Pedalling along singing a jaunty song
I cycled along the grassy way,
The air was crisp, the sun shone fine
And all the world was merry and gay.

The flowers bloomed, the bee danced happy
The poet in me dare says
Alas, i did not notice in the distance
The black bulls steely gaze

His amorous self had been denied
The love of the village cow
He was upset and wanted to vent
At the puny cyclist now!

God does his miracles
But they were not to be
For i did not pay heed
To the Beastly bovine running behind me

The bull made its move, Its horns charging clear
I knew not what hit me,
just lightning struck in the rear

The world went dark, the stars twinkled
I started eating dirt
I swore in holy anger
The poet in me was hurt.

But what chance do you take?
What do you explain, to an irate bull?
His pious wrath now sated
He watched me with an eye so cool

Never again do i take that way,
Nor do i sing the merry song
For an angry bull is worth the pass
For he can do no wrong!
This happened to me when i was a kid :-).. penning this down after so many years bought back some memories!! :-)

Congressional stuck at the bend
Now when and how long will this Government shutdown end?
Eyes of America wondering when
Immigration being the top discussion
But it seems immigration has became more of a percussion
Republicans want their way
The Democrats are saying not on this day
This is where we all need to pray
Some Government services will seem to stop
Protestors in force making their voices with a mock
It will be a moment being a long wait
A mourning being a fate
The thought for Heaven’s sake
Being wise in knowing no need to apologize
But when it comes to our President it becomes a definition of realize
What was Washington, DC thinking?
No plan with a strategy
The nation is placed on still with reality
Government shutdown bound
Listen no sound
Now how long will this Government shutdown last?
There’s an uncertainty with no vote to cast
House of Representatives think on the situation fast
The nation has many questions to ask
Remember Election time when you lose your seats
The nation will remember in who bowed to defeat
A President who decided to retreat
The nation being stuck in between at beat
House of Representatives what is it you seek?
A nation suffers
Will the nation ever recover?
Capitol Hill being the bill
But the nation is wondering still
A shutdown with no movement bound.

Shakespeare's ghost!
Writing from the grave!
Trading the host!
Useful zombie slave!

Channel his ghost through a record player.
The sound of his song gets stuck in my head.
I hum the melody and it catches ear,
The sickness spreads like a trend.

Stupid people copy smart people
To make themselves feel smarter.
Smart people use stupid people,
To make themselves seem smarter.

Minds like channels on the television,
Eyes like ceiling fans collison.
A house with no walls!
A burgler can just walk right in!

he tells the truth and tells it slant
with a comedic edge
but my problems with communication
drove between us a problem wedge
nonetheless his truths seeped in
and churned at back of mind
i can't believe i thought him malicious
when his urging of me to see the truth was kind
my sage soul evolution
i owe to his vivacious vision
i have to thank the gods
for our two soul's collison
my problems with communication
made me see a demon
when really he was trying to show me
how to make lemonade out of lemons
his natural wit and wisdom
are the reason i woke up
so in despite of all that went awry and wrong
i can still thank my luck

1979
The motel was almost invisible
In the evening California fog.
I come here every year
I did their books.
They were my First customer.
I did not expect to met her.
The woman I should have met
Before fourteen years of marriage
And three children in the fold.
But my god it was a Collison
destined to happen
Decided by fate
Out of control.
A drink of wine
A fireplace glowing
to take the chill
of autumn from the cold air
And off my heart.
Sure we had ***
But thats not true
We had what
had been missing
from our lifes
Foe way too many years.
I knew and she knew
It was too strong of a bond
To put down to a passing fancy.
Just as much as our children knew
we would always be there
for them.
That we loved them.
And always would
do that what is right for them.
But twenty five years have gone bye
and I still do the books
for the old motel.
Every year at the same time.
And for a few days
she joins me.
And life is sweet
And the world's journey
is tested.by my needs.
And I feel the love
that I need
the warmth
that I crave.
And the woman
That  I love
And as she leaves me
The car engine of her vehicle
whines goodbye for now.
I whisper to myself
I love you honey.
See you.
same time next year
my love
You don't always get what you want.
But if you try sometimes
you just might find
You get what you need
The rolling stones

carry my load
for my back is broken, sir
i fell down the stairs
i held my breathe,
bombarded by stares
of complacent onlookers
a bunch of spiritual hookers

this picture haunts me
help me, sir
it constrains my vision
put on your seatbelt
i predict another collison
hold your breathe
your nightmares are about to come to furition

i warned you
but on you went
like those blissful onlookers
now it's your duty
to warn the next herd of hookers

— The End —
