Click Your Heals Dorothy I Want To Go Home To Kansa

Take on board this as a potential movie script
that will never get made

Of a traveling advertising salesman visiting Kansas City named Chris

Who endeared himself to the young lady hotel bar-keeper called Laura he was staying at

Fast forward to day 2 after chatting casual musings
between tender and customer

And an initial friendship struck up

This is where the conversation went

So where are you from Chris

I'm from Liverpool Laura

Oh where the Beatles are from ?

Yip the very same one

So how long are you still here for ?

Only another 2 day's i leave Saturday 

My shift finishes tomorrow at 6pm

If your not doing anything and you want i'll show you around the city if you want ?

That's very kind of you Laura thank you
but i'm sure you have something better to do than show me around 

Honestly i don't mind and you seem like a nice person 

Ok then cheers

So what would you like to do or see then ?

We'll the least i can do is take you out for dinner 

Where is the best place to get a steak here ?

And the rest i'll leave up to you it's your home town after all

The next day during dinner

I have to say great choice this
steak is unbelievable

So what is your story Laura ?

What do you mean ?

Well you know a bit about me

But how come a nice young girl like you is
out spending your friday night with me ?

Well if you really want to know i have just
been diagnosed with a terminal brain tumor
and i have been given 6 month's to live

So i am trying to spend my remaining time left
doing things i would never normally do

So here i am ,
Sorry

Wow

That i was not expecting
I don't quite know exactly what to say or do with that

Try mumbo jumbo chicken gumbo soup saith dumbo

Yours truly an unfortunate hostage

before bidding kith and kin
and fellow humans permanent adieu.

Old Betsy - Part 3

Old Betsy is my shotgun and she keeps most salesmen away.
But some come on my property but they sure as hell don't stay.
Old Betsy shoots the hats off of their heads and she shatters their windshields.
Because of Old Betsy, they drive away because they think that they'll be killed.
One man took off running and left his car behind.
I don't know who he was but now his car is mine.
One salesman thought that I'm a transvestite because he had heard rumors.
That damn moron was trying to sell me a dress and a pair of women's bloomers.
I shot the cigar right out of that idiot's mouth.
He jumped in his car and started driving south.
They try to unload junk on me but because of Old Betsy, they fail.
If you ever come on my property, you'd better not be trying to sell.

Whispers From The Stone

Verse 1

Epitaph for a Shy Guy

He spoke in secrets ,shadows said so sweet,
A murmur,muted,on the main street.
His silence screamed a story,softly,slow,
A secret sparkle scarcely seen to glow.
The quietest voice was quote,we carefully
quote it still,
His peaceful presence,a perfect,peaceful
perfect pill.
 
Verse 2.

Epitaph for the Baadjievanger  (1)

He snared,the swift,sly,silver-tongued
salesman,
Who wove his webs, winning with wit,when
the world began.
His dreams were a dream, a dazzling dreadful
disaster,
He caught all the cash,moving closer,then
faster.
The final fool fell for fate's false flatter,
His promises proven dust, do they even
matter?

Baadjievanger-A hanger-on,a scammer,opportunist, trickster

Verse 3.

Epitaph for the king of Bling

Here lies a life lined with lovers and
loudness,
A silver sky sparkling several sounds of
stunning soundness.
He wore gold gleaming,his soul's silver song,
But glitter's gone,grandeur's gone,a glimmer
gone gone.
The final flash has faded,a silent, sober
state so swift,
His most mighty magnificence,a memory's
miserable myth.

Verse 4.

Epitaph For the Great Tycoon

A power prince,he piled profits past
the planet's peak,
He bought bank buildings and a billion
bank notes for a break,.
His grip on gold,greatest of governments,
gloomed so grand,
But all his stocks and shares now sleep
beneath the same sand.
He made millions and a mountain of material
money,
Yet mortal making means memory's most
melancholy morning.

Verse 5

Epitaph for a gangster

Here lies a life lived fast and loud,
A silent shadow in the subway street crowd.
His guns are silent,glory's grave,
A kingpin's kingdom nothing could save.
The darkest deeds now dust and dream,
only the diamond death did secretly seam.

Verse 6

Epitaph for a Drunkard

He drank the day,he drained the darkest
dram,
A storm of spirits, slurring slam,
He found his freedom in the fluid flow,
His journey's joke, the bottle's bitter 
blow.
The final bar is closed,the tab is settled low,
He's now not near the nectar nor the glass's
glow

Premium Member Johnny Rocko the Chicago Salesman

Johnny Rocko was born to be a salesman.
His words are breezy.
He has a devil-may-care attitude.
His ways are playful and jaunty.
He is the pied piper of Chicago.

