Pearls Before Swine
So many pearls before the swine
He didn’t know which to pick
So fell asleep and dreamed to fly
Straight up to some Alpean peak
There he took selfies, drank high tea
And then he flew back home
Down to the native piggery
Where one day he was born
His dream was suddenly cut short
No pearls around he saw
He yawned and in surprise

Pearls Dipped in Swine
Pardon me, sir
But your fly is unzipped
Deeply offended
The ‘sir’ offered
To sock me in the lip
I responded in kind

Piggy
Oh, the piggy loves you
The piggy loves me
The piggy is homeless,
yessiree.
Give the pig a cookie
Give the pig a bed
Or maybe a sarcophagus,
in case the piggy's dead.
Punch'm in the snout
Poke'm in the eye
Take the piggy home
and dump'm in the sty

Rise of the Swine
For the swine shall arise
from the river of fire
armed with the hammer
of scornful desire
seeking to feast
in its blood thirsty rage
on the meek and the feeble
the weakened of age
From his black soulless eyes
to his char crusted snout
alas he emerges
to trample about
fanning his flames
he shall rise ever higher
this aching unquenchable
belly

A Herd of Swine
Oh Lord, please put me in the clear
Though a man like me shouldn't have your ear
It sounds so silly in my mind
To call upon Who I defy
That's why
I'm like a demon now
Praying only to be swine
Oh Lord, I trample out a path
And you ingest the aftermath
I kind of liked that cross of mine
Put it

Pearls Before Swine
Drove past your old house, slowin' just because..
perhaps just to return to scene of the crime.
Kinda sad to find nothing left as once was,
proof your lapdog better comfort than I.
Came to settle all old grievances,
finish what once so well begun, though breaking.
My mistake in guess, you shined in happiness,
and the whole world was

Swine Rush
Little piggies in a hurry,
gotta run and catch that muddy dollar
As me rat race cheese-off,
peddling asphalt fumes of a 401k Harley
Punch-the-clock tired worker bees
drone alone in a homely cubicle
Fraidy kitty cats don’t snatch the keys,
‘cause blind mice can’t cloud read
the Free Spirit illume manifesto
Little piggies hate sleigh riding
the commuter Rosebud
Butterfly Effect daydreaming ... wondering what

America rots in the corpse
Of a swine
Wipe away the blood
You filthy liar
The world cries out
Only a gunshot
Just a single gunshot

Beautiful Swine
Beauty without modesty
Oink oink oink
Look at me,
See how I shine,
How loud I squeal,
Yet empty inside,
Is how I feel,
I am unsure of my worth
So I dress up ugly with a skirt,
Parade around
Take a vote.
Collecting baggage
As I go.
Heavier and heavier
My burden gets
A pig to market
O jiggety jig
Someone Always
Needs a pig
Beauty grows
From the inside out
Timeless shine
That

SWINE LOVE
Henry loved Penelope
it was him that she adored
but Henry grew quite restless
she could see that he was bored.
"Go take a break," she finally said
"this farm is long and wide
i know you've always dreamed to see
what's on the other side"
.
Henry 's first encounter
was Gabrielle the goose
"want to have some fun,"she asked
"go hog wild and hang

2009 To the Swine
i wanted to beg you to hold me.
i laid on my back, trying to catch my breath,
but you wouldn't have noticed.
you wouldn't have wanted to understand my yearning for any emotional connection.
you wonder where my voice has gone as my tongue gags me in attempts to hold back
three ferocious words...
