When we're full we only want more
to fill up the warehouse next door
when greed takes over
rolling in clover
who cares what tomorrows has in store
************
PHENOMENAL
Phenomenal things take place
sometimes in front of my face
I think it's strange
down at the grange
but need to present my case
and...
PHENOMENAL
Phenomenal as it may seem to you
the fact of the matter is it is true
it's hard to understand
and not what I had planned
but what the hell can one guy like me do
************
AS AUTUMN 1
As autumn colors fade away
for me it's just another day
the air's got a chill
so I took a pill
and find myself starting to sway
[either me, or this room is spinning]
and...
AS AUTUMN 2
As autumn gets colder and colder
I find myself getting much older
but that's OK
some other day
I might even get a bit bolder
[but then again...]
and...
AS AUTUMN 3
As autumn turns into winter
I somehow got a big splinter
it got in my hand
it's infected man
I got to see Doctor Kintler
[asap]
and...
AS AUTUMN 4
As autumn days get shorter
there are some things I taught her
like get up at dawn
before the days gone
and wear the socks I bought her
[she's got cold feet]
************
A SPIRIT
A spirit came to me yesterday
she had a lot she wanted to say
yes, she was there
but just like air
I couldn't hold her in any way
and...
A SPIRIT
A spirit lives inside of me
when I die it will be set free
where will it go
how do I know
in time I guess I'll get to see
************
Ruth
I knew a lady called Ruth
she was wild and very uncouth
she played with my heart
tore my world apart
but I finally learned the truth
************
Some Oranges
Some Oranges I have had were green
they were sweet if ya know what I mean
they grew on a tree
it seems, just for me
I'd take them home first, to make them clean
and
Some Oranges can come in a can
how they get in there I don't understand
add water and mix
you'll get your fix
they say vitamin C is very good for a man
************
The Laundry
The Laundry is something I hate to do
and I bet that you do too
I just throw them all in
add soap and watch them spin
I mix my colors, and my whites to get through
and then there's this one:
The Laundry here is always a mess
and yes, I will confess
I mix colors with my whites
and they don't look bright
but they are clean, never the less
************
THE KNOWLEDGE they want us to learn
will only help us, in the long run to burn
there's only one truth
so what's the use
you may as well be ready when it's your turn...
burn baby burn
THE KNOWLEDGE I've learned on my own
now that all my wild oats have been sown
will help me one day
no matter what ya say
but I don't want to have to face it alone
************
Potatoes
Potatoes are real good in soup
fermented they put ya in a loop

and then there is this one
Potatoes come out of the ground
there's so many different kinds around
you can eat them all day
what more can I say
but eating them baked is the best way I found...
************
The Soap
The soap they sell now'a days
leaves the bath water with a haze
soap chemicals float
so please take note
to get back to the "natural way" phase
and
The Soap Two
The soap ya use to take a bath
could cause you a lot of wrath
if you drop the soap
bend over and hope
that no one will get in your path
and
The Soap Three
The Soap can be a lot of fun
soap yourself up until you're done
it feels real good
like ya knew it would
to stay clean just to stay out of the sun
************
The Drugs
The drugs that they give you to take
must surely be some kind'a mistake
they make you feel good
like you know they should
but you end up face down in the lake
and
The Drugs you can buy off the street
are strong and can make ya feel neat
you can go up or down
or you can go all around
you'd be amazed at the people you'll meet
and
The Drugs that they gave me all day
helped to keep the pain away
but they made me feel bad
I got depressed and sad
and didn't want to go out to play

Allayed were the rewards I earned

There was an Old Man of Nantucket
Who kept all his cash in a bucket.
His daughter, called Nan,
Ran away with a man,
And as for the bucket, Nantucket.
There was a young lady of Lucca
Whose lovers completely forsook her;
She ran up a tree
And said "Fiddle-de-dee!"
Which embarrassed the people of Lucca.
There was a Young Lady whose chin
Resembled the point of a pin:
So she had it made sharp,
And purchased a harp,
And played several tunes with her chin.
Few thought he was even a starter;
There were many who thought themselves smarter,
But he ended a PM
CH and OM
An earl and a Knight of the Garter.
There once was a man from Peru
Who had a lot of growing up to do,
He’d ring a doorbell,
then run like hell,
Until the owner shot him with a .22.
A bather whose clothing was strewed
By winds that left her quite nude
Saw a man come along
And unless we are wrong
You expected this line to be lewd.
There once was a young lady named bright
Whose speed was much faster than light
She set out one day
In a relative way
And returned on the previous night.
There was an old man with a beardMY VOICE 1
Who said, "it’s just how I feared!
Two owls and a hen
Four larks and a wren
Have all built their nests in my beard.
My voice was once good for some singing
it sounded great when I was swinging
on a high note
my voice would float
and has been known to leave ears ringing
and...
MY VOICE 2
My voice sounds scratchy like a dry bone
it even sounds that way on the phone
trust me that's ok
I've nothing to say
and just want to be left all alone
and...
MY VOICE 3
My voice now a days sounds very weak
one might think I was humble and meek
but that's not the case
just look at my face
you will find all the answers you seek

