Will there ever be total peace in the world
Or am I just a silly old goon
As long as loonies want more than their share
Even want a piece of the moon
Good people of earth will forever resist
When countries get too big for their britches
And want much more than they're entitled
Like a bigger share of the world's riches
They risk the chance of destroying our planet
Destroying it for their own greedy plans
They can't be allowed to accomplish their goals
The future of mankind is at hand
These brutal subhumans must be stopped at all cost
Their plan is usually world domination
Sound familiar? Reminiscent of World War II?
Must avoid the same contamination
So with the time I have left of a wonderful life
What a fitting climax it would be
To wake up one morning before getting the call
Finding all world's people are free!

On a night sable, my door hastily thrown
abducted in a rush by one-eyed loonies,
neon- yellow skin reflecting oval heads
whisking me in a shuttle, circling far away.
Taken to a realm where their master reigned,
impish a jabber, worse than 'Nanu, Nanu ,'
stuttering words, a version of 'Yabba daba doo!'
until minions got enticed by my own Beyonce tune.
While I hummed some more, they gathered in peace
their nimble fingers reading my human mind.
But as time was running out for an escape,
everyone heard the despotic lord, groaning aloud
dressed in a chrome-like armor, totally grim
ordering the puppets, his slaves for my deadly fall.
Instead, all minions clobbered this evil one
as the land of orbit grew warm in sunset's kiss,
happy loonies practicing new lyrics, Beyonce's song.

one evening in the desert the moon began to glow
far off in the western sky the sun was sinking low
i looked out on the mesa and lo what did i see
lights of blue and yellow purple red and even green
i slowly started walking to see what i could see
the lights were getting closer then a voice called out to me
hello and sir how are you on this clear and summer night
we come from kuna dola just to see your earthly sights
he said please mr earthling now dont you tell a soul
that we were on the desert underneath the moonlights glow
i said dont worry kuna i will tell no one today
they would lock me up with loonies and throw the key away
Well, The National Loonies League is on the prowl again this year,
Merrily chipping away at the Christmas traditions we hold dear.
Seems to me they could find something more productive to pursue,
And let others celebrate Christmastide as they choose to do!
I recall Christmas Tree Lightings on the village square.
Good heavens! Even a Nativity Scene was on display there!
Happy faces were all aglow as they joined in joyous carol.
Today, horrified loonies claim such things subject us to peril!
I recall when the term "Merry Christmas" didn't cause offense.
Nowadays, they claim this cheery greeting makes little sense!
Even Santa's "Ho, Ho, Ho" is deemed politically incorrect today.
Alas, even religions squabble over the proper symbols to display!
Are we going to stand by while they mount their bold assault?
Or speak up and bring such trumpery to a screeching halt!
Christmas Day is set apart to herald a King's Holy Birth,
A time for reflection, sharing, fellowship, love and mirth!
Loonies are free to observe whatever it is they commemorate.
It's none of their business how others choose to celebrate!
They may celebrate the winter solstice are whatever is their proclivity,
But as for me and my house - we'll celebrate the Nativity!

