Perfect and Petty
Best schools, best aids, best clubs, best grades, She spent years on end playing perfect charades. Best house, best friends—good girl, but she fades, Because all her parents did was point out her mistakes. “Did you clean the house—walk the dog—make your bed—wash your car? How many times can I say lazy won’t get you very far?” And she hated the...

Petty Freddy
Written By: D. Collins 9/17/24 Petty Freddy's a man no child would want to be. Void of selflessness and human morality. Stuck on stupid because it is all about him. May be why wifey doesn't travel to Wisconsin. This is as clear as day, without stating names. And, for his infidelity he gave Biden the blame. Can you see a Petty...

Have you given yourself a vow Not to come for the video chat Or does it happen undertow Like implicit “don’t do that”? And of course you are aware Of my waiting – if you call It will show that still you care And through stumbling and fall I will dash into your house But perhaps I’ll be too much Mither you with whats...

Tom Petty Radio
On Sirius Radio, we have the chance To listen to singers who’ve died, For some have their stations, which serve to enhance All the music they once did provide. So after they’ve passed, we’ve been given the choice To keep listening, not to just songs, But to whole conversations in that well-known voice Which to our favorite singer belongs. We are...

Akshay, Won’t take my attitude, Won’t text to me, Won’t give me advice, Not anymore Akshay, Hasn’t talked to me all day, Hasn’t texted all day, Hasn’t given me funny feelings, Not today Akshay, Doesn’t know what to say, Doesn’t want to advise, Doesn’t want to talk, Not now Akshay, Has his own life, Has a real life, Has an unshackled life, Not like me Akshay, Tells me not to think like that, Tells me to quit...

A festive feast of aired grievances faces maroon and out of control; Screams breed battered appearances, this moment our tempers just stole; Releasing all that tension with a kiss now we are locked in a wild explosion; A fine line between livid and bliss in the end teeth, nails, and devotion; Go on baby and let it all out...

When things began to read "Jail" Farouk had already turned tail And for waiting ears had his tale: That he had come to some friends hail, One of them male and the other female. Then, a Ben chose to...

In her ivory tower, she was raised, A sheltered child, a life of ease, But Alice's tale, Lorina's heart had seized, Her mind now set on a different phase. Married at twenty to a man much too old, Her life as a trophy wife grew stale, And so she plotted, her heart gone cold, Her husband's demise she'd avail. With her inheritance,...
