When sheriff Taylor saw the docket
 He found Otis high as a rocket
 Incompetence was rife
 With his deputy Fife
 Who kept a bullet in his pocket

There was a man who had a drool bucket
he would sit at the beach and upchuck it,
when bikinis strolled he'd ooze
it got much worse when he'd booze...
Poor Otis is now banned from Nantucket!...

Thumb screws its way walking a straight line down the middle of the road hitching a ride on a new page no road kill here life’s a breeze surfing open minds along the torturous wake with all the sweet things

She's trying to wash US
away
So, WE, in Our homes, can
No longer stay
Sneaking up on US, a dirty
trick she did play
Had US like OTIS, 'sitting at
the dock of the bay'
Waiting on SALVATION, come 
what may
When LIFE, as WE knew it, had
gone astray
Why Lord Why, didn't you spare
US, that day?!

(For New Orleans)...

Here's to Elisha Graves Otis that stupendous innovator,

   Who gave us all a lift in life by inventing the elevator.

      Due to Elisha's creative skill and general know-how,

         The ups and downs of life we can truly experience now!

Shaking she was,
that cute bike courier chick,
in a lift at the registry
flipping a trip.
I could see she was in
adrenaline's grip.
Nearly run over,
through no fault of her own;
to this sweet rookie
the ropes must be shown.
My sarcastic advice
to the packed Otis delight:

"Silly girl,
the big guy
IS ALWAYS
in the right!"...

me and Otis Redding
we have a thang
usually meet up 
about nine
sometimes he invites
Billie Holiday
we all sing
as I sink 
into my bath
bubbles overflow
to that rhythm 
and blues
and I sip my wine
and discuss that
crazy love thang
that has me
eat up inside
you see they 
been there
been where I am
twisted up in love
they sing those songs
and we get it 
all straightened out...

My Uncle Willy will be the gingerbread man, Otis told his teacher.
She thought this was cute, and was surprised when the new preacher….
Reverend William telephoned her saying he had a gingerbread boy suit.
She invited him to read a story to her class, and he was really cute.
They ended up dating, and now she is a missus to his mister.
Does he have a brother? Is a constant question from her sister....

The life of this Fife was inane
No burglars did Barney detain
     Got locked in the cell
     As crooks bade farewell
Seems God gave him just half a brain

In comedy each plays a part
Aunt Bea cooked and huge was her heart
     Old Otis loved booze
     And Andy could schmooze 
But Barney made others look smart

Dear sweet Otis,
Days regrettably went by when I didn't see you,
You passed away too soon.
Playing fetch in heaven now,
But still with me somehow.

My sweet puppy,
The mornings are empty,
They feel more lonely,
Cause you don't wake up beside me.

A boy and his dog once chased the sunset.
We were together and unified.
Our last month happy in July.
Until Angels sang your last lullaby.
Otis, sweet puppy goodbye....

i worked on
a bay dock
hotter than
sin but in the
winter warmth
was remembrance

but i never
forgot what
confused
consumed
me that i
thought

that which
would be
me and
please
beam
me

up Scotty
only to hear
i've no control
Captain you are
going to be a molecular
jigsaw puzzle of one thousand

pieces
to be put
back together
again Humpty
Dumpty but was
this puzzle before or

after
the
fall...

She's enigmatic jazz
Duke's "Sophisticated Lady"
An original, unrepeatable moment
Ella's scat
spontaneous, extemporaneous
Melodic variation
Rhythm like a pulse
Miles' s dissonant resolution
Ornette's free-form come to life
A nuanced persona
informed by her own harmonic base
Billie's smoky ode to Miss Otis sans regrets
Like Bird when he drenched his sax with sweat
as he set the air aflame
Like aural combustion between us
too hot to be ever put out...

3:50am
nobody on the highway
another long commute to work
shuggie otis, take me away
inspiration information takes my attention off the road
what i have yet to discover is now my brainstorm breakfast

4:47am
my favorite parking space away from the normalistics
another dreamland excursion nap
mr. sandman, take me away
unpredictable inception takes my whole body and mind away from this here reality
what i have always wished for is now my shocking blue carnation...
