Inside steel bars and concrete blocks
security cameras watched like hawks
Inside these walls,  locked up in a box
locked in the box that’s strong as an ox
Inside the vault with unpickable locks
armed guards protect all ticks & tocks


what is it that consumes all the clocks?
the largest stash of solid Gold stocks
stacks of Gold bricks Inside Fort Knox

even though Brothers and Sisters I have none
that man standing there is my Father's Son
He is my savior, Jesus the man from Galilee
if your faith is strong, He will be easy to see


what is it that gets wetter the more it dries
it could be anything that you see with eyes
evil lies, goodness dies, causing a thousand cries
starry eyed I look to the skies as the angel flies


it goes in dry and it comes out wet
the longer it stands the stronger it gets
water in the cup turns to tea,the bag steeps
hotter the better with sugar by the heaps


what goes up a chimney down
but can't go down a chimney up
can be used as a prop for a clown
or to cover yourself or your pup
raining again, grab the umbrella
this is the day I met my Cinderella


*
Father and a Son on a motor bike accident
the Father is taken to the West end hospital
and the Son is taken to the East end hospital
the doctor there goes to operate on the Son
the doctor says " I can't do it, it's my Son"
the E.R. is full with this, that and the other
The Chief of Staff today is  Dr. Mother



the man that made it, never needed to use it
and the man that used it, has never even seen it
He made a system of raised dots, Louis Braille
so the man who lost his sight could stay on the trail



*
only thing that will constantly go up never to come down
it has never been up in the sky or even under the ground
while young birthdays are fun, but always adding more age
no one gets younger, clock never stops, we all turn the page
each verse asks, then answers 7 separate riddles

ashes to ashes and dust to dust
sleeping in a box so we don't rust

saving spirits the angels dream
selling souls the demons scream

dragon tears and angel's breath
bonds spirit, soul and life over death

with halo hat and angel arms
to take me where the angels charm

east of the sun and west of the moon
where cherubs float and stars are strewn
HEAVEN

Somebody tell me what the hell happened to Cupid
everyone everywhere walking around acting stupid

There is no love anymore and the World is full of hate
come on people we need to change before it's too late

Politics and Religion all of us take up sides for the fight
well I've got news, your side, their side, neither is right

Doesn't matter if your a Terrorist killing or a Lawyer suing
be more than a human being, it's time to be a Human Doing

I’m a simple man with stature quite norm
In search of a partner who could weather a storm

A woman with style, charm, poise and grace
She would be strong like leather and gentle like lace

She would be fast with a quip and quick with her wit
Every room she appeared would be instantly lit

Oh how she and I could burn a house down
We went on a cruise, bad news, I thought we would drown

And on that dark dreadful night, my wife saved my life
How courageous she was, my amazing wife

Now still to this day we are the talk of the town
They say, hey! That’s what’s his name and
The Unsinkable Molly Brown
Famous Titanic survivor
