I've lived in Idaho before they turned our state sideways to resemble a gun
Seen lively conversation stop midsentence aftering catching a glimpse      Of the sun

Yeah and some may say we...

are these not strange?
why are we not careful about...

We love our silly Grazillas,
Who eat chocolate ice cream because they don't like vanilla.
They prefer lumpy pillas,
As they nap under the willas.
They eat salt by the pillas,
And watch only chinchillas.
They prefer to work as millas,
They...

Well perhaps I should talk about foreclosure,
Let’s see, at first as it begins to happen
 it feels like your life is being flattened
By a big ole dozer.
It is an especially dire , disheartening fate,
When one’s...

I say taters instead of potatoes
I say maters instead of tomatoes
My tongue is full of hillbilly idioms
I often say yeah when some would say yes
Sometimes I say “I reckon” when what I mean
Is I suppose...

Our love above all others, with our kindred dear
Male and female like phoenix from the dust
We are the pioneers of faithfulness and trust
So JSA, JSA, we...

Snapping beans, the summer pastime
Filling Mason jars
With cornfield or half runners
Filling a crock with layers
Of beans and corn, canning salt
For pickled beans and corn
That would make my mouth water

Peeling ripe red tomatoes
That I called maters
Cutting...

To places I never dreamed of seeing all around this earth!
On ships, trains and airplanes visiting fascinating ports of call,
And dining in hoity-toity...

Every day we woke up hungry.
We ate our little bowls of freedom 
At the breakfast table.
Then Momma washed the breakfast dishes.

In the summer,
Momma grew maters and beets.
She stooped in earnest to keep us fed.
We sopped...

We lassoed the moon and it gave us a wink.
My friend Teddy and I. Giraffe took a drink.
We were in the waters of the Nile, a beautiful place.
The moon glowed brilliantly, shone bright on my...

What can you boil, mash and stick in a stew,
Share yours with me, I'll share mine with you.
What comes in lovely golden chips,
You can bake them or they can even be whipped.
They come in beautiful...

Beyond the relics stance tainted feigned glory, 
the achievers had gifted us their puzzles,
speckled based best in their field of theory,
like Baia hot baths, can't stomach its guzzles,
aloft or cavernous, or in a quarry,
like those...

A believer in God
killing babies fun fun fun
rape, well I blame all sides

Forgive
my hate
and ignorance
and silence when it maters

I have traveled no where
have no conscience
love those who disparage the weak
the weak are terrorist
the nerve of...

"Our lives are like a book,
Chapters document the trips we took

In each phase of our lives,
Pen to paper does not lie

Some chapters are light and gay,
Others are tough as we made our way

Others we don’t...

Just a small tike I was
My Grandma grew a garden,
I liked them maters because.

Off  to the garden we’d go.
He’d pick me some, and I...

Nothing maters in this world
Everything is about the sword
Everything is about the gold
And even if you have soul of gold

I’ll have to confess
Such soul is almost worthless
We all fallow our destiny
When I was younger I...

A doctor, a lawyer, a actress, a teacher
I can be either one or the other
But I get discoraged by human nature

ETERNAL FAN

Football’s in the
air
All the colleges
prepare
Students don colors
Excitement
everywhere
It seems like just
yesterday

At the stadium
Alma maters by the
bands
Cheerleaders
tumbling
A vendor throwing
peanuts
To customers in the
stands

And here comes the
team
Pride of Smith
Center Teachers
Dressed in red and
white
I was there with all
my friends
Wildly...
