I could tell Nan’s getting bored with her knitting and crochet,
and her interest has been waning with the C-W-A.
To think the help I offered had become a huge regret -
I introduced my Nan to games played on the Internet.
On Sunday arvo’s we would visit Nan for scones and tea,
but later on she’s telling us to go to buggery.
Her doors are always locked and she’s thrown away the key,
so when peeping through a window, this is what I see.
CHORUS:
Bouncing numbers; flashing lights and Nan is on a roll,
as her fingers tap the keyboard - she’s completely lost control.
She argues with her laptop when she’s lost another round -
and God help all our family if the Internet goes down.
Nan’s made some subtle changes in the cottage that is hers.
Within reach of her laptop is now where her life occurs.
There’s a coffee urn beside her - ‘no-doze’ keeping her awake.
She curses Mother Nature when she needs a toilet break.
There’s debt collectors chasing Nan, but they too draw a blank,
even though she has got close to a million in the bank,
‘cause Nan won’t leave her laptop; she too afraid to lose.
I wish to God she’d get a virus or at least take up the booze.
CHORUS:
Bouncing numbers; flashing lights and Nan is on a roll,
as her fingers tap the keyboard - she’s completely lost control.
She argues with her laptop when she’s lost another round -
and God help all our family if the Internet goes down.
It took some time to cure Nan with intense therapy.
There’s no more computer games; it’s a family victory,
but Nan still locked her doors, and had her curtains drawn -
and peeping through a curtain STRUTH! - NAN’S ADDICTION TURNED TO ****.
BRIDGE:
I’ve had a talk to Nan over MY hot scones and tea.
I think computer games are best - and Nan did agree.
CHORUS:
Bouncing numbers; flashing lights and Nan is on a roll,
as her fingers tap the keyboard - she’s completely lost control.
She argues with her laptop when she’s lost another round -
and God help all our family if the Internet goes down.
Dear person within me, all I ask is that you forgive me for always letting you down.
Nothing you wanted was given to you, I regret this even now.
For every profound word spoken, for every sin and hearts that were broken, please take this token of my grief.
I only wish to find relief from my dark shadows. As they scream and howl, I feel their teeth piercing deep within my bone marrow.
If only I could kill them with arrows but no such weapon could harm them; they are my mistakes.
I'll do whatever it takes to gain your favor, just tell me the road to take.
I know the pain that you've suffer and the disappointments that you've faced.
I cant erase the past as for the future I draw a blank.
My poison is your poison for I know I am slowly dying every night I lay crying as I think of what my life has come to be.
I can not promise a new life, I can't swear things will change, I can only ask that you look at me and not hate my very existence.
We are one in the same, after all we must coexist or we will both fall.
Dear soul within me, all I ask is that you forgive me for all I have done.
I know it wasn't easy to put up with me, no it was the opposite of fun.
But I need you now more then ever, my friends are few but our heart is clever, we will endeavor together.
Come whatever we shall face all odds and stand up tall and laugh in the face of gods.
I will make you proud somehow... someway... one day very soon I can't keep pondering over this unrelenting doom. The vicious madness, the overwhelming sadness and the voices in my head everyone wants me dead but I will not give into there wishes.
We will survive even if the only one left fighting is me I will fight by my side.
Dear person who I have become.... will I ever come to forgive me?

