Is any thing I say meaningful?
-----------------------------------
we spent many hours talking about
lounging
sorted differences seeking fun
our time for planning had taught us
that our next venture had begun
Words out loud mde it officail
we'd been cordnating things
there is a fine line between prudent
and parinoid
sometime just do your thing
every mention is challenged
an obstacle to overcome
sometimes advice is undermining
you never know where it's coming from
take sometime smooth the edges
done cursed a many still
ask my lord for forgivness
you might think that such is a thrill
Damn the alternaters busted
gotta fix it all over again
you might think I like this situation
trust me it's ah bitter pill
in the weird nothingness
I found some releif
the stress of contridiction
has strenghtened my belief

_____________________________________________
Promise me the Kingdom, if I tell you the truth,
Where rivers of cola shimmer their length;
And arrays of burger-trees rain their fruits,
My little sprite laughs into my angry face,
Beholding the slender, swaying stick -
A dream of innocence, so pretty, so slick.
do you have a veggie burger?
The voice is small
I look down, and try not to explain
we are carnivores here, hearty meat eaters
We devour pounds and pounds of hamburger,
hot dogs, chicken wings, chicken breasts, chicken necks,
rib eyes, t-bones, any thing dead that does not move any more
did I mention we are carnivores?
I look at her eyes. They are scanning the grill hopefully.
We have salmon, I say, do you want me to run inside and get it?
I think I’ll have that veggie burger, she says, pointing to a patty.
It’s one hundred percent corn-fed beef.
I put it on a bun and hand it to her
not wanting to spoil her illusion
Have you ever met an animated nose burger?
Wait. She might spell herself as bugger.
Anyway, I have one.
She wears a diamond tiara and puts on airs.
She makes me call her “your majesty”.
I had to buy her a furry robe.
It makes me sneeze, but she cares not.
She refuses to let me dig her out.
I am terrified of her assertiveness.
“Put that down!” she commands as I pick up a tissue
Nutritious burger delight
Cheesy midst onions
Cucumber, lettuce, spinach
Savoury with beef
Chicken and ham bits
Oh, so well
Done!
I hold you.
And bite you.
You drip down my chin..
I really just didn't know
Where to begin
My teeth as they sink
Through the layers of joy
Encouraged by lentil
Enraptured by soy
There are moments and layers
In life we should cherish;
None ever so blissful
As encountering relish
Or the pickly thing
Or the goo that's so cheesy
Yet it's not, we're OK
My conscience still frees me
For a burger is life.
With it's multiple facets
And the creatures we love..
Well, they're more than just assets
So dive in and be free
To celebrate goodness
Free from harm or distress
Something wholesome and bloodless
Your body will thank you
The planet will send
A sigh of relief
To some four legged friend
We can all live together
Without fear or distressing
For a burger is life.
It's the truth. And no messing.

Say
You know what they call a burger
in the future
What
I can't believe it's not a burger
Because it ain't got no meat or
cheese in it
It's a bun but that ain't bread as we
used to know it either
With some or other kind of meat
substitute as the burger
And the side's have gone as well
And don't even get me started on the fries
Just maybe that was what was actually
in the briefcase after all
Tarantino just didn't want to spoil the
surprise until his big reveal when he
gets to say , i told you so
And Vincent the hitman would Kill Bill
or even Jules for just 1 more
bite of a juicy burger as bloody in the
middle as Mr Pink himself
Because at that point nostalgia has
become the newest kind of pulp fiction
that takes us back to the future
A burger with bacon and cheese
Lovely and tasty such as I please
1000 calories or more who cares
Chewey and lovely no one shares
A shake a soda wash it all down
Leave with a smile never a frown
Fries or rings as long as their cooked
Crunchy and munchy all eaters are hooked
1500 calories or more who cares
Throw it down no one shares
Fast food joints release the stress
World is in such unbelievable mess
Eaters and drinkers surfing the web
Uber delivers whatever you pledge.
Grilled burger with cheese, bacon
tasty, juicy, spiced
a secret beef mix the key !
Bun, crisp lettuce
tomato, onion
magic sauce ...
crunch !

Burgers, fries, wings and beer,
All my family and friends are here,
Ice cream, cake, pizza and pop,
It looks like the food will never stop.
Every Sunday always the same,
We share the love while watching the game,
Are you happy or sad if they lose?
It depends on which side you chose.
Watching some quarterback or a batter,
Or a movie it really doesn’t matter,
The important thing is we are together,
And that can get no better.
So pass the pizza, then some beer and coke,
Make some fun then tell a joke,
Will they win, sneak a peek,
We cant wait til next week.
Burger boy hangs out
at the A&W
Spare change for burgers
he sometimes has two
He chats up the girls
imagines he is cool
Making up tall tales
but girls ain't easy to fool
He asks the cute waitress
if she's from the Philippines
Tells her he was there yesterday
eating noodles and beans!
She asks where he traveled
he says he was everywhere
But the more he talks
she knows he wasn't there
She doesn't make him feel bad
she just gives a sweet smile
It's enough to make him happy
his grin widens a mile
Like so many others
he hates being all alone
So he sits dreams and fidgets
while he charges his phone
The place is kinda quiet
except cars driving through
If he had his own car
it would be a dream come true
What others take for granted
seems far beyond his reach
He's never had a holiday
or walked a sandy beach
So he finds something
that to others ain't much
A burger and a smile
He hopes fingers might touch
