Your guess is as good as mine,
The answer is hard to find.
You might take this with a grain of salt
Knowing I heard it on the grape vine
Why they let the cat out of the bag
I'd say your guess is as good as mine
They say I tend to sit on the fence,
Off my rocker by not a far cry
That I'm not playing with a full deck
They should let those sleeping dogs lie!
Because there's method to my madness,
And I'm to blame if things go south
So I'm not beating around the bush
You heard it straight from the horses mouth!
When people ask the impossible question,
What do they expect?
“If aliens are real, then what do they look like?”
Something you have never seen.
Something you could not imagine.
Something you would never forget.

Horn Heuristic Composite Haiku
This consists of seven haiku combined
for a total of 21 lines. Both seven and
21 appear to be lucky for some reason
or another.
Heard it has been told
Your guess is as good as mine
Or someone else's.
That is my introductory haiku.
Was hard to measure
Also value of treasure
From perfect pleasure.
Appeared out of site
Infinite beyond belief
Somewhat ill-conceived.
Beaten to a pulp
Result of belligerence
Now not recognized.
Totally fruitless
Also inescapable
And no longer missed.
Hope it will be found
Along with what it pertained to
Gave up searching for.
Reason is unknown
Not sure what end product was
You to confiscate.
Voters did adjourn
Whole case was given up on
A total, lost cause.
(May sound familiar
A Presidential campaign
Complete oblivion.)

Jill and I still have terrible coughs
and headaches. Think we will skip
St. James Episcopal Church in
Shallotte, NC.
Through Iowa Did Slosh
Through Iowa all candidates did slosh
Turning out to be a guess and by gosh
Another rumor was heard on the vine
Was your guess is as good as mine.
Guess work became style of the day
Results would turn out any old way
If you compared results to next state
Never did now who had to celebrate.
America, full of lightening and thunder
Campaign results we will always wonder
And as to which side who would commit
The political analyst was a complete idiot.
We are all beginning to think.

Either Be Leader or an Idiot
Candidate was found dead in their tracks.
Knowing they were doomed ended up
being exhumed. Then after their death
voters started making way for a very
knowledgeable candidate who had
wiser things to say.
My mind likes being leader of the pack
And not ever finding itself further back
Hope to never end up in the very end
Or me to White House have to send.
All candidates appear to be loose-lipped
Yet messages they manage to encrypt
Up with anything do not seem to line
Meaning your guess is as good as mine.
Instead of being some leading stallion
You became lost in a whole battalion
And then as usual without any fail
Would end up taking the wrong trail.
So why be perturbed when you perceived
By another candidate again were deceived
Found fate to be full of doom and gloom
And you became an idiot ready to bloom.

RiverSea Plantation
Bolivia, NC
IN A STATE OF HYPERDIMWITTEDNESS SPREAD OUT FROM THE DARK ABYSS
SO I CHILL
MOTION SICKNESS HYPERTHORMAL SO I GOT A COLD
STRANDED BETWEEN TWO NEGATIVE PULLS
THREADED IN A BEAM OF LIGHT
SO I FIGHT
BRANDED SCARED AND WIRED TO THE MAX
SO I LAY ON MY BACK
DISSAPAITING ANTICIPATING NEVER RELAXATING
PUTTS ME IN THE MIND OF STUPIDITY
HI YALL MY NAME IS AUTRY
I THINK I AM A POET
MAYBE I JUST DONT KNOW IT
BUT AS FAR AS I CAN SEE VERY LITTLE
SPACE CRUSHED MIND MUSH
SO I HUSH
There is more to life
Than what it seems.
Life filled with all forms
of agony, misery and sorrow.
Yet we may be used to situations
Where disappointments and
frustrations pushes us on.
But I ask,
Should this be the reason
why we cant put on a smile
when the sun wakes up its sleepy head?
Should this be the reason
why we shouldn’t take of our shoes
and dance when the sky releases its tears?
Your guess is as good as mine!
An achievement is not making everyone happy
But doing something out of the blue to make yourself happy.
Yes! People might see you as a failure
But seeing yourself as that winner is your achievement
Don’t give up on the little things that make you happy due to what people say
Don’t give up on your dreams because of little disappointments in life
But by believing in yourself is an achievement to lead you on to success
YA KNOW WHAT, I AIN'T ENTITLING THIS BECAUSE I JUST MISSED THE TITLE STORE
THERE ONCE BE A PAIR
THEY MET IN A PARK
IN THE DARKNESS OF DESPAIR
AND SUDDENLY A SPARK
BUT AN ERRANT FLAME THIS COULD BE
ALAS, A LAD AND A LASS
'TWAS ON A NIGHT TWO WOUDST AGREE
TO NAKED THEIR FEET AND WALK ON SHATTERED GLASS
OH THE SHARPENED SHALE OF DEPTH IT GOAL
LEAVING BLOOD AS A TRAIL THEY KNEW LED TO NOWHERE
AND OH THE INNOCENCE THOSE ILLICIT ILLUSTRATIONS STOLE
YET NEITHER USED THEIR BETTER JUDGEMENT AND NOR FEAR
EACH PAIR OF EYES FOCUSED ON A FLICKERING LAMP
YET MINDS BESET BY SHOULD OR SHOULDN'T THEY
AND THERE MIDST A MISTY EVE WITH TRANQUILLY DAMP
HE SAID "FOR THE MISSING STARS IN THE SKY SOMEONE MUST PAY"
AND SO THEY ROSE TO STROLL SOMEWHERE EACH KNEW LITTLE OF
BLINDLY DID BOTH YONDER THEN TO PIERCE A FEARSOME LINE
NO, IT BE NOT WHAT YOU MAY THINK IF YOU THINK IT LOVE
I ONLY KNOW THEY WERE WAYWARD AND ONE OF THEM DIED BUT FROM
WHAT......WELL YOUR GUESS IS AS GOOD AS MINE
