The thirteen days of Christmas
On the thirteenth day of Christmas, my family gave to me:
indigestion and a migraine,
12 chums incoming,
11 gripers griping,
10 uncles sleeping,
9 fights advancing,
8 fir trees wilting,
7 sozzled women,
6 nieces playing,
5 Cold Kings!
4 brawling girls,
3 quenched friends,
2 purple gloves,
and a parsnip with some spare Brie!

Working On A Rose Garden
On an icy winter morning
I get up out of bed
Roll away from the beautiful woman
Who always keeps me fed
I'd rather stay at home though
Can't satisfy my boss
With my girl I know I'm welcome
Good Lord, my woman's soft
I head out to the pickup
That's never let me down
Then race out to the jobsite
Just outside of town
They work me like a rented mule
Be good and dirty 'fore I'm through
Well that's fine And I don't mind
Just a thing a man must do
Well I know my woman loves me
And she knows I love her too ...
I get up out of bed
Roll away from the beautiful woman
Who always keeps me fed
I'd rather stay at home though
Can't satisfy my boss
With my girl I know I'm welcome
Good Lord, my woman's soft
I head out to the pickup
That's never let me down
Then race out to the jobsite
Just outside of town
They work me like a rented mule
Be good and dirty 'fore I'm through
Well that's fine And I don't mind
Just a thing a man must do
Well I know my woman loves me
And she knows I love her too ...

Now or now
.. ...
Love is calling
Unexpected
I'm ready
It's a warning
So seductive
I'm melting
I'm a river
She's the ocean
I remember
I remember
She's like ... ... a memory
How long ... ... has it been?
Too long
Too long
Is she ... ... the one I want ?
She is ... ... unavoidable
Now or never
Now or now
Now, now, now
...
Love is calling
Unexpected
I'm ready
Budding romance
Autumn trees
New beginning
Hell is dying ...
Love is calling
Unexpected
I'm ready
It's a warning
So seductive
I'm melting
I'm a river
She's the ocean
I remember
I remember
She's like ... ... a memory
How long ... ... has it been?
Too long
Too long
Is she ... ... the one I want ?
She is ... ... unavoidable
Now or never
Now or now
Now, now, now
...
Love is calling
Unexpected
I'm ready
Budding romance
Autumn trees
New beginning
Hell is dying ...

3 Seeds - (lyrics)
Youth learn with emulating minds
Be the sound maestros of their lives
Teach them to express empathy,
kindness and everything you know
Of humility and self-esteem;
As harvests reap the seeds you sow
Proud parents who express no love
Raise their children down so low
Once planted in an open heart
the seeds of hatred sprout then grow
Pride injects a hypnotic high,
enslaving egos in it's flow
Craving ever more, then crashing
from withdrawal addicts come to know
Three seeds of prejudice raise a
misguided spirit down so...
Be the sound maestros of their lives
Teach them to express empathy,
kindness and everything you know
Of humility and self-esteem;
As harvests reap the seeds you sow
Proud parents who express no love
Raise their children down so low
Once planted in an open heart
the seeds of hatred sprout then grow
Pride injects a hypnotic high,
enslaving egos in it's flow
Craving ever more, then crashing
from withdrawal addicts come to know
Three seeds of prejudice raise a
misguided spirit down so...

Revelry
The morning pangs still drum out revelry
but now are cast aside in this self-made leprosy
ten days gone might as well be a thousand
but no one's counting when you're already suffering
So I hit the shelf and pour out some punishment
get riled up on CNN and the government
I burn my songs with a lifetime effigy
senseless days long lost in the wondering
Midday comes and the smoke's still stuttering
life's a mess, as my mind keeps uttering
ten days gone might as well be a thousand
but no one's counting when you're...

senseless days long lost in the wondering

Pay me my Respect
Flow so nasty and putrid like it's a pile of vomit.
I swear with patience and dedication my dreams will take off like a comet.
I got the sauce, the juice it's drippin baby
Lost soul trapped in a cold world come save me.
They say pop a percocet it numbs the pain,
But not a drug in this world that can stop me from going insane in the brain.
Can't no one control me like I'm some damn ventriloquist dummy being ridiculed for your amusement.
I swear none of you can compete with me, I mean why compete where you don't compare.
Ain't no playing fair,...
I swear with patience and dedication my dreams will take off like a comet.
I got the sauce, the juice it's drippin baby
Lost soul trapped in a cold world come save me.
They say pop a percocet it numbs the pain,
But not a drug in this world that can stop me from going insane in the brain.
Can't no one control me like I'm some damn ventriloquist dummy being ridiculed for your amusement.
I swear none of you can compete with me, I mean why compete where you don't compare.
Ain't no playing fair,...