both my muse and my heart like to sing
about better days
a self educed haze
made my head spin and my both ears ring

really gave me gas that made the room stank
my belly was full
tired of this bull

invites us to fall into tatters
as we go along
singing a song
suddenly everything just shatters

AN IDIOT 1
An idiot and I talked one fine day
now that idiot has gone far away
I can't say where
but it's not here
and that same idiot is gone to stay
and then there's this one
AN IDIOT 2
An idiot can be your friend
but I never want one again
way too moody
at least for me
when I had too much I say when
************
TRYING
you may be a pill or a card
but one thing is you do try hard
take it slow
when you go
be careful not to slip on lard
************
TURTLES
If you ever saw turtles in the spring
it sure would make your sad broken heart sing
they are not snappy
they all seem sappy
and all day long they don't do anything
************
ALLOWING
Allowing things to go as they will
has given my spirit a big thrill
some more each day
goes it's own way
and I feel like the fool on the hill
************
TRANSFORMED
Transformed into less than I was
in my ear I can hear a buzz
in a crowd
it gets loud
after I shave I get new fuzz

TO UNDERSTAND 1
To understand is not easy
well at least it is not for me
every new day
in some new way
things are not the way they should be
[just how should they be anyhow?]
and...
TO UNDERSTAND 2
To understand you got to open your mind
you have no idea of the wonders you'll find
the world is a stage
and you're all the rage
when you decided to keep your nose to the grind
[what'a bloddy mess]
and..
TO UNDERSTAND 3
To understand this thing called life
has been causing me too much strife
when will it all end
every now and then
I almost wish I had a wife
[but only almost]

THE LAUNDRY 1
The laundry soon gets out of hand
no matter how life may seem planned
but it just don't seem right
to do laundry at night
and I still do not understand
and...
THE LAUNDRY 2
The laundry possesses its ways
of breeding a brightness that stays
while water gets murkey
the clothes get all perky
oh how I do hate laundry days
and...
THE LAUNDRY 3
The laundry needs to be done a certain way
or at least that's what I hear my mother say
don't mix color and white
if you want them real bright
I'll wait to do my laundry some other day
[when she's not around]
and...
THE LAUNDRY 4
The laundry sits there in a big pile
it begins to smell after awhile
it needs to be done
but laundry's no fun
I hope this Limerick brings you a smile
[or at least a smirk]

CONDEMNED 1
Condemned here I sit all alone
I've turned off my desk telephone
locked up the door
don't want no more

God has a plan that's just for me

SOME CONCEPTS 1
Some concepts of life's true meaning
to me need a real good cleaning
they got it wrong
it won't be long
everything we know will be leaning
[to one side or the other]
and...
SOME CONCEPTS 2
Some concepts of Art and Poetry
don't mean very much at all to me
if it comes from your heart
it just has to be art
that much should be very plain to see
[art is everywhere; look for it]

SOME CONCEPTS 3
Some concepts folks have of a God
make me tired and want to nod
I just get board

Some concepts conceived late at night

COMPASSION 1
Compassion is a great quality
why don't you show some of it to me

it's easy to do
and will help to set your spirit free
and...
COMPASSION 2
Compassion is so hard to find
it's starting to work on my mind
not one person cares
about sharing shares

COMPASSION 3
Compassion is a wonderful virtue
it's easy for me to care about you
it may not show

COMPASSION 4
Compassion is a very wonderful virtue
it is so easy for me to care about you

