Premium Member Billy the Kid's Pa
I got to thinkin' about Billy the Kid and the peculiar line of work he did. If I were Billy's older brother or pa, I would say, "instead of bein' a bad outlaw", why not get yerself an education, a 401K and three weeks' vacation....

Premium Member Brother Billy
You are gone and I am okay. In fact, I wanted it this way. For you, life was a machete. I always wished you to be free. Leaving us for months, sometimes years, made me often spill grieving tears or scream aloud my sibling's plea. I always wished you to be free. I lived with a broken heart stain and thought with an aching...

Billy Butcherson
Once upon a Halloween night, Billy Butcherson came to life, A zombie with a tongue of tar, Brought back by three witches, so bizarre. Hocus Pocus, the witches chanted, In the night, their schemes were implemented, But Billy, once a lover scorned, Now sought redemption, reborn. Through the streets of Salem he roamed, Among the living, his...

Back Passage Billy
I'd chosen you as my flunky - Your hair - Neanderthal red, You'd hurry towards my shrill calling, De-cloth me and roll me to bed. 'Textured', you woo-ed, 'mild and creamy', Said I'd never last long on the shelf, I blushed, put out, yet warming within, Soon began to value myself. Brought you into my secrets - my tales - My concerns for my...

Hey, Billy You Walked Among the Blind
Hey, Billy you walked among the blind, they had no reason to be kind; hey, Billy you carried no single weight on your shoulders, and saw no street beggar stretching his empty hands. Was I the good-hearted man who gave all, never thinking I would be appreciated, and get a warm hug or a welcoming hello? I didn't do it to raise...

Billy Was Silly
If you're William, then you're Billy. The one I knew was damned silly Sick but climbing the hilly Hard steel, if you sought his Lily But soon wasting the same Lily; Orders obeyed willy-nilly... Do you like to dilly dally? Still your acts with his must tally: He wouldn't be facing Nelly And you watching fancied Nelly Or he admonishing Kelly And you lying on your...
