on barefoot sand...
I walk...

to butter burn the dreaming

with one foot in the desert

Had swallowed all my pride whole,
Leaving me to drown
In darkest depths of my soul,

Then suddenly got choke
Horns stuck in his mouth
So, he tried to turn south
Flipped over just like a tub-boat

As she dashed into her yoga school
Each move is complex
Regardless of sex
But the vicar just swallowed his tool.

When shooting crap across the bend
So, he swallowed the dice

The Christmas Stew

Mrs. Clause cooked a pot of stew
The taste made Santa cry boo-hoo
He swallowed it quick
Seems that did the trick
But later, poor Santa couldn’t chew

There once was a barista named Joe
the joke always tiresome and so-so
	he swallowed it well
	because tips were swell
so he put on a pretty good show
