NYC 1963
The studio on 4th Street was the place they needed to be
Hope & determination was in their minds, that they can change society
They were considered the outcasts outside of their community
Songs being created in Greenwich Village that weren't so rare
Strings being strummed by poets, ideas to influence others
It began with Woodie Guthrie and exploded with Bob Dylan
In the evening, the beatniks and the long haired girls came too
Coffee shops heard their words
And when the next day came they took action
The blue collared army
Their eyes &...

Lucio Fulci
Italian director Lucio Fulci,
began his career during the 1950's
By the early 1970's, Giallo thrillers,
mysterious shockers, who is the killer?
A Lizard in Woman's Skin
Sette Note in Nero
Don't Torture a Duckling
Sella d'argento
1979 the maestro switched to gore,
Zombi was graphic, the audience wanted more
Paura nella cittą dei morti viventi
L'aldilą
Quella villa accanto al cimitero
The Gates of Hell Trilogy
Fulci's finest hour
executed with brilliancy
Lo squartatore di New York ...

July 1976 - July 1977
It all started out, when he was born
he lived a life of rage and scorn
a sick attitude against his family
his mind is wicked, murder was his fantasy
Pursuing his motives he takes your life
with shotgun in hand, you scream in fright
and now its your time to die
takes out his weapon and aims between the eyes
He called himself the Son of Sam
all your lives will soon be damned
.44 caliber special bulldog revolver
the heads of his victims looked like peach cobbler
Locked in a cell for all his life
many...

Smoke-Free For One Year
There's one thing that's perfectly clear.
I have been smoke-free for one year.
The last cigarette that I smoked was in 2023 at 11:45 PM on New Year's Eve.
I stopped smoking and you can quit even though it may be hard to believe.
Please let it be your New Year's resolution to stop smoking.
I was able to kick the habit and so can you and I'm not joking.

It Beats Living Out On The City Streets
There are some of us
who agree that letting
a blonde teen appear
naked in a porn movie
or two is not a good
idea. But one thing is
for sure. It beats living
out on the city streets.

The 50th Anniversary of Jack Benny's Death
He brought laughter and he was important to many.
He died fifty years ago and his name was Jack Benny.
Mel Blanc appeared quite often on Jack's show.
At the age of eighty, it was Benny's time to go.
If Jack had died one day earlier, he would've died on Christmas Day.
He was a very talented individual who died half a century ago today.
Jack was an actor and it's an actor's job to pretend.
He went into a coma before he died and it was sad because it was the end.

This Guy's Indeed In His Happy Place
You
could say
that once I'm
inside my own
apartment, this guy's
indeed in his happy
place for he could do what it
is without having anyone...
including his family... come to
drive him out of his mind whatsoever.

Last meeting for Peace
Potatoes danced under silver umbrellas.
Always jumping screws in a replay scene.
Silk stockings flew as light as hippos...
A political party is always pure clowning.

You All Deserve Praise
I'm not writing a tribute to one particular person or even several.
I'm just going to say to all that are following me, THANK YOU!
Your all very unique in your own ways. No one is better or greater then the other. We're all equals here.
I read your poems, I comment. I occasionally give an award and many of you have done the same for me.
It's appreciated beyond what I can write here.
To the DUP community that I'm in contact with everyday. You know who you are. I have lots of respect for all of you.
You intrigue me, enlighten me, you've influenced me...

Sanity or Insanity
Illusion or reality
Sane or insanity
Demons running through my veins
There's nothing I would ever change
Network damage - Connection Split
Input - Output - Complete Shit
Illusion or reality
Sane or insanity
Harsh stories & poems run through my brain
Inside my body, a madman reigns
It's my reality
It's my illusion
It's my burning pain
Never one for a New Years Resolution
The one thing I'll never refuse to give up
Is to screw with people's minds
Ya know....Fuck shit up!! ...

Rest In Peace, Hazel V
One year ago tonight, I had to watch as your life came to an end.
It was sad to witness your demise and I felt so much pain within.
You died in 2023 on the 9th of December.
You'll be a dog who I'll always remember.
When I saw you die, it was sad to know that you would have no tomorrow.
Each and every person who has lost a dog can understand my sorrow.
Last year, you didn't live long enough to see Christmas arrive.
Rest In Peace, Hazel, I certainly am sorry that you didn't survive.

Is It Going To Be Good Or Bad For Us?
Though we celebrate it's coming, we don't know what the new year would bring.