OUR LOSTNESS 1
Our lostness is out of control
we're lost all the way to our soul
don't make a big fuss
nothing can save us
just keep in mind at least we're whole
[or as whole as we can be considering...]
and...
OUR LOSTNESS 2
Our lostness may very well plea
it's the time to use maps to see
just where we are
too near or far
from where we are supposed to be
[are we there yet?]
and...
OUR LOSTNESS 3
Our lostness is not our own fault
to keep "knowing" locked in a vault
was not my plan
I don't understand
and always thought I was the salt
[the salt of the land]

THE WOUNDS 3
The wounds left a nasty old scar
late last night while driving my car
she said to me

The wounds may heal with time

Relax and relax and relax,
since life is some form of an ax
that will chop
if you stop
ever paying your income tax
and...
Relax 2
Relax all the laws of the world
and Nature may seem none too swirled!
rose colored glasses
are for pure asses
who pay just to get their hair curled
and...
Relax 3
Relax is what humans must do
when life is a horrible zoo
like my every day
with nothing to say
about I will ever get through
and...
Relax 4
Relax the constraints on my breath,
and I then may scream for huge death
while up all night
by the moonlight
doing an ounce of crystal meth

IDEALLY 1
Ideally your ideals are ideal
any idea how that makes me feel

when we do get together to dine
it won't be too late
we're meeting at eight

THE LEFTOVERS 1
The leftovers just sat there on the table
not even one of us awake were able
to clean up the mess
and I will confess
I don't believe in Christmas or the fable
and...
THE LEFTOVERS 2
The leftovers will make a nice soup
to return some time in the meal loop
with rice and veggies
we'll all get wedgies
if and when we stand up as a group
[eat your soup and like it]
and..
THE LEFTOVERS 3
The leftovers sit in the refrigerator
they can all be re-heated a little later
after all they're still good
and I do wish I could
meet the new girl on the block feed her and date her
[if she likes leftovers]

THE LEFTOVERS 4
The leftovers from yesterdays meal
once re-heated always seem to heal
desires to eat
more turkey meat

while out in the wood

admission was free

A year didn't change anything
my head spins and both my ears ring
seems I just can't win
so I hold it in
watching sunrise as the birds sing
and:
A YEAR 6
A year has three hundred-sixty-five days
and can change us all in so many ways
we just get older
some what less bolder
on the stage called life living out life's plays
************
A DAY 1
A day with out a report from you
only makes me and my muse real blue
your words inspire
as I perspire
until the Limericks I write are through
and:
A DAY 2
A day spent alone can be fun
a nice long walk when day is done
is good for the body
much like a hot toddy
it's too hot to walk in the sun
and:
A DAY 3
A day I will never forget
is a day I still do regret
I made a mistake
that day near the lake
as we sat and watched the sun set
and:
A DAY 4
A day unlike any day before
was the day I evened up the score
it did take some work
but I got the jerk
and will not be bothered any more
and:
A DAY 5
A day that I like to hold dear
and please let me make this real clear
comes every four years
so please have no fears
when now and then we have leap year
and:
A DAY 6
A day I will never forget
was one of the very best days yet
we spent the day
so much to say
near the lake watching the sun set
and:
A DAY 7
A day in the life of this man
maybe too hard to understand
just know what I do
I do just for you
and that I do have a set plan
and:
A DAY 8
A day has both some dark and light
it's sunny and then we have night
twelve hours each
we all want peace
and for it we're willing to fight
and:
A DAY 9
A day has but twenty-four hours
plenty of time to take long showers
and wash your head
once out of bed
then take a walk to pick some flowers

THE BUSINESS 1
The business at hand they say
is getting through each new day
the best you can
and maybe then
things will start to go your way
and
THE BUSINESS 2
The business of business they told me
is to get as much as you can free
plus make some money
and this is funny
always be the best that you can be
and
THE BUSINESS 3
The business is not going well
the whole idea went straight to hell
things are real rough
I've had enough
I guess it's time for me to sell
and
THE BUSINESS 4
The business you told me your in
is tuff and there's no way to win
but still you try
I don't know why
you work so hard it is a sin
and
THE BUSINESS 5
The business you told me you do
is not the best thing now for you
you need to relax
do not send that fax
just go home now your day is through
and
THE BUSINESS 6
The business world is upside down
there's just too much business around
I don't stand a chance
much like with romance
I'm lost and always act the clown
and
THE BUSINESS 7
The business I used to do
was fun but them days are through
I sit and write
into the night
and sometimes I draw now too

