Front Row Tickets to Mainstreet

In a crowded room filled with high society, and
In the facade of decadence, plays the Back Street Symphony
Winos falling asleep covered in yesterdays news
A lone saxaphone player, playing the blues
Neon signs and desinger lines are giving him his cues
He says "I've paid my dues"
I've got front row tickets to mainstreet
Walkin' by, don't know who you'll meet
A freak show on every corner
A broken heart walks on as a mourner
In a darkened alley you can hear him pray
Searching for a Savior with some words and a brown bag
Can anyone spare some change for me?
There goes the prom queen, is it a dream?
Hell is open twenty-four hours a day
I have front row tickets to main street
Watching the devils' choir earn their keep
There tearing down the walls in LA
There's a hooker on display, on main street

TICKETS TO THE TOMB

"Just for tonight," they say with a grin
As they chug their drinks and toast to sin.  
"Life's too short," they laugh and puff 
Not knowing their fun's just deadly stuff.

Unbeknownst, they book their tickets to the tomb
Barely out of the womb, then off to their doom.  
In a few short years, they're all but gone 
With lungs darkened and hearts tarred on.

Smoking and drinking, their idea of fun
Unaware of the wheels they've spun.  
They dance with danger, a risky delight
Their words, a joke, in the dead of night.

New Law: Mouth Police Are Giving Out Tickets

As of today you need to watch your mouth and what you say.  
We have always been able to hurt someone's feelings by our words.   
Tell them off or bring them down. 
Now do it and you will be fined. 
First time $500.00.  
Each time after $1,000 each.

Pecos Bill

Pecos Bill rode herd in the vast forlorn.
His quiet Paint gobbled buttered popcorn.
A tornado, in a fit, 
Came for a whirlwind visit. 
“Paint, meet Curley. His back I will adorn.”

Bill grabbed his rope and threw a loop with hope
And saddled the whirlwind so Paint could lope,
Leisurely grazing along
While Bill sang a peaceful song
Though the twister used top spin, Bill could cope.

Whirly raced north swift as antelope might. 
Picking up barns, tossing them left and right,
Heaving a freight train five miles. 
Bill hung on with joyful smiles,
“Almost beats chasing roadrunners at night.”

Bill rode that twister into a broke nag, 
That lay city curbside limp as a rag,
A sadder, but wiser storm. 
Where his horse Paint, true to form, 
Whinnied by the nag, wanting to play tag.

A jolly sheriff saw Bill ride in view,
He chose at least three tickets to issue:
Parking in a tow away;
No emissions valve that day;
Driving a twister with no license too.

After finding out about unpaid
Ticket at the DMV
I being to hyperventilate and
Had to sit down for moment an
That’s when my brain went to work
I told them that it had to 
Be a mistake, a cliché in the system
Next, I explained that it 
Must have been someone who
Used my name or a doper ganger
And you got the names mixed up

Free Tickets As a Fundraiser

I am not a great gambler,
But I frequently buy a lotto ticket
And a One dollar scratch,
Most weeks,
With occasional claw backs resulting,
And the bank still sound.

But when it comes to free tickets on the scratch,
I am still waiting to break the drought, 
Which leads me to my fundraising idea, 
Of giving the free tickets to charity, 
With the hope the gods will be kinder to them.

The Next Show Will Be Never Please Have Your Tickets Ready

So how can i convince
Okay i will give it ago
My next line will impress
Exit subliminally stage left

Cheap Tickets

Was just my luck to grab pretzel and beer,
rush to nosebleed seats to watch ball with fear.
An usher was glaring at me,
pointing at a sign I would see.
No alcohol, in this seating — oh dear!

Buying and Selling Tickets

Like Hollywood
politicians play a part; 
not from deep within
nor high above,
their common nature
a superficial ego…

though as poets
we command our seats 
of beauty at all cost--
as God
Our obedience
to enter….

Two Tickets To Heaven

If I could give you two tickets to heaven,
 who would be the two people you would choose?
Might it be your loving Mother or Father,
 or your adorable children if you only had two?
Maybe your Grandma and Grandpa,
 who were watching over you, their whole lives through?
Or possibly a couple of old friends,
 that you grew up with since the young age of two?
How about your sister and brother,
 who were with you as you grew?
A husband, wife or a loving aunt or uncle,
 with so many possibilities it's really difficult to choose.
You see, to me it wouldn't really matter,
 because I'm already giving my two tickets to you.

Lottery Tickets--From Buying To Selling

There once was a crazy man called Calvin
spent a lot of money for jackpot win
but it was his bad luck
soon became a bankrupt
started selling tickets for a living!

Forged Lottery Tickets

In a game of chance where winner takes all
Won one million pounds on the last ball,
To celebrate my win
Marriage gave way to sin,
The Judge demands a national recall.

There it sat staring my way
Shiny and silver with grey. 
They were yelling my name
but those tickets aren't the same 
Now a days.
