Hitch Up Your Trews
Tomorrow is a good day to try something new I mean, what do you think will happen to you If you choose, one time, your dream to pursue Treasure like sunlight sparkle on morning dew Or turned down a lane, the way the wind blew Where lurks a forest darker than evening news Go on, […]
Bloviated Gas
Good for everyone, everyone should say Except a group who hates one over there While, that group hates another, they say Good religious people taught to love, care Easy to imagine they only learned to hate Church shootings, beheadings, massacres So I don’t want to travel anywhere of late Due to fearful, old, white men, […]

Stretching Out
The ocean stretches out before me Until, they tell me, it returns again This what school taught me to see I cleave to what I learned, but then Except when I think the world’s flat Straight horizon shows me no curve You say world is round, imagine that To me it continues, no dip or […]
Cannot Make Us
Remember, we cannot make you do anything Not anything, at least, you do not want to do But we can punch you, make your ears ring So do not listen to what Pollyanna fools spew