TO BLAME 1
To blame anyone but yourself they say
is wrong and I'm here to tell you today
they are so right
and they just might
be the right ones to show you the right way
and:
TO BLAME 2

and it's so right
I relax and go with the flow
and:
TO BLAME 3
To blame me for what just went down
makes me look like a freaking clown
tell me what did I do
I didn't mention you
you're to well known around this town
and:
TO BLAME 4
To blame me when you know it's you
is not the best thing you can do
want to try again
at least be my friend
and please don't tell me that we're through
and:
TO BLAME 5
To blame the other guy is real wrong
like the gong show they will ring the gong
you're out of here
it's not so fair
but let's face it you can't sing a song
************
PERSISTENCE 1
Persistence is one of my traits
I don't like to go out on dates
keeps me in line
when I do dine
I get senior citizen rates
and:
PERSISTENCE 2
Persistence persuaded Percy
to be a little more like me
which made me smile
all of the while
he was busy climbing a tree
and:

Persistence is not a bad thing
sticking to it makes your heart sing
you reach your goal
and in your soul
you're real proud and feel like a King
and:
PERSISTENCE 4
Persistence is a good quality
and I hope you can see it in me
you know I do try
and that I know why

is after all just another word
ya do what ya can
again and again
and even when your vision is blurred

THE SEXES 1
The sexes seem to fight all the time
and there is no good reason or rhyme
can't say it's not fair
they both have long hair
and can choose between lemon or lime
and:
THE SEXES 2
The sexes really have no plan
they are both hard to understand
women are from Venus
men Mars, with a penis
they'd both like to rule this great land
and:
THE SEXES 3
The sexes we all can choose from
are only two so don't act dumb
be male or female
don't put it on sale
but now and then give me a crumb
and:
THE SEXES 4
The sexes have to go through trials
that may or may not bring some smiles
it's a long road
a heavy load
to get by you got to walk miles
and:
THE SEXES 5
The sexes are the same every where
men and women just don't seem to care
they wear the same clothes
yet I do suppose
that is expect for their underwear
and:
THE SEXES 6
The sexes want freedom to hoist
a real loud and very strong voice
to make it clear
freedom is here
and no one has very much choice
and:
THE SEXES 7
The sexes get sexier each day
or at least that's what I heard them say
so what can you do
to help me and you
push ahead and find the correct way

AS STORMS 1
As storms pass by over this small town
it seems I'm the only one around
it's quiet and dark
here in the park
and I guess I must look like a clown
[all dressed up with no place to go]
and:
AS STORMS 2
As storms go this one's not too bad
although it has made me a bit sad
I will be OK
later on today
dressed up in polka dot and plaid
[looking like a clown]
and:

As storms pass by and leave their mark
I feel like I'm left in the dark
don't know what to do
when I think about you

AS STORMS 4
As storms pass by over here
it's dark and the sky's not clear
I want to hide
away inside
with every thing I hold dear
[me and my shadow]
and:
AS STORMS 5
As storms go this one's a real doozy
started over some silly floozy
don't care how ya word it

As storms make a change in the weather
I felt good till I read your letter

and you made it clear
things between us will not get better
[or any worse]

As Storms 7
As storms go this one wasn't bad
I got hurt and felt a bit sad
but now it's all right
we made up last night
the best sex that we ever had

As Storms 8
As storms tend to decimate life
an old man gets another wife
to take care of him
married on a whim
her words can cut just like a knife
and:
As Storms 9
As storms come this way now and then
I'm ok if I got a friend
to stay with me
maybe we'll see
the pot of gold at rainbows end
and:
As Storms 10
As storms pass right through here with out warning
in the afternoon, evening or morning
I swallow my pride
and just stay inside
feeling so lost and some what forlorning
[forlorning: is that a word?]
and:
As Storms 11
As storms are good for the earth
I wonder what they are worth
a little rain
keeps us all sane
and starts another rebirth

Fresh rosemary is sold at the store

and I'm thinking that I just might
go eat one now
maybe somehow

[long empty nights]
and:
SWEET ORANGES 4
Sweet oranges make a great juice
I buy mine from some guy called Bruce
who runs around town
selling by the pound
from a small cart pulled by his moose
[or is that muse]
and:
SWEET ORANGES 5
Sweet oranges, grapefruit and Pineapple
a few eggs, some buttered toast and scrapple
makes a fine morning meal
just to help you to feel
your very best and not look so dapple
[your skin is gray and spotted?]

