Single cell, single cell, single cell lock
Single cells king and single cells bring
Throwin' and blowin' few pushers of some
Now the single chop has begun
Single cell, single cell, single cell lock
Single cells mime is a single cells crime
Family Charles Manson Electrical Chair
With the Folgers there
What a bright time, gettin' brighter time
To light them right away
Single cell time is a swell time
To go die-in' in a gun force play
Pretty-up Twinkie source, beefed up you cheat
Tinkle on all the locks
Fixed and single and sweet in defeat
That's the single cell mock

Tennis on the television.
Heinous sneezes from my toddler.
Lettuce bits sprayed across our laps.
Menace to society's Joe the Waddler,
Arriving at the war zone toy room,
Deriving future campaigns in his mind.
Writhing within the haze of colored plastic he's
Diving into Roman ruins, covered in shiny blocks, laying supine.
In walks the 5-year-old
And our most decorated of soldiers.
Endowed with the wisdom to sleep in, she's now
Entwined with Daddy, smelling of warm bed and Folgers.

Is it that time gets away from me
Or that every second has its own story to tell
And that my circuits get overloaded at times?
In truth, some seconds are astounding:
Like when the illegal 'Dragon's Claws' I bought
From a firework's stand on the Kansas-Oklahoma border,
Gutted a traditional Folgers coffee can,
(It never left the ground) , and then its brother
Blasted a heavy metal water bucket
At least 40 feet into the air!
Wow! Talk about 'poetry in motion! '
Most theorists are poets too you know,
With their 'Big Bang' theories and
'Laws of Nature' emerging over time!
Eventually, we all have to deal with
What some distant poet first called 'the opposite sex! '
But it is so much easier to explain Creation I think!
But can anyone say why men love explosions?

Refreshing scent of dew upon the grass,
Warm and humid as the sun is rising,
Songbirds singing melodies of morning,
Beautiful blooms upon the garden bed.
Invigorating drafts of Folgers in the air,
Comfy covers keeping sleepers warm,
Dawn passing soft welcome through the home,
Sleepy eyes awakening once again.
To live this spring morning.

Head straight to the coffee pot after I pee
What happened this morning? Good god mercy me
Empty Folgers can
Was I pissed? Yes ma’am
(Four extra-large bags make a fine cup ‘o tea)

A strong blend I crave , the scent of French roast , or Italian is euphoric
It's the first thing I think of in the morning as I awake .
I admit the addiction , but I will never stop
It's not booze or drugs , that I am to conquer
It's the smell of the fresh grind and the drip
Honestly , nothing as good as the 1st sip
Mine with cream , no sugar
if I were in a storm though , in a savored minute
never a complaint , If some one kind enough
gave a cup of Folgers, black , even if given a pack instant
So this is a tip for all the Red Cross and United Nations .
Take the money given for suffering through natures doing
Buy the best of coffee and keep fresh pots brewing .

Loving you is cruel and unusual punishment.
When I met you, I should have started running to a tent.
I simply can't handle it. This is cruel and unusual punishment.
You dropped the bomb on me and I cannot pick up the pieces.
Your love to me was like Red Hots covered in Reese's Pieces.
After I got the sweet peanut buttery treat then the mouth
Of the river of my love got hot from the other layer that
Tastes and feels like the cinnamony Red Hots. It's no longer
Like Folgers it feels good to the last drop but I don't want it
And it want to stop. I feel like calling the cops because loving
You is a crime and it's taking too much time to end this
Love it's cruel and unusual punishment.

a little less of a little more, a smaller me in
the attic of someone elses house.
a little further away until i do not have
to worry about the words or the punctuation,
the notoriety of the base emotion.
the delicate sweetness of the sugar coated words
that crumble from a touch.
the bible says fruit eaten in secret is sweet.
sugar eaten in secret is also sweet.
i rememer now how as a child at are four squar
evangelical church. how over long shaggy green
carpet i would sneak out of the service as a
little soldier of fortune slowly walking to the
back lobby of the church where the coffee table
was kept.
i would open the blue and white box of sugar
carefully viewing the array of gods holy dice
stacked evenly. a few in a styrofoam cup with
a splash of folgers to melt them and a few more
in my pocket for the rest of the service and then
i would head back.
all these years later i still dont understand the
hebrew and latin biblical terms are pastor talked
about but strangly i do still drink folgers coffee.

'Beautiful' was Barbara Frees
'Beautiful' was being kids
was that Folgers can of crayolas
how she colored the black horse -
'Beautiful' like her hair
not a line not a thread spilling over
'Wonderful' that she liked me so much
'Wonderful' how quietly thoughtful
how dainty how proper
'Beautiful' that day how she cried
how she looked when she cried
mother back in town
visit over
Then years later
I saw her at school
Saw her on the stairs
'Beautiful' and more than any girl there
and still more -
'Beautiful' how she noticed me waved smiled
'Beautiful' such a wonderful memory survived

We catch trials the moment we touch satisfaction
The average mistakes of luck and infatuation
The truths we're told are merely lies
The heavens we seek are clearly skies
And this is what I want the world to know
We catch wishes
Misery catches dreams
Seems we can't seem to kiss our misses
Lonely roads capture our tears and forgotten scenes
This is what I want the world to know
I ake to complete the ordered procedure
I wait to concrete my name in your boarded seizure
My beginning is closure
My happiness remains in grains of Folgers
But this is what I want the world to know
Again I'll sleep
My suringe carries your motive to weep
I may close my eyes
But forever I am yours to keep
And this is what I want the world to know

everybody out for self
young kids in the pen facing death
and still got milk on his breath
first case that hit em he a victim
court appointed lawyer
b.s him got him in the system
and these preteens get more c.r.e.a.m than folgers
in high school they high rollers
all ways strapped like soldiers
I got to deal with mean mugs
the c.r.e.a.m from drugs
the screams and blood
the scene of fiends and thugs
cop cars, yellow tape, chalked outlines
teardrops from the crying
but that don't stop the dyeing
trying to get mines without getting got
hit me im hitting back
I was told to shoot or you getting shot
and peace a'int two fingers spreaded it's the steel in your palms
threaten to squeeze enemies remain calm
but there is no way in the world to beat the way of the world
I get drunk and I earl and get in fights with my girl
