We are happy to let you know that you have qualified for a $500,000 new house free of charge,
Said a computerized voice when I answered my phone.
No thank you, I say, and I click the receiver.
Brrrrinnnnnnggggg.
Did you just hang up on me? A monotone computer voice asks me.
Amazing!
I hang up the phone.
Brrrrinnnnnnggggg.
The robotic voice says sternly, “I have reported you to the Technological Society. Police will be arriving.”
What?
I laugh and hang up.
The officers are at my door in seconds.
“Are you prejudiced against computers?” Officer Sternly asks me.
No.
“Did you hang up on one?”
Yes.
“Why?”
The computer swore at me, I tell him.
A total lie, but I doubt this is going any farther.
So now the computers have more rights than I do in my own home?
Just when I thought things could not get any more ridiculous!
To add insult to injury, my sister-in-law got the free $500,000 house.
When we go out you want to know
What time we’ll be back and where will we go
I say for a meal or maybe a show
We’ll be back soon; we just go with the flow
But when you go out and are going to be late
How come you never reciprocate?
You go out of the door without a by your leave
Are you with Peter or maybe with Steve?
I know you are sensible not easily lead
But the hours tick by and I head off to bed
The clock winks at me; and the hours pass by
I’m starting to worry I just want to cry
I get up for some caffeine free tea
And look at the clock it’s gone half past three
So I return to bed and try and sleep
Each time I turn over it’s at the clock I peep
It’s now half past five and I’m starting to worry
No phone call or text, oh why don’t you hurry
Finally I hear the key turn in the lock
I breathe a sigh of relief and can ignore the clock.
Can’t keep my mind steady
Paranoid about where I’m headed
Asking me why I changed
I tried not to
But at the time
It seemed inevitable
Leaving spectators to judge my heart
Tell me was it credible
Rumors become curtesy of lynching’s
Secular thoughts
trapped in traditional dimensions
Trying to make it to a new year
Upon completion of duel semesters
But I can’t with draw from beefing
With these crooked city officials
Going through what I’m going through
I look to the future
And wonder how I’ll make it financially
My conscience is ignoring the thought
Leaving the reality of the subject
To answer me
I’m paying my taxes
Yet still in courtrooms
I’m awaiting legal faxes
Brutalized and feeling less than human
Thinking to myself, “I’ll stack my riches”
And in twenty years you’ll see a new man
Sleeping with a pistol
Awaking by every wind that whistles
it's become less considerable
to maintain a comfort at ease
Contemplating going to war against individuals
I know I can’t beat
But my refusal to allow them
To bring me to my knees
Has brought warmth to my shoulders and sleeves
Caught up in traffic can I escape detainment
It appears that I missed a court arraignment
Maybe it’s my suffering that you call entertainment
Got a phone call from a love
In Wisconsin, running in the snow
Said she was wondering how I was
Wishing me a happy new years
And wondering how things were going
In the open Monroe
She giggled and told me
She was reminiscing of us cuddled up
Snacking on cheese curdles
She laughed and said I miss you
I laughed and said
I see you still smile like an untouched pearl
There's a picture that I fold
Up in my heart so I can hold
You closely to me when I find
I'm about to lose my mind
Without you here I can't survive
I don't even feel alive
Numb and frozen in the past
With the heartache I was cast
Not ever able to forget
How someones foolish actions left
Me in a world of loneliness
Getting out of this bad mess
Is going to take a while
Everyday I see a smile
That used to beam a pure soft light
On me every day and night
But so quickly you were taken
Leaving my whole body shaking
Replaying the phone call recieved
Stunned I was in disbelief
The words I heard seemed jumbled
In my mind as they were mumbled
By police with the bad news
They were tryna find the clues
Leading to the death of
My one and only perfect love
Someone left you in a pool
Of red blood what can I do
To live with this huge nightmare
As I see you everywhere
Things were difficult enough, before things had changed,
My mind rushed to deal with things that just got rearranged.
It's been so long and I'm not sure what to say,
My life took a turn on me, back on that day.
My eyes were covered with pain so deep,
Nothing had prepared me for this painful trip.
Things were moving along so smooth,
then one phone call, made my earth move.
I cared about nothing, but what was in front,
expecting you to be mad, for pulling this stunt,
Ashamed of myself for not being better,
Not sure I could say how in this letter.
But I want you to know, I missed you all so much,
Hopefully, I'm back and haven't lost my touch.
I speak to you now, from deep within my heart,
I'm not the same person, simply just one part.
Part of my soul has died and will never be the same,
I must grieve and move forward now without any shame.
I am so sorry that I left you all my dear friends,
All I can say, is that I will try to make amends.
I'm not sure what to expect, from pouring my heart out like this,
You should know that you all deserve better, I give you one big kiss.
