American Pies and Porkies

I’m not American though I spent a year in California the land of beaches Hollywood 
‘flower power’ ‘Big Sur’ with dopey dreams and have walked ‘bear’-foot in Yosemite
thus I followed the elections...

Deep within the world so modern,
Lies a hidden road not trodden,
That states the obvious truth be told,
Printed in ink black and bold,

That lost in worlds of ecstasy,
Trapped in snares of misery,
That wars the rumors be...

The work was hard out on the ranch, the days were hot an' dry,
An' fancy things you find in town had caught ol' Jim Bob's eye.
When evenin' came he'd sit the fence an' crave to...

The best love affair of my life
Was the time I spent with another man’s wife
You would be surprised to know it
For I never involved in flirting – never a bit
She isn’t my aunt , my...

It comes not when it's wanted,
because it's never wanted--
who would choose hanging
folds of skin, a face creased
with scores of age lines, feet
speckled with spider veins, an
aging heart that could yell
'Surprise!' any time it chose.

Out in small town Texas, a handshake is a deal.
Folks go to church on Sunday, say grace at every meal.
Men open doors for ladies, kids say sir and ma'am.
Boys can't wait to join the Corps,...

Growing up I always had
Some very special friends
Where we shared in everything
Even our love for Heavy Death Metal Bands

But every time one of us
Pick up an instrument
Whether banging, blowing, or strumming
We never made a lick...

Stoic, is my demeanor
Masculine through and through
I’m as tough as the tough guys come
More manly than all of you

Emotions are for sissies
My tears had never flown
Catastrophes, I greeted with smiles
Heartbreak I’d never shown

She was all...

The reason for this fighting
is that we do not like
The attitude that's ensued 
by the other side
Too big for their britches 
them and all their like
That's why we're here to make it clear
and cut them...

Morning coffee, read the paper, brush your teeth and make the bed
Start the car up, drive to work with endless chatter in your head.
Rhythm’s just a decoy, really, structure faked for social poise
Must pretend, must...

Growing old is not for sissies
And I know that for a fact
Didn’t really become convinced
Until now to be exact

Remembering my working years
And how I’d think to myself
I can do whatever I want
When this job's on...

Just because life sucks
You don’t wanna live no more?
Fine! So why don’t you
just go ahead and kill yourself?
Get it over with—
Stand in front of a runaway train…
Life ain’t worth living for sissies.

You think only you...

Mittens and Madness


If it gets any “hotter”
I’m gonna freeze my ass off.!!!
Minus ten degrees,
wind chill factor minus 35 degrees,
my freakin’ carbon footprint is iced over,
I’m wearing a hat……..in the freakin’ house.
It’s all “settled” science.
Kinda like...

Between the bullies, and beatings
It left me full retreating
Into madness of mind
And sadness in kind
Revenge and rage, became fully engaged
They hazed, I phased, the boy became enraged
The monster, the madman, Grandaddy BAD I became
From that...

Life sure ain't for sissies

It takes a strong and a willing heart

To conquer the everyday problems

Greeting them with a smile is an art

It's easy to give in to doom and gloom

To grumble and always complain

Why don’t men cry, or do they.
Why do they not share feelings?
From onset of childhood, we say.
Be very tough; secure the dealings.

Boys are sissies when they cry.
No shedding tears, it will not fly.
No water works,...

He has to fight his cousins his parents say
They are mean, preteens.
He is six, and sensitive
This is not fair I point out
Their arms are crossed. They are determined
He will be a boy's boy no matter...

Real men don't cry
or if they do they do it secretly
for crying is unmanly, only for sissies.

Machos don't show nothing
but their best front, faking everything!
don't ask me, that's just the way it is.

A man with...

Oh! Testosterone!
Where have you gone?
My motor seems to be out of gas,
Hard to get going, dragging my ass.

Oh! Hair!
Where have you gone?
No need to brush it out of my eyes,
Now my forehead is twice it's...

The New Norm
By: Miracle Man

Three years ago
an unforeseen chain of events transpired in my life
that created a new place for my existence.
While this new normal isn’t the place I would have chosen,
God knew it was...

Macho people have a reason to live
Laugh at the wimps
who have an opportunity to give
Men with their biceps
flexing heavy weight
Mocking the small
and their symbol that they hate
Goody two shoes
His eyes on the laptop
Mean Joe Green
