Helen’s hugger-mugger ways caused a hullabaloo
Her hoarder house hardly had room for two
Let’s trick her outside, someone suggested.
But Helen firmly and fiercely protested.
She’s got to go out sometimes said the throng.
But everything was brought in, so the bystanders were wrong.
a hug seems to always be welcome if the recipient is a child
older people may be more hesitant, but they might warm up
my mother was not a hugger; but I began hugging her when I was fifty
she was seventy-one; she hugged back at seventy-five.
worth it.
Bear with a banjo tree hugger
Beneath the Banyan tree
Barely beeps his bitterbugger
Beyond barley’s bruised knee.
If you’re going to hug trees
you had best wear a shirt
having really long arms
knuckles dragged in dirt
surely won’t do much harm
If you’re going to hug trees
then you’d best not mind bugs
‘cuz sooner or later
they will return the hugs
below your equator
If you’re going to hug trees
shower after you toil
get used to the itches
that poison ivy oil
will soak through your britches
If you’re going to hug trees
and you’re not a jogger
then be a good tipper
so Ole the logger
won’t show you the chipper
once a tree hugger from warren
awakened from too much snorin
setting out on a lark
to the nearest state park
he sent all the birds a soarin.

Yes, I am a tree hugger
And I do so love the trees.
Trees give us negative ions;
Oxygen to breathe.
Lovely wooden sentinels;
Our siblings are the trees.
Though they have no legs to walk
They move within the breeze.
The trees see many curious things;
Perhaps hear even more.
They’ll share their secrets if
It’s what you ask them for.
Listen with your soul to leaves within the wind.
You’ll be back to hear more, again and again.
I'm getting sick of tree huggers
always hugging trees
this kinda dumb
seems pretty stupid to me
i said trees aren't meant to be hugged dude
he just turned and said screw you
and then he said you're just jealous because we're getting married.
so i went over there and punched him in the eye
and then i set the tree on fire then it died
and i walked away as he cried that was the end of the tree hugger's life.
He woke and he got down on the creaking knees
He didn't know if God listened but tried
His grandson was in a coma and God was asleep
But he said the prayer but was afraid of the silence
God was the great politician in the sky
And his son Jesus would listen to the poll
When there was trouble God was the first name
Grabbing his coffee he humbly turned to God
In his eyes it was humbly but he loved the sugar
As he sat stirring and sweetened thoughts
The prayers flowed with his coffee
"Maybe God only listens to the regulars"
And he definitely wasn't one
It was years and God was famished
The whispered prayer ended with death and the anger
"Why did you not take me"
"I have lived and gladly would take the grandson's place"
The pastor warmed up and the sisters hummed
The cup spilled over as the prayer of the faithful
He became a hugger and he covered each drink
And the Irish believed in wake and liquor
He hugged the people tight and the salt became a scab
And God left him there with his drink
the snow piled up quickly
another day of waking to work
I think I'll clean my house
when I get home
I've cleaned it 5 times already
I don't know why
nobody ever comes over
after awhile you just say
what the hell
I think I'll dig my car out tomorrow
I have to get a new pair of gloves
I bought these cheap ones
at the walmart
only two weeks ago
damn gloves
I think I'll get black ones
next time
instead of these crappy blue ones
Damn I'm thinking about you again
hope your warm
huddled some where
in a cave
or a log
Your probably snoring away
somewhere.
well thinking about snoring
time for bed.

when I got to work today
the lock was frozen
I struggle,Finally
I got the door unlocked
then It dawned on me
I haven't seen anyone
or talked to anyone
for two weeks now
wait maybe 3?
let me see
last person I talked to
was Dr Auston
she stopped by the lab
now I remember
i really need to call some one
maybe tonight when I get home
I see someone has left a cat in here
I hate cats
damn
I can't keep my mind of him
I wonder where he's at
I got up early
to look for you
the wind was blowing
as it usually does
in the morning
by the clearing
I thought I found your tracks
but the snow quickly covered them
when you walk through winter woods
there is a silence
like death that surounds you
like a blanket
covering you up.
I walked for about an hour
with no luck
my ears hurt
my feet are cold
I think I'll have some coffee
when I get home
and take a hot bath
I walked to work to day
it was snowing hard
I walked the road this time
hoping to find you
I was thinking
your carcass would be
laying there
on the side of the road
vulture food
food for the worms and maggots
I walked all the way to work
in the snow
I could hardly see
so maybe I missed you
I stopped by the store
bought another bottle
bought the Trader too
I was thinking I would build something
for you
to live in when you came back.
The Earth won't stand still
she 'll purge herself of her Ill
soon the earth will heal
you can't change a thing
there may not be a new spring
earth one day will sing
