more to life than meets the eye ~ said the blind man who slipped in a pigsty 

but some swine oinked pigs might fly ~ this trip up will cause a huge overfly 

and sure enough as days went by ~ eyes appeared damn vultures in the sky 

the lesson learnt here don’t ask why ~ sh!t just happens when in oversupply

Sunny Sky

As the sun gild d western sky
the boys stand to spy
the bird stop to fly
because the are affried to dry
smoke like incense perfume d sky
these was in the month of July
no body wish to comply
instead they denny
it was risky
  
               ii

the smoke and dusky vapor of 
the night divides more wider 
to a high
and fry those that overfly
the guy try 
but the cannot fly
there eyes cry
so the standby
and watch the birds die

               iii
 
know one to supply
know where to buy
the have to ply
but first need to spy
who will try 
not one wish to apply
because it imply there goodbye.
