the perkiest bark from one tiny dog
cut through the woods near a cranberry bog
and I alone present to hear what he say
had let him go free without leash for a day

I then the keeper of this little mutt
again and too often within the same rut
Hey little guy, I'm right over here!!
just follow your nose, it should be very clear!!

from out of the woods then he tore with a squeal
leapt into my arms with a squirrel at his heel
never before had I seen such a sight
Teddy the Bear being filled with such fright.

The very next day I took him, I reckon
right back to the place of his fear, let it beckon
I've been in his shoes, and I know how it goes
think it's best to be done with your everyday woes.

So I set the dog down and I told to him to flee
and he ran like the wind and took off for a tree
and up the squirrel ran like a bat out of hell
old Teddy is back, and he's sure feeling well!

Who is Alex?
He doesn’t have lot of words
He doesn’t look like a movie star
He will cry when he is happy and you’d want to shrink the whole world and wrap him up.
His eyes will show his beautiful soul and his smile will show a darling too small
Mornings will be the best when you wake up next to him
Nights will be cruel because you can’t speak to him when he sleeps
You will love him so much it would hurt
He will come to you with his wretched truths and wait for you to forgive him
You’ll love him more even when you fight, for he will only smile and tell you it was his fault
His will always open his arms wide; when you tell him you’ve made a mistake
In cold winter’s evening, his hands will be your sanctuary
In hours of gloom, he will be your strongest faith
In darkest nights, he will be your brightest star
At break of dawn, he will be your perkiest sun
He will be the lines from your favorite book and all the lyrics from the famous songs
When you’re lost, his shoulders will be where you belong
When you tell him you feel fat, he will hand you crisps and tell you are always beautiful and kiss you
His kiss will be the first kiss of your life and you will want to eat and drink and sleep and be in love with him all your life
Ah, the beautiful, enigmatic Alex.

We want this, and we want that
No regards, no second guess
No Vaseline, no perkiest
The number of *******
We’re partaking in
Is leaving us bent over
Blindfolded and gagged in many ways

I’ve never been one to preach
But who’s the ******* leach
That guides us to breach
Such a faulty status quo

We’re Numbed to other people’s pain
All for gain
Nothing stops the fame
We’re yearning haphazardly
Possessing

A Kindergarten mindframe
Kindergarten mindframe
Is life merely a game to win
That we’re losing in spades
With our kindergarten mindframe
