Premium Member Mentos and Extra Fluff, lyrics


Where to start?
Asleep is the hope of mine
In the shadows of my dreams
The crimson curtains have collapsed
And are cemented to the floor 
Entombed behind the stage 
Petrified
Where to start?

Ardently athirst 
For my music to become a reality 
Are there any more enduring rays 
To blaze this shroud and open the pathway 
For this song to

My brain is on holiday
Sure wish it would alert me
I'm cruising along having a ball
Then WHAM!!!
“Sorry, I'm on holiday”
Doesn't happen often to me
But when it does, I freak out
What if in my remaining years
I never write another poem
Yikes! What a calamity that would be
Still got lots to write about
I think I have... I know I

Just an extra inch

In sports as life a missing extra inch 
That winnows winners from whiners of fate--
Faced with no way forward, those who’d not flinch, 
The rest of chaff gets stuck whilst at the gate. 
Easy never comes even tiny pinch, 
A seed on its own sprouts, but not sans care,
An inch of care and life is

Premium MemberAn Extra Plot

It occurs that safety measures
Are more dangerous than dangers
Who’ll protect us from security
Lives beyond the clouds obscurity
God takes ultimate control 
He’s the One who knows it all
Tells that safety measures bit
We should treasure in complete
Otherwise a little devil
Mean old master of the rebel
Will set trouble in our minds
Thus to evil we’ll abide 
With God’s blessing

Premium MemberExtra Large Helping of Crow

I went home wearing my dinner.
I had egg all over my face.
Something I said had made her see red
And she dumped spaghetti over my head.
Maybe I should have said “Sorry”
But she quickly stormed from the place
Leaving me there with sauce in my hair
Trying to act as if I didn’t care.

The waitress, she tried to be

"Extra! Extra! Read all about it!"

Not a crock of ... but bull heave me,

cuz Trump (unexpectedly)
nixed presidential ambitions...
to pursue lifelong
management job at McDonald's,
nevertheless rival Burger King 
courtesy a turncoat,
who cozied up 
to Escherichia coli electronic bug 
hidden in dem  Golden Arches

The Extra Mile

Who dare to go the extra mile with me, who dare to walk out of the struggle with me, who dare to tarry on the floor with me, who dare to set me free.
I stand on the mountain of time reminiscing the mysteries that have gone by, the earth in its fullness of the ages

Extra Extraordinary

Dear Mom and Dad, 
I tried my best,
To get out of this world of average,
And rest my feet on extraordinary,
But I failed.

Dear Mom and Dad,
I worked hard day in and day out,
In silence without crying out loud.
Still couldn't get through,
The competition that is a little too.

Dear Mom and dad,
I gave in all my energy and

The Extra Mile

She went the extra mile for me.
I loved her for the world to see.
She was all a woman could be,
And I miss her so much.

Anything I needed she’d do.
War had left me disabled too.
She’d enable me to renew,
Help With walking and such.

The extra mile came with her smile.
She made it all seem quite worthwhile.
I loved

Premium MemberOne Extra Mile

Reach to go the extra long mile.
It takes so much effort with trials.
On some days Satan tries to beguile

Quick!  simplify your class. 

As aging problems increase pains.
Going the extra mile remains
Causing friction once more again

Complaints_ those spats amass.

As the end of life here, slows down.
Live life's joy, wear the old age's crown.
Everyday move forward,
