His lonesome lane, a lizard in limbo
Loafing on his lowly laurels, laughing....

Locks up my mind for many hours

Premium MemberSad Sack Sammy

...The tale of Sad Sack Sammy,
So the story goes.

...In this embrace of fog 
               and night, 
       dappled beauty softly shines.
            The heavens dance and 
                brightly light,
       the darkness that descends

What Frustration Could Do

..."Who had this booby trap set?"
Asked the hit man quite upset
But flashing a borrowed smile
He could take to some one mile.

Later, what seemed a child's grin,
Once very rich, now as thin...

I truly thought that every cat had abilities to vault
Most other times he ran away when I backed out of the drive
I mean it's only natural a cat'...

Songs about blind mice, or stars like jewels,
And animals making sounds, here and there.
On Macdonald Farm, sounds are everywhere!

luckless in a loveless race  
   at the bottom of a solipsistic sinkhole

And - trust - me - in the dark like a pistol,
Sadly competing with my loved Christ,
Mostly after quaffed Stout cruelly iced!
