Giant balls of tumbleweed were blowing down the main street
And off the Sierra Nevada mountains there blew a fine sleet
It was late December in the old Western town of Milton Creek
Preparations were under way for the start of Christmas week.

Mayor Tom had called a council...

My favorite President is yet to be
  He may well not go down in history
For he'll do what really needs to be done
  Antagonizing almost everyone under the sun

First he'll fix Social Security; it's running short of cash
  Upping retirement age to...

‘Twas the night before Christmas, I was almost asleep
The house was so quiet, you could not hear a peep
I woke from a loud crash and a knock at the door
It must be my late delivery from the corner store

To my surprise St. Nicholas was standing...

Mums Kitchen.

If I went back to the house of my childhood days,
I'm sure I'd see mum in the kitchen, as my eyes start to glaze.
Busily moving pots and pans from the stove to the sink,
I would hold onto that vision afraid just to blink.

Her blue...

No Toilet Paper

My mind is boggled. 
What is with the Coronavirus mania? 
Why is everyone going freaking nuts over this? 
From what this writer understands, 
It is much like the regular flu, 
Which is killing thousands as we speak, and 
Hospitalizing even more. And this...

Frankie boy, go get my gun
Here comes those 
pitchfork carrying citizens

They’re so scary angry and uninformed
Holding torches, they plan on 
doing more than burn crosses on our lawn

Frankie boy, load up the old shotgun
Time to send those
trespassing rabble rousers on the run

Lead pellets gonna spray...

Hey Mr president don't take 
us to war
Don't load up your guns to settle a score 
Your soldiers will gladly give you their lives 
Please don't feed them  bull , rhetoric and lies



Hey Mr president please save us the earth 
Take a look at your...

The three little pigs came to the ball
Tried to blow the castle down
It didn’t work
It was made of solid gold
So they gave up and sat at their trough 
Ate noisily 
And snorted quite a lot

They started poor Sneezy off
His allergies he couldn’t control
Living up to...

We are the neighbors
Who live down your street
We are the ones 
Who your kids love to hate

We are the ones who actually sit outside
Watching our children while they are at play
Making sure all of the children
On the street are behaved

To many drive-bys by gangs
Over drugs...

AN APPETITE FOR SOCKS


We load up our washing machine,
With clothes that practically, weigh a ton,
But why is it when we put in a pair of socks,
And then open the dryer door, we only find one?

Our washer and dryer is like the Bermuda Triangle,
We always deposit...

A pretty oak  sits outside my window pane in the snow and in the rain 
Covered with life, outside the balcony fifty steps away 
Decorating the tree with  flashes of red, black, grey,  yellow and white, 
are his friends the cardinals ,...

Hey all you nice people, got a fantastic idea
Let's party, we could load up on beer and pizza
Maybe dance in the moonlight
While trying to remain upright
In spite of downing six bottles of tequila

Hey bruh, 
haven’t you heard,
ain’t you read the news?
The White House is gonna eradicate 
the fear infested inner city blues
That Trump fella says,
he’s got his poison pen ready to use
He says black folks got nothing going for ‘em,
so what have they got to lose
He’s gonna...

As you ended our video call,
You suited up,
Helmet,
Armor,
Gun.
Just another day in that god forsaken place,
As soon as you stepped off the plane it felt like being in an oven.
But hey,
What did you expect.
The boys and you all load up into the Humvee and take off...

It all seems so simple
To load up the vaccine
Bang
Cure this world of my existence

Every problem has a solution
Now matter how bad you screw it up
It can all be fixed
In one concentrated flash

Everything's gray
Everything's spiraling gray in this world
Every shade between void white and pitch black
So,...
