BLONDE – ABSENT MINDED OR FAIR?
CLIENT
Goodness, gracious me,
Come over here and see,
How did you dare,
You have no flair,
My hair now’s dark,
It should be fair,
You’ve cut too much,
Let go don’t clutch,
I asked for just a trim,
You said your name is Kim?
Kim, you’ve made a mess,
I must confess.
I wanted fair and long,
Hello –ding dong!,
Can’t you even hear,
My absent minded dear,
My color’s on,
But now you say that some,
Colors do not take,
Don’t tell me you’re a fake!
You offer me a cup of tea,
But all you brought was cold coffee,
And now it’s time to rinse,
But your phone rings, its Prince,
My colors on and burning,
I’m going bald,
And all because Prince called!
You check your watch, you’re sorry,
And tell me not to worry,
But my hair has almost gone,
When I walked in here it shone,
Now I have to buy a wig,
This my husband will not dig!
You even want me to pay,
For having been treated this way,
Oh goodness gracious me,
I step out for the world to see,
What you have done to me!
ANSWER FROM A DISGRUNTLED EMPLOYEE
Well, let me tell you Mrs. Tea,
I tried my best,
But you put me to the test,
I want it short, no keep it long,
I held my tongue in order to,
Be strong,
You want it dark and then
Quite fair,
How did I dare,
To take you on,
For I am not a con!
And if Prince decides to ring,
He’s the most important thing,
That has ever come my way,
In my dreary job of little pay,
I’m sure that I’ll be fired,
But am absolutely,
Sick and tired,
Of answering to every whim,
I’ve had a grim
Few weeks, so if you want to leave,
I do not care and will not grieve,
In fact I’ll say so long,
My dear,
Don’t ever take a step,
Near here.
EAVESDROPPER
Ladies please shut up,
We have heard quite enough,
Of this awkward conversation,
Goodness what a situation,
I have to however say,
That after today,
Kim, I will never dare,
To let you do my hair,
For you are both unfair.
And as for you Mrs. Tea,
Even if a got a hairdo free,
I would never again come near,
If either of you are still here!
Thar was once an old buckaroo named Hank,
Who was very absent-minded and lank.
He told his hoss to skedaddle,
Fergittin' to mount the saddle.
'Twas not the first time old Hank drew a blank!

at times i feel as if the world is coming down on me
but the only reason is because i refuse the truth to see
its always been there right there
but i failed to look there i thought i looked eveywhere
i didnt want to change you or save you
i just wanted you to realize theres others ways the world to view
i let myself love you to much
i let myself get to close to use to your touch
why did i stay when i knew that the right thing was to leave
why did i accept all you did even though in you i didnt believe
i waited for you to see the good in me
i even let you mistreat me, abuse me even lie and cheat
it was all in vane because after six years im stuck
all i got was a good high and sometimes a good suck
now you got me how you wanted sittin like a duck
pregnant and straight down on my luck
one thing you fail to realize is that i never needed you
you needed me and that was my fuel
i lived off knowing that with out you be lost
and even though you always hurt me we stayed together at all cost
i have always knew that what i had to do
but my plans always failed and lead me back to you
i was a different i am adifferent person around you
when it came to us i couldnt think out the box i was consumed
emotionally mentally i was extremely confused
but how was i if i always knew what i had to do.
i never understood why you never wanted to see things my way
it was always forget what i thought and what i say
but i still found it in my heart to love and care for you easily
i just wanted you to see, love me for me unconditionally
there was a time when i would of put for you my life on the line
but today is a new day and i decided you were never mine
it is easy to say goodbye when there is no sweet or no bittersweet memories
all we had was a routine that never was good for our lives
so on this note i have to just say good bye
ps. please be good and do what you have to do. its all about you

