Bipolar Med BetsSeroquel made me sleep and gain weight,
Abilify constantly made me pace,
But Paxil made me lose my cool,
Plus talk too much like a fool,
And Geodon gave me insomnia of late...
So either fattened up in a grog,
To the point of being a...

Ballad
Bets On Christmas CowChristmas Cow wanted to be a reindeer for sure.
He had a special hat made, and he made his heart pure.
His neighbors thought it was hilarious and funny.
His friends bet each other some real money,
That Christmas Cow would become a snowman too.
They were not surprised...

choose only one corridor
or not to be there, or nowhere
and lose all what we plan for

there will be a seat to acquire
to bet on the right card you had to...

Critterature: Place Your BetsA yak and a yeti made a bet
To see which one was the hairiest.
The yak was an ox,

Had already won as the scariest.
Neither had the allure
Of the latest coiffure,
They were unkempt and creasy and craggy.
Then a monk passing by
Judged the bet...

Where You Place Your BetsLike inadequacies, you run amok
in this foolish game of chance.
Running idle without direction,
you sit in my driveway waiting for a form of tomorrow.

I have a collection of...

Place Your BetsIs it loss to lose your child
To the world of adulthood?
Or is it a gift so precious
Made in love when all was good?

If only for love's sake?

Placing BetsPLACING BETS
restless impatient
mistakes
cold regrets of new
intakes
it takes one night too

placing bets high and
strong
holding wild cards too
close
wrecks those we love
most
shut up sit down first class let down
dark velvet midnight
talker
filthy clay grey alley
stalker
burning flames fast fuel
pace
day late ultimate
disgrace
shut up sit down first class...

White Sweetie Poodle Always Bets On RedWhite Poodle Sweetie always bets on red.
Never wins but is consistent in her bets.
