When good seems to fade
There's a price that's paid
For mistakes we made
The pied pipers play
and leads us astray
We follow them blind
caught up in a bind
To dead ends we find
So who will arise
To be bold and wise
And choose truth, the prize
Then battles begin
To see who will win
Or left in the bin
No time to delay
We must win today

Technology holds us hostage
Putting us into rectangles
Our I-phones are our newest bosses
Deciding when, where and how we go
Technology directs our actions
Directs us hour by hour
Choosing our moods
Based on where he wants us to be
We read his texts, allowing him to choose our mood
Our feelings, our joys, out hurts, our passions
We are helpless baby mice
Led by our rectangle Pied Pipers.

On the bobbing pipers run
Across the sandy beach, such fun
All together off they race
Always with the quickest pace
Piping for their unseen food they go
That’s just within their reach below
Flying in a flock unfurled and fast
Swooping down as water passed
Scurrying on tiny legs they speed
Off they race to catch their feed
A moving ornament delight
A Dazzling picture when in flight

deep breadth pipers, tune up your pipes
it's Scottish party time once more
come on folks and kick up your heels
lets shake our kilts on the dance floor
it's Scottish party time once more
the swords are crossed we stand and wait
toes pointed ready to sword dance
raise arms into an arch, stand tall.
come on folks kick up your heels
dancers line up, applaud the food
carried in with aplomb by chefs
aroma is so very good.
lets shake our kilts on the dance floor
after eating a lovely treat
a special way to spend the night
St Andrew we drink to thee.

Tom Tom the pipers son
Made all the girls pregnant except for one
She was strange
A man that had a sex change
So he married her just for fun

In less than a year,
or seventy hence
I will wander the road which you now take.
Now the path is wild and overgrown---and I cannot pass, but in time, for me, the pied
piper will be piping,
as for you, he is piping now.
Beckoning with fall colors
and singing of children lost.
