The Rind of What I Pluck
I woke up from my slumber, I even wear a cucumber, I heard a timber, What is simmer, I don't have a glitter, I know how to make it better, With enough of sluther, I am not a chatter, My mind is not cluttered, I admired a butler, I am not honoured to be sudder, A sudden beat to my heart, I want to make it last, A...

Bitter Rind of Sorrow

Peel Away This Rind
Blocked in my bonded mind I am trying to get away Trying to peel away this rind Left in nothing but dismay I am thickened in the skull My shell is very thick And quite a nut to hull You may need to use a stick My mind is a loose cannon Like a bomb set to blow Just like that Roy O’Bannon From Jackies movie...