"What's your story?"
she questions,
"you seem interesting."
wildflower eyes
~SIDE-NOTE:
I reply, "NOW." (Kwan$aba! Ha! Really,
often people become confused
by such a unique response
not this one...
she's a beauty
shiny minded stone
lives warm under veins
lacks definition of alone
tho solo she stands
tallest green blade
unscathed
each time the oily blade passes above
erect
she stays the same
tingling pulses exhale her pores
she'd rather sink
than have to think the way of worldly whores
still...
malice skips her
no ripples in the lake
dripping from her face
sunshine slips across tangerine cheeks
gold flows throughout waves
streaming locks
sky clear eyes surprise those
choosing to be consumed
by her entice
hands free of envy
no webs to spin
hips unmolested
thighs slick
turpentine
be warned
she will divide you
no voodoo
or silly twisted games
though safe may escape you
blemish-less
untangled...
the girl
she
Goddess
baby of zero maybes
KNOWS....
how?
she knows
as clarity lent us its giant umbrella
her lipstick smacked my tongue
from there
we never looked back

An octogenarian visited his doctor
'I think I'm getting senile” he said
The doctor replied “I don’t think you are senile
Let’s look for a different diagnosis instead”
“But I keep forgetting to do up my fly”
The old man said “After I’ve been for a pee”
The doctor smiled and then replied
“Not opening your fly before you start, that’s senility”
I can't remember
Where did I leave my car keys?
Please don't drink and drive
For Carolyn's Contest
Don’t say that, you better knock on wood
It’s bad to spread misfortune aloud, in front of others
Don’t you know any better? Karma and jinxing are real
Hey! And get off that crack, you’ll break your mama’s back
It’s not so bad to spread misfortune aloud, in front of others
For those who did wrong doing to me and my loved ones
Hey! I’m glad to see you’re standing on that crack.
By the way send your dear mother my sincerest regards
And for those who did wrong doing to me and my loved ones
You should lasso the words escaping your mouth
Send your dear mother my sincerest regards
Just tell her I said it must blow having a child like you
You should hog tie those words before they escape your mouth
Sticks and stones could break bones, words, well they just sting
It must blow for your mom having such a shitty child, sting!
Sorry for the news flash but nobody likes you
Sticks and stones will break your bones, words just tingle
Oh you didn’t know any better? Karma and Jinxing are real
News flash! The world is better off without the likes of you
That’s why you shouldn’t say that, did you knock on wood yet?
Her smug smile smacked of smarminess,
Smouldering with self-smiting spite,
Her smartness smothered by smooth smirks
Was smashed to smoky smithereens.

Please use with the utmost moderation
As this is no normal libation
But if you must throw caution to the wind
Please do so with a most coherent friend
It tastes a bit better when sugar is added
Drink plenty of water or your hangover will be rabid
Last but not least, there's one more thing
Don't drink this before an early morning
The overhasty mind gets cluttered
often losing concentration,
not doing chores or things
rationally, but overloading
itself with unneccesary thinking;
it happens to me sometime,
leaving the car key inside the ignation!
Imagine my grumpy mood...
I get very skittish and to get that out,
it'll take a sleight of hand!
Once I made a delicious
barbacue chicken,
and left it on the grill
on low heat, because I liked it
well-done; I went back
and my yummy bird was gone...
the hungry sky-larks
snatched it away,
ate everything, but left
the bloody bones!
Absent-minded guy,
how can you slacken
on attending the most important things?
Sometimes you slip and shuffling
there's a chance you'll lose control...
that's when trouble comes in!
When was the last time
you scrambled off a ladder,
and landed into the coldest water of a pool?
All the kids watching...surely thought it was cool!
Another way of saving lots of money
is not excessive frugality,
absent-minded guy!
Get rid of the parsimony
and allow yourself to spend it wisely,
not forgetting to check the balance
in your checkbook...before going
on a shopping-spree!
Absent-minded guy,
be attentive and be aware of forgetfulness!
Double minded
Indecisiveness,
Life seems a double edged sword,
You die either way !

