I’ve been on every diet known to man
Atkins, Lemonade, Cabbage and f-plan
And I’ve never lost a thing worthy of mention
But I try every new one, full of good intention
Now I'm on the Whisky diet, which I’m taking steady
And do you know I've lost three days already.
I finally did it , I lost my mind ,I can't find it cause I went blind
I'm fifty one cards short of a deck .I lost my leg around my neck
I'm one testical short of a nut,and one hole short of my own butt
with all this right in my life all I need is another wife
I'm two smiles short of a grinn , I'd grow a beard but I can't find my chin
I walk out of rytham cause I couldn't find a ryme ,
I did find a felony but it wasn't mine
A mind is a terrable thing to waist, I'd eat it but I don't like the taste
you may think i'm crazy ,but I thought I went mad
either way I lost the only mind I thought I never had
James.............................................
A thought, incomplete
Almost at its conception
Dies unformed
Another is stillborn
A lost unformed notion
More follow also fruitless
And unfulfilled
Then little more than an inkling
Emerges, grows quickly
Surviving into infancy
Only to be lost to distraction
Many more die unformed
Before a thought is born
Fully formed and grows quickly to maturity
But it was a stupid thought
Marbles...I think that I've lost them,
Please help me search on the floor.
The last clue I had has disappeared,
And bolted it out of the door.
I once had a plot, now I've lost it,
God Darn!! The stress is too much.
When I try to explain, my words mess up,
And I frequently talk double Dutch.
I'm sick of the sight of my cock ups!
An insaneness that’s totally unique.
I just need a clue, no idea what to do,
I'm beginning to think I'm a freak.
I question my own sensibility,
My rare and treasure trait?
What’s going on, my heads in a mess,
How much more can I possibly take!
In hindsight I spose it's expected,
As I’m fast approaching my prime.
Tropical moments and mood swings,
I’m coming back as a man next time!!

As I look away to no longer see into your eyes my heart now looks else where
not to replace you not to move on just to be with a love I fell for long ago
unlike you I fill complete with this love as if we never said good bye
and when my love came back I knew I needed to be there,
lost for months with out my love I knew some thing was missing
my days were long my nights seemed lost as if I was without
now I know that will no longer be I am now complete
the sun will shine the bright moon will be raising,
please don,t cry it's betters way it's meant to be
this love... so true...unlike no other out there
our love?...you knew this day would come
see I was lost and need to be set free,
sorry I'll miss you please stand tall
dry your tears, raise your head
please forgive but you know
I LOVE FOOTBALL!
