The Fall of Man

Back then Fall called to me 
Waving the challenge of ice 
Betrayal of crunch crackle leaves 
Too many layers to move in 
Yet not enough to stand in 

Back then family needs 
Drove the hunter 
And fed the killing joy 
That flick of tail 
That raising head 
Was roasting on my table 

The need's been met 
The hunt's for joy 
I shiver more no longer boy 
And can no longer take a stand 
I catch them yes but understand 
I still require the need to know 
Before I let them go 

The simple raw of life intense 
To travel where there is no fence 
To see the beautiful of life 
In wind that cuts without a knife 
The summer's gone it's blown away 
The Fall is running day by day 
As full of joy I'm led astray 
By they who live in present tense 
Supplying me with recompense

Buck Cup

Drink from buck cup - hiccup!
Shot booze - snooze zzzzzzzs
Bee buzz. Honey in tea for me
One eye open, need buck cup
Lucky cup, supper drink a cup
Of brewed cinnamon brew too
Blues on the radio, sip. Dip
Cookie, I'm no rookie to drip
Drip, coffee smells fill the room
Smoking cigarettes, no regrets
Filling the pages without gloom
Fruit juice with my coffee morn
A new day is born. No morning
Can start my day without dismay
I can say it's the day of mourning
No scorning, no spanky, no hanky
Angels on high, sigh a sign of relief
That grief has left, deaf to my ear
No fear, no more tears, no jeering
Just pretty earrings, pearls of oysters
Oyster crackers in my soup. Scoop
A story with glory to the flags on
The wall. Eagles in the hall, tall and
Small.  On the walls: fish and dishes,
Tall tales, whales, foxes, boxes of
Dishes - I wish forever more to store
My things and bring happiness to 
Those without a doubt. In a drought
I have water. Slaughter a cow, how 
Else can you grill without the kill.
Still waters run deep in my buck cup.
I will still hiccup, and supper potluck.

COULDN'T WAIT TO GET HOME

TODAY TO YOU YOUR ALL I THOUGHT ABOUT

ALL DAY I WANTED TO LEAVE EARLY FROM WORK TO 

COME HOME TO YOU

BUT I COULDN'T WELL I'M HERE NOW

I WANT YOU TO COME TO ME LIKE I IMAGINE ALL DAY TODAY

OOH YOU SMELL SO GOOD I CAN'T WAIT TO TASTE YOU

I KNOW I SHOULDN'T BUT I CAN'T HELP IT

JUST A NIBBLE OR TWO NOBODY

WILL KNOW BUT YOU AND I

YOUR SO CREAMY YOU JUST MELT IN MY MOUTH

JUST A LITTLE MORE

I SWEAR THEN I'LL STOP

BUT I CAN'T IT'S TOO GOOD TO STOP NOW

NIBBLE AND NIBBLE UNTIL IT'S ALL GONE

MAN I GOTTA GET MORE OF THIS
