Retribution
Twilight was the time of day
as well they do concur
about the hour of crepuscular dusk
or evening if you prefer
there in the gloaming
altho' the light was slightly dimmer
I took a look at the situation
and saw more than quite a glimmer
of absolute absurdity the altercation confrontation
as if every nation were to follow the Law
of Exact Retaliation an...

Hurts So GoodShe is deliciously unhappy.
Listening to heartbreak songs in minor keys, the melodies seem to flick her heart…flick,flick…Like the 4th grade bully who sneaks up behind everyone to flick an ear, thinking causing jolts of pain is the funniest thing since The Three Stooges.
Yea, that's...

Donuts Come and GoDonuts come and donuts go,
because they're round, and so
when you take them off the fire,
they're shaped like a rubber tire,
with a hole right in the middle -
they ain't no pancake from a griddle.
Where do the donuts go?
Don't ask me, I don't know....

A Donut's TaleHere's the true story of a beautiful girl.
How the sun shone on her every curl.
Like a proud oyster's flawless, crowning pearl,
she was admired from all around -
the sweetest angel in the town.
She was a ray of bright sunshine,
was good at dancing in a line,
and left everyone feeling fine -...

It's My Cherry PieMy baby made me cherry pie
And damn it tastes so fine
You can eat some cherry pie
"Just don't eat Mine"
She put cherries on the top
She put cherries in the middle
And a crust she made with almond chips
That she toasted on the griddle
I love my baby's cherry pie
I can eat...

Hunger Sleeps Standing
Hunger sleeps standing,
leaning against time,
Its door is ajar,
wanting and waiting,
for the fast to lift.
Can't miss the hand-out
when it comes,
from one hand held-out giving,
to one hand held-out receiving,
both awake and aroused....

an elephant in cellophane,