that burns while cooking and gets smelly
and:
SOUR GRAPES 2
Sour grapes grow on the vine
they can not be used for wine
but they have a use
to make sour juice
add some sugar they'll taste fine
and:
SOUR GRAPES 3
Sour grapes don't make a good juice
try as you might there is no use
why do they grow
I just don't know
maybe we should just call a truce
and:

the calories go straight to your hips
purple or white

when you eat them you realize they suck
so you spit them out
then begin to shout
and then you just start to run a muck

that it is time for you to take a stand
and:
DEVOTION 5
Devotion to being devoted they say
will get you through the worse times of night and day
keep your nose to the grind
and then you just might find
all things will work out for you in it's own way
and:
DEVOTION 6
Devotion to things that I do like
for example riding my Motor Bike
there is a great thrill
better than a pill
riding your Harley down the turn pike
and:
DEVOTION 7
Devotion is a good quality
you need it if you want to be free
so why take a chance
on a new romance
when you know that's not where you should be

THE WEATHER 1
The weather today is real bad
all that snow out there makes me sad
there's no place to go
because of the snow
this is the worse winter I've had
and:
THE WEATHER 2
The weather here in my home town
is cold and there's snow on the ground
every things white
and very bright
can't go outside and walk around
and:
THE WEATHER 3
The weather is out of my control
to have heat I am burning some coal
also some wood
just like I should
refusing to let it take it's toll
and:
THE WEATHER 4
The weather took a turn for the worse
and all of the water pipes have burst
there's ice in the street
and it looks real neat
but now what can I do for my thirst
and:
THE WEATHER 5
The weather is a lady they say
it will change from day to day to day
I have no control
but deep in my soul
I know weather is really OK
and:
THE WEATHER 6
The weather here the past few days
changed for the worse in many ways
a lot of snow
no place to go
inside is where smart people stays

COLLECTIONS 1
Collections of Silver Sols from Peru
from the mint in Lima when it was new
sit here in a folder
for when I get older
but I know they don't mean a lot to you
and:
COLLECTIONS 2
Collections of silver coins I brought home
when I was younger and I could still roam
sit safely in a box
I've a key for the locks
protected by leprechauns and some gnomes
and:
COLLECTIONS 3
Collections collected by collectors
gone over carefully by inspectors
may have some value
for me and for you
but won't pass through the metal detectors
and:
COLLECTIONS 4
Collections of things found in lobbies
put together can create hobbies
for the young and old
and now you've been told
British Police are still called Bobbies

they just hang there
why should I care
to purchase any thing I saw

taken care of will forever last
just keep them clean
know what I mean
because they go up in value fast

TRADITIONS 1
Traditions can be a real pain
some of them are damn near insane
like on Holidays
going to plays
and walking out in the cold rain
and:
TRADITIONS 2
Traditions folks have adhered to
are always there waiting for you
so carry them on
and try to be strong
doing the best that you can do
and:
TRADITIONS 3
Traditions traditionally
just don't do very much for me
get a real grasp
forget the past
try something new to set you free
and:
TRADITIONS 4
Traditions passed down from the past
can be silly or a real blast
some make sense
knowing whence
they came from and that they will last
and:
TRADITIONS 5
Traditions praticied in my family
to this very day are still good for me
a nice family meal
will help one to heal
around the table's a nice place to be
and:
TRADITIONS 6
Traditions praticed on holidays
are still carried out the same old ways
one things for certain
you will be hurting
if you do change tradition some days
and:
TRADITIONS 7
Traditions all over the whole world
can get mixed up and a little swirlled
but to my suprise
I've got happy eyes
so far today I still haven't hurled
and:
TRADITIONS 8
Traditions traditionally suck
lets face it none will bring you good luck
to mother and father
they are not a bother
but I don't like goose, lamb, or baked duck
and:
TRADITIONS 9
Traditions in my family
always worked real well for me
on holidays
every thing stays
exactly the way it should be

