Ghost Of Tsali Comes

Lost in mist and maze
Ghost of Tsali in the corn
River water runs

Colors of fall alive
“Til moon replaces sun
That’s when Tsali comes 

Corn roots cling to bone
As he tends the empty weirs
This spot...

Escape the madness of the city LIFE.  The JUNGLE.

Anticipated the next siren.  So...

Lili Marlene

In times of war, love can subdue cynical adversaries
(Men separated from their vocation, now filled with hatred)
And quell the beast inside their misdirected hearts,
And free their consciences, to allow sorrows’ comfort.

A noisy silence pervades...

My little running buddy, my best furry friend 
You came into my life
As a white bundle of goofy bichon
Dressed up as a terrier.

Climbed up onto the...

At Seventh Street & Florence Avenue.
Vehicles in pristine finished.
Bragging Rights Mint Condition.

They try to get the inside scoop
By beginning to snoop
But they're just full of poop

Pathetic how low they're willing to stoop
Against...

The Rum Runners

Dry was the USA a hundred years ago.
Prohibition just begun, and spirits running low.
Then, to the rescue, fishermen, fresh from the Georges Bank,
Weighed down their boats with “demon rum” instead of fishing tanks.

Is party pooper and things are a blooper
With Hillary items are always tangible
His hair is orange and unmanageable.

Instead of what of them
Shout out to my cousins
Damn look what the cat drug in
People often buggin'

Endlessly fussin'
Fighting over an english muffin
Usually from one being...

Resulting in a mysterious misunderstanding;
At Midway and Two Eleven much wind blows;
Have heard there won't be the likes of Lowes.
