April-cold, dreaming?
     the deep South’s screaming out, “what?!”
          weather’s scheming too?

Sol Invictus blistering 
Or the cross blazing
Burning for roman bloodshed 
Who in truth was Cain scheming

It’s tough
On these streets
People begging
Fighting and scheming
For money
And the ones
I help out
Still try to 
Fight me 
Anyway...

Santa met him in Port-au-Prince
he was down, that scheming ol’ Grinch
	blue pill did the trick
	the Grinch got up quick
and they’ve been besties ever since...

But is slower than the other
It's a weakness and a power
A life of dreaming
Instead of scheming
In my mind
My thoughts: much too aligned...

When reading 
I get to scheming
On getting money
On the out
Be my best
And build clout
Have some famous
And rich friends
And add to a wealth
That has no end...

Excited, expectations
Scheming, Longing, dreaming
Circumstance contorts the chosen path
Resist, reconcile, resume
Acceptance, gratitude
Contentment...

my eyes watch..

In the base motor pool
See an off-limits card school-
A scheming Bilko takes the pot
Hoodwinking top brass was his game,
Fast talking his claim to fame.

There once was a gullible taxman
Who dated a rich lady named Ann
When the taxes were due
She declared I love you
Why don't we take a trip to Milan

dear God 
i pray unto thee tonight
'cuz i just heard they scheming
to take my soul
don't let them speak
let me sleep
i'm possessed by the dark style, they say
my attitude they hate and ridicule
though it makes me special...

Tom
Never looks calm
Moves with prance
Scheming for a chance

Jerry
Always spunky and merry
Acts wisely
Overcomes hurdles blithely

Hideous heathen heretic!

Dangerous deadly derelict!

Blasphemous bellowing bunk!

Scandalous scheming skunk!

Rambunctious riotous rascal!

Devious as Eddie Haskell!

Cancerous countywide curse!

That's ok, I've been called worse....

Alas! 'Tis the lionesses out to hunt 
And the Mara antelopes out of luck 
That trouble your vision, me friend. 
Come, let's quick to our tent, 
Lest the crouching queen, 
And the scheming king, 
Find us in the wind
Curious friend
Of the Mara
Come
Oh...

your melting mouth, quite coyly callow

          softer and sweet, as pink marshmallow

               oh love, a rapture tends your scheming

     upon those lips, so drips my dreaming.

A beggar must have a gimmick
And one that others can't mimic
To open the purse of a cynic
Yet keep him out of a clinic

A beggar sits there scheming
Though you may think he's dreaming
And that may leave you steaming
But it leaves the rich guys screaming!...
