When darkness styled me for a while
He deftly like a surgeon broke the spell
Begin we dropping dangled from a chute
From above we land one step from hell
Remember … You jumped and pulled the ripcord to start the journey

THE SAILOR
There was a young sailor from Rothesay
Sailed his yacht around the bay of Biscay
But a storm sunk his boat
He's no longer afloat
And the wind blew his life raft away...
EDWARD GUMP
A parachutist called Edward Gump
Went up in a plane to do a jump
The ripcord got stuck
He said "just my luck"
Hit the ground with one helluva bump...
FREDDIE
Did you hear about old Freddie O'Toole
Considered to be a bit of a fool
Hee waznt two brite
Cudent reed ur rite
That is what happens when you bunk off school..
ICELAND
Now Iceland has some unusual sights
P*n*s. museum and the northern lights
The museum for the bold
The lights a sight to behold
Which ever you choose enjoy their delights...
TOO MANY TO MENTION
Old father time moves too quickly I fear
I hope you all have plenty of good cheer
Whatever you do
I'd like to wish you
Merry Christmas and a happy new year...
Iceland has a museum dedicated to the male anatomy,
mainly animals but a man in the U. S. is donating his
manhood when his time is up.

Sometimes it hurts
It hurts so bad, the need to love.
It hurts so much it feels like I’m ripping my own heart out
The strings of my heart tug and it’s like an emotional ripcord.
My heart tearing for the need
I need someone to hold me in their arms
The want, the desire for the heat
Passion is like a drug in an over-flowing cup
I need to satisfy
Like a hunger eating me up inside
Like a rollercoaster ride
I go up, I go down, round and round and round
With every high and low it goes to show
I care, I hope, I have dreams
I’m just a human being
Does loving someone who believes they don’t deserve it
Does that change anything?
It doesn’t change the feeling
I can still remember when we first met
The smell, the clothes, the hair, the look, the feel, the shoes you wore that night
I was changed
There is a whole new meaning to “Death do us part”
I remember the moment we met because… I love you.

I cannot still believe my karma
When all drab hope expired
And with it my faith
In humanity -
We met.
I do not question Fate,
It's snakelike ripcord slither;
I accept whole the dream
For fear it is -
Not real.
I will not court denial,
Kiss belief in this fortune;
The living treasure you bestow
Upon my being -
Breathes exultant.
I know only these things:
Life weeps fluid ephemeral,
And bludgeoned by impairment;
Yet together we may shoot -
The moon.
