outstretched hands reach for her
groping in the night

Ol' Claus was drunk from strong bourbon whiskey 
Then touched Rudolph and tried to get frisky
Rudolph said no way
Us deer's are not gay
And placed a hoof print on his fat hiney...

When she hears him snore
she slips out of bed.
And tends to her cheeks
that he’d slapped bright red.

Locked in the bathroom,
she breaks down and cries.

even though she tries.

He calls her a pig
because of her weight.
And then forces sex
when his needs won’t wait.

I usually don't talk about rainbows.
I'd rather talk about farmers or crows.

But if you pierce a rainbow, does it not bleed?
Into one color, for every intention, desire, and need?

Brothers and sisters and cousins and nephews,
I care not how descends your Muse.

Listen to the string meant...

Someone hurt monster's feelings, so he decided to eat.
He ate a toaster, cord and all, quite a great treat.
Devoured a couple of chickens, one with two crooked feet.
Slathered up a bowl of gravy with carrots and one beat.

Monster was still sad, so he ate a...

D: Dream
E: expires
A: and
T: truth

My hair tries to define me
I laugh in her straggly non- curls
Hoping to shame me, she taunts me
About being messy and unkempt

Together we could be a social disgrace
except only she cares, wanting a brushing,
regular combs run through her, etcetera.
She is much more prissy than I...

*** Satan Tries to Strike ***

By the house,
By the door
	coming in
	across the floor
To kneel by my bed,
My guardian angel came
Carrying ways to hold the peace
	of our Lord,
To restore the joy in my morn…

And, to wait no longer, but help to wake me 
	from a ...

All I can be if it’s left up to me
Is a brain in a tank full of bubbles
Can’t hear it, can’t see it, I only can be it, 
And that’s just the start of my troubles

It was no disease that killed most of me

A bumpy toad jumped on my nose and refused to get off.
I tried to gross him out, much phlegm I garnered in a cough.
He was determined and held on tightly with his webbed toes.
I was irritated because after all, it is my own private nose.

Come...

Cletus O'Toole tested the slopes at Vail

   He met some trees as he sped t'ward the vale

      'Twas a short-lived journey

Derek tried to satisfy his mother, so he gave his horse a drink.
Then he knit the horse some earmuffs, they were pretty soft and pink.
You need to give the horse a lift and a break said his brother.
He looks ridiculous carrying that horse, argued Derek’s...

The man who tries
To hide is my son looking
Ten years older than me...

A pink flower to smell, watch a red ball bounce, see
a clown, a puppy to embrace, a mother's smile.
A child laughs at each new discovery--all a mystery
To see the world through a child's eyes
would be like looking through an unchipped
glass and suddenly see ourselves before
we...
