Burning Here Glenn Hughes song Burn

Yes, blame the chick,
Rocker or hick,
Burning here,
Hands appear!
Witchy fire, 
Doomed desire,
Blasted, didn't care,
She's a don't care bear,
Guess she felt good,
Blasted the whole 'hood!

Premium Member Nada To Fear

I knew a black playwright, cried in his beer
Trust me, Langston Hughes had nada to fear
   My friend wrote ‘too white’
   'King's English,' his plight 
I advised him, “Take Ebonics, you hear?”

Howard Hughes

was always in the news

He came up with one heck of a crazy notion.

A plane filled with ping pong balls, should it fall into the ocean.

Premium Member Germaphobe Howard Hughes

Germaphobe Howard Hughes - reclusive billionaire - made a plane of wood and loved to ride the air! Bought his own hotel, just to hide himself from sight and watched his own TV station’s movies late at night.

Premium Member Langston Hughes

Iconic, late African-American poet, Langston Hughes. 
     Dropped "John Mercer" from name; paid his dues...

 As one of the leading voices in the Harlem Renaissance.
Poem, "Dream Deferred," deemed his piece de resistance.

Communion

COMMUNION
                                 (for Frieda and Nicholas Hughes)

two pieces of buttered bread.
two glasses of ice cold milk.

communion for the children
locked inside the apartment

of a dead poet.

Premium Member Glenn Hughes Wordplay

Sing is what Glenn Hughes does
Sung is what Glenn Hughes was
Dung is for those who hate 
Ding to remind not to stay up late
Dine to eat while Glenn Hughes sings
Wine to drink as his music rings
Wipe to take away the tears
Pipe to smoke against more music to hear

Premium Member So Much Love from Glenn Hughes

Glenn Hughes sings to women. Here are just a few he’s wooed…

- Sofia
- Arianna 
- Medusa
- Roxanne
- Angela
- Blue Jade
- Sista Jane
- Jolayne
- Jackie
- Madeleine 
- Gabi
- Allyson

Glenn romances them and sings from the heart!

Oh there is so much love.

Inside stirm

Rumbling flows inside my very essence. 
Storms on the inside, mimicking tornados on the outside.
Feelings of despair flooding out the hope that is in my heart.
Pain leaving darkened footsteps behind.

Premium Member Corn Squeezin's

In the hills lived a bootlegger named Hughes

   Who 'stilled corn squeezin's you couldn't refuse

      He was one lucky bloke

         'Til the law saw the smoke

            He now lives in the pen for peddlin' booze

Whodunit

The book is littered with false clues,
The reader’s eyes are growing tired.
Who’d worn the pair of women’s shoes?
The book is littered with false clues.
So sure the killer’s Willy Hughes
(The one the Major nearly fired).
The book is littered with false clues,
The reader’s eyes are growing tired.

Sans Dreams We Do Not Live

If the dream dies,
            life is a horse
            cripple who no longer
            will run anymore ...

             if the dreams are gone,
             life will be a river
             dry and ephemeral
             without solution ever ...!

Premium Member Glenn Hughes 4x4x4

Glenn Hughes is great 
He sings so strong 
I love his act
He does so belong

He plays the bass
Yes, loud and clear
He makes you want
To come closely near

Fifty years of music
Since he was young
So hard to tell 
When it all begun

So we dance tonight 
To tunes so nice
It is just simply
A grand pure delight
