The “Doctor” Drumpf Traveling Show
Sung to the tune of Brother Love’s Traveling Salvation Show Cooling March, right And he peeves, clanging clown And the mass at the sound, tellin’ tweet Groove to the goad, to the blowdried beat down And the hound of that rude hostile bleat Mit a jagged vent There where ain’t is free And that […]

Another Day
Another day I have not accomplished What I hoped I might do when it began Still and all, at days end, I’d done some My book of life turns another the page Many goals, projects I’ve in the queue Marching 2 x 2, 16 dozen fight to get in I know where to go with […]