Well, I moved into town to live like a city slicker,
Loaded my truck, found a place, and here I am,
Though a country boy has a head a bit thicker,
City life is not so hard to understand,
And I've been learnin' how to use a computor,
How to do some picture takin' with a cell phone,
How to get insurance for my truck and motor scooter,
But city life is nothing like back home,
Because where I come from, they call it the boonies,
Dirt roads, back woods, life as country as can be,
Though now I'm mixed in with all the town loonies,
They'll never take the country out of me,
Yea, I can still plant me a nice little garden,
Though not nearly as big as it use to be,
And still listen to country music, Dolly Parton,
She's on my coffee mug for all to see,
And I still get to do some dear huntin'
For those split tails runnin' 'round here,
And I make sure to keep my truck tuned and runnin'
By way of Auto Zone, or I'd run out of beer,
Yea, I livin' in the hood, straight from the boonies,
It's great be an American and free,
Though I'm mixed in good with all the town loonies,
They'll never take the country out of me,
Yea, I moved into town to live like a city slicker,
And I'm doin' the best that I can...
I can drive by Churchill Downs and hear the horses nicker,
I'm just a country boy with a city slicker plan,
I can drive by Churchill Downs and hear the horses nicker,
I'm still a country boy, yea, that's who I am,
Though a country boy has a head a bit thicker,
City life is not so hard to understand.
Need a cuddle, are you available?
I promise not to linger too long
Maybe seven, maybe eight days or so
Maybe until the break of dawn
Just enough time to satisfy my craving
That haunts me day and night
Gonna wind up in the bin for loonies
Not tasting your sweet delights
Need a cuddle, please say you're available
To take me to heaven's door
I promise not to overstay my welcome
Till eternity, not a wee bit more
Sure must've done something quite heroic
To deserve your tender sweet love
Can't think of what it could have been
But you've given my heart a shove
Succumbed to your sweet delicate beauty
Many many years ago
The flame's stayed alive for all this time
Still making this old heart glow
Need a cuddle, are you available?
Promise not to linger too long
Maybe an eternity plus a couple of life times
An eternity filled with song
Need a cuddle, are you available?
I promise not to linger too long
Maybe seven, maybe eight hours or so
Maybe until the break of dawn
Just enough time to satisfy my craving
That haunts me day and night
Gonna wind up in the bin for loonies
If I can't taste your sweet delights
Need a cuddle, please say you're available
To take me to heaven's door
I promise not to overstay my welcome
Till eternity, not a moment more
Sure must've done something quite heroic
To deserve your tender sweet love
Can't think of what it could have been
But you've given my heart a shove
Succumbed to your sweet delicate beauty
Many many years ago
The flame's stayed alive for all this time
Still making this old heart glow
Need a cuddle, are you available?
Promise not to linger too long
Maybe an eternity plus a couple of lifetimes
An eternity filled with song
Thinking all of this time
that I stood next to giants
'til I realized those giants were mad
But what brought me here
was impulsive stupidity
I see now that I have been had
Why seek fame and glory
when those who would give it
are truly a senseless lot?
I'll waste no more time
nor anymore energy
in giving them all that I've got
Theirs is no standard
to which I aspire
I'd sooner bed down with the hogs
For there is more honor
right there in the mud
than among all those rabid dogs
The loonies are now
in charge of the nuthouse
The owner turned over the keys
But I will not beg
nor will I borrow
I'll not even offer a 'please'
I no longer need them
I'll go my own way
Their nakedness has been exposed
There's no getting through
the madness of giants
Their eyes and their minds are all closed
Need a cuddle, are you available?
I promise not to linger too long
Maybe seven, maybe eight hours or so
Maybe until the break of dawn
Just enough time to satisfy my craving
That haunts me day and night
Gonna wind up in the bin for loonies
If I can't taste your sweet delights
Need a cuddle, please say you're available
To take me to heaven's door
I promise not to overstay my welcome
Till eternity, not a moment more
Sure must've done something quite heroic
To deserve your tender sweet love
Can't think of what it could have been
But you've given my heart a shove
Succumbed to your sweet delicate beauty
So many many years ago
The flame's stayed alive for all this time
Still making this old heart glow
Need a cuddle, are you available?
I promise not to linger too long
Just an eternity plus a couple of lifetimes
Or infinity filled with love songs
In Canada we have nice currency,
pretty banknotes and shiny coins;
oh, what if time was replaced by money,
I think that would be strange !
Lesley said- have time to meet for coffee,
well, I measure time in money;
so, it will cost you a sweet $20 green banknote,
oh, she said, forget it !
Hi said Joan, time for a long hike today,
time, well how long are we talking;
because my time will cost a red $50 banknotes,
right, well never mind then !
My monthly fun dance classes costs me time,
measured out that's a $100 brown banknote;
the laundry takes time and lots of loonies,
and tons of toonies too !
