A Good Day To Die

A Good Day To Die
     They say it's a good day to die,
    Under this concrete sky,
     But i know i will fry,
    On Death Row, a sigh,
     It's no lie,
    It's a good day,
     As, the Red Sox are away,
    So there'll be plenty of juice,
     And, the people will pay,
    To watch the melee,
     And, it's a tuesday,
    So they all get meat,
     It's cruel,
    But it's better than gruel,
     So, all in all,
    It's a very good day to die,
     And i can't be unhappy,
    'Cos i done it !

The Elk's Tear

The Elk's Tear
     One fine day, 
    He killed an elk,
     Then went, 
     To put it on the shelf,
    He saw a tear, 
     Fall from it's eye,
    He cried,
     Oh Good Lord,
    What have i done?
     I'm sorry,
    I took away your fun,
     And from that day on,
    He never wore a gun.

A Great Day For Leopards

A Great Day For Leopards  
   It was a great day for leopards,
  Three poachers killed,
   And one maimed horribly,
   It was a bad day for them !
  But it was great day for leopards,
   They had a party,
  And celebrated in style,
   With three deer & an hyena,
  Well into the night,
  They feasted, merrily,
    I'm glad for the leopards,
  But, for the poachers,
    It's a dangerous game,
   The leopards should remain,
  And have the right to exist,
    But the slaughter still persists,
   But at least they had one great day.

They Don'T Do Religion

They Don't Do Religion ; 
  They don't do religion,
 Very much these days,
  Except when it's convienient,
 Then everybody prays !
  But down on the sidewalk,
  It's a different game,
 Where everbody's looking,
  For someone else to blame,
 But remember something,
  It's all down to you,
 Even when you sleep,
  And everything you do,
 'Cos they don't do Religion,
 Very much these days.

Ufo

UFO
  
     UFO
  Where are you now?
     UFO
  Beyond the clouds?
     UFO
  Why do you go?
     Will you save us?
  Or are you a foe?
     I guess,
  We'll probably,
     Never know ?!

The Fish of the Sea

The Fish Of The Sea

   The fish of the Sea are great, and generally,
  They are better swimmers,
   Than the people of the land,
   The people of the Land,
  Are shellfish, literally,
   And clams!
  But the Fish, of the Sea,
   Are stronger, than,
  The people of the Land,
   Jellyfish excluded!,
  And much better parents, generally,
   Jellyfish included,
  Bless ALL the Fish of The Sea..
    And of the Rivers & Streams,
   Pity the poor people of the Land, 
  For they cannot swim, 
   Like the Fish of the Sea, 
  And will never be free.

The Ghost of Man

The Ghost Of Man
   In a black dream,
  They appear to be,
   The Ghost of Man 
  An apparition, of multiple layers,
    Emotions, woven,
   In the blanket of Time,
    Trapped, within another frequency,
   Seeking recogition,
    And not sympathy,
   Vibrating,
    In the hope of acknowledgement,
   PLEASE LISTEN !
