Lummox

Once I was a dolt, a fool, a brute,
Now I am a buffoon a bumpkin and bonehead.
My birdbrain thoughts made me blunderlike, a simpleton.
Like the dunderhead nincompoop hayseed I am.
Just call me meathead.
That's me.
A radient candela.

Because There Was A Kickoff

I lost my punter
My end zone was unknown

Tight ends got as loose as my mind.
I was challenged for the play

she gave me a goal and a smile
I knew I would get an extra kick
I was love sick

My end zone was unknown
My goal as a hunter.

Classic 69

Free love, I love it
Next on the list you shove it

who sheds the tear
For the fear that we feel
The sure to be chastized
The fool at the wheel

My feeling of life
Is naught of just strife

Living with the past
Reminds me but of my wife..

I flew

I saw the great Danube last night,
Dodged a eagle in his flight.

Hovered over a weary traveler, and wished him well.
Swooped down a silvery wishing well.

I saw God in a lovely sunset.
I knew a sunrise was coming anew.

Last night I flew.

Sundry

I have a lot on my mind
Not hap hazzered
But kind

Like the smell of a puppie
Or giving a hand to a friend.

Varied things are tossed our way
Many things that make us say

Will we be thoughtful?
Will we be kind?

These sundry thoughts are a great friend of mine.

Evasive

Like a stigma etched deep in my heart,
And the free trial offer it gave.

Now hidden behind the fig leaf,
Deep in the forest,
Ashamed by the grief.

Find a blind spot to sneak up on me.
Good luck in the woods,
For like the elusive Blue Jay calling.
I am so hard to see.

Evil

I saw evil
Injected into a soul

I felt the ending of a far forgotten goal
My God forgive me

Life is happenstance
So I am told

Evil is everywhere
But the good is so bold

Be gone retched evil
Let the meek and the good
Keep you in hell
Forever to dwell
Where you should.

Amen

Fly Me To The Poet

on a wing and a prayer
on my dogs gentle hair

with your prose all so sweet
give it to me as I meet
Your feelings.

good god your so fine
Like a fine wine

Bless my life and my being
free my eyes not seeing

the guest you are in my mind
a woman to dine
for my little left time.

Kitchen jam

Justin sang bass
Shea sang tenor

Jamere and Harold would jump right in
Ricardo was banging them drums
Like an octopus picking up crumbs

kyle and chris were jamming to a rocking tune

Andy hollered a little more cheddar
Babbs said I think I just fed her

In the sky lord in the sky

Peace

As I was sucked up the vortex
Of death and destruction
No one saw my worthy life

Lest I let them see my eyes
The lust of man
The lies tears and strife

The perfume of death
Wanton gifts well planned
That end with a sigh

Then in context
Of life and bliss
Rest will eventually arrive
