Lemmings Into Lemonade

Today on my way home i chose to
permeate my daily grind

By buying myself a chicken to cook
once i got home 

The reason being i am trying to be more positive

It can't rain all the time

As i wanted to break the wishbone
and wish for better thing's to come

Then instantly after dinner i went into my back garden 

And started picking lemmons from
my lemmon tree 

To make lemonade

Only to realize i didn't have any 
sugar in order to make it

Which in the end made the moment somewhat bitter sweet 

But hey to accentuate the positive

Lemmons we're supposed to be bitter
not sweet and full of sugar 

And not only is it full of flavour and
retained it's vitamin C content

But this stuff could be sold as a
diet tonic as it goes through you
like a dose of scurvy

Or to be left in your office or 
house fridge for those people
who take your stuff without asking

And best of all the 1st bottle is absolutely free

So when life gives you lemmons

Don't waste them 

Use them

On Lemmings, Chickens, and Things

Across the Tundra, lemmings race
To the cliff, then over the face.

The prevailing theory laments
That this is not mass hysteria
But miscalculated judgment
In migratory behaviour.

And I watch my neighbours hoarding
Lest they should find themselves wanting;
Epitomes of ascendancy
Clipped to animistic qualities.
Flailing arms scurry to the abyss
Repeating, ‘The sky is falling!’

And I, a social misfit, surmise,
Deluded prank on the populace.

The lemming’s way

Town Hall Lemmings

The town hall clock chimed twelve
And the crowds they were  a' swelling,
A vision came into my mind
They reminded me of lemmings.

Of course there was no waiting cliff
No fabled deadly leaping,
Just an endless tidal flow
Onwards, ever creeping.

Each it seemed held a phone
'Twas quite a sight to see,
No colliding nor incidents
It was choreography!

We have evolved a sense
So we need not lift our heads,
We just switch to autopilot
Then chat and text instead.

WHO will pay for the wall?
	Mexico will pay for the wall
who WILL pay for the wall?
	MEXICO MEXICO
who will PAY for the wall?	
	100% Mexico will pay for the wall
who will pay for the WALL
	Mexico
WHO WILL PAY FOR THE WALL?
	MEXICO WILL PAY

Many tell me I Donald Trump
 can not get Mexico to pay for the wall
I promise you, MEXICO will pay for the wall
 you can bet on it! They don't even know it!
   But they are paying for the complete wall!

WHO WILL PAY FOR THE WALL?

	The Lemmings will


CANADA 

Canada needs a wall
to keep out the lemmings

Lemmings To a Cliff

Instincts stored from antiquity
Leather bound books; library in the mind
Beautiful tragic collections and revisions
The conundrum of neurology; conflict presides

Endowed with supreme cognition
Cursed, condemned by the residue of blind drives
Irreconcilable emotional juxtapositions
Humanities ironical demise

Profoundly ignorant, unabashed, and indifferent
Audacious opinions of uninformed certitudes
In the end, passions rule reason
The instinctual beast can’t be subdued

Like Lemmings to a cliff running blindly
Chasing those with no knowledge or esteem
If only one to be the wiser
Perhaps we awake from a really bad dream

Premium MemberLemmings Never Pay the Phone Company

"Tree huggers” use AT&T
The human cost catastrophe
On the horizon
Like text from Verizon
Is sent with the speed of 4G
 
Pollution's still booked at no 
cost
And Earth’s expenses neatly tossed
Off the balance sheet
With a "Sprint" so complete
The effects on nature seem lost 

Yes EPA rules do offend
Those who crave Earth’s wealth without end
They claim to hate debt
But have seen nothing yet
Like phone bills "T-Mobile" might send! 


Author's note:  It seems ironic and strange that debt haters (like tea party supporters, for 
example) and those who are pushing more reliance on fossil fuel and less "subsidy" for 
renewables (Romney/Ryan for example) support the continuation of policies and 
practices that will damage the environment and that will hurt future generations.  They are 
pushing growth and not pushing conservation.  I would have more respect for them if 
they talked about the costs as well as the benefits of their plans.  I wonder if it might just 
be a scam to reward large corporations for the short term and stick it to the rest of us for 
generations.  That would be nothing new.

Lemmings

En mass, a colossal fedora 
covering entire islands 
lunar eclipses 
Move in constant rhyme 
Pebbles the size of mighty thunderheads 
And rivers with caps will not hold you back 

Just a matter of time 
swarm the meadows and the forests 
leave clues but insufficient for the sleuth 
invincible, not corrupt but not holy, 
but why? 

counter the swells 
conquer the precipice 
for the journey is inimitably divine 

leap and bound 
not hungry 
unfeeling 
unseeing 
unmovable 
untouchable 
mortal 
not corrupt but not holy, 
but why? 

get there 
you will 
like millions of flying squirrels 
dancing on clouds 
surmount 
the highest of cliffs in the lightest of air 

leap 
to the next stone 
fall and drift, tumble and glide 
scurry in mid flight 
oh your bellies must buckle 

Oh why bounce your essence 
off the rocks of the sea 
bodies no more to be? 
not corrupt but not holy, 
but why?
