Hold The Nuts

Posted on July 2, 2018 by admin

LYRICS
We’ve got enough nuts
… but what about the jam?
Enough if’s, and’s & butts
But where’s the jam
That’s where I am
If we’re going to get a…
Sand… which?
Land… which?
Understand which?
We’ve got “a” nuts,
Be nuts
See nuts
D, e, f, gee, h, I, j, k, l, m, n, o, pee
Nuts
But where’s the jam
I though you said there was a jam?
Now, here I am….

No Brainer

Posted on July 2, 2018July 2, 2018 by admin

LYRICS
Have you heard of “no brainer”
This no brainer is a strainer
Scratchin’ my head
Over what he said
Living in delusion
Lively up yourself, don’t be no dread now
Beating on a horse already dead now
Seems to be a lack of marrow
’cause the cavity is too narrow
Solid bone from ear-to-ear
Lack of gray matter I do fear

Hell Or High Water

Posted on July 2, 2018 by admin

LYRICS
Come it hell
Because, well
In high water
What’s the matter
If you’re nailed down
You’re going to drown

Wading in… into the flood
Covered by… covered by mud
Better run around
Hatches battened down

When the water’s on the rise
Puts perspective on your size
Soaking in it… up to my eyes

Seems like all will dishevel
Now that we’re past flood level
Come high water
Come it hell

Superman

Posted on June 27, 2018 by admin

LYRICS
Do you hear what I hear?
What we need here
… is a superman
More powerful than a loco’s motive
Able to stop a speeding bull$hit
I hear what we need here is a superman
Up, up and away
Here we go
What do you say
Do you know?
Nothing to fear
Grasp the cape of superman
Someway, somehow
What we need now
… is a superman
Look up in the sky
No need to ask why
Not fowl nor fuselage
At large
… superman

Ornithology

Posted on June 27, 2018 by admin

LYRICS
An amazing thing
To hear her sing
Giving choice
Wisdom wealth
With a voice
Yet no mouth
It comes out
… comes about
Travelin’ in time
Through space
Weaving sublime
Queen Anne’s lace

A beautiful thing
Listen to her sing
A soulful “nice”
Heartfelt stealth
With a voice
Yet no mouth
It comes out
… comes about
Travelin’ in time
Through space
Weaving sublime
Queen Anne’s lace

A lovely thing
Sing anything
Picture poise
Nature’s health
With a voice
Yet no mouth
It comes out
… comes about
Travelin’ in time
Through space
Weaving sublime
Queen Anne’s lace

With a voice
Yet no mouth
It comes out
… comes about

Space Tripping

Posted on June 24, 2018 by admin

LYRICS
Pack up your O2 and gravity
If you want to come with me
’cause where we’re going
There is no trace
Steadfast in the vast
Depths of space

Matador, open the door
Take the bull by the horns
Less your entrails they adorn
Will we ever, ever learn?

Bring along friction and relativity
Alien diction for clarity
’cause where we’re going
There is no trace
Steadfast in the vast
Depths of space

Hoping that one of us is genius
Alas, this giant rocket science
And where we’re going there is no race
Steadfast in the vast
Depths of space

Red Sky

Posted on June 24, 2018 by admin

LYRICS
Red sky in the evening
Wailers’ delight
Red sky in the morning
Give wailers a fright
Learning to heed warning
She’s telling you, “Here’s a clue!”
Natural forecast is coming on fast
She’s telling you, “Here’s a clue!”
Natural forecast is coming at last

Red sky in the morning
Wailers take warning
Red sky at night
Give wailers delight
She’s telling you, “Here’s a clue!”
Natural forecast is coming on fast
She’s telling you, “Hear’s a clue!”
Natural forecast is coming at last

Running Low

Posted on June 24, 2018 by admin

LYRICS
Can you run to the store
And get some more?
Wouldn’t you know
Supplies run low
Don’t want to cry
Thinking I’ll die
The depth and breadth
Of starving to death

Look at the shelves
There’s nothing there
Open the cupboard
Completely bare
Go to the pantry
There’s nothing to see
From country to city
Somebody feed me?

Cornucopia spilling
Yet, somehow less filling
Cup runneth over
Yet, I’m left sober

Going to Shady Maple, too
For an all you can eat

Are you telling me
All you an eat for free?

Travelin’ miles
For service n’ smiles
Another run around the sun
When it’s all said and done
Can’t wait ’til next year
When my birthday draws near
Heading back to East Earl
For another whirl

LYRICS
Grab your hoe
Come on let’s go
What we reap is what we sow
Probably should water good
Adding to the neighborhood

[chorus]
Generation germination
Pant my seed
Grows like a weed

Hey, maybe our baby
Falls close to the tree..
Guess we’ll see
Probably
Sprout nine months out
Isn’t that what life’s about
[chorus]

Sometime soon… around noon
Shady Maple’s fork and spoon
Pops, son n’ me… family three
Generations dinning happily

Apply within… er, a… without

Would you like to command the Space Force?
Of course,
The forces at play in space
Poof! Gone without a trace
Zero gravity. Are you getting me?
Any notion of an object in motion
Lack-of-friction diction?
As a matter of fact,
Who ya gonna attack?
And, who’s got your back
Depending which way you face
In space
[space interlude]
(Warning! Warning!)
International space station
Encroaching are location
Poof! Gone without a trace
The forces at play in space

It’s So Hot….

Posted on June 19, 2018 by admin

LYRICS
’cause when I try
To see the sky
It’s so hot
I see why not
If I don’t die
I’ll surely fry
And If I try
To tear and cry
It’s so hot
I see why not
If I try n’ cry
The ducts run dry
Wade into shade
The heat won’t fade
It’s so hot
I see why not
Inside the oven
There’s no escapin’
Like six of one
Or half a dozen
It’s all the same
When the heat’s insance
Sizzlin’ I am
Sizzlin’
I’m sizzlin’

No Restraint

Posted on June 18, 2018 by admin

LYRICS
Re, re, re, re, restraint
Wears thin
When I see you
Wearing that skin
The skin you’re in
I’d like to see that again
Love? … or something akin
Rub on passionate
Participate
In appreciate
The love… or something akin
Taking off kid gloves
Spilling my guts
Please don’t think I’m nuts
When I look within
The passion
The person
Love… or something akin
Then again… our offspring is our kin?

Days Are Numbered?

Posted on June 18, 2018 by admin

LYRICS
You are right
Great insight
“If you count your days,
They are numbered…
They are “numb”-bered
Is there quality
Or just quantity
Due da due da ditty itty dumb ditty itty itty
Do da do da ditty itty dumb ditty itty itty
Are your days numb-bered
Or are there ways you’d rathered
Why collect regret
When we can select?

The Great Unknown

Posted on June 18, 2018June 18, 2018 by admin

LYRICS
Is there any place you own
Out in the great unknown?
Did you happen to save a cave
A quasi-hermit habitat
Or some place such as that?
Further out than under a bridge
Yet/Left undiscovered by the kids
A higher path than on the ridge
Yet/Left undercover without lids
Gone reeling/realing through the ceiling
Far, far away yet at home
Far, far away the great unknown
Can you ever be alone with yourself
Ask the elf on the shelf
Can you ever be alone with yourself?
Ah, the great unknown
If you ask me
How can that be
I guess me, myself and I are we
Alone in the great unknown
