Sayang na Kampeon, Mababaw na Balon
(Ramon Magsaysay)
Komersyo ang nalagpasang kurso
Naging sundalo at Kalihim ng Tanggulan
Supremo ng mga Komunista ay napasuko
Unang nagbukas ng palasyo sa taumbayan.

reaching for sea, he reverses

left you flat like a domino
Passe clings to crazy ways
Ramon is blitzed trying to bop
You two
What are you looking for
Eagley takes it easily
Stand just buy me
That's Bennie we call him the king
Davies bowing out he's going through some changes
Len and Mac Snooped out with the Doc
smoking imagination Chronically outback
well live and let
Back to the party
That's Abbey shes dancing like a queen
wants to live forever
That's Chuck we call him D That Tasty Tea
and he is G a professor riffing about the power fight
You two is he with you or
That's Will he picks up up about midnight
El tongue is pierced its messing up your song
This foxy lady will be anywhere the hens drink
Hes Garf and Si they are always silent
Say hello to mr blue Thats Skye
Those two who turned
the bar to an oasis
Definately pissed Maybe don't know
The guy by the Radio
thats head
hes a bit of a creep
Kurt was coming but there was something on his way
There Art Rick
He's a monkey
Eh Do i wanna know what
Can't here you
for the tunes
i never forgot

Get a job, Get a job, Get a job
Well, I have two and need a third
Went to college and got the same jobs that I could of gotten out of high school
Student loan shark wants his money
Rent man wants his money
Grocery man wants his money
If I pay student loan shark , my rent and food will suffer
So, try to dodge student loan shark awhile longer
$7.25 minimum wage.
This meat in the store is over $7.25 a pound
Guess Ramon noodles will be my dinner companion
Work, work, work
Working has kept me just over broke

SPECIAL 83th BIRTHDAY DEDICATION TO AKINWAMDE OLUWOLE SOYINKA
HEARTY CONGRATS
The Great Wole,
Here you are with another added age with grace
The grace of the creator bestowed on you
Shines the light since the very day you were born
And up till now at age 83 the light shines brighter
The Great Wole,
This is the day
Another happy day signed by the most High
For who has made you go this far
The art world, humanness, the creativity in you
Are ever exceptional, inspirational and dramatical
And has got no end, they keep flourishing
The Great Wole,
Varieties of God blessings will never cease in your life
At 83 the wishes are still many more years and good health
At 83 continue to grow from strength to strength
And from one glory to another
Forever the leading light will shine in you.
Happy Birthday!!!

What is this life when there is no care
What is life when there is no love
Life without sympathy
Vividly filled with hatred
How do we begin to flourish
When our core values are missing
What do we do to be freed from evil
What do we do to regain our strength

A Spanish Farmer Goes to Fetch Water
The limestone, thought Gonzalo, was a sponge.
So soft, the raindrops pocked it. It absorbed
it all, and slowly bled it back. He looked
along the path, to where the outcrop rose
out of the greens and browns of fecund earth,
its face all cracked and fissured. Morning sun
lay on the soil, like a considerate
young lover. But the limestone prominence
cast cool foreboding shadows on the land,
a cloak devoid of color. To his left,
Gonzalo saw Ramon, the blind white mule,
flicking his ears. A carrot was expected.
Below, Gonzalo's "parcel" drank the sun,
the lion-colored corn close to mature.
His barn was bursting. Almonds, olives, pulses,
pomegranates, figs. "Thank you, Fuente,"
slipped from his lips, unbidden. Off he set,
his wooden bucket swinging, for the crag.
He loved the ritual of his morning trip.
The bride complained her perfume
Had failed to seduce the groom
Because she was placid
He found himself flaccid
And quietly left the room
Money isn't everything
You earn it just to use it
Do whatever you want with it
Just try not to lose it
The more you have
The more you spend
A simple rule
To tell a friend
In order to avoid
Getting broke
You stretch your dollar
With so much hope
Eat ramon noodles
Once too much
You pinch a penny
While have a lunch
Take a walk
Instead of a bus
Dont wave the cab
You'll save a bunch
If you save a dollar
Put one away everyday
You'll have one more
At a later date
Get paid the same
While work for wage
In due time any job
You can learn to save
