HOW I LOVE CROCHETING....HOW IT RELAX ME SO....
EVERY TIME I USE MY CROCHET HOOK....
I'M SOMEWHERE ELSE...FAR AWAY I LOOK...
WHETHER I'M DOWN IN WONDERLAND....
WHETHER I'M IN A SILK RED GOWN,LIKE IN OUT LANDER...IN SCOTLAND....
WHETHER I'M DAY DREAMING OF A MUCH BETTER LIFE....
FAR,FAR,AWAY IN BRIGADOON...AS SOMEONE'S FUTURE WIFE....
OR EVEN IN A COUNTRY FARM HOUSE WITHIN MY DREAMS....
WHILE I CROCHETING ANYTHING....ISN'T WHAT IT SEEMS....
CROCHETING IS MY FAVORITE DRUG....
AT LEAST IT KEEPS AWAY FOOLISH WHORES AND THUGS....
LIFE IS WAY TOO DAMNED SHORT TO BE SWEEPING UP SOMEBODY ELSE'S RUGS....
FROM A BABY SACK OF RAINBOW COLORS DELIGHT....
TO A TINY WEE CHILD'S CLOAK...VERY WARM FOR A VERY COLD NIGHT....
A WHITE WEDDING CLOAK....YES,I MADE THAT,TOO.....
AND EVEN MULTI~COLORED PATCHES...FOR A BLANKET,I HELPED LADY SUE...
MUFFIN CAPS,AND EVEN SHAWL WRAPS...
AND I'VE EVEN CROCHETED,UNTIL I TOOK A NAP...
HAPPINESS,IN THIS ART I DO....
I EVEN BEEN INSPIRED BY A CLOAK MADE BY FIRST NATION INDIANS AT THE OAKLAND MUSEUM OF CALIFORNIA...AND I'M STILL NOT THROUGH....
CROCHETING EVEN SAVED MY LIFE....
BARELY A YEAR I JOINED BEFORE MY BELOVED MOTHER HAD DIED...
THIS BE MY TRIBUTE TO WHAT I DO...
LIFE IS WONDERFUL,THROUGH AND THROUGH....
HARD TIMES COME...AND HARD TIMES GO....
BUT,CROCHETING...IN TRUTH FULFILLS MY SOUL....
THIS BE MY HAPPINESS...THIS BE MY GOAL....
CROCHETING IS A HELL OF A DRUG...THAT I MUST CONFESS....
IT FULFILLS MY NIRVANA...NO LESS...!

Rita Secrease Poem
Whatever You Do In Your Life Time....
Through Good Times And Through Bad.....
Whatever You Do to Hogs And Sows....
Don't Ever Make A Pig Mad!
A Pig Can Be So Nice.....
A Pig Can Be So Sweet.....
But....God Forbid.....IF THEY'RE TOO BIG....!
They Will Run You OFF Of The Street!
And IF You See A PIGLET....
DON'T YOU DARE PICK IT UP!
Oh.......Here Comes MAMA SQUEALING.....!
About to Bite Your BUTT!
Now....That You've Heard My Advice........
And......PLEASE Think More Than Thrice...!
Oh..........PLEASE DON'T EVER FORGET TO FEED THE PIG.........!
Or Else.....Your Home Will Look More Than A Mess So Big...........
And If You Do......They'll Be So Glad!
DON'T EVER MAKE A PIG MAD!

