turn on the hot water faucet let it run
add the cold water faucet for a warm one
make sure the bath mat is down so no slipping
get nude it's a shower like skinny dipping
wet wet get drenched and soaked
lather up with that bar of soap
wash here and there everywhere
don't forget shampoo your hair
pour it on and rub it in
wash that hair thick or thin
let the shower wash out the soap
rinse your body and you are dope
big fluffy cotton towel
dry your self and how
now that you are new and clean
put your robe on before your seen
Rudolph the red nose reindeer
had a very tiny hose
but if you gentle rub it
suddenly the small thing grows
All of the other reindeer
used to laugh and sometimes boast
all of the other reindeer
used rub it in his nose
And that's why poor old Rudolph
had a very shinny nose
all of the other reindeer
laughing at his tiny hose
I never had much of an inflated ego
Vanity left me at birth
Our self esteem should travel wherever we go
But I always doubted my worth
The awful commotion of plane hitting ocean
Woke every shark in the sea
And I’m left alone with a gut wrenching notion
Why did they overlook me
The crash had killed plenty, the sharks had took twenty
So why did our lord make me last
I doubted a sentry was there to defend me
The next shark did not just swim past
‘My lord,’ I called out, ’what was I about?
Deliver some meaning to me’
That shark chewed me up, and then he said ‘YUK!’
And spat me back into the sea
He coughed and he spluttered and then the shark muttered
’I thought that I’d tasted it all...
I’ve eaten your species, but you taste like faeces’
And that made me feel really small.
It all works out, till it doesn't
We're cheaper by the dozen
You married your second cousin
When you thought it was true love
You're always right, till you blow it
The public records show it
And those angels proudly know it
As they rub it in your face from above
Baby, sit back down on your couch
And scooch on over
We been drunk all night,
Now let's talk ourselves sober
Who knew sweet slavery
would bring us closer?
We drive till we run out of fuel
Committed to conquering cruel
Reading about the world's fools --
Thank God we're not them
You survive until the finale
And go off to that great green valley
Where the shepherds convene to tally
All the dreams you've forgotten
Baby, sit back down on your couch
And scooch on over
We been drunk all night,
Now let's talk ourselves sober
Who knew sweet slavery
would bring us closer?
What is hindsight for?
Is it a learning tool?
Or is it just to have a laugh,
And say you were a fool?
What is hindsight for?
Perhaps it’s to review?
To rip apart the thing you’ve done,
And have a go at you?
What is hindsight for?
It doesn’t right the wrongs,
Or is it just a waste of time,
To leave where it belongs?
What is hindsight for?
Just there to poke some fun,
Determine when decisions,
That were made were the wrong one?
What is hindsight for?
Just critical and cruel?
To rub it in when you forget,
The things you learned in school?
What is hindsight for?
To analyse each fact?
To unpick every action,
And to criticise each act?
What is hindsight for?
To re-evaluate?
To say you should have not done that,
And try to re-create?
What is hindsight for?
To attack each decision?
To say this would have been the way,
With technical precision?
What is hindsight for?
I wish I knew the score,
Cos in my mind there’s not a thing,
That hindsight’s really for!
HIPPOPOTOMONSTROSESQUIPPEDALIOPHOBIA
Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia are you having a laugh
The fear of long words that has those who suffer from it aghast

great ice cream challenge
sitting restlessly
scanning the room and
life and the prevailing mood
I am going to eat
that huge pot of ice cream.
But it’s not good for you.
what is anymore? still
going to eat it
all creamy and rich
might even use my fingers
It is too cold outside.
wrap up in a blanket
put on wooly scratchy socks
going to eat it all
while the thought is fresh
Grow up, your acting like a baby
Yep! maybe rub it in my hair
I am old how much more
grown up must I get.
Going to eat every bit
one would think at your age…
One can kiss my bippy
pass me the spoon …..please
my only concession
I’m going in yum.
Last time I checked,
it was still on my neck,
What now is a mark,
once was a speck,
Protected by the freckle,
I can now never forget,
Tattooed into a bad mood,
the ink I still regret,
Smooth surface, epidermis,
let color fill the pores,
Black lines, abstract designs,
around the open sores,
Follow my fingers
from the valley to the summit,
Let go of all your baggage,
watch all your worries plummet,
Rub it in a circle
’til the purple turns to pink,
Palm against palm
let our fingers interlink,
Wrinkles and folds,
crevices and creases,
Capturing the beads
a sweat gland releases,
Scars and birthmarks
and lipstick kisses,
Fleshly desires
and skinful blisses,
Cuts and wounds
and bumps and bruises,
Believing the lies
when beauty confuses,
A tingling sensation
while waiting patiently,
Exhale into the navel
and let creation breathe,
Scriptures and phrases
that raises goosebumps,
The laying on of healing hands
and disappearing lumps,
I’ve spent a lifetime,
counting freckles and moles,
Skin against skin,
like magnetic poles.

