Inclined

Inclined

The movement of madness,

The selfishness of desire,

Who is higher ? Who is fire ?

Broken ascents,

Non-existent dividends,

Where is laughter ? Where is water ?

Deformed misinformation,

Dematerialized ambition,

What is sin ? What is wind ?

Transcendental realignment,

An ages long assignment,

Which is worth ? Which is earth ?

- Muthoni Tenn

That Aint Right, Ya'Ll No Better

obtuse behavior, undeserving of mention
she was rather obtuse and wrong
rather mean and loud
she spoke real loud and said little
" damn you sir" she said" damn you!"
most boo'd her as she walked the stage singing
the song" didgo(AND GONE)" and " causing trouble"
"Badgirl Stigma, Rocks!" screamed a painted face Heathen
in barely nothing, she took his flowers and called him
a "boop face", this review of music by Tickles
speaks of the lack of morals in our music,
and lesser appreciation for sheetmusic and classical collaberations.
" they smashed eggs over the gayguys head,
and poured milk on the gaywomans chest, this is obtuse
and ridulous!

Premium Member The Early Seventies

The early seventies was rather interesting
one minute hanging out with a pack of wolves
predators of the night... the next... nine weeks in boot camp
on the great lakes in Winter...so cold
then off to a very large aircraft carrier
where I spent the next two years roaming its flight decks
until..." Parker, are you, Parker "
you have fifteen minutes to get off the ship
and thirty days to make it to Memphis, Tenn
for aviation electronics school...problem...yes it was
we were in port in Naples, not Naples Fl, Naples Italy
so off I went to find the NATO base to catch a flight to Spain
but...being the red-blooded American boy I was
I decided to rent a room for two weeks in Naples, Italy
and enjoy the nightlife...so I did just that
after two weeks found NATO, flew to Spain
enjoyed a few days there, then flew to the states
made it to Memphis with a day to spare

The End

The Hoe Down Show Down

The Hoe Down Show Down
Old Grandpa tune his fiddle with pride.
Uncle Joe on the old banjo
Dad he was willing to go on the old washtub.
I had my spoons in my hand ready for the old showdown.
 In walked the Matfields with a smile on their face. 
Thinking this hoedown was their place.
It all began in one face pace song after song and the dance was right on a faster pace.
Orange Blossom special was the Matfeilds last song.
But old grandpa had one more to be done.
As the cheer rang out old Rocky Top began to play.
The place jumped with joy and began to perform with pride. 
Because old Rocky Top Tenn is our home town you see.
The Matfields hung their heads and gave a smile in defeat.
They lost a hoe down show down in Rocky Top Tenn.

Blountville Tennessee Police Report

Blountville, Tenn - Police Report

A woman from Blountville’s East High
Accused of what she did deny
She said “search me- you can
Here, I’ll give you a hand”
The policeman said “Go on comply”
She quickly stepped out of her skirt
Next to come off was her shirt
Her bra then came unhooked
As the officers looked
Ever and always alert
She thought what disrobing would do
Distract them till they thought it true
If they saw no lost money
They would have to say “Honey
I guess that the thief wasn’t you”
She said “See I told you it’s true 
An apology from you is due”
But the cops didn’t waiver
One said “Do us a favor
And kindly remove your left shoe”
And there in her shoe lay the bill
The fifty she took from the till
They said now get dressed
We were not that impressed
And she gave them a look that could kill

So what did we learn – let me see
The policeman in east Tennessee
Were not led astray
By this woman’s display
Could I say the same had it been me?

Uncle Mike
