Well in truth it was a bet
And the bet was to get a date
With Prudence the librarian
Whose coldness was legend
It would be a tall order
But I picked up the gauntlet
And headed...

Between their legs
Every year she gets a dozen eggs
Sometimes she cracks one open

Inequity....

I'm thinking loud.
Who spreads the clouds.
Like the courageous coward.
Guards the mighty from the crowd.
Who will fight for Boychild

Like a magnet to gather.
He was lovely but lonely
Like a glutton..
He wasn't satisfied...

Because cars don’t their speed exceed;
In their pet jobs hope to succeed,
Sometimes sensible warnings don’t heed.
A solution to the riddles of idleness,
And checking of their feelings of awkwardness:
Relieved cops a...

as I think about certain things at work
an uphill endeavor, a total dedication
to what my vocation asks me to perform.

I see how in the parish setting grows
those relationships and actions...

Nay,
You are not uncouth;
There is something I never taught you:

When my mother told me to play tennis at school,
And advised me to swim at school,
When she networked me with the best of her people;
And she...

What do I owe to be the
 receiver of such injustice
 from you?
 
Can you search within 
your own black heart to

Moving toward your aura, so I’m walking a fine line

The quickest way from your heart to my forever is a straight line

I so wanted to give you what you asked for
Even though I could not comply, comfortably.
From where I stand, it's a mighty tall order,
To comment on why I haven't commented.
I feel half of these works...

If I wrote you a song
Would you sing along
Or would you tell me I’m wrong

A fool, a buffoon, an unruly lad,
A prankster, a trickster, a tattler,
A gigolo, a lounger and an idler;

An imposter, a pretender and a loafer,
A party crasher, a tailgater and a...

The irreversible journey
Ordained for man
The irrevocable journey
Destined for man

I set out on this stormy voyage
Out of compulsion
without having a say

....Sailing.....sailing....
I know I am on course
But I feel lost
Like a dinosaur in oblivion

The stage is set