MIDWEEK 1
Midweek late one early summers night
I decided that I would just might
go down the way
hang out and stay
laid back hiding way out of plain sight
and:
MIDWEEK 2
Midweek on a day just like today
I went on down the way just to play
it was kind'a neat
hanging on the street
I like to visit but don't want to stay
and:
MIDWEEK 3
Midweek comes round every seven days
I don't care if midweek goes or stays
surrounded by sound
when I go downtown
tickets are cheaper for midweek plays
and:
MIDWEEK 4
Midweek seems to stay here with me
things aren't the way I'd have them be
each day is the same
tired, weak and lame
but at least my spirit is free
and:
MIDWEEK 5
Midweek is not such a rotten time
folks are tired and commit less crime
the streets are quiet
you can't deny it
there's a whole lot less low life slime
and:
MIDWEEK 6
Midweek mid summer one midnight
I sat by my monitors light
passing time by
my muse and I
just don't think it's wrong to write right
and:
MIDWEEK 7
Midweek isn't much fun if you work
or sit by your computer and lurk
time goes by slow
and so you'll know
as I write this I'm wearing a smirk
**************
MY BEDDING 1
My bedding may soon be for sale
the headboard, mattress and rail
a hospital bed
I'll use instead
since I'm tried, weak and so frail
and
MY BEDDING 2
"My bedding is a comfort" I've said
I'm safe when I'm in my own bed
so nice and warm
safe from the storm
dreams of days gone by fill my head
and:
MY BEDDING 3
My bedding is the best you can buy
I fall asleep and don't even try
when I hit the sack
there's no coming back
because in my dreams I can fly
and:
MY BEDDING 4
My bedding is contemnor
and it was given to me for free
friends own the store
when I want more
I can go pick any thing I see
and:
MY BEDDING 5
My bedding has got to be clean
I am sure you know what I mean
after a hot night
of holding you tight
a wet spot forms right on the scene
and:
MY BEDDING 6
My bedding is warm and clean
I'm sure you know what I mean
changed every day
I got to say
my sleep time is pretty lean
and
MY BEDDING 7
My bedding awaits my sore body
a very safe place for me to be
when I rest my head
you'd think I was dead
because it takes a lot to wake me
and
MY BEDDING
My bedding has a nice wood head board
with a notch for each time that I scored
so if you want to
there's a spot for you
if you need to be loved and adored
**************
YOUR SLEDDING 1
Your sledding is bringing me down
I watch you and feel like a clown
I'm just too old
not very bold
I don't know why I hang around
and:
YOUR SLEDDING 2
Your sledding keeps you busy all day
and I do not want to hear you say
you have no fun
when you are done
because all you do lately is play
and:
YOUR SLEDDING 3
Your sledding with friends down the hill
when it's snowing gives you a thrill
you may dress real warm
while out in the storm
yet I fear you will take a spill
and:
YOUR SLEDDING 4
Your sledding takes a toll on me
this is not the way it should be
you're in a hurry
while I just worry
because you go to fast to see
and:
YOUR SLEDDING 5
Your sledding with friends all day long
helps you to grow real big and strong
you may not care
but that fresh air
could never do you any wrong
and:
YOUR SLEDDING 6
Your sledding is really scaring me
you go way to fast for me to see
try to slow down
on frozen ground
before you crash into a big tree
and:
YOUR SLEDDING 7
Your sledding down the old Killer Hill
is OK if you don't take a spill
now I am not pushing
but you need some cushion
sooner or later I know you will
**************
RELAXING 1
Relaxing alone in the sun room
the flowers are all starting to bloom
they look real neat
and smell so sweet
they remind me a bit of perfume
and:
RELAXING 2
Relaxing is good for your head
why not spend the whole day in bed
forget the time
it's not a crime
no matter what any one said
and:
RELAXING 3
Relaxing out side under the sun
eating a fresh baked cinnamon bun
while reading a book
that I just took
as a gift from a kind local nun
and:
RELAXING 4
Relaxing all day long recently
is really starting to get to me
I feel like a jerk
because I can't work
this is not the way I'd have things be
and:
RELAXING 5
Relaxing is good for your heart
if you don't then it's time to start
sitting quietly
just watching TV
eating snack food that makes you fart
and:
RELAXING 6
Relaxing alone here with you
is something that I love to do
we cuddle up
with our new pup
who wants to go out side to poo
and:
RELAXING 7
Relaxing can be a lot of fun
after your hard day of work is done
have a hot meal
then you will feel
much better and not under the gun
and:
RELAXING 8
Relaxing is hard for me to do
after all that I have just been through
please do not gawk
since I can't walk
just hope this never happens to you
and:
RELAXING 9
Relaxing relaxes your soul
and helps you to feel more than whole
sit there real quiet
you won't denigh it
life can some times take a real toll

