The Hanging Judge
Would Clarence Thomas be trump's hanging judge
with his trumpish way of distorting truths,
he seems to harbour some deep-seated grudge
would Clarence Thomas be trump's hanging judge?
It don't look like it would take much of a nudge
and, he'll get saved in his confession booth,
would Clarence Thomas be trump's hanging judge
with his trumpish way of distorting truths?

Man is the Bastard
The bastard is man
Criminal from birth
Dealt a malicious hand
The bastard is man
Eternally damned
Many have been hurt
The bastard is man
Criminal from birth
Criminal from birth
Dealt a malicious hand
The bastard is man
Eternally damned
Many have been hurt
The bastard is man
Criminal from birth

It is strange today, I feel sad
bought a new cell phone and sensed it was too expensive
I never liked spending money on myself makes
I feel guilty, like I do not deserve it.
I bought a suit when I was twenty a nice suit I bought
in Stockholm, it soon got too small, and I gave it
to my sister's husband.
Being the stinting sort, he wore it until it fell off.
When a child, I never wore anything new
only hand-me-down
I was OK with that.
The phone is black, and I feel intimidated by its sternness
when I switch it on,...

My Voodoo Dolls
My voodoo dolls just do not work
that Pukin's not gone straight to hell
nor tRump, that dirty grifting jerk,
my voodoo dolls don't seem to work,
I've tried gold pins for what that's worth
and blood of bat and chanted spells
beneath blood moons, I haven't shirked,
my voodoo dolls don't seem to work.
No faltering in their foul smirks
as they ring freedom's death knell bell
in their bloodied vile fascist kirk
no faltering of their sick smirks,
And then I find by some strange quirk
why my dark arts don't work too...
that Pukin's not gone straight to hell
nor tRump, that dirty grifting jerk,
my voodoo dolls don't seem to work,
I've tried gold pins for what that's worth
and blood of bat and chanted spells
beneath blood moons, I haven't shirked,
my voodoo dolls don't seem to work.
No faltering in their foul smirks
as they ring freedom's death knell bell
in their bloodied vile fascist kirk
no faltering of their sick smirks,
And then I find by some strange quirk

August
Stifling August weather heat
Never enjoyed this time of year
Practically naked, from my head to my feet
Stifling August weather heat
Ice Cream, Sorbet, or some other refreshing treat
Lifestyle dominated by oppressive thoughts
Stifling August weather heat
Never enjoyed this time of year.

Manic Paddy
I hate those jolly TV shows
with the host so shrieking happy,
basked in fan's imbecilic glows
I hate those jolly TV shows,
From Jane or Joe's first screamed hello
I'm hurled to a manic paddy,
I hate those jolly TV shows
with the host so shrieking happy...
with the host so shrieking happy,
basked in fan's imbecilic glows
I hate those jolly TV shows,
From Jane or Joe's first screamed hello
I'm hurled to a manic paddy,
I hate those jolly TV shows
with the host so shrieking happy...

The Rubber Room
I'm stuck inside this villanelle
( I should've tried a triolet)
there's no peace in these foreign dells
I'm stuck inside this villanelle,
I'm confused now, it's hard to tell...
a Villanelle or roundelay?
am I inside a villanelle
Sonnet or some DAMN triolet!
Released, free from my villanelle
( madness can sneak up day by day)
the stress and strain, a telling bell,
Release Thyself From Villanehell!
A little voice inside me yells
" a habit forming...

The Minotaur
The Queen of Crete's bull-headed lad
thought the rumour a load of bull,
'bout a wild bull... being his dad?
the Queen of Crete's bull-headed lad,
saw red, stomped and snorted, got mad,
felt the labyrinth's peaceful pull,
the Queen of Crete's bull-headed lad
once thought rumours a load of bull...
thought the rumour a load of bull,
'bout a wild bull... being his dad?
the Queen of Crete's bull-headed lad,
saw red, stomped and snorted, got mad,
felt the labyrinth's peaceful pull,
the Queen of Crete's bull-headed lad
once thought rumours a load of bull...

The Cavalry
A plague on all your houses sir
and so it was it came to pass
even the plague has concurred
a plague on all your houses sir,
I can not speak but I have heard
death's silent rattle to the past
this plague on all your houses sirs
and so it is, it came, they pass.
*
I stretch my mind for future word
to say '' all is well in this time ''
I strain, ''new strain'' is all I've heard
I stretch my mind for future word,
with futile pen I...

His Mouth Organ
His mouth-organ plays such sweet tunes
under supple lip and quick tongue,
so skillfully he makes it croon
his mouth-organ plays such sweet tunes,
And me, child-like, am not immune
to this Pied Piper piping come...
His mouth organ plays such sweet tunes
under supple lip and quick tongue.
under supple lip and quick tongue,
so skillfully he makes it croon
his mouth-organ plays such sweet tunes,
And me, child-like, am not immune
to this Pied Piper piping come...

Gone...
My life stopped when my Mother died
but not so much when Pa past on,
I tried to grieve I tried and tried
my life stopped when my Mother died,
I self harmed, burned thighs, arms, cried, cried
how could you do this to me... gone?
My life stopped when my Mother died

My Simple Dream
I wish to be a simple dream
not needing to be woken up
all in the dark to this world's schemes
I wish to be a simple dream...
Slumbering through eternity
to have no need to eat nor sup,
I wish to be a simple dream
not needing to be woken up.
not needing to be woken up
all in the dark to this world's schemes
I wish to be a simple dream...
Slumbering through eternity
to have no need to eat nor sup,
I wish to be a simple dream
not needing to be woken up.
