Spring bids good morning....

Jefferson invented the swivel chair,

Of late,cashing-in seems the plan
Only Harry ,was a true man...

Never hid in Jefferson Airplane
Never beat his wife
Never wept on the floor of jail
Never drank his life away
Never ranted on soldiers grave
Never changed his name
Never came back from the dead...

Gun ownership is a means of protection against government tyranny.
Lose our 2nd Amendment and kiss goodbye all of our civil liberties.
*
"The strongest reason for the people to retain the right to keep and bare arms is as a last resort to protect themselves against tyranny in government."
- Thomas Jefferson...

George Jefferson 
Was his mother’s son
He bought a cleaners; got rich
Settled in the east side, found his niche


Florence Johnson 
Didn't hail from Wisconsin 
Was a no-nonsense taking maid
Sometimes her chores were delayed

My freedom is mine
To do what I I want
To sail on drunken waters
With souls you can't measure. 
My freedom is mine
To take Jefferson to task
For every slave he never freed, and 
Impregnated, holy, holy, holy father.
My freedom is mine to take
And give any lost memory, 
Feigning love,
Justifying faith,
Or simply jousting my way
Into sleepful wakes....

From the front the old stodgy men look almost okay
How do they look down by Canadian way?
I am talking about the Mount Rushmore four.
Washington, Jefferson, Abe and Theodore.

Can you imagine if they had been carved in three-D?
Which one would your eyes want to look over and see?
I am talking about the backside, their petootsies you know.
Can you imagine the sight from the tourists down below?...

Off to Mount Rushmore
To see the presidents:
Washington, Jefferson,
Lincoln, and Roosevelt,
Men of enormous stature
In the land of The Lakota,
Keystone, South Dakota
Fourteen years undertaking
Borglum’s work breathtaking,
With sixty-foot-high faces
Carved into granite outcrop,
One of our country’s
Most celebrated places.

Fish
A fish that swims on the oceans floor
To catch a fish will happen no more
Swish Swish gone away to another place
Oh! come back this day
I have an open space
On this peer with my crab net 
And with my rod I’ll stay.
Another thought to say 
But a fish that swims on the oceans floor
I will be there this time 
To catch a fish off the shore

on rolling hills they were laid
given a tomb stone and honored grave
up right and at attention
all standing in formation
on peaceful and silent hills 
they laid
in rows, government issued graves
a place to stay until Resurrection Day
a place with a Name, on visitors day
a place to put flowers
or drop tears on a grave
they lie there waiting, still serving
as hero's are laid
on the rolling hills of Jefferson Barracks
cemetery they lay...