Sides, perspectives, religion, skin color, culture, all of the above are things that individually we all have. No matter how strongly you feel about something no one will ever 100% understand what exactly you feel about said "thing". That is why as human beings we communicate. If we had found a way to connect our minds and see through the eyes of our fellow brother or sister words would be unnecessary, and we would see nothing then. Only misunderstanding and misconceptions make us human. We try and portray perfection and right and wrong through our culture but that is also just a part of perspective. And since human beings will only know what their own personal true feelings are 100% we will never be able to reach a new level in which we would have to redraw the meaning of perfection.
Weak mindedness is a massive curse and blessing humans have. It's a curse because if someone else's actions effects you negatively you will feel inclined to approach this subject and express your distaste, whilst on the other hand it's a blessing because without it we wouldn't be able to show compassion. For example (personA) becomes friends with (personB) and (personC). Then (personA) talks about how it feels about some type of "movement" happening, (personB) might totally get what (personA) is talking about due to the fact that they share similar feelings about it. But (personC) due to human's innate weak mindedness gets upset by (personA)'s words and retaliates with some snarky comment to insult (personA). (PersonB) now having shared some of it's feelings to (personA) and coming to an common consensus("allowing [personA]'s words to effect it"), gets defensive of (personA) and attacks (personC) verbally.
The whole idea of my way of thinking is too try and subtly allow myself to take on a role in which i don't allow outward negative forces effect my life path.
The only true end to the mind is death.
Torture and suffering couldn't tear my mind from my body cause even at my last breath the only person taking that breath is me.
Think what you want about I, a envious thought, can anyone recall when a thought hurt someone?

You love to double dare,
double down
Raise the stakes and double the bet
You love to double dip,
double back
Lower the cage and shark bite thru the double mesh net
The risk of getting caught
is part of doing the crime
But you don’t care about doing the time
You love to run in the shadows,
dark places where there ain’t no sunshine
You’re one double-hearted soul
with a double mind
Cheshire grinning to yourself,
you say: look what the cat caught,
look what the dog hid
You’re so evil,
so double minded
Joker laughing to yourself,
you say: see what the marked cards bought,
see what the fake bluff bid
You’re so devilish,
so double minded
Corrupting souls and selling them into sin,
buying their integrity and then profiting
But one day, you’re gonna try to stretch your
double mind into a triple
*** ... poisoned milk bottle
Lying lips sucking the death nipple
Then you realize too late,
your boss, the Devil got a single mind
He been wanting to kill you for a long time
They said:
you were drop dead beautiful
at the funeral home
Rumor spread:
when your face hit the plate,
from the doubledecker arsenic-laced burger that you ate,
how ironic was your fate
Your suffering, scorned double-insured wife,
convenient love of your double agent life,
did your double mind in with a double cross
And in doing so,
she earned a double bonus from your boss
Your double-fanged, black widow wife
bit you with a double dose poison surprise
And her double helixes, they got wiped clean,
when all the evidence vanished from the murder scene
At your coffin,
she gave your lips a doublemint kiss,
and gave her heart a double tap with the fist
She don’t have to double over anymore
from your double-barreled gut punch lies,
now that she gave you
the big sleep, double indemnity goodbye
Eulogy slammed your memory hard
... yes she did
Plucked flowers from the graveyard,
put it on your coffin lid
Hell is glad getting you on the underground grid
You’re so devilish,
so double minded
I started to remember around four
Even the breathing began at the embryonic stage
My parents gave me complete human parts
To survive a long trip
In an unpredictable future… Upon destiny!
I grew up in the serious working ethics
And assisted the impermanent dependents.
In the past, I was under the strict regulations
But most times I was free-minded!
I feel more and more free
While moving to the golden age.
The sky was not only a nice working place
Though enhanced freedom
To fly like the plane in the air
To float like the boat in the river
Proud of myself to be a hard-working man
Live a simple life… insufficient once in a while
In any situations I always bear a pen:
A loyal friend during my long trip;
Move together until the final day.
Hopefully the footprints of a free-minded life
Will reach out the next generations!