Green Light
Green of light the healing power
Invigorate the body hour
Blue of light to kill infection
In the body with direction
Ultraviolet and or infrared
Through green glass or blue instead
Just a few minutes a day I read
Edgar Cayce this had said…Don Johnson
Edgar Cayce was Americas sleeping Prophet
A lot of what he said was right .
Google him you will find him.
Edgar Cayce a real Knight!
For rheumatiz try peanut oil
and arthritis too
supermarket get it now
rub it in its good 4 u
If, the sun never shone
again it wouldn't be as bad
as not seen you for a day
if, the sea dried up
and all that was left was salt,
rub it in my wounds,
for even pain,
would not compensate for the loneliness
I feel without you.
you are my shah
you are my angel
you are my life
you are my love
If I didn't have your love,
life would be miserable
my love, the wall that separated
our world has fall
just as the Berlin wall fell.
You are all I have in this world,
A Breath from the mouth of God.
(c) Glen Harris
How could you tell me you love me
And then take it all away?!
It makes no sence
You make NO sence...
You can not love someone
And then say...sorry not anymore...
No...it doesn't work like that
Love is supposed to be a partnership
If you didn'nt love me then...
Why did you put me through so much pain like you did
It's not fair to me
It's not fair to you...
So you can have your
"Fairytale ending" with whoever your with now...
And when my time comes,
I'm gonna rub it in your face...
Don't you think you've done enough hurt?
Taking me for all that I'm worth?
Now you want to rub it in my face!
I'm trying hard to act as if you don't exist.
Just to let you know,
you're not even missed!
I hope you're both happy,
and life is all roses,
cause people like you,
only have turned up noses!
I'm not glad cause I got to see
how people like you,
use people like me!
I've been watching it for awhile,
should have seen it coming from a mile!
You both deserve each other,
you're both backstabbing and fake!
Thats the only thing
out of you I can make.
You're just the kind that likes to take!
Someday in hell,
you'll both bake!
I know I shouldn't say this
I keep my mouth shut
But don't worry this time I promise not to cut
For both of our sake
I ruin it all with a snap
But don't test me because you just caused a crack
I do this every time
It’s the after party of hate
I don't appreciate
And I’m done with the negotiate
It’s the rate that I’m falling
Let me take my time
Trust me I'm not stalling
Your weight’s causing me to drown
Why does it hurt?
It’s a monster that’s trying to escape
And it’s something I sure can’t duct tape
Don’t rub it in the face
Keep it low key
Walk away with some pride
Don’t mention you’re so happy without me
i am a doormat
and you think nothing of me
i wipe off your dirt
but you wont know me
your hooves pound on my lip
and you don't take heed
i make it so you don't slip
but I'm nothing to this galloping steed
the hooves pounding
the dirt flying
landing on my face
burning my eyes
you rub it in
and you don't hear my cries
you don't notice your sin
but look, I'm covered in brown and black dyes!
i thought you were a hero
and so i had sold my soul
as it turns out your a zero
a zero with no goal
i felt water on my head
am i going to die?
no, your in the washer
and the cycle goes on, and on, and on
I guess I should be jealous
I guess I should feel motivated
To transform into someone else like you
But really I'm not
And I just want to stay even though
I'm well aware
Of all of these addictions, infections, and disorders
I'm well aware
Of what's truly right and wrong
Don't need to rub it in
'Cause I can't see your views
It's crazy to realize
That a year has almost passed us
A year full of regret, drugs, and lies
The firsts and the lasts
Maybe a time of settlement's ahead
And the new I ran into
Never seemed to stay but I don't mind
It's just funny to know that
The ones I've been searching for
Have been beside me all this time
Your words of reflection
Always seemed to reel me in
It's just a little silly
To know they weren't the seduction
It was only the title I let you hold
Was what lead me to this year's
Another reminder of what's real and untrue
Was all I couldn't ask for
Now they're all in front of me
