy
I'd love to have him back

Jesus was a man
who lived in ancient times
of this I do believe
you cannot change my mind
he gained quite a following
and had some good ideas
the authorities crucified him
because of their fears
and he has been dead
all these many years

It's just a glance
that feeds my trance
the future leads the past
there's no romance
I take no chance
It's over just as fast
But when eyes meet eyes
there's so much to be told
a future to behold
a person I might hold!
But it's just a glance
Paris, France
Now I'm on my way
After all I'd be the fool to say
I'd love to take you home

Lightening strikes the alley cat
it strikes the saintly soul
it does no discriminating that
will justify the whole
why then, you may ask
should we look above
why do the task
if we're going to fall so hard
well then, let me tell you
why one should look out
our soul is the avenue
by which we move about

What if God had decided on three legs
Or one arm
Or two heads
Maybe a third ear?
I think he got it just right

Eric Rohmer gave us Claire's Knee
and it's irresistible allure
Kristina's Thigh
is all that and more

I lent a Hand
to a Man in Need
But, oh how
Did I Bleed

I came upon the Beatles while walking in the woods
John and George were there and sounding good
They gave a wink and smile to me
I continued on my journey
and Let Them Be
