Rainbow Fairy Floss By The Seashore
RAINBOW FAIRY FLOSS BY THE SEASHORE
From the 4th diary entry of Stewy Lemmon's childhood adventures.
We had a whale of a time last weekend on a trip with my family to the seaside resort named Slipslopslap Bay. It is located about three hours from my home.
Once we arrived at our rented holiday wood cabin put our clothes away in the wardrobe and placed our food in the fridge, we all decided as a family what we would do next.
My Mum, Flo, took my younger brother, Lemmy, to the local carnival for rides, drinks and even some pink...

Water Off A Duck’s Back
WATER OFF A DUCK’S BACK
From the 3rd diary entry of Stewy Lemmon's childhood adventures.
This week's fun times and great adventures with Smoochy started at the small village pond, just down the road from my home. Which remember, is nestled amongst the trees on a hill in a little country town called, 'Shimmerleedimmerlee'.
While down at the small village pond, I was feeding Buck the Duck, the wild duck that I have been feeding since I was about four years old. I noticed the water level had dropped down, since my last visit to the pond. I was...

Sore Bare Feet With Yellow Tail
SORE BARE FEET WITH YELLOW TAIL
From the 2nd diary entry of Stewy Lemmon's childhood adventures.
Its been almost two weeks now, since our unforgettable funny night of the colourful fruit falling down on us. So, I decided to take Smoochy for a walk through our village and then up and over the town's nearby grassy green hills.
When all of a sudden, I noticed a strange, gigantic and really colourful object in the near distance. I picked up Smoochy and put him in my top left-hand side pocket. I then took off my thongs...

A Colourful Fruit Blast
A COLOURFUL FRUIT BLAST
From the 1st diary entry of Stewy Lemmon's childhood adventures.
Hi, my name is Stewy Lemmon and I’m your normal, everyday, friendly, country boy, who lives about 2 hours away from the big city lights. My family’s home is nestled amongst the trees on a hill in a little country village called, 'Shimmerleedimmerlee'.
It's located just a little north west from the famous town of Bearfeet Ridge. Famous of course, because of the mysterious and rarely seen yellow tailed bear family, that is said to inhabit the...

With A Tight Rope Noose
My blues they come from those cotton days
Black slaves bought by southern racist ways
Cruel white leaders, and if our lips were to loose
This would be our ending with a tight rope noose
Simple chords, with lyrics of choice
A wealthy white boy searching for voice
Colored teaching whites, but ends with abuse
Everything ending with a tight rope noose
I brought my blues from the cotton days
Black folks appalled by others racist ways
Country of white leaders, if our lips were to loose
Everything ending with a tight rope...

The King Of The Castle
The King of the castle
Looking for answers
Workers working
He starts thinking
They are so nice
They would all like their own slice
It can’t be so
He goes back in time
And thinks no more.

‘Bout Da Blues
The blues spoke out loud, as the very first person, to me
Talkin' 'bout movin' on and leavin' your troubles behind
That's what the blues should feel like, like being set free
One day, a college educated black man, rather refined
Met a lean loose-jointed negro vagrant, swingin' with motion
He was a sittin' over there, between the police and the railway station
When he first heard this gifted black musician, playing his guitar
But, he'd been pulling a knife across the strings, how bizarre
It was the weirdest sound, that he ever did hear.

The Blue Dream
Hell, Blues music on my mind,
The darkest of blue days, in one's head
With a new sound beat, scratching at my dreams
So, why can’t I keep it, once out of bed?
I'm Hearing it, I’m Tuning out
Seems I have to want to feel and hear
All the blues from here to there
Blues music, then threw me to the floor
I got only one pair of ears
Don't even care, if I shed a few tears
I got only one pair of ears
Don't even care, if I shed a few tears
For this sound, I need to seek
It’s...

My Blues Are A Lifting
Started noticing it, without much sleep, the entire night
Then would reappear, at the crack of daylight
Fuzzy feelings, fainting and wheezing
Falling asleep at the wheel
Losing ones appetite for a meal
Hot sweats one moment, then went to freezing
My blues are a lifting
‘Cause the way I now feel
They are a shifting
Still take my blue pill
It makes me fit into society
Mind you, not entirely over this anxiety.

The Color Blue
When I fall out of love with my soul mate
Put me six feet under, somewhere hard to locate
For, we were only sixteen, when we both said, I do
From that day forward, I felt that I knew
But the days became months, then a few years
Boredom required a change, but that ended in tears
Turn me into the color blue
But don’t leave them a clue
Find yourself another friend
Maybe it won’t end
Treat them so well
I’ll see you in hell
Married for love, released a white peace dove
Harmony and joy, never ever to be destroyed

War Path - Sunny Daze
They once had Auction and Negro Sale signs, just up ahead
Niggers were sold dirt cheap and were going home bled
Branded them slaves, even made ‘em dig their own grave
Southern folk, had bragging’ rights, but not all brave
Did a whole lot more, than work the plantation cotton fields
History dare not repeat, that of which, the past conceals
They were once leanin’ towards a war path
They were paid, if they worked on da railway
They were laid, if they worked on da good day
They were beat, if they were to ever disobey ...
