When this day gives way to night?

You ever heard those people who
always spout these conspiracies?
Think there’s schemes behind everything,
it’s just so laughable to me!
Like remember a few years back,
in the days of the orange man,
he claimed that his first opponent
had hatched...

I established a rapport 
with the Sacred Cow
and it stepped all over my toes
the oil of anointment in my crankcase
I was limping worthy of an asterisk
an army of monks couldn't keep me pure
laughing all the...

Every car crash, train wreck, 
Overdose, misstep,...

After Midnight
The narcissists fall
After Midnight
A new lyric calls

After Midnight
The bugles will blow
After Midnight
There’s more left to know

After Midnight
The lizards collect
After Midnight
All tales to reflect

After Midnight
The ticking won’t stop
After Midnight
The bottom has topped

After Midnight
A cancerous tome

A Texan rancher Samuel Maverick, 
Who never his calves and cattle branded, 
That caused to create the word maverick—
An eccentric rebel born of cow shed! 

Now, before the word breached its national, 
Borders it meant...

Getting older don’t you wonder

Where regal forts lie dormant now,
Once Maedbh beheld the Sacred Cow,

At Cruachan of the fifty mounds,
From Uaigh na gCat came Faery sounds,

A vision, behold, Róisín Dubh,
Symphony of my stolen love,

Never before a sight so fair,
Like...

Death bubbles by
in such a sorrowful state.

A snowflake melting
in the midst of life.

A rusty knife
the tip of which protrudes

Which brings us to an impasse.

Unobstructed,
Our...

You want me to write in metaphors
Twist meaning to fit the rhyme
Make the word count perfect

Use words out of context
Which have nothing really to say
My plain style not good enough
So change...

Dismissing evil and good
Upright and smiling he stood;
Materialistically modern in mood
Filled full with rationalist food;
Denying inherent sin
Liberally enlighten within.

Pursuing illusory appeal
With academic assumptions so unreal;
Denying inherent sin
So liberally...

Can marrying Lydia
Be a good idea
Or one to shrug off
And from her keep off?

Lydia would men ride
In her Giant Pride;
Not blinking her eyes
Drop them chosen lies:
“From parched lands heard ‘squelch’;
Beer drinkers don’t belch!”

Is shunning Lydia
