Fame

Fortune

Swiftly came

For the dashing

Derf Merrymaker

Yet things were in reverse

For his childhood blood brother

Whose odd name was Teaberry Von

His fame rose slowly in his ancient days

Derf’s fame quickly fell died a common man

I
have
nothing
All is cool
At the very end
It will not matter in the least

Go
To
Edgemont
If you can
Stand at the crossroads
Don't look back at the path again

Newton Funk
Once a valiant knight
A man's man
With a heart
Then found peace with a bottle
Died in a sewer

Simple Life
Is often not sought
Through the blows
Tears with blood
Gold no longer seems worth it
Just give me pastures

Once Evil
Until he sunk deep
Henry Cush
Repented
He now helps the multitudes
A love rarely found

Once
Unknown
Then the mask
Changed Everything
Billed from "The Far East"
At first he was hated
A villain who was heckled
In time the fans learned to love him
The Yellow Cat became an icon
For eleven months held the golden belt

In
The town
Of Crescent
Tears filled his face
As the golden belt
Was won by another
Mobs looted the tiny town
He stood on his soapbox with rage
And became Governor of the land
A cult formed around The Yellow Cat

A
Hermit
Named Percy
Removed the mask
Of The Yellow Cat
A man with a plain face
His name of no importance
People were weary of the hype
And life returned to it's normal pace
The Yellow Cat cried the tears of a spoiled brat

Starched Dress Shirts
Shiny Polished Shoes
Manicured
Well mannered
Only one hidden desire
He ate big fat rats

Almost Done
Spinning my wheels
Wasting my time
So long

Only the chickens knew the zebra’s secret,  they kept silent.

*More to Come…

As the tiny zebra grew, others saw and were amazed.*

More to Come…

The farmer collapsed graveyard dead upon seeing the tiny zebra.
  
*More to Come….

In the henhouse, an egg hatched and a zebra emerged.

*More to Come….

Some stories never end
Some songs are never sung
Often the heart seeks
*Something that cannot be found

History
We live it daily
A young kid
On the street
May one day change the world
We may never know

Stories pop up everywhere,
No songs can be found.
I search here and there,
It seems I am story bound.

Will I ever find a song?
*The journey seems very long.

Even If
The sun never shines
I will stand
For the truth
Even if the whole world hates me
I will be myself

Be unique
Like a leopard
In a city of zebras

The Elephant
Stands Mighty,
*Until he sees the tiny mouse.

Watching water drip
Is boring
Still it can keep you awake
*All night long

I did this
I did that
Means nothing in the end
*Without love

Cletus told Gertrude
Gertrude told Hilda
Soon everyone knew
*A story that was not true

Pluto*
Lost its status,
But does it really care?
It still remains a mystery.
**Who knows?

7000*
Israelites would not bow to Baal.
They served God.

Instead of revenge
*Seek out a place with golden streets

Stars
Stripes
Christmas
In July
A time to honor*
The King who redeemed all mankind

As the human race goes down the drain,
The Star of Bethlehem shines brightly
For all the wise to see.

Swiss cheese has only one destiny,*
To be eaten up