THE BEACHES 1
The beaches I see on TV
look really beautiful to me
the sand is white
and late at night
it's a wonderful place to be
and:
THE BEACHES 2
The beaches that surround a place
that is gone now with out a trace
are waiting to
become a new
and see you and your pretty face
and:
THE BEACHES 3
The beaches that we have around here
are dirty and the waters not clear
they are too crowded
and if you doubt it
maybe you should take time to go there
and:
THE BEACHES 4
The beaches not too far from my home
on an island that I once would roam
were all pure white
and late at night
would be loaded with some weird sea foam
and:
THE BEACHES 5
The beaches you see in a movie
all look fun and must be real groovy
but where can they be
and are they all free
to a tourist or a real newbie
and:
THE BEACHES 6
The beaches I saw way down in Peru
are real good for swimming and surfing too
the waves are large
and as a barge
floats by you try to find something to do
and:
THE BEACHES 7
The beaches in Colombia S A
are a wonderful place to stay and play
the sun's pretty hot
and there just is not
any one thing that will get in your way
and:
THE BEACHES 8
The beaches way down in Ecuador
are gray and black and in fact what's more
they've the puka shell
any one can sell
if they know what puka shells are for
and:
THE BEACHES 9
The beaches that I saw in my past
so pretty the memory will last
forever and a day
so what more can I say
but my time there went by way too fast
and:
THE BEACHES 10
The beaches that allow dogs to run free
are not the best place for humans to be
and if you knew why
I know you would cry
and pray the poo would get washed out to sea

is just what makes me want to stay

want to get high
and go out in the sun to play
and:
WHAT PROGRESS 2

may be hard for me to understand
it's not always good
and just like I should
I am ready and do have a plan
and:
WHAT PROGRESS 3
What progress I've made in the past
may just not be able to last
I'm getting weaker
and need a seeker

has Mother Nature all in a rage
she's so upset
and you can bet
that life is much more than just a stage

has got simple peoples minds swirled
now they wear shoes
and got the blues
paint their nails and get their hair curled
and:
WHAT PROGRESS 6
What progress is to one just might be
the end of the world if you can see
the earth is a garden
and I beg your pardon
but humans were meant to live care free
and:
WHAT PROGRESS 7
What progress we have made this year
leaves us both with nothing to fear
everything's ok
it is a good day
there's no reason to shed a tear
and:
WHAT PROGRESS 8
What progress mans made out in space
can you see the smile on his face
out in the stars
even on Mars
still searching for a better place
and:
WHAT PROGRESS 9
What progress we have made as mere men
can be debated again my friend
if is it good
and if you could
would do the thing over again

SOME TRAFFIC 1
Some traffic that passes by here
comes way too close and I do fear
the volume will grown
in case you don't know
the car exhaust makes my eyes tear
and:
SOME TRAFFIC 2
Some traffic stuck on an exit ramp
the other day when foggy and damp
just stood real s
till I took a pill
and then picked up some hitch hiking tramp
and:
SOME TRAFFIC 3
Some traffic I was in the other day
was really starting to get in my way
I beeped my horn
as if to warn
others to pick a lane and in it stay
and:
SOME TRAFFIC 4
Some traffic forms a bottle neck
which of course can lead to a wreck
I'm tired and spent
from my accident
but no one seems to give a heck
and:
SOME TRAFFIC 5
Some traffic on the local expressway
was tied up for hours the other day
it just wasn't fair
too much sun glare
blinded people; at least that's what they say
and:
SOME TRAFFIC 6
Some traffic on the busy turnpike
whizzed by me while I tried to hitch hike
no one would stop
expect a cop
but he was riding a motor bike
and:
SOME TRAFFIC 7
Some traffic out during rush hour
moves slower than any old flower
growing in the sun
and it is no fun
when we are having a snow shower
and:
SOME TRAFFIC 8
Some traffic I was in the other day
moved really slow and just got in my way
what the fuck!!
I was stuck
and in the bottle neck I had to stay
and:
SOME TRAFFIC 9
Some traffic reporters have said
drive carefully or you'll be dead
please just take it slow
where ever you go
don't use gasoline that has lead