POETDITTY
(Sung to the tune of Waylon Jennings' "Momma Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys"-intended to be funny not inflammatory, after all I'm a member of the tribe)
*"Momma don’t let your babies"
grow up to be poets
don’t let’em write stanzas
or live in a loft
expose ‘em to hard labor
before they go soft
"Momma don’t let your babies"
grow up to be poets
they always complain
and the best are insane
pining for someone they love
* Quoted verbatim from Waylon Jennings' song,...

Cracked Ribs
When I inhale
It’s so painful
When I exhale
It’s still stressful
I can’t even sigh
How can something
So hurtful
Keep me alive
It hurts to breathe
And yet I’m still here
Words have a way of
Pushing me down
They have their way
Of not making a sound
My hearts too big
It doesn’t fit
But forgiveness
Expands brittle ribs
His words, they crack my ribs
His works, they crack my ribs
Someone
Please make it stop
Someone
Please help me call the cops ...
It’s so painful
When I exhale
It’s still stressful
I can’t even sigh
How can something
So hurtful
Keep me alive
It hurts to breathe
And yet I’m still here
Words have a way of
Pushing me down
They have their way
Of not making a sound
My hearts too big
It doesn’t fit
But forgiveness
Expands brittle ribs
His words, they crack my ribs
His works, they crack my ribs
Someone
Please make it stop
Someone
Please help me call the cops ...

Keep Trying
You lost your pieces trying to fix or save
Someone else and when you looked in
The mirror you are never too happy with
What you see. Baby I know that you gave
Your love, trust and it never felt like a win.
Trying is something you imagine like a myth
And do not let that keep you from giving up
Because when you are thinking that your cup
Is half empty it is really half full. You have so
Much to offer the world. Your smile and glow
Are your secret weapons. Never let the world
Take it away from you. Your toes are curled
Up in...
Someone else and when you looked in
The mirror you are never too happy with
What you see. Baby I know that you gave
Your love, trust and it never felt like a win.
Trying is something you imagine like a myth
And do not let that keep you from giving up
Because when you are thinking that your cup
Is half empty it is really half full. You have so
Much to offer the world. Your smile and glow
Are your secret weapons. Never let the world
Take it away from you. Your toes are curled

Your Bed of Flowers
Remember those sunsets on your bed
Looking out at those cigarette towers
Nights, when, together our hearts bled
Where seconds passed, measured in hours
Sometimes, when I'm at my last strand
And the darkness never seems to leave
I reach through time to hold your hand
Back in your arms where 'least I believed
Now I lay alone at night in the moonshine
Smoking long cigarettes into early hours
By morning's slow rise up over the pine
I'll be passed out by your bed of flowers
Looking out at those cigarette towers
Nights, when, together our hearts bled
Where seconds passed, measured in hours
Sometimes, when I'm at my last strand
And the darkness never seems to leave
I reach through time to hold your hand
Back in your arms where 'least I believed
Now I lay alone at night in the moonshine
Smoking long cigarettes into early hours
By morning's slow rise up over the pine
I'll be passed out by your bed of flowers

When Creation Says It's Time
(Verse 1) In a darkened sky where stars align,
The universe gave us a love divine.
Guiding paths through the cosmic dance,
We found each other, a fateful chance.
(Chorus) Mother Nature tied us, a celestial tether,
We were one, so bound together.
But our love it was sacred dance, a tender rhyme,
Perhaps we will love again when creation says it’s time.
(Verse 2) As constellations whisper tales untold,
Our story written in stardust, pure and bold.
Yet, for now, we part with hopeful signs
The love we made as a temple...
The universe gave us a love divine.
Guiding paths through the cosmic dance,
We found each other, a fateful chance.
(Chorus) Mother Nature tied us, a celestial tether,
We were one, so bound together.
But our love it was sacred dance, a tender rhyme,
Perhaps we will love again when creation says it’s time.
(Verse 2) As constellations whisper tales untold,
Our story written in stardust, pure and bold.
Yet, for now, we part with hopeful signs
The love we made as a temple...
