Thomas Talis an organist
a renaissance polyphonist
With a varied musical track
he'd suddenly change tack...

When he stood upon a tack,
He rubbed cream on
To stop germs from
Annoying poor young Jack....

Just slipped on a buffalo turd
Sharp as a tack
Flat on his back
He learned not to follow the herd!...

The game was tick-tack-toe
One person tried to put on a show
But got caught in the game
Then tried to re-claim
And won ten games in a row...

The youngest lad ever to pass
He did fall in front of his class
On the floor was a tack
He did fall on his crack
Now both hands are holding his gas...

that I becomes slowest than a snail,
that with a snap a fingers,
i can turn myself in  a memorie....

The clock
                  tick  tack,
                   slowly flows...
                    time
                   nonstop
                   steadily
                    so flits .. !...

That tick in my fur
really bugs me - 
scratch-scratch.
Tick tack rickety rack,
that tick needs to go!
Oh me, oh my,
that tick really needs to go - 
rich-ratch.

  Our ex-Pres is now laying it all bare
  At Joe Biden, he wants to spit and swear
     Pot’s calling the kettle black
     Barack, take another tack
  You look like hell yourself with that gray hair

Lonesome breeze
on the wrong track
wont my babe come back
Ole Railway on a smouldering tack
Maybe she's on the wrong train
When is she coming back
What  am I  to do
with my chagrin baby
aloft in the mayfair air...

Smell this
Smell that
Look thin
Feel fat

Breath in
Breath out
Drop in
Fall out

Step forward
Step back
Pull out
The tack

Clean wound
No scar
Move fast
Go far

Good day
Good night
Always
Alright...

There was once a lady called Ms Jack
Who lived near a grass region called Tack.
When prickled by the grasses
On her way with her glasses.
She let down her glasses and her Jack.

Whippoorwill jumping jack
Putting daisies pretty
A lonesome road
A one-eyed toad
Painting butterfly city.

Monkey magic is tack.
Bright moonbeam sorely gone.
Upside down me.
Where is your fee?
Whippoorwill jumping fawn....

Swallow it ir not.' 
No news  to advance the world
Many coffins nailed

A new scare awaits
Attention attention past
Death has high value

For W H O.' you choose it.'
Punch and Judy show so many
Division fatigue despair

Just as the wind has come about
And it's time to change tack;
There's a new hand on the tiller
Of the mutinous, rudderless boat;
Now doomed to float aimlessly,
Until it arrives at an uncharted port
Its cargo spoiled, wasted, ruined....

her eyes were blue skies

the thrill of the hunt was a long track
she was like finding a needle in a haystack
he finally captured her eyes
thread to bare was full size
threading the needle took patience and tack

A new teacher whose discipline lacked,
From his pupils was daily attacked.
So he taped to each chair
A sharp tack in despair
And they soon got the point - that's a fact!

Tick tack, tick tack as I watch my clock
Waiting for the time until you get back.
19 hours without hearing your voice
Brings so much torture but I have no choice.
I wish I could have done more
So you didn’t have to soar
And leave my melancholy heart to a roar....

Sharp as a tack is what they say
When someone is perceptive,
But when that person's old and gray
The brain's not as receptive.

He may still seem both quick and smart
In things that really matter,
But aging surely plays its part
To make that tack much flatter....

The words all come together,
their meaning front to back

Like birds of common feather,
they follow the same tack

Existing for each other,
alone their context gone

All strength inside their union
—where memory turns to song

Still here by lake shore
Seagulls knife air, sailers tack, 
No traffic lights flash

The words all come together,
  their meaning front to back

Like birds of common feather,
  they follow the same tack

Existing for each other,
  alone their letters gone 

All strength inside their union,
—where quiet turns to song