DEMOCRACY 1
Democracy is a good thing indeed
so spread the word and try to plant the seed
where ever you go
so others will know
for our freedom we are willing to bleed
and:
DEMOCRACY 2
Democracy is so democratic
I've got some trouble with my sciatic
when it is damp
I get a cramp
and my TV is nothing but static
and:
DEMOCRACY 3
Democracy seems to work ok
or at least that's what some people say
and you can gloat
because you vote
I think I'll stay in the USA
and:
DEMOCRACY 4
Democracy for all I heard them say
and in fact it was just the other day
but what do they know
and where do they go
when they go out all night to get away
and:
DEMOCRACY 5
Democracy is real good for us all
in a corner with your back to the wall
please do take note
you can go vote
and make a change to everything you saw
and:
DEMOCRACY 6
Democracy is a wonderful thing
you can't hear the cracked Liberty Bell ring
it hasn't been fixed
since seventy six
when the city had a bell ringing fling
**************
LESS CARNAGE 1
Less carnage I hear the people scream
and I am sure they are all a team
it last all night
why do they fight
I'm wondering if this is a dream
and:
LESS CARNAGE 2
Less carnage is a very good plan
it is time that we all understand
and face up to facts
we need to relax
since we all have taken a firm stand
and:
LESS CARNAGE 3
Less carnage than we all had before
is exactly what fate had in store
for all gods people
and a church steeple
why you laying face down on the floor
and:
LESS CARNAGE 4
Less carnage would slow things way down
to give time to a circus clown
just to relax
and face the facts
clowns aren't popular in this town
and:
LESS CARNAGE
Less carnage would be a real good thing
perhaps someone should talk to the King
this has to stop
we need a cop
the noise is so loud both my ears ring

where marked in bright red for me to see
yet try as I might
I can't get it right
aren't things exactly as they should be

and what the heck
please send something in enlighting
and:
CORRECTIONS 4
Corrections corrected the mess
the manager had to confess
it was all his fault
he's locked in the vault
deciding to take more or less
and:
CORRECTIONS 5
Corrections that must now be made
will help me to make the best grade
so by the lamp light
I study all night
until dawns light causes night to fade
and:
CORRECTIONS 6
Corrections facilities are the pits
everyone there is doing their own bits
time goes so slow
and so you know
just to survive you got to use your wits
and:

Corrections officers are the worse
it as if they can all cast a curse
they are so large
and they're in charge
to get along you must fill their purse
**************
SECURITY 1
Security is what I want
don't piss and moan or even grunt
take care of me

windows and doors
mats on the floors
are monitored by someone called Lenny
and:

Security just don't come cheap
it's hard to hold on to and keep
but it's so good
and so you should
not go in the water too deep
and:
SECURITY 4
Security at the big game
was lacking a lot and real lame
the guards were all drunk
they stunk like a skunk
wondering just who they could blame
and:
SECURITY 5
Security is a good thing
for presidents, queens and a king
but what about me
It's so clear to see
I'm not just here today to sing
and:
SECURITY 6
Security is tighter than before
and I don't think I can take too much more
just to get through
they must search you
making you drop your pants down to the floor

SECURITY 7
Security alarms are in place
and they are hidden with out a trace
they're watching you
things that you do
and the smile on your pretty face
and:
SECURITY 8
Security secured by some guards
that have to stand outside in front yards
keeping their eye
on the bad guy
asking for things like their ID cards
and:

Security is the issue any more
they will search you right when you walk in the door
they got a selector
a metal detector
they want to know exactly what you came for
**************
BIG WARFARES 1
Big warfares continue to grow
the media lets us all know
what they want to
they lie to you
and leave no other place to go
and:
BIG WARFARES 2
Big warfares through out History
to me remain a mystery
they all had a plan
I don't understand
like a cold wind so blistery
and:
BIG WARFARES 3
Big warfares create great big trouble
we need to get fixed on the double
let's call a cease
try to find peace
and break the old war mongers bubble

BIG WARFARES 4
Big warfares demand a real good plan
that's not really hard to understand
you need the right knack
planning the attack
to kill woman child and man
and:

Big warfares go on all the time
I'm not saying it ain't a crime
it's all too bad
and makes me sad
while drinking my rum with some lime

Big warfares cost a lot of money
and let's face it that's not too funny
the money we waste
on wars and in space
could go towards a Playboy Bunny

a breakfast that goes to your head
and lasts all day
what can I say
I think it's time to go back to bed

at the corner store
I need my money to buy beer

I cooked them up
with a nice cup
of coffee that was adorning

THESE RHYMES 1
These rhymes that you like have found the mark
I like being with you in the dark
all through the night
hugging up tight
until dawn when we hear a dog bark

he'll sit and bark

Ceviche 1
Ceviche is a dish I ate
while in Peru one night real late
soaked in some lime
it cost a dime
and to be honest it was great
