Indifferent Card

An Indifferent Card

Things do become difficult and so hard, 
When being played like indifferent card;
Not ever affected;
Even misdirected;
Both down and dirty, torn and scared.

Recreational Legalized

Recreational Legalized

While looking at TV we soon realized,
Recreational marijuana was legalized;
We never hesitated;
Like ours marinated;
And also, hope it had been sanitized.

If it was down and dirty marijuana,
We had received a dirty deal.

American Flag

Fifty stars they lay so true,
Laying in the ocean blue.
Thirteen stripes of red and white,
For this symbol we will fight
Down and dirty throughout the night.
Our flag will be flying high,
Just until a brave will die.
There is no other like our own,
This is why we keep it flown.
It is ours, our single tag,
We fly is high, the American Flag.

Premium Member Young Lust

We were young, we were ready

We were breathless and sweaty

We were bold, we were blameless

And all together shameless

It was fresh, it was flirty

It was low down and dirty

It was wild, it was frantic

Anything but romantic 

Ever hot, ever faster

Ever bound for disaster

Soon our passion diminished

And all too soon was finished

The New Cool

Next month I'll be fifty
What rhymes with fifty?
Sixty

Ten years to make fifty
the new thirty
Get down and dirty
Like Stallone and Willis
Maybe buy a few guns

"Yeah we bad."

"How we gonna hit em Sly?"
"I don't wanna DIE HARD!"
"No John Wayne Gacy for me."
Try to breeth like Jack Nickelson

I can feel it allready
An unimaginable ammount
Of cool being showered
Down on me

All I have to do is
Keep my mouth shut

Premium Member Black Face Halloween

This Halloween let’s everyone
Black, brown, yellow, red, white and green
Go in blackface
To unite in celebration of our roots
To free them from the guilt and shame
Of being low and down and dirty
In exile from our home.

Home after all is where the heart is
And so here I am with all my heart
Knocking on your door
Expecting something sweet
Bringing playful costume in return.
Is it scary, is it fun?
It’s always up to you.
