At dinner, I was a bit edgy,
cuz my wife gave me a mean wedgy.
When I ventured to ask her why,
she said, "Cuz you're such a dumb guy!
I asked for meat pizza, not veggie."
Tune of: "Wheels On The Bus"
I am Humpty Dumpty, longtime pal
longtime pal longtime pal
I am Humpty Dumpty, longtime pal
longtime ago
I am Eggy Edgy cracking up
cracking up cracking up
I am Eggy Edgy cracking up
all cracked up
I saw Humpty Dumpty, falling down
falling down falling down
I saw Humpty Dumpty, falling down
fall off a wall
Now that Humpty Dumpty looks like me
look like me look like me
Now that Humpty Dumpty looks like me
all cracked up
Now he's Halfy Deafy he can't hear good
he can't hear good he can't hear good
Now he's Halfy Deafy he can't hear good
till he's healed of wounds
Healed up Humpty Dumpty, looking good
looking good looking good
Healed up Humpty Dumpty, looking good
CHEERS the neighborhood
I am Eggy Edgy all alone
all alone all alone
I am Eggy Edgy all alone
off to Dumpty's home.
It Is Always Fear
Turn, Fear, Hide, Fear, Run, Fear, Die
Well Now, Goodbye Fear!
Silly words drag on
Uncreative fire bellows
More words for words' sake
We observe
We gasp in anticipation
What is this, a chicken bone, a Ferrari, a bee? Why do they even belong here?
Revelation flashes by like a cottage cheese comment
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! I do learn much Karma Kreulu.
Another Three Score
By Our Elite Point Guard Four
This Poor Team Shall Soar
You told me a truth
That you, I, we were real
Oh, a gorgeous lie
Burning to Ashes
Dreams Fade From Reality
Nothing to Nothing
A bundle of flesh
Seeking to be more than 'me'
We are or are not
For any glimpse of light he sought,
As he turned to a chiming clock,
But in this world there is naught.
Many years the world had taught,
Of fire, water, wind, and rock.
For any glimpse of light he sought,
His destiny was formed as it ought.
The system promised greatness in its talk.
But in this world there is naught.
Now cast aside and forgot,
Under darkness, he shivered in shock.
For any glimpse of light he sought,
From the endless black a beam shot.
And he found truth, he broke the lock,
But in this world there is naught.
For this good he struggled and fought,
But in dismay he saw it was schlock.
For any glimpse of light he sought,
But in this world there is naught.

I desire to live.
Recoil, irrational fool!
You are not chosen.
Stone on Stone on Stone.
Build it Higher and Higher!
We'll Watch it Crash Down.
Knowledge Perishes
Formed and found by soul's effort
And then Forgotten
Grasping in darkness,
There's nothing. Nothing... Nothing.
I'll drift through this void.
One in a million
A beautifully lost chance
Truth hidden by odds
