snow tanks grip winter wasteland
frozen hearts cry peace

Don Key went hither, thither and yon
Plowing fur rows to the crack of Dawn
From March to December
This upstanding member
Served as a yokel phenomenon...

Leader
Confident, assertive
Leading, aiding, helping,
Friends, admirers, haters, destroyers
Gossiping, bossing, glaring
Passive, aggressive
Follower...

Was once an upstanding model citizen
But lately it seems much smut I do send
Where are my morals
Used to act normal
Now corrupted and perverted down to my end

LOL...

It spin a while, did you mean it's been a while
Try practicing your english, you old pedophile
You can't mean me
An upstanding SOB
C'mon, are you sure you're an anglophile...

Gonna check out my ancestry, where I'm from
Perhaps from royalty or maybe from a bum
Who's wifey kicked him out
An upstanding dude I doubt
Should leave it alone, might dig up some scum...

I'm an upstanding gentleman, I'm not lying down
Though at times when presented I act like a clown
When meeting peeps
Silliness does creep
Go into my act, leave em rolling in their gowns!!!...

Have you heard of a duck that really can't cluck
Bet you're thinking a bad word that rhymes with duck
More sophisticated am I
An upstanding sweet guy
Now stop... my naughtiest phrase is “oh, shucks!”...

I'm an upstanding gentleman, I'm not lying down
Though at times when the urge urges I act like a clown
When meeting some peeps
Silliness does creep
Go into my act, leaving 'em rolling in their gowns!...

Much better to be the arrester than the arrestee
Prison comes to mind, arresters never need to plead
Free to go home for dinner

That's the assumption, a real upstanding breed...

Here I sit, lost in my thoughts about life
Bout how I managed to avoid much of life's strife
Really not special
But my head is level
Always upstanding but have laid down once or twice

Have you ever heard of a duck that can't cluck
Bet you're thinking of a bad word that rhymes with duck

An upstanding sweet guy
Now stop...  my worst naughty phrase is, “oh, shucks!”

Laudable, fine, upstanding folk.  
Year on year they shoulder the yolk.
Illustrious and kind,
Noble and refined,
Genial, with no wish to provoke.

Sincere as sincere as can be.
Honest – well, as honest as me.
Intelligent and witty,
Trustworthy and gritty.
Shame all this is pure fantasy....

There once was a Ninja so sneaky
He broke their mercenary treaty
For he turned on his own
Because greed was his bone
His skeleton is now not so meaty

Now let this be a lesson to all
Be upstanding and honour your call
Like the Ninja has fared
No sneaks can be spared
If you do it, your never to fall...

I know you wanted to make me cry.
I didn't stop till my tears ran dry.
I couldn't help but wonder why.
I asked knowing that you would lie.
Did you ever think to even try?
To be an upstanding kind of guy?
But all you did was give a heavy sigh.
And then you walked away, with no reply.
I knew I could no longer deny.
I had to be the one to say goodbye....
