He was a hot shot 
Who wore hot pants
Which got him into the hot seat
Because this was the sixties
Before Freddy Mercury made it okay....

Tricks and treats;
Good old eats;
Treats are just great,
We often crave treats that rate,
Tricks played, could land one in the hot seat!

   cold feet
   seek heat

   they meet
   hot seat
 
   no treat
   they tweet
 
   these feet
   mincemeat

   we're beat
   they bleat

   complete
   defeat

   drumbeat
   downbeat...

There’s no nut torrid like a sports fan
He wants to see feats not known to man
Watching from his hot seat
While goliaths compete
For the top, the best since time began

Perched on my hot seat this morning,
I thought about this crazy world’s ills -
wars, hunger and global warming.
     
The more I pondered over them
the darker the prognosis became,
so I simply sighed, shrugged, then

pushed a knob and out went life’s burdens....

Homeless Mind

Far beyond struggle
stranded
like a calf that lost its mother
thirsty
like an alcoholist 
locked in a small-little cell
where else if not home ?

Homeless Mind
up and down
like a mentally challenged man
hot seat
its rest cannot find 
restless mind 
where else can it go ?

Being in the hot seat
Is second nature to me
I’ve always thought it neat,
Being in the hot seat
‘Tis not always so sweet
Expressing opinion, you see,
Being in the hot seat
Is second nature to me.

Huntington, WV Dispatch

L-et me send this warm wish
O-n fourteenth day January; 
R-emembering your birthday, 
R-ecalling the morning beauty.
A-fter the shadows have faded
I-nto the dark of night; 
N-ew light shines in the sky,
E-ndorsing the future so bright.

L-ife on earth is difficult, 
O-nce you are in a hot seat; 
P-ut your faith in God, 
E-levating it into the 
Z-enith....

Pleading the Fifth is for “mobsters;”
To many, it’s proof of their guilt,
Including a certain ex-leader,
Whose previous claims went atilt.

For once he was called to the hot seat,
The Fifth was his very best friend.
Aside from his name he said nothing,
Defiant right up to the end.

Of course, he gave all the impression
He had quite a lot he should hide,
But if he had actually answered,
We all can be sure he’d have lied....