Rita Secrease Poem
Oh, I am so sick and tired of Trash.....
And of all this Garbage,What more do you ask?
All this Flim, Flam,Fussings...and Crap........
Somebody get A Hot Torch, And BOOM! FLASH!
BullShit...I Gotta Deal with Everyday......
Get Back to The Dung Heap..........Where Trash Should Stay..........
I was Raised Much Better Than This.............
But,All I Put Up with Is Jiggaboo-Ghetto-Bullshit!
Thank You GOD,FOR SAVING MY LIFE............
Back In September....'72,By "A REAL GOOD MAN......AND HIS SAINTLY WIFE!
PRAISE THE LORD,FOR HAVING ME RAISED RIGHT......
AND NOT LIKE "THE TRASH AND CRAP.....'ALWAYS LOOKING FOR A FIGHT.....'"
Thank Heaven,for Raising Up "This Poor Little Girl....."
Far Away from "UNSPEAKABLE ABUSE....'TO FACING THE REAL WORLD'"!
"A WARRIOR WOMAN...'IS WHAT I TRULY BE..'"
NOBODY EVEN TRY TO MESS WITH ME..........!
Like "BOADICEA~BOUDICCA..'of OLD ANCIENT BRITAIN...TRIBE ICENI'"!
TAKE NO PRISONERS.....UP TO NO GOOD.......
PILLAGE THE VILLAGE....BURN DOWN THE NEIGHBORHOOD.....!
REPRESENT "BIG MOMMA....JUST LIKE SHE'S 'THE QUEEN'......"
BODIES HIT THE PAVEMENT, Y'ALL KNOW WHAT I MEAN!
HELL HATH NO FURY.....WHEN I'M MAD..........
THAT'S WHAT I DO,WHEN I TAKE OUT "THE TRASH"!
REPRESENT "THE QUEEN....'JUST LIKE SHE'S YOUR MOMMA'"....
AND ALWAYS REPRESENT "YOUR BROTHERS....'LIKE HE'S PRESIDENT OBAMA'"!
BECAUSE, I DON'T BULLSHIT....
LIKE IN 300 SPARTANS...PUSH THE BIG ELEPHANTS OVER THE CLIFF!

Rita Secrease Poem
As I Look Back Upon My Past Youth......
Now Really Realizing of All Them Truths............
Of What My Grandmaw Said,So Long Ago..........
And How Her Words of Wisdom...The Truth I Now Sow..........
From"Whores Be In They Gowns All Day........"
And; "It Ain't Worth Shit....If You Don't Do Your Work,The Right Way.......!"
And..."Let God Deal with 'The Wicked',As He Sees Right."
And Now,After All these Years,I Now Realized That My Grandmaw was Right.........!
"You Got to Get Up Real Early,In the Morn.....
To Get Everything Done,Before Ten in the Morn......."
And "Never,Ever,Disrespect....Even to 'The Folks Have Done You Wrong.........'
Let 'THE LORD' Deal with Them....for Good,Strong Faith,will Make You Strong.......!"
And "OLD FASHIONED WAYS..'Will Never Go Out of Style'......"
That's How Grandmaw Always Said,with that Sweet,Yet Stern Smile..........
I Can't Believe I am Quoting THE SAME THINGS,SHE SAID TO ME........
Though, Grandmaw has been gone,for over A Quarter Century............
But,My Grandmaw was Right,Even to This Day.................
For I KNOW that Even In HARD TIMES,GOD WILL ALWAYS FIND A MUCH BETTER WAY.........
Grandmaw Was Tough,And Strong as Brandy...........
Still,Sweet and Delicate,Lke Rocky Road Candy............
With The Best Advice She Had,Passed Onto Me...........
I Became "THE BIG MOMMA....'I CAME TO BE'..........!"
Just Like "Life for Me Ain't Been No Crystal Stair........."
I Must Remain Strong,Like Grandmaw Did,Long Ago,Then...For Now Come There...
Will Be One More "BIG MOMMA..'After Me'....."
Though,Not from my loins,Eventually.............
Unto "THE FUTURE 'BIG MOMMAS-TO-BE'..........!"

