Premium Member True Grit
My  name is Mattie Ross and I hail from Yell County
In the state of Arkansas living, on a ranch with family
At the age of fourteen I suffered personal tragedy
When my father Frank Ross was taken from me.

By a lazy good for nothing drifter that...

Premium Member Once Upon a Scary Time
Lugosi lays, Chaney scares, creeps the dusk,
Price fades, Karloff, clomps, all ashes and dust,
Past-timed preferred actors all,
Scary times, hair raised, jaws fall,
Greats, long unseen, memories hold, hearts crush.

The Real Monsters
double Chaney Lugosi and Karloff
those four are the most known monsters all time
and each monster they portrayed had spinoff
I grew up with those monsters on prime time

my mother saw them in the theatres
I saw them years later on the tv
the Cheneys’ monsters hasn’t been better
today...

I was one of the best leading men in Hollywood.
Many people thought my acting was quite good!
As long as Jack L. Warner said it was so,
I would be acting in many a diverse scenario!
They would have me playing a gangster or tough guy.
My great acting...

Howling At the Moon
Tripping thru the cosmos
 just the other afternoon
I saw Cleopatra dancing 
on the dark side of the moon
I stopped by just to say hi
 and she met me with a smile
and we rode cross the Sea of Tranquility
on her favorite crocodile

I told her it was...

Mcclendon's Break
Streaking, dashing, breaking away
Up, up the tempo, the McClendon way

Getting wide and filling the lanes
Assisting the open man with two points to gain

Upbeat, back and forth, fast, and then faster
Sitting and watching, a spectator's delight, as they witness a creation by the 'Flow Master'

Yes! Breaking...

Blues For Rafaa
We worked together
in the airless cubicle gulag
on the surface of the moon
during the last ice age

Diligently scurrying under
the bright artificial lights
composing odes to poverty
with great purpose and poise

Dodging the executive ghouls
who skulked the narrow halls
Lon Chaney and Boris Karloff
howling as the villagers fled

But there he...

Etalia
Here's a thought
from a not so unusual stance
and others, perchance,
have had it too:
Suppose, through a world war three,
a mr. bush and a mr. chaney
decide to impose a new law ...
surprise!  surprise!
and it would be they have
decided to stay in office
since this grave emergency
