Bassoon's over eagerness often
made it's social awkwardness
more awareable
  aloofness or disinterest, often
lacking eye contact 
fidgeting, or over-monitoring
 their own behavior the cantars
mindfulness to stay present
approaches designed to make
interactions feel more comfortable
and natural.

Being the "fifth wheel in your own relationship"
 typically means feeling like an unnecessary,
 third-party addition rather than an equal partner
This often happens due to a power imbalance, 
emotional disconnect, or when an outside third
 party seeking or a power play
. When somesong or some songs
 deliberately puts themselves 
in appealing or high-attention environments
 to manipulate others into thinking
 they are highly desired.

To support all of this emotion
to take everything in stride
to up lift to and to encourage
put all that doubt and envy aside
how can go on saying
when so many want me o fail
hold my head up and keep on stibing
hoping one day I would prevail
Keep me grooving to the music
gone darling do your thang
breakfast was so delicious
Darling you treat me like a King
about yesterday I apologize
but don't keep doing that sorta thing

Your Ole man
started hushing
stopped talking when I came around
he get up when I started sitting
acting like he didn't want me around
 his actions both subtle and overt
had an impact on everything
made me feel like ah fifth wheel
put a dark cloud on everything
got mad and started cussin
that's not a nice or respectful thing
got in the way of our performance
putting a damper on everything
now I'm ah red eyed stranger
a tear drop fell in my beer
all that cussin and fussin
is such annoyance
it put's ah damper on everything

I am an afterthought.
I am a blue shirt
in a sea of red.
I am the off-center
tire that makes 
the bicycle wobble.
I am my own shadow.
I am the couch 
left out in the rain.
I am the left shoe
on the right foot.
I am the invisible
one at the table.
I am the poet while
others watch football.
I am the missing 
puzzle piece.
I am the fifth wheel.
I am a swimmer
against the tide.
I am the square peg
that doesn’t fit
in the round hole.
I am the lost child.
I am the grown-up
who has disappeared.
I am alone in a crowd.
I am the oddball out
in the land of what
passes as normal.

She loved the fact that she
could use her beauty to
unleash her objectives and goales
upon men who wished to be freind
or kind to her. She flirted with my
wife and ignored me. I felt 
uncomfortable.
She "Atta Bouised" my wife
right in front of me. I got fifth-wheel
by this Chic who didn't even recognize my
relationship to my own wife.
Strange and Unnatural
I felt frightened by her treatment of me
The role of the character she became
to make all in attendance wish him strange
that she was indeed strange and meddlesome.

Yet one could say that the two beautiful people
made the fellow the villan who they could say was
strange. Sungsleezer Dancer is a Villanious
a creepy unkind woman.
" Forro, Foorro they dance
together, smiling to kiss
from there warm embrace.
Forro, Forro , Forro,
she must not see me
Here I am
so in love am I
Forro, Forro
she and I are
together
she takes the attention
by acting strange

A House A Hut
By Franklin Price
2/19/2017

A house, a hut, a small abode
A mansion down a winding road
A mountain cabin in the air
A farmhouse old and kept with care

A penthouse high on cityscape
A sea side cottage on the cape
Plantation home with columns high
A Fifth wheel RV passing by

A gated complex, guards outside
Within these more and more reside
A hotel room, for when we roam
We live in each, not always home

Home is where the heart resides
Where love and hope and strength abides
Where family and friends can come
Where we live now, or started from

Home is much a state of mind
In memories, we each can find,
A place of peace and comfort there
With ones, we know, who always care

That's what a home is all about,
Not the structure, have no doubt,
Where love and peace and friends abound
When we are there, then home we've found.

A Redneck Wins the Lottery

A Redneck Wins the Lottery

By Elton Camp

A house trailer is the only place Rufus did live
For a house he never had down payment to give
One day, all that poverty disappeared in a flash
He won the state lottery and was rolling in cash

For the first time, he could have things his way
Since for anything we wanted he was able to pay
So Rufus rushed out and bought a suit of clothes
“Throw away these rags.  I’ve no need of those.”

He went to a snooty restaurant for a fine meal
“Much better than McDonald’s it does feel.”
Rufus bought a mansion in an upscale place
For to live poor he now thought was a disgrace

And it made rich Rufus feel especially keen
When he bought a Cadillac stretch limousine
So a reminder of his former life wouldn’t lack,
He had a fifth-wheel trailer mounted to the back