When I think of you, I sincerely think of true pure love
When I dream of a love that deep, you are the one in which I dream of
A love so kind and tender
It would make a heart skip a beat and leave a soul to certain surrender
A love extremely full of passion, so far beyond lust
An honestly so brutal, that you know with every essence of your being in them you can
completely trust
However, it has been explained to me, many times, and in so many ways
That the time has come for me to say
Even feeling how I do for you
In this moment, you don’t feel that way for me to
Just because I sense you do
Don’t just make it real or true
Your silence, thus far, speaks quietly in loud earth shattering volumes, which drove me insane
Now it’s time to find myself some sort of comfort while I struggle to let go of the pain
I have to start living life for me
There’s so much of the world to see
Who knows what I will or won’t find
However, I have to get out there and stop leaving me behind
You will always hold a huge part
Of my mind, my soul, most importantly my heart
But you’ve known that from the day we met, yeah they were yours from the very start
I have to do this for you, but more so, I need this so badly for me
So down this new road I’ll walk not yet knowing where it’s going to lead or what’s quite going
to come to be
And who knows what the days ahead will bring to us
But for now, I can’t any longer sit on this shelf collecting all this dust
When and if you’re ever ready for us to be any part in each other’s lives, I’m only just a
phone call away
Until that time, that I know may never come, your memory I will hold safe everyday
I hope this is only so long and not goodbye
And I can’t, nor will I promise that I won’t have tears that I may sometimes need to cry
All I can say is to do my best with moving on with my life, all I can surly promise is to,
everyday and each night, keep true to try
Out of nowhere I received
A call that brought me to my knees
Making me turn weak and shake
The news was more than I could take
It was shocking and unreal
There was nothing I could feel
Going numb and frozen still
I couldn't speak I lost my will
To control any emotions
Each one of my body functions
Just shut down and left me in
The worst kind of sad condition
That I've never felt before
I finally fell to the floor
As the shock of what I heard
Kept repeating word for word
Over and over it just played
My heart felt like it was slayed
Tortured knowing you wont be
Making memories with me
Since you were taken so fast
How long will this heart pain last
I can't replace what you have meant
Why did that fatal incident
Take away my universe
This tortures getting so much worse
Waking up without you near
There is nothing to compare
What I'm about to go through
Without days of having you
In my life to love and hold
My whole worlds about to fold
And crumble into tiny pieces
Until my life finally ceases
Disappearing into nothing
I can't survive without your loving
Two guys at the corner of Fifth and Grant,
were looking pretty far down on their luck.
Because their beat-up old station wagon,
just got T-boned by a Ford pickup truck.
The light was green for that station wagon,
but that truck just slammed right into their car.
After they all got out and walked about,
looked like that truck driver came from the bar.
That station wagon was a mangled mess,
one guy had some blood oozing from his head.
I said to myself, it could have been worse,
thank Heaven nobody’s bad hurt, or dead.
The cop showed up a few minutes later,
asked them what the heck was going on here.
The truck driver said, Billy Bob old friend,
those boys there smell like they was drinking beer.
The cop hemmed and hawed then cleared his throat,
he said you know it looks perfectly clear.
I see what you’re saying is true, Judge Brown,
these boys will be locked up for fifty years.
So, they hauled those guys to the county jail,
told them that they don’t need any phone call.
Cause if they want to get out of this mess,
the best thing was to confess to it all.
The sheriff wrote it all out on paper,
said that it was going to be all right.
He told them, sign your name here on this line,
then you might be out by tomorrow night.
The next morning, they went to the courtroom,
their lawyer was the judge’s son-in-law.
Billy Bob showed the judge their confession,
the biggest case this county ever saw.
There was murder, rape, theft, and robbery,
with a whole lot of other crimes thrown in.
Every unsolved case the sheriff had faced,
was listed in the charges against them.
The judge slammed his gavel on the desktop,
said haul these boys off to the calaboose.
What say we go down and have a few rounds,
cause this one calls for a couple of brews.
Now ain’t that just the way life seems to go,
some days it don’t pay to get out of bed.
You’ll be cruising along, singing your song,
with the warm sun shining down on your head.
Then the day starts to turn cold and dreary,
though that is not what the weatherman said.
Some dirty bird flies by and drops his pie,
now your day has turned all nasty instead.
During the hustle-bustle of
this festive occasion of Christmas,
it behooves us to find time
to turn our hearts to God
for the realization of perpetual peace.
Until now
what I thought was warm and holy,
Like the welcoming glow of a campfire scene
when a wisp of smoke spiraled up
from the trees
and the revelers danced around
in a kaleidoscope of light and shadows,
ended up for me so cold and hollow.
The mass hysteria that characterizes
the week before Christmas
is like a chaotic classroom
full of unsupervised hyper kids
when the teacher had left
to go take a phone call,
A cacophony of deafening mixture
of jumbled sounds
as if it’s but a week ahead
of the coming Apocalypse.

Christmas Song parodies
Feliz Navidad
Police! Oh my god!
Police! Oh my god!
Police! Oh my god!
Put me in handcuffs because I rob.
I Wanna phone call this very instant!
I Wanna phone call this very instant!
I Wanna phone call this very instant!
I beg pardon with all my heart!
Away In A Manger
Away to Aruba I wish I could go
But I've used all of my PTO
I don't have the money to get over there
My account is empty, I'm paycheck impaired
Rocking Around the Christmas Tree
Rocking in my old folks chair
Trying to recall my own name
Mr.Edwards takes a might fall
Trying to walk with a candy cane
You will get a hallucinating feeling when you hear
Voices saying your names Holly
Yet! I don't think my names Holly
Rocking in my old folks chair
That doesn't mean I'm done
Come visit me after my third or fourth nap
and we're sure to have some fun!
The Little Drummer Boy
I just finished Christmas treats
Tum tum tum tum tums
There's food I'm not supposed to eat
Tum tum tum tum tums
Digestion has been on the blink
Tum tum tum tum tums
Oops, afraid that one will stink
Tum tum tum tum tums
Tum tum tum tums
Tum tum tum tums
You know where that came from
Tum tum tum tum tums
From my bum. From my bum.
Up On the Housetop
Up on the house top he hears claws,
Scratching and roaring, oh my god!
Is it a panther or lioness?!
You've had too many, just confess!
Woah ho ho!! Over he goes!
Woah ho ho!! Right in the snow.
He's up on the housetop getting sick...
Ladders and alcohol don't mix!
