Improved
Build the car with thicker metal
Give it a bigger engine more power
Beef up the brakes and gear box
Improve the other things
You’ll get an improved model
Looking like the old one
But with state of the art
Features full of benefits
Ride drive like the winds
Nobody and nothing to stop you
A souped up Olds Mobile
Give it some on the road
Ride to meet the Devil

Father, don't ever let that cape fall off...
Vivid dreams...lucid dreams
Forever Wondering of what could've been
Had u taken the time to allow ur fatherly side to be...
Father I wish u could've stayed...
For this I strongly prayed...
Stayed and watched her blossom instead of running off until ur shoes had no bottom
You could've stayed and protected her instead of watching her be plagued...
Plagued by the disease of growing up without her father and letting men make her belief she had no other...
You are the one that opened up the door to the violence she suffers in silence.
You were meant to be her hero but instead ended up being drawn to the iron streets like Magnito,
Father wake up,
Sit up, step up, and beef up on that love you have inside...
For your daughter in you, she shall forever reside.
Quick, soul search before she leaves forever in that hearse...
Reveal that side, that they call soft...father don't let that cape fall off.

Yer briny whore
akin to boar
wit' mangy hide 'n scurvy-pocked
chomped 'n chewed
me black 'n blue
wit' carnassial chompers as of croc
Be curs'd, yer nit
me ample bits
equated ter yer own be nowt
yerz be carnivorous
scaly 'n scabrous
yer plaque be axed ter beef up grout
Uncomely wench
yer skunky stench
blunted me hook 'n scorched me beard
me peepers stung
me hornpipe hung
shorn ter th' bone 'n shrivelled 'n seared
Comely 'n curvy
riddled wit' scurvy
th' cap'n's whore-maid tooken yer whole
yer rat o' th' sea
holed and *****
yer fired yer cannon in a rottin' port'ole
Blow me down, lover!! I love it when we talk dirty.
(Hahahaha. I see the Soup powers-that-be deleted my word. I swear it's not used as a swearword. The word rhymes with "hussy". lol)

Driving to Nick's wedding,
Cant help but think...
Is there anyone there besides him I want to see?
Not really..
There's aunt Shirley,,
She always, always, always wants to squeeze and kiss my cheek
I'm not five and I'm not a geek,
Bless her soul, my softer side will be in deep need
Grandpa Bill,
Oh man, he's so chill,
Usually in his rocker with a beer,
Maybe he'll rock it on the dance floor,
My spirits will need a lot of help,
Nick bought the Vodka, and he's poor.
The bride will be gorgeous,
One bridesmaid I've never met
I'm skeptical because it's Nick's Ex.
No way I'd have a ex lover there,
For sure we tearing at each others hair,
Maybe that will beef up the party!
Cat fights are fun to watch,
Hopefully doesn't go too far,
Don't want the paramedics calling by her last name, “Ms. Gerardi”
I'll know soon enough..
Finishing this road trip is a must

she couldn’t get a tan that would make the grade round prom time &
so off to the cancer cocoons she went,
cooking herself crisp &
as orange as barbecued chicken---
after the prom & all of the
comments on her appearance which
beef up her ego,
she decides that this look has to be the one that stays &
on & on
the routine continues throughout the year
cooking herself
until a perpetual nonhuman glow
emits from her body 24/7 &
at home, at night,
nobody needs a night light anymore,
because she can lead the way through the dark
like a light stick that has just been cracked
before being flung around at a rave---
inviting all the basal cell cancer, squamous cell
carcinoma & melanoma,
she goes to sleep displeased with her natural beauty,
bathed in a tangerine tint &
dreams of better days when she can walk in cali
with her head held high.

you try to make something
important when it really isn’t---
and you find yourself starring things
and placing special little symbols
like when you tell your friends all
of the key points on why you are
dating so and so or why it is that you
have stayed at a job for so long or
why it is that you haven’t really
had any kind of personal growth
for years or why you have that gut
or why you got that plastic surgery
or why you tan in the winter months
or why you buy 10 million pairs of
shoes or why it is that you go to
the gym to try and beef up yourself
or why you pretend you know how
to do things that you really don’t
when you are talking to someone that
you think is more important than they
really are and then you know the
cycle begins again---make sure to place
an asterisk next to it.

When you feign sincerity
to beef up your power
of persuasion,
for a while you'll seem
to succeed without the least
hesitation.
But in time your words
will be a lousy power point
presentation,
all power and presentation
of your notion without a point
of illumination.
