Such a dreamless sleeper was Dan Doff
Snoring each night, he slept like a log
Suddenly, it occurred to him
Just once, he needed to dream
But poor Dan knew not what to dream of.
You said you got my back
But when i turn around i see no one
You promised to make me special
But am feeling so cheap,damn am on special
You thought you love me perhaps
But now am drinking a litre per-herbs
**** felt like you stabbing my heart and now it disturbs
The blood flow now my heart is leaking
So i thought i should just write a poem
So ama transport the food myself cause iam my own tube phloem
Neglected my friends and family so it was only just us two
Even got your name on my skin in a form of a tattoo
Die for you? oh yes i would have done that too
Am gone now
Wont even turn back
I'm scared of wrong turns
You watched me as the sun-burns
My forehead,heavy stuff on my mind **** feels like i have four heads
I guess i slept like a log and i just woke up in the fire place
You expected me to fold myself in half like a brief-case
I was going to brief you about the case
But now i finally stood up
Hold myself together mybe am bio
Five fingers in the air including the palm,bye yooo
Some years ago I fell on hard times.
So my friend took me in and my cat Kiwi too.
At times life speaks in rhythm and rhymes.
We had adventures and this story's true.
She had Simba who was a huge dog.
Sometimes the cat and dog would fight.
Simba usually slept like a log.
While Kiwi prowled all through the night.
One day I tried to protect my kitty.
So into the master bedroom I threw her.
Unknown to me this was such a pity.
For suddenly there was flying fur!
Seems Simba was in there taking a snooze.
Kiwi landed smack on his back.
Out they charged and began to cruise.
Galloping like a pony,nothing left intact.
Kitty dug in her claws;held on for dear life.
Doggy whimpered as he flew room to room.
Those claws were sharp as a razor knife.
This magic carpet ride bound for doom.
We laughed so hard we nearly spit.
To see kitty taking this rough ride.
We couldn't help but roll with it.
Suddenly Simba flipped on his backside.
Down flew Kiwi over his head.
Off she ran , somewhere to hide.
Simba glanced around with dread.
That was sure some crazy ride!

Twas the night before New Years
and all slept like a log
all the creatures were sleeping
except for Jackson Pug dog,
his puppies were nestled
all snug on the floor,
when he heard a noise
a rap on the door
He was up on his paws
down the stairs he did run
he opened the door
oh my goodness, what fun
A hug and a kiss
and a shake of the paw
His Mother and Father
and Mother in-law
we thought we'd surprise you
his Father did say
with presents for puppies
we picked up on the way
they all sat around a
warm crackling fire place
when Janis appeared
with a smile on her face
You could hear them all
laugh with a cock of an ear
Merry Christmas to you all
and a Happy New year
Before there was pain meds
Before the ER had been abused
There were healers who freely gave their
Time and gifts to those in need
If a child had a bad burn
Call Mrs. Azzie and she could
Talk the fire out of the burn
She mumbled and talked real soft
Until the child went to sleep
Then slept like a log, all night
Unbelievers, here and see
**Just FYI--Mrs. Azzie also had a cure
Potion in her bag for all your
ailments, it's called working the roots
Potions made of various roots
Yellow root, sassafrass and other
root teas, many I don't even want to know
What they are, the smells are vicious enough!!
I think she came from a witch doctor heritage.
