Be Like John Wayne
Written April 14, 2017 It's easy to fall in love Even easier to break apart I've been trying for six long years To mend this broken heart You used to talk to me so sweet My biggest fan in the bleacher seats From the rose bush to the baseball bat Why'd you have to go and be like that Why don't you just be...

Wayne Weigh-In
If you heard a Soup Censor holler They just saw a Cook Islands dollar Allowing for windage That Tiki appendage* Could incite a 9-1-1 caller! * Gershon-approved, i.e., circumcised Is that sufficient evidence the Lost Tribes of Israel were on a Cook-out?...
