The turkey's on
Old man Johnson's farm
All wised up this year

Logging on
To Amazon
About mid November

With Halloween out of the way
They were bound to save
On the items they would need

Which worked out great
Cause all they could afford to pay
Was in scratched up chicken feed

The pigs helped in
The ordering
As it's a well known fact

That being turkey's
They're always in a hurry
And ain't nobody got time for that

They saved up extra seed
For quick delivery
When you're on the cliffs edge dancing

Coming down to it
This being life or death
There's no need to take chances

In the nick of time
The package arrived
On the day required

The fateful day
Known to our hero's as shake and bake
November 23rd

On that morning when
Old man Johnson then
With ax in hand stepped outside

Where he tried to think
Had he ever seen
So many cows in his life

In between the moo's
He heard a gobble or two
Which in itself is very strange

Plus the Amazon bill
For umpteenth costume cows
He just can't quite explain

Did you ever once dream
Or ever twice think
That your love for drugs
Would be all that you need

Or when you were a kid
Out of all that you did
That the habit you'd kick
Would be your innocence

On the verge of death
With little to no time left
A secret we know
But from you it's been kept

Did you not think at one time
This could be your life
And this would be the way
You'd find the way to die

May God have mercy on your soul
And the ones left out in the cold
When you're no longer here
While the rest of us grow old

Missing you more than you know
Without you here to show
But if the truth be known
We lost you a long time ago...
I've had several friends kids die from overdoses which for the addict ends the horror but for the ones left behind just continues another chapter in the book. The latest which hit me hardest is the son of a friend dying 2 weeks ago and this weekend is their daughters marriage...I couldn't even imagine.

If only there could be
One day throughout the year
For all those who have passed away
That their souls would be released
For us to have one more day
Just to talk, hug or cry to one last time
Also, for loved ones to say a proper goodbye
For those who left us suddenly
                     And
Make your dreams of fantasy become a reality

if i could just manage
to manage my time
i'd have more time
in which to unwind

but as it now stands
i stand here stressed
how i managed this
is anyone's guess

Walking on water entrapped within a snow globe of ones imagination
With one slight tilt
You stumble and fall
Completely being surrounded by water...

You will always float back to the top
Learn from your mistakes
                    And
Eventually will be a top the water once again
Walking to your dreams
Spinning around the snow globe that we call
                    LIFE

Temperature dips below freezing
Feels like ice shards are cutting your skin
Jumping into a scolding hot shower
Feeling like 1000 needles piercing your skin
                As it hurts so bad
                        It feels so good
It’s like a drug,
                Warming your body,
Putting you on cloud nine,
            Making you feel oh so good....