Other young men rush to buy his wares.
They love his schemes, his ideals and his ideas.
He wines and dines them, and they have a great time.
Some of them have been cut off from their inheritance.
They stick around anyway; he is the sun. They bask next to him.

Johnny Rocko is debonair and delightfully dashing.
He is a rakish playboy-like salesman.
It does not matter what he is selling, people want to buy.
He always has beautiful women rubbing his back.
Most of them are like him, attractive and unrestrained.

Premium Member Ma'Am

The Webb’s my second Mommy and Daddy of the year ; It’s only June
 Mr. Carver, the social worker rambles on as we pull into the driveway 
 My five year old eyes open wide as I see the giant mansion dotted with children
 Ten new brothers and sisters, painfully shy, fear elevated to a joyful want of family

 Sunday dinner, introductions: Mr. Webb a Fuller Brush salesman , meek and gentle
 Mrs. Webb a stay at home Mom, a beautiful woman : with wicked sky blue eyes
 Alice the oldest of us all, looked up to by her younger siblings ,the Rock of the kids
 Virginia, frail , the twins Joe and Jim, rambunctious, Bobby, the loner, Millie,deaf 
  I would learn sign language. Rebecca, shy as me, William, Mom’s favorite. Dotty
  The humorous one. George six month older than me, soon to be my closest brother
                                                I slept well that night
 Good morning, Harry I’m going to work I’ll be back Friday night, a chorus of Goodbyes
 The nightmare begins :  Harry you will call me Ma’am you snotty nosed little bastard
 Alice, Joe, fill the bath tub this filthy little boy must be cleansed .Ma’am he’s only five
 Don’t sass me ***** with a slap across the face Alice fell to the floor. The tub filled
 The chlorine made my eyes water,tears rolled down my cheeks. Are YOU Crying?
 If your going to live in this house YOU will be a man now scrub your genitals, did you 
 Hear me? Mom; several slaps to the head ,YOU WILL call me Ma’am, now scrub
With tears flooding my cheeks, Ma’am I don’t know what genitals are, the bleach burning
Ma’am beating me with a Fuller Brush scrub brush dry yourself, go upstairs get dressed
As I limped by the girl’s room I saw Millie, Ginny straped to their beds I started to help
Alice gently pulled me back : Don’t help them Harry Ma’am will beat you: but, but Why
The atrocities I saw that week scarred me for life Thank God, Mr. Webb came home early
Tuesday morning Ma’am in a straitjacket being put in a  Police cruiser. All the children :
                            Heading to new Foster  Homes : We kept in touch
         Inspired by Deborah Guzzi”s Contest : Something wicked this way comes

Premium Member The Chair Peddler

A man reached me at the market that day.
He lifted two handcrafted seats on his head.
He urged, "Won't you buy my chairs?" Today.
Nobody took my chairs. All moved instead.

I recall helping others with daily duties in life.
If you find a poor partner, avail him in strife.
None are so flush that they might not borrow.
The fate of the poor may be our lot tomorrow.

Look, these are the best things I have made.
Please buy my seats. I slum my children frayed.
He seems gloomy. This person is my age.
Words nag me. I gave him cash and change.

I echo helping others, even when being mean.
Do not judge your pal's deep suspicions, lean.
No fine, people can avoid shame or misery.
Lift others in the race for a swathe of glittery.

I replied, "I need one seat, but sell the rest."
Kids are waiting, and I wish you all the best.
Thrusting his hands to pray, I was unready.
For me, it was an incomer with tears already.

I never lost the venting of the chair salesman.
It may not be a lot to exalt others when we can.
If it turns on a brother, do not let envy ruin it.
We pray for each other's rightness, joy, and grit.

Premium Member Two Pairs of Shoes

I got a pair for casual wear
and the salesman sold me another
for formal wear like romantic dates,
and job interviews
knowing I had just graduated and
had a beautiful girlfriend.

I've been working two shift jobs
paying down student loans
and credit card debt.
And my girlfriend left town
with a rich man
soon after she saw me
in worker's uniform.

It's been a while since then.

I still have two pairs of shoes,
the casual wear is worn out
the formal one is
brand new
wrapped in a fancy shoe box
made for expensive shoes.

Poison Pork Aphrodisiac

Hot Pot hold discards punctuality
Daddy's dinner waits for her arrival
Wave eruptions push sensuality
Faithful fund chef clings to their survival

Amazed, restrained, Romeo of Ocean 
Baby drips sweet dedication's poison 
Pork concoction mixes magic potion 
Car salesman harsh crumbles in kiss cloy zone

Hands on her shoulders, hovering near tears
Pledging, is it genuine, game so fresh
Marriage and love lasting infinite years
Kitchen affection belies arrangement 

Seven hour pork stew, beach stretch surfers viewed
Swallowed soft as his heart of servitude
