long hair                 a sign of rebellion
	a leveler  for rich and poor

"no money for a hair cut?"
"no problem - you're styling!"

the flannel credo 
cheap and colorful
soft, softer, old and...

Who's Kent
Yes 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 Kent
Metropolis 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....

Premium Member Lady from Kent
A 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...

Premium Member Sorry About That, Mister Kent
It’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...

Kneeling, head bowed, the old

          Knight remained still, though his

Knobby and enfeebled

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 Kent
isn'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...

Premium Member Lament of Mister Kent
Remember 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

Premium Member 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 
the...

Clark Kent
My 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 Repaints
Try 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...

Canterbury

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...

there was a daring young rake named Kent
who spent much time with a married woman from Trent
till it was said
they were caught in her bed
and the husband in his head put a dent