"Prima Nocta"
No matter how hard I think
Still can't find the missing link
All night long I drink
I'm on the brink
No, I don't need a shrink
Or to consume more zinc
Trying to stay awake but continuing to blink
It will or won't sync
In person, by image or written in ink
Seeing good and things that really stink
It always took strength
To go to great lengths
It never did any good to draw a blank
Occasionally may have had to break the bank
Oh my goodness
No other way to put it
Couldn't stop doin' what I shouldn't
It's apparent
They say the devil wears it
I never once wore Prada
Problems I gotta
Lot of
Mr. Phantom of the Opera
Been really doing nada
Causing pointless drama
Even arguing with my mama
Sippin' whatever even beer, wine or vodka
Not a lot of agua
Causing my body trauma
All day and night long smoking marijuana
A Tragic Saga
Not saving up any commas
Hard to read my persona
Hakuna Matata
This is beyond Dogma
The Dalai Lama
Or praising "Allah"
From the Bahamas
To beyond Osaka
And Botswana
As well as Tijuana
I'm on a
Roll, I've been Godzilla, they've been Mothra
I've been an anaconda
They've been an iguana
Thinking it was funny like haha
How quickly, I'll pull up on ya
Catch them slippin' inside or out of their Honda
They've been Clapa
And Steapa
Warring since the Prima Nocta
To my friends I wanna
Holla
Keep stacking up them blues and every dolla
May you reach a state of nirvana
Among unique flora and fauna
The world freezing cold or hotta than a sauna
If I wanna
I'll continue spitting lava
Chose to consume Belladonna
Or to end it all with a Katana
For good Ta-ta
Sometimes..............I Think
Sometimes...
I think back to the days before you came into my life and I'm left wondering what I was
doing and how I made it through.
Sometimes...
I think of how full and complete my life feels with you in it and I can't do anything but smile.
Sometimes...
I think about how you could have and deserve so much more than I can offer yet, you still
stay.
Sometimes...
I think of you ambition and potential and am left asking myself if I'm a blessing to your gifts
or a burden.
Sometimes...
I think of times when we've argued and I've physically struck out at you. For those times I
am utterly embarrassed and desperately sorry.
Sometimes...
I think of my past relationships and wonder just how much of their BS is still my baggage
and how it'll effect what I’m trying to have with you.
Sometimes...
I think of where I'd be if you weren't here in my life and each time I draw a blank.
Sometimes...
I think of how it'd be to grow old with you, watching each other age and mature with time.
Sometimes...
I think I need to just stop and thank God a little more for sending you to me.
Sometimes...
I think that I couldn't love you anymore than I already do, then you go and do or say
something that makes me love you a little more.
Sometimes...
I think...
and all I can think of
is you.
(NOTHING MORE TO SAY)
I've seen the way you look at me
I've seen the way you look at them
Without wanting to admit, you hate everything I stand for
Lying to yourself, you are sweet, caring and better
Still, you look at me and hate everything I stand for
You are a cheat - A liar - A toilet flushing down rain
You seek and want my attention, yet you have no domain
Your THANK YOU's are cheaper than a grin on a Walmart bag
The light - The light - That shines upon your expression
Nothing more than.....
Sour grapes traveling towards the darkest region of the sun
Yes, simple prunes basking all the time!!!!!
Shaking powdered grapes from lobe to lobe
Watching humping wild hogs who can't eat cake
---Desperately you mock yourself---
Before you draw a blank, let me remind you
You look at me and hate everything I stand for
The way I smile, carry myself every day
I never claim to be perfect, but better with no anvil
You can't bear the way I stand in front of the soap display
I embrace with all my spirit, at the end of every day
I'm so glad I am nothing like you or them
In reality, I judged you the moment you walked in
Before the year ends, I will end my affair right here
I have nothing more to say
I hope you all have a great new year.
TaTa SKAT in the Hat
We picked up straws one by one,
Were chosen just by chance.
And thirteen men were drawn by lots,
With power to play God.
We marched in ordered single file,
To the armory went,
Each was given a tool of death
To kill with legal writ
Lone post stood in the central yard,
Pocked with pustilent sores,
Yet sturdy for a human weight
Without a bend or break.
We stood in single solemn row
Muttering silent prayers.
The hapless man was brought amain
And stood before the post.
His hands were tied around the mast
Blind-folded was he then,
Yet proud he stood without a fuss,
Moments before his death.
There was ammo in guns out there
Yet some were duds by law.
Oh how I hate the Firing Squad
I hope I draw a blank!
The sergeant in his booming voice
Said aim, we took our aim.
Fire, he said, in firmer tone.
We pressed the trigger then.
Lord, I had prayed with all fervour,
Let me not be the one
Who spills the life blood of this man,
Lord let mine be a blank!
The stutter of the guns were stilled,
Man was ragdoll now.
I sighed and saw my gun was jammed
I'd drawn a blank indeed!
So now I sleep with conscience clear
The Good Lord jammed my gun
And forever spared me the doubt
If I had drawn a blank!

( MISTAKE )
I must admit that I have often thought
of leaving it all behind and letting everything go
I was lost and alone, as I always am,
So many people around me,
Yet no one seems to care.
They say they understand and love me very much,
But just when I Trust to love, they forget and move on.
I held the knife so close
as tears, mixed with blood,
Began to fall slowly.
Like a foolish child I cried.
Knowing that I could end it all now
made my mind draw a blank.
I put the knife away and tried to wipe the blood,
that ran faster than I can describe.
I knew suicide wasn't the answer I was looking for.
I knew there was a reason for me being alone.
So many bad things happening at once -
They can make you forget
About the good qualities of life.
Even though life is hard,
and trouble an inevitable part of it.
If you decide to leave it all behind,
maybe you will,
but I can guarantee that others
....Your Mistake will haunt

How can someone draw a blank
Now that's a real poser
How d'ya know if it's new and improved dog food
Eating that stuff's not kosher
Are there seeing eye humans for blind dogs
Sound quite logical to me
If the Energizer Bunny attacks someone
Is it charged with battery
Is it true that cannibals don't eat clowns
Because they taste so funny
If feathers tickle people, do they tickle birds?
Bet it's better than even money
Why does every toaster have a setting
That will burn the toast to a crisp
Can women put on mascara with their mouth closed
Why do holes in most donuts exist
Here's one I'll bet you've never thought of
Do birdies ever need to pee
If so, perhaps those sprinkles of rain that fall
Aren't really rain between you and me
Why do hot dogs come in packages of eight
While the buns come in packs of ten
Tell me what do they put in for colour of hair
On the drivers licenses of bald men
