Mad Mike

Mad Mike
Lives in The Madhouse,
He's Mad
Just like you or I,
Pondering dreams,
But the difference between
Mad Mike

An Average guy,

Is that he actually lives them.

Hesitate to state their age,
Thinking it's against image,
But image in courage telling,Im age!

                                 An average

Sense Stampede

A need for speed
Hear me plead
Intense, extreme
Sense stampede 

Pour me more
Spill to floor
Enough, too little
Average, bore

Thin my skin
Outside in
With your touch
