Conejo Conejito Tango (Bunny Rabbit Tango)
The mesmerizing twilight dims
across a lake a warm breeze skims
Buck, the handsome rabbit drinks,
he has no doe; his love life stinks.
He stares at his reflection, sighs
when suddenly, his long ears rise
he hears a low, soft rustle near
he stands straight up, tries not to leer
but in the gloaming, gold and green
a gorgeous hare, a beauty queen!
With one ear up, the other folds
her peek-a-boo is flirty, bold.
She holds his gaze and lifts her chin,
he charges forward, she leaps to spin
and drops back down, in perfect pose
she lifts her paws to box his nose.
The tango music fills their veins,
the wind blows out their bunny manes
they pivot, leap and promenade
in moon-streaked shadow, cooling shade.
The forward cross, the ocho, turn
there is no step they need to learn
the side secada, quick advance
they both were born to dance this dance.
The dance complete, he falls asleep
she hops away, his snores are deep
She looks back in fondness, glad
she chose this buck to be a dad.
He thinks
without drinks
Life stinks
Tell him this
Without drinks
he thinks
I know that beauty is superficial, what's important in a person is how they are internal.
But she makes me think of Kentucky Fried Chicken because she looks like the Colonel.
When people see her, they all think that she founded KFC.
I've tried and tried to get rid of her but she won't dump me.
i even let her catch me in bed with her cousin and her little sis.
When she saw what was happening, she wasn't even pissed.
i broke her arm and she had to wear a cast
This relationship won't end even though I want to put it in the past.
When I said that I wanted to break it off, she threatened to throw acid in my face.
I want to hire a hitman to take her out because I hate her, our relationship is a disgrace.
She proposed to me and I said no but she wants us to get married and so does her Pa.
He's going to force me to marry her with his shotgun and then he'll be my father-in-law.
My life stinks, things are going from bad to worse.
I want somebody to shoot me to end this curse.
You won't see a smile on my face because I feel nothing but gloom.
I'm in a situation that I can't get out of, I'm a man who is doomed.
She has no friends; the one friend that she had
she threw away for a silly reason.
Her father died, and she became so sad;
she has been four years now in grief’s season!
She denigrates her peers because she thinks
they lack her wisdom and maturity
and thinks that everything about life stinks,
thus oozing angst and insecurity!
She speaks her mind but doesn’t know how mean
she sounds to others or that all her strife
is felt by other teens at seventeen.
She’s soon to face a big change in her life.
Because her loved ones care, she’ll learn to grow.
The creep in her shall soon be letting go!

If love is a game I need a referee
If sex is a game I want instant re-play
I played the game of life but fouled out
Life stinks (Forgot to take a shower his morning)
Just my luck, life was but a dream and my alarm went off
Does a bear sh-t in the woods? (Don't think Polar Bears do)
When pigs fly, my windshield's in BIG trouble
The egg came before the chicken but some fool sat on it
I want to fly like an eagle but I have a fear of heights
NEVER venture outdoors when it's raining cats and dogs
Maggots began the tradition of getting married in June
She told me to go fly a kite but the take-off was rather chaotic
Two neighbors gossiped over an electric fence and were shocked at the news
If you need someone to lean on make sure they don't have Vertigo
A new cemetery employee is often assigned to the graveyard shift
A harried and harassed mother accidentally threw the bath water out with the baby
Due to inflation, every time it rains it rains, quarters from heaven
I took the money and ran but ran into an old friend...
EVERY BODY'S NEW YEAR.
There is something, something going on
No one knows it, but something is wrong
Everybody around to end the year
Celebrating this year last cheer
Counting from 10-1, forgetting 2012 is near
The ignorance of this world has hit again.
Spreading happiness through every window pane
Sending hugs and kisses to every friend
Forgetting the feelings of the times we felt insane
Relaxing to the joy we create.
Acting like we enjoyed every day.
Passing smiles on this one day
This day, the whole world celebrates
For this one day we all await
Asking to shake the hands of the ones we hate
Forgetting about the worlds ~2012~ due' date
Cheer from me before it gets too late
10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,,1
Kiss, Kiss, Hug, Hug
Happy new years, everyone!
By-gones~ be bygones
Cheers, cheers, toast your beer.
My new resolutions list is here.
In one blink of the eye its over
And a new year begins..
Look at it this way, we have 365 days.
To say life stinks all over again.
Happy new years to that, my friend!!