FIVE DOLLAR FRIDAY AT SAFEWAY,MY FAVORITE DAY OF THE WEEK.......
FROM EIGHT PIECES OF GOLDEN FRIED CHICKEN,AND MORE,BESIDES THAT I MUST SPEAK.............
BESIDES OF GOLDEN FRIED CHICKEN,THERE'S SO MUCH,SO MUCH,MUCH MORE.....
UPON THAT GOOD OL' FRIDAY,AT SAFEWAY,I ADORE....
SWEETS,FRESH FRUIT,AND PASTRIES....
ONLY UPON A FIVE DOLLAR FRIDAY....AT SAFEWAY....BE.............
MY FAVORITE SAFEWAY;AT "THE ISLAND.......'SOUTH SHORE DRIVE'.......
OF ALAMEDA", UPON ANY FRIDAY TO BE HAPPY,FREE,AS WELL..AS ALIVE.....!
FIVE DOLLAR FRIDAY,IS THE BEST..........
TO SAVE LOTS OF MONEY,UPON THE WEST...........
BUT...FIVE DOLLAR FRIED CHICKEN,I'LL TRY TO BE TRUE..........
INSTEAD OF ONE BASKET,HELL.......I'LL JUST PURCHASE TWO!
AND WHILE I'M AT IT,I'LL GET SOMETHING ELSE..........
TO LAST A WHILE,WHILE I'LL CONVALESCE.........
I'LL NEED SOME PROTEIN,AND IRON,TOO..........
AND GOOD,GOLDEN,FRIED CHICKEN,OF PLENTY...WILL PERFECTLY JUST DO...!
AND,I MAY SOUND REAL GREEDY........
BUT,IT'S JUST COMMON SENSE..........
FIVE DOLLAR FRIDAY,IS WORTH SAVING A LOT OF DOLLARS AND CENTS!
BUT,I'M REALLY NEEDY.................
FOR THEM EIGHT PIECES OF GOLDEN FRIED CHICKEN TO GO...........
AND IF I CANNOT HAVE IT HOT,THEN I'LL GLADLY TAKE IT COLD..............
FIVE DOLLAR FRIDAY AT SAFEWAY...HERE I COME!
HAVE THEM FRIED CHICKENS READY,SO I CAN STOCK UP ON SOME!
I SAID IT ONCE,AND I'LL SAY IT AGAIN..............
FIVE DOLLAR FRIDAY MAKES ME HAPPY,AND VERY SATISFYING.......!
AND THERE'S NOTHING IN THE WORLD,BUT,I WON'T SETTLE FOR LESS.......
THAN,FIVE DOLLAR FRIDAY AT SAFEWAY,IN THE BAY AREA,THAT I MUST CONFESS........
A SIMPLE PERSON,THAT I KNOW,I BE.........
BUT,WHILE I'M STILL LIVING,AND WHILE I'M STILL FREE............
IT'S JUST FIVE DOLLAR FRIDAY,AT SAFEWAY,,,,,FOR NOW,FOR ME!

Rita Secrease Poem
What Will Be,Will Come to Be...!
Kill Three Birds With One Stone,to Be Free...!
Sacred Fire Upon My Chest......
Do Thy Will...And Do It Best...!
Let That Pain Go Forth And Be....
Unto Those Who've Caused Thy Misery...!
The Names I Won't Say....
For You Know Them Very Well....
Go Forth Unto Them,Time Three.....
And Make Them Suffer The Same Exact Hell.....!
What Will Be....Will Come To Be.....!
Make Them All Suffer Three Times The Pain That They've Done Unto Me....!
Whether By Natural GOD'S GIVEN GRACE.....
Put These Vipers In Their Place...!
Whether TEMPEST,TSUNAMI, or....Even TORNADO......
Fulfill Thy Will With Such Powerful Bravado....!
Just Like Shakespeare's DUKE OF MILAN...PROSPERO....
Though I'm Not A Man....
Upon This Enchanted Island.....
I Be.....
A CONJURER'S DAUGHTER....A MAMBO....Is ME!
All I want Is Justice,But...More Than For Me.....!
But,FOR THE OTHERS WHO WERE WRONGED....NOW...As Well As Years,Decades,Besides....THE CENTURIES....!
Whether...TEMPEST,TSUNAMI,TORNADO,...EVEN EARTH QUAKE......
All We Want Is Justice Fulfilled To The Greatest By GOD'S Powerful Grace!
As MOSES DONE DID OVER THREE THOUSAND YEARS PAST.....
As QUEEN ESTER DONE,ALSO....
IT'S ALL THAT I ASK...!
To Prevent A MUCH BIGGER MESS WORSE THAN WORLD WAR TWO....
I PRAY TO THE ALMIGHTY....YOU KNOW WHAT TO DO....!
EVEN IF YOU GOTTA DO AFTER NOAH BUILT THE ARK....
EVEN IF YOU HAVE TO TEAR THE WHOLE EARTH APART...!
IF THAT WHAT IT TAKES FOR ABSOLUTE PEACE....
THAN DO IT SOON...TO CAUSE WAR TO BE PERMANENTLY TO CEASE...!
IN ORDER TAKE US ALL TO THE PROMISED LAND....
THAT HIGHER DIMENSION,AWAY FROM THE EVILS OF MAN...!
WHAT EVER IT TAKES IN THE GREAT MOTHER'S NAME.....
GAIA TERRA...SO PEACE WILL FINALLY REIGN...!
WHAT EVER IT TAKES....!
FOR ALL OF OUR SAKES...!
PLEASE MAKE A WAY...!
That's All That I Have To Say...!
I Have Said My Say......

