~ She Reached Down My Pants ~
Went to the recent school dance
Was grabbed by a big, fat chance
Who reached down my pants
But what she wanted was missing
She settled for an hour of French kissing
~ She Was Homely, I Wanted Comely ~
My first date was, to put it mildly, slightly homely
I told her honestly I was seeking someone more comely
What’d she do? She spat in my eye
Told me I was a typical dull guy
'Cos if I wanted the latest gossip ~ with her I’d never be lonely
From Washington D.C. is launched an attack
against a venal South America communist
While in Seattle, WA a North American communist
is sworn into office as the city’s mayor
I hear that Seattle residents voted in a middle-aged woman
whose parent still help her with her rent payments
And in NYC, a man with no record of achievement whatsoever
Zero Zohran – now Mayor of America’s largest city
What a hoot! But America can’t have it both ways.
If we are going communist, we’ll have to free Madura
FAT CHANCE OF THAT!
Let me get out of New York
Bags are packed
Deportation fact
It’s time to leave
People of New York, don’t be deceived
I stood for come and all
It now is no more
Leaving the New York City shore
Enough is enough for sure
Getting out while I can
If I was deported, I would probably be sent to France
Fat chance
Hudson River is my escape to my own new world
History was
The Statue that was of the people
Constitution said
Fulfilled for years
Bags, we got a journey
The statue will now be cut down to a skeleton
Quickly leaving town
People beware
Embrace one another with care
It’s freedom for me
I can’t wait and see
Run Ms. Liberty Run.

Hawk eye and Joni
taught me to dance
The dance of the shaking keys
Different status's same margins of collar and trance
Hawk eye and Joni taught me to dance
Real still time to trim crime fat chance
Lift the thoughts a picnic of toler-ance
Bee Gees at the roller rink
Joni Mitchell with her genius iconic Ink
Running circles around constricted culture
Driving substance into something that was all show
We are at the setting of her dream
A memory to glow and light shining bright as a star
Always shining bright as stardust falls
Joni gave us a soundtrack during our growth
Where passion inspires A pin dropped
Dropped a heist on fate
The pain the fear sequestered by hope
Born to bring the song and our spirits higher
You bring the light that sparks our desire
very
scary
lightning
striking
strikes twice?
no dice
same place?
don't brace
perchance?
fat chance
no way,
jose.

fat chance
Martha’s doll, Sarah, was confiscated years ago.
She always suspected her brother, Larry.
He emphatically denied taking Sarah.
After their parents’ deaths, thirty years later….
She discovered Sarah floating in Larry’s koi pond.
Her stomach had been hollowed out.
She was a floating planter; very creepy and sad.
She wondered if their parents knew how psycho their son was.
“You should come out more often,” Larry said.
He had sneaked up behind her. She felt the hair raise on her neck.
Fat chance, she thought, but she kept silent.
Courier arrived today,
Doorstep gift in the usual way,
Nothing better than this,
Inhale wool to craft and knit,
It's about textures and threads,
No wool is what I dread,
"Fat chance!' is what the crafters said!
Just a few days ago
Someone -
I didn't know him that well,
I sort of considered him to be an extension of my family,
like an uncle, or maybe an older cousin -
cryptically told me that there was a special day coming up next week.
I was clueless as to what he was talking about.
A party?
Someone getting engaged, or even married?
I had no idea what he was hinting at.
Your Birthday.
Oh, my word.
I completely forgot.
How old am I even turning?
Maybe, just maybe I can have the day off
so I don't have to stand up in front of 200 people
While they sing to me.
Yeah, fat chance of that ever happening.
Oh, well.
At least it's only once a year.
And I know of at least one person who is sending me a card.
Facts are precisely what they are,
Indisputable;
Stubbornly enduring stains.
Pour gallons of bleach
To completely submerge in bucket,
Fat chance; the stains remain.

trousers
Three pair of trousers hang on a wooden hanger
no, not the wires they give you ate the laundry.
I only fit one of them but have kept two pair
should I slim lose ten kilos, you must be joking
but hopes are eternal, and my doctor is good looking
she has a nice smile like should be interested in
my well being, every time I go there she has to look
into her computer, oh, yes him with the funny heart
and tries to flirt with me, fat chance.
The trousers slid from the wooden hanger fell on the floor
and since I was naked at the time picked up a pair of
grey slacks, the fitted just, but there was no room for
a shirt, I put on an over-sized T-shirt and thought
it was slimming, but my wife who loves to tell the truth
said I looked like a tent.
Her sarcasm was lost on me, I had slimmed and wore
the grey slacks that day.
From bottles, to cartons and cans
Can't we do better than that, man?
From paper to plastic, then to recycling
Let us now go from motor cars to bicycling
