French was the international language
Brittania ruled the waves
Sears-Roebuck a retail behemoth
American Indians still called braves
China an enigma wrapped in a riddle
The U.S. in a major depression
Germany'd elected a bar-room brawler
A dangerous, goose-stepping hessian...
Looking back, it's quite surreal
Looking ahead, hard to get a feel
Don't know if it's all real or illusion ~
Or ends from the fallout of nuclear fusion

Hidden among the trees up Jones Creek holler
In an old rustic log cabin with only three rooms
Where a family of twelve lives in squalor
Hidden among the trees up Jones Creek holler
The father has a reputation for being a brawler
The mother expertly sews Halloween costumes
Hidden among the trees up Jones Creek holler
In an old rustic log cabin with only three rooms
Hidden among the trees up Jones Creek holler
Where a family of twelve lives in squalor
The father has a reputation for being a brawler.
The mother expertly sews Halloween costumes
In an old rustic log cabin with only three rooms
She also makes and sells old-timey cane brooms.

More Texas Idioms
(that have been around)
“since Heck was a pup”
Composed: by Tom
1/11/2021
Heck was “fat as a boarding house cat” and that’s no bunk,
some thought that he, was “tougher than stewed skunk.”
They said never play cards with this man called Heck,
cause “He’s on a first name basis with the bottom of the deck.”
He’s so crooked, “you can’t tell from his tracks if he’s coming or going,”
and if Heck says it’s hot its “afixin” to start snowing.
He’ll leave you feeling confused “as a goat on AstroTurf” or a dope,
I couldn’t tell if “I’d lost my mule or found a rope.”
The purpose of my visit was just to size up this brawler,
He lived “left past yonder” about “two hoots and a holler.”
I quickly saw that Heck was just mostly idle prattle,
that he was a man “who was all hat and no cattle”.
He was “yellow as mustard but without the bite,”
and “if he was melted down he couldn’t be poured into a fight”.
With visit over as I headed out I heard him say,
“never kick a Cow patty on a hot day.”
I’ve been “From here to there and back again,”
no more am I going, now that I’ve been.

I’m a titch like a detritivous dust-mite,
Yet taller than a boiler-hauled trawler.
Little like the winter mice’ whittling bites,
Brained bigger than a floor-fallen brawler.
I have stories smaller than memoried whales,
More shallow than trills of the trenches they’ve seen.
But my weather is the wind in their tow'ring tails,
And we're tuned by the lies laid by those same submarines.
One day I'll be sea-sized and shaled with loot;
I'll look fond through palm fronds as poor as a pond.
A tale in the gauze jaws of larval brutes,
When lures limped by my eyes too small to respond.
I will be brassy like cows chewing dew,
Strange like your mammalian four-legged desk.
In my dray I feel sometimes I'm not in life's stew,
And I’ll be smaller in there than the lonely drones grown,
by cells of electricity in Battersea's beastly eggs.

Baleful and stormy nights on the wings of a lonely consoler,
Beneath smiles a silken aureole, not another brawler,
Heaven and Earth keep downloading another torrent or reddish candles,
And murmur sets out mediocrity but the teeth rip the chemisette
With vigour as a kibitzer I observe a pair of lovers
Burning up the easy-chair they are on.
Charmed are all attentions given from the heart,
Yet my ambition is to cut the wrist of the archangel
Spilling the blood in an anecdote that radiates warmth and precision,
Without looking for a reason behind such a decision.
I want dancers to surround me
And when the curtains drop, my coat is off.
Never too capricious to be undesired at any immoral banquet,
Firmly standing upright with the scales of justice in hand
I am the keeper of my echoes that bounce of mountains of lust
Do not worship icons nor the Saints, earn my trust.

Throughout my life, the nightmares have come in phases.
At first it was the giant colored numbers and letters
never harming but always taunting vulnerabilities.
Swooping down from the sky just inches from my youth,
fitting because i was the slug filled with learning disabilities.
Next came the sharks swarming in black waters.
Unseen beasts forever stalking and bumping but never mauling,
this is when my life became the dark drunken brawler.
Then the tornados sashayed in.
nonchalant, almost playful at first,
then churning with intelligence and great purpose
picking up speed -made me cling to horrible-unstable things.
This came at a time when relations were dust devilish and unsettling.
The present phase is about the end times,
Where a flock of upside down crosses
turn into reapers after striking the ground.
Chasing the masses over grassy hills and forests
cutting them down one by one.
Those praying with the greatest vigor were saved..i believe.
This dream is profoundly realistic
and come at a time when I question
the battered prophet on his crucifix.

Life is interesting to me,
passion, love is like the sea,
the tides go in and out,?
for me so willingly:)
Lovely sounds are ushered in,
and thoughts are gathered,
thick or thin .
A lovely thoughtful girl no sin.
Remember all the good times babe,
and happy be ye in ye made:)
no other love does come this way
4 you i'd paddle in the river styx
with me wrists n ankles strapped to bricks
I recite verse and put storys on the tube,
i talk of older doings before Armstrong hit the moon,
sorry bout me accent but me mouth gets in the way.
and the reverating? laughter was maybe me i say...
Well I guess i do posses the makings of a brawler,
and with the fairer sex perhaps a little crawler,
so come n visit me at least then in your mind,
and passion slips between your thighs ....
oh no no no never mind ....love
