peach and apple trees 
bailing hay in summertime 
safe haven from world...

There was a CEO with but one failing
He drank himself sloppy when sailing.
He had three shots at dawn
And drank the whole day long.
Cleaning his yacht took hours of bailing....

Bully.
Restless, angry hurt
streaks out in scorching words
like hot oil from a frying pan. 
Bully.
Bailing pain out
in laughter and violence
nobody sees you sinking. 
Bully. 
Drowned from within....

So Smoothly Surely Started Sailing

So smoothly we seemed to start out sailing;
From storm, took on water and were failing;
Wild are waves;
To were slaves;
Then out from our boat we had to be bailing.

Flourished, the vintage affection of elegant talent
drizzled lightly in the exploration of a drowning yacht, 
 resurfaced, only through amiable bailing, 
continual, until the waves desist, 
the ocean arid, 
then lingers, 
submerged in the dip of the shoreline....

My life is what I make it
Im trying to hold on
I keep slipping down
But my hope is long gone. 
I even fail at failing
I'm trying to let go
But I'm stuck here
Out of life I am bailing.
I am letting go of everything
But a hand catches my fall.
A friend that I can lean on,
my one for all....

Frosty the Snowman and Crystal love made in heaven
Went sailing on a small iceberg as the wind was wailing
Their day brighten in the sun as they started melting
Tears trickled, they started bailing towards Gates of Heaven

Saw Farmer Fred in his field bailing hay.
Stopped a moment and gave him a wave.
He shouted back and I heard him say:

“You must make hay when the sun does shine!”
“You must harvest grapes at just the right time.”
“If you wish to ferment a great wine.”
“A mustard seed of faith will still move mountains in our time.” 
“Some even greater than the rocky kind.”...

I begun life in prison cell, 
as dark as a bottomless well, 
 with no difference between day and night, 
i cuddled myself  tight. 
  
Awaiting the day of bailing, 
that i will be filled with joyful wailing, 
and walk in the countryside, 
with heaven on my side. 
  
Only to be released and end up captured, 
comfortably arrested, 
suckling milk with no bother , 
a new born baby in the arms of  a mother....

Hurricane Ian left no survivors and only a few boats in the water.
Old witch was bailing a pumpkin, heading toward her granddaughter.
But can we get there in time? The black cat asked in a weird way.
She smacked him on the head hard, for she was creepily mad that day.
If we do not, she said, you will be the first cat thrown into the water.
That is when the cat began praying for the health of her granddaughter....

How much longer?
People crying
People dying
Many more rules
Children out of school
How much longer?
I feeling like wailing
I feel like bailing
I feel like screaming
Am I dreaming?
How much longer?
No eating out
Just stay home and pout
Freedom's memories are hazy
And I'm bloody well going crazy
How much longer?
No shaking hands
Cancel all my plans
Or I'll get sick
Isn't that a trick?
HOW MUCH FRICKING LONGER?!...

It's a grand old boat-still quite reliable.
But from the darkness below.
A crimson breasted leviathan is clawing holes.
Deep into its starry soul.
She's quickly listing.
Vermin gnawing away at the sextant.
Panic is hastily jumping ship.
With the NorthStar stuffed in their bindles...

The loyalists are bailing water.
Hope garnished in salt and blistered.
Predators are slowly circling in.
To the sound of a cracked conche....

Swirling,
	Twirling,
		Spinning,
Think you're close to Winning.

Fumbling,
	Tumbling,
		Falling,
Too close to be Calling.

Skipping, 
	Tripping,
		Switching,
There's just too much that's Missing.

Shaking,
	Quaking,
		Breaking,
Too hard to be Faking.

Cursing,
	Screaming,
		Hitting,
Too soon to be Quitting.

Telling,
	Failing,
		Bailing,
It's time for the Un-veiling.

Singing, 
	Ringing,
		Ding-ing,
Wake Up! -- You're only Dreaming....
