Remember Kent Statelong hair a sign of rebellion
a leveler for rich and poor
"no money for a hair cut?"
"no problem - you're styling!"

Who's KentYes I believe,
the fastest speed will evaporate your need-
you wanted nothing to complicate your heed,
you wanted what was best and to overcome greed,
yes I believe-
the fastest speed will evaporate your need,
nothing complicating your head or even the next bed,
nothing to spend because you know that's...

Clark KentMetropolis didn't have any more phone booths which wasn't fair,
Clark Kent now having to change out in the open air,
one day while he was changing,
elderly ladies started fainting,
thinking he was some stripper from Chippendales....

Lady from KentA lubricious lady from Kent
one night to a nightclub she went;
there, she spied a young guy
thought she'd give it a try;
turned out, given that up for Lent!
So she lingered around at the bar;
when soon entered a Jolly Jack Tar.
Hello sailor, she said,
will you take me...

Sorry About That, Mister KentIt’s true. We are the largest newspaper in the nation.
We are far and away number one in circulation.
We need an elite writer to fill this position.
There must be someone talented for the morning edition.
Mr. Kent, could you elaborate on each stint
since the Daily Planet...

Kent
Come to live in Kent
A lovely place to be.
Close to the continent.
Next the lovely sea.
The garden of England
growing houses fast.
Come to see what's planned,
while the stocks last.
Houses...

Motorised Saucepans In Kentisn't it? kent fog burger faces driving in a motorised saucepan.
A nine foot rod is better than a three foot stick and a three foot stick outsmarts any microfiber jewel encrusted steel bow when attempting to cast over to catch, kill and consume. Oh pearly...

Lament of Mister KentRemember when you first kissed me -- in Spain
Why'd you have to put me through all that -- pain
You led me to believe
Now I just sit and grieve
Superman has swept you away -- Miss Lane

Ohio and Kent State
Ohio and Kent State
were far away from Australia.
But like America, the Vietnam war
hung like a noose around
the collective neck of the Nation.
We were fired by a cause,
an innocence born out
of a belief that a voice could be
louder than the gun.
Banners and protest choked

Clark KentMy glasses, like some current styles,
Large, circular and black,
Are reminiscent of some frames
From quite a few years back.
I rarely wear them in the house;
My sight up close is fine,
But when I head outside they are
A signature of mine.
On FaceTime with my brother,
If I’ve just...

One Who Repents Oneself RepaintsTry to picture one who repents.
It's like one who oneself repaints
Ten liters of paint is lot of money
Try to price it: It's not funny.
While good and bad paint cost a lot
What God just wants is "What we've got."
For those who finally repent
Your big house lost...

So long ago, St Martyrs Field Road was there my home
There is the huge Martyrs monument of witch burning, oh
Forty-three names on the stone, mine will be the new one
I am the forty-fourth, yes, very famous my life of witchcraft
So many times I watched from...