Rita Secrease Poem
I've Done My Best,Beyond My Means......
But,Still You Act Like A Superior Queen........
You Have No Heart,You Have No Soul........
So,Now It's High Time For You to Go......
"THE CONJURE MAN..'Is Waiting for You'"......
No Time to beg for forgiveness,for it's All Over,and Through......
HIM WORK HIM TRICK,HIM STAMP HIM FOOT.....
HIM MAKE YOU SICK,WITH HOLY ROOTS.....
"THE CONJURE MAN,'PUT A CURSE ON YOU'......"
You cannot run,it's over and through............
I've Done My Best,and You Treat Me Mean.............
NO MORE NEEDS,NOR MONEY GREEN..............
"THE CONJURE MAN...'with red,red,hair........'"
HE PUT IT UNDER THE BASEMENT STAIRS...............
HIM STAMP HIM FOOT,AND WURL AROUND..........
IT'S TIME TO MEET THY MAKER INTO THE GROUND...........
"THE CONJURE MAN 'HE MAKE YOU SICK'"
NO MORE TROUBLE FROM YOU.......THIS TIME IT'S IT..........!
Make Your Peace,You can't break and Run............
'cause
'THE CONJURE MAN 'IS HERE'"...........And I'M Already Gone!
"HIM MOUTH IS WIDE,HIS EYES ARE RED...........
I Won't See You Tomorrow....for 'Like The Others;YOU,TOO....WILL BE DEAD'"!
I've Done All the Good,without a fuss,but A SWEET GRIN............
Still,It's High Time Now,To PAY FOR ALL OF YOUR SINS!
Last,But Not Least......
REST-IN-PEACE!

Rita Secrease Poem
I SEE THE WRITING UPON THE WALL
LIKE SODOM AND GOMORRAH ABOUT TO FALL
NAUGHT BUT WICKEDNESS HATH COME TO THIS PLACE
THE TIME HAS COME TO RIGHTOUSNESS FACE
AWAY FROM THIS SINFULNESS BE
I ORDER YOU TO GO UP NORTH WHERE YOU WILL BE FREE
I SEE THE WRITING UPON THE WALL
LOT'S WIFE WILL BE TURNED INTO SALT AS SODOM AND GOMORRAH FALL
WHAT WILL BE IS WHAT WILL BE
GO UP NORTH WHERE YOU'LL BE TRULY FREE
AND DON'T LOOK BACK OR ELSE BAD THINGS WILL ABIDE
THOU MUST TAKE THAT NIGHT TRAIN RIDE
THE PROMISED LAND AWAITS
FROM THIS PLACE OF SIN
SOON YOU MUST LEAVE FOR A BRAND NEW LIFE WILL SOON BEGIN
I'VE SEEN THE WRITING UPON THE WALL
THIS SODOM AND GOMORRAH WILL SOON ALSO FALL
TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE
WE MUST PREPARE
WE MUST TAKE FLIGHT AND WE MUST SOON GO THERE
WITHIN THESE THREE YEARS
YOU HAVE GAINED MORE COMMON SENSE
AND OPENED YOUR EYES TO HIGHER WISDOM
THROUGH PAIN AND TEARS
IT'S GETTING HIGH TIME TO CAST OFF ALL THESE SINFUL FEARS
THE TIME HAS COME TO SAY GOODBYE
AND NO MORE LIVING THIS DAMNED CURSED LIES
A MUCH BETTER LIFE AWAITS FOR YOU
FINALLY A MUCH BETTER WAY OF LIVING YOUR DREAMS COMING TRUE
THIS IS LOT'S FINAL WARNING HEAR ME WELL
GET READY TO LEAVE THESE LAST DAYS OF HELL
BECAUSE THIS SODOM AND GOMORRAH WILL SURELY FALL SOON
AND IT'S TIME TO MOVE ON UP NORTH BEFORE THE ROSES BEGIN TO BLOOM
A MUCH BETTER LIFE AWAITS
AWAY FROM THE IGNORANCE OF EVIL AND HATE
AND DON'T YOU DARE EVEN TRY TO LOOK BACK
PREPARE FOR YOUR JOURNEY GET READY TO PACK!
