Jeff W. Watson Poet Rhyme

Just Another Day In my Mind

Here inside my Mind
There's lots of things to find
Like an Attic 
There I go back 
In Time 

Now you may think me mad
But everything there to be had
Is Magical 
And Mystical 
Never thought bad

There I think the things that I thought 
Of all the lessons taught 
Lessons from the past
Lessons that last
Of Battles fought 

I learned from my Master 
Lessons learned are lasters
I was quick to learn
In my mind the lessons were burned 
In fact, I was so good, I turned my Master's face to Alabaster 

But there was no fake Magic
No type of Trick tragic 
The lessons that I learned were practical
In that way they were magical 
Never drastic 

The only thing is my Attic is haunted
Me the Ghost has taunted 
There's something evil
About the old devil
That's something that I never wanted 

My Master used his wisdom 
To close up my Mind's schism 
Me he wouldn't tell 
What was it in his Spell
He gave me an Exorsism 

My mind he did heal
And better I did feel 
But one thing went wrong 
I forgot how to sing my Songs 
And that makes me feel surreal 

At least I can still dance 
While wearing my Black Suit, Cane and Hat
I wouldn't take a chance 
About it to rave and rant 
Not cause I can, I can't 

Here's the thing
What to me it means 
Yes, I'm with the Band
With them I can still jam
But my son's I can no longer sing

Now, I'm a Drummer 
And it's a bummer
That I can't sing my own songs
Something went wrong 
Maybe it's the heat of the hot, humid Summer?

I asked my Master a lot
I was suffering from can't sing Singers Shock
He said, "I will research it, you see."
And then he came back to me 
He said, "Your Mind has a Writer's Block."

Then he said, "We have to reverse the Spell 
"And bring back the devil from hell"
"Now, he's running a little bit Pell Mell"
"Of doing more damage there's no way to tell."
"Let's just hope that everything goes swell."

So, on this Dark Stormy Night 
My Master told me to close my eyes
And then he did me Hypnotize
He then summoned The Lord Of The Flies
To come with no surprise 

Some new Spell my Master said
In my mind, something rushed in undead 
He was trying to reverse 
What he thought was this curse
My eyes flashed open and they were both Blood -Red

My Master knew that this was going to be hard 
So he decided to turn over a Friendly Card
He turned over a red Ace
And saw the devil's face 
And the devil made me attack my Master

I fought with myself 
I didn't want to hurt anyone else
It was quite a show 
Then all of a sudden, the devil let go
But I still needed my Master's help 

My Master decided that he needed to do the Exorcism backward 
And to also say backward the Holy Words
He thought to use a Cross in this War
The Raven Bird said, "Evermore."

Well, I knew what that was for 
What surprised me is that he also had a sword
The whole thing was quite ludicrous 
Such a strange deranged scene was this 
My Master slowly said, "Let us begin."

The whole thing was quite Ludacrous
Such a strange deranged scene as this 
My Master slowly said, "Let's begin."
"And finally try to destroy the devil and his sin."
The devil howled and hissed

My Master did the Cross take 
And set it on my head to make
My Body Blessed 
He was doing his best 
And with the Sword he asked The Lord
For strength, for God's sake 

I fought with myself 
I did want to hurt anyone else 
It was a quick show
Then the devil let go
But I still needed my Master's help 

The devil cried out and screamed 
He made a terrible surreal scene 
The devil fought mean
Harder than my Master had ever seen
While My Master was trying to reverse the Curse on me

We fought the devil all night long
To get me back to singing my songs
The devil fought tough
But we fought tough
The devil did draw some blood, just enough 

Before My Master and my blood-shot Eyes
There was waiting a real surprise 
Angels and Saints came down from on high
I asked what?
My Master said so I don't die

The Angels and Saints that came down from above
We're The Angels and Saints of Love 
They cast the devil aside
But he couldn't run and hide 
There was nothing to save himself that he could think of 

On Saint was the Arch Angle Michael 
And the other Angel was Arch Angle Raphael 
The attached the devil two on one
The Battle had truly begun 
To send the devil back to hell

Saints Michael and Raphael 
Tag-Teamed the devil 
To get rid of this foul evil
The interviened so that devil couldn't seal
Me in the devil's deal

Saint Michael was to fight the devil first 
He grabbed him by the arms and recited a Bible Verse 
The lowly devil fell down 
Saint Michael really laid him down 
And he waited for the devil to do his worst 

Saint Raphael was next
With his wings spread, he really gave him heck
He grabbed the devil by his neck 
And the Lord's Prayer he said 
The devil became a wreck 

It was Saint Michael's turn again 
He cried, "I'll get him in the end."
Then he said, "Back to hell, he I will send 
My foul evil friend 
He wanted to play the game to the end, but he didn't know when 

Now again, it was Raphael's turn 
To send this devil back to burn 
He said wore a holy Cross Charm and from his eyes a blaze that cut clean off the devil's arm
The devil had lost his nerve 

This wasn't like before 
Saint Raphael was determined to end the war 
He opened up the Perception Door
This was something more 
He loosed the Holy Angels and Saints board

Now, how did we end the war, you say
On That fateful day
With all of the Players in play?
We held sway 
The devil simply ran away 

Yes, that's just another day in my Mind
I hope it delightful you did find 
That's the way of my Brain 
Makes some people insane 
Happens every time 

The Moral of the Story is just this:
An insane Brain 
Keeps the devil away 
More or Less...
