My Dad Was Just a Lad
Part 2

He was on a brand new ship,
The USS Horace Bass,
The KEEL was laid in ‘44
APD would be her class.

With a crew of over 200 strong,
But for most, their first...

Every family has a story, 
Then this was mine,with my grand mom
Nineteen Eighty Six,I hold her Hand 
I hold a polar ice drop on the other one.
I'm just a boy-
A yellow strings flew downward 
They...

There they stand
Swords in hand
The one has crossed their line
They wait so still
Lusting the kill
The one fears his own combine
Halos on the ground
Tossed with a frown
The one can feel the climb
His nation bleeds slow
His angels...

Sant's Village Rap.

It’s too cold up here in Santa’s Village
Where everything’s hand-made and vintage.
There ain’t no natural resources;
Just ice and snow, not even horses.

Got reindeer, y’know.	Ho, ho, ho.

It’s hard to make so many Christmas toys
For...

Premature to judge...

He’ll be okay, father reassured mother, he’ll be fine.
Dasher and Vixen wanted to scratch out Muddrocker’s eyes.
Santa was thrilled to see him on Christmas Eve, no big surprise.

The Levels

The reeds, like tattered banners limply hung
From slender, ghost-like lances held on high,
Like ancient armies, waiting in the mist
To heed the call, a long lost battle cry.
A steel grey shroud lies thinly on the...

The Teachers Are On Strike--Hooray 

By Elton Camp

When I was a kid, I’d have been delighted
If the teachers in a union became united

Not one single speck would I have cared
If an indefinite strike they had...

I need a bailout,
maybe a billion or two,
just something small to hold me,
until I figure out what to do.
My jet needs a washing,
my Hummer needs new paint,
and if the kids don't stop spending,
I think I...

Damn the wind and curse the sand,
Sunburned face and calloused hand.
Stranger in a foreign land called Outremer.

Take up arms when duty calls.
Prove to God you’ve got the balls.
Grit your teeth and storm the walls of...
