I am not snoopy she said
But I noticed their past due notices
They were laying out where anyone could see them
This was a bit of a fib
You would have had to move a few things to see them
They are divorcing, it is public knowledge, she added
You can go to the tax office and see what they pay for their taxes
I have been up there to see what all the neighbors pay
I am not nosy, I am interested
Then she began asking me personal questions
Leading them with “I don’t mean to pry, but.”
“Then don’t pry, “I told her.
It was the end of our conversations.
Prying eyes all around me
Like I'm a sort of celebrity
They want every piece of me
They are baffled by my mystery
For what I do is like ordinary
But for them it is a big deal
For the sway of bigotry
Has clouded their minds for real

Pry and Try to Identify
what we did was pry
wondered why and then did try
them identify
Jim Horn
Cannot Pry or Try
Flag had reached right into the sky,
While we were all here high and dry;
With bone spurs Trump's chances went by,
And others took his turn so he won't die.
On Trump really had been hard to rely;
He constantly does looking for an alibi;
Does seem no matter how hard we try,
Into Trump's business we cannot pry.
Jim Horn
Someone Else Instead
Shady deals and things Trump has spread,
And down a dead end road we were lead;
What a weird being;
Is not worth seeing;
Sure wish we had someone else instead.
Jim Horn
I pry on other peoples happiness coz there's little
in my life. I pry to help people who a feeling low
or sad coz there's so much sadness in my life for me to fix. I pry to help other people in pain coz my pain is too much to handle, I pry on giving advice to people in relationships coz I never see myself in one, I pry on the confidence of others coz on my own am a coward, I pry on others happy endings coz mine doesn't seen be to ever
coming..
watch the moon in all its pure light
be engulfed by the night
no one knows what really causes it
only that it remains lit
but then the sun in its
heated embrace
takes the darkness to another place
rip it out from its corridors
and puts it into many lores
how often the moon tries
to cover the nights lies
then the sun it comes
to pry the darkness from the sky.
