Why are you a rhymer?
Why always must you rhyme?
You write all right
But when you write
You're rhymin' all the time
When did you start rhymin'?
Well, when I was kid
though sounds absurd
I'd hear a word
and that's just what I did

Venus asked of Neptune
why are you so blue?
dare not tell me, tell Mercury
she's innermost to you
I've given Saturn back his rings
he and I are through
found he and Mars parked in a car
celestial whoo hoo
I yelled, It's over, Knucklehead
then I slapped Mars and she turned red

Willie said, six weeks of snow

Will said Phil you're full of crap
Winter's not over and that is that
Phil said, well if that's your take
but we're just rodents for fuck sake
but Phil said no, Springtime's a go

When I was just a youngin'
one thing I do recall
the #telephone was in the kitchen
tethered to the wall
not #possible for privacy
unless you bought a longer cord
squeezed in the room what housed the broom
and then your heart you poured

Lies are truth & truth lies weak
when evil gets the mic

peace #glows no more
#illicit now to speak
can no longer stay #quiet
need be #commit to riot
the #bloat of greed fills the air

I've been on the #cusp of burnout
more than once I hate to say
I fall through the cracks
gotta get myself back
self care is the only way
I've been on the #cusp of true love
though none of them could last
they start out, Wow
then dwindle somehow
that daydream now lives in the past

Quench your thirst for solitude
Under the cusp of Autumn's full moon
In Mother Nature's fold
Every buried whisper told
The starry sky lays in wait
Golden hues illuminate
Lose the chaos the day
Off with life's daily toll
Weary wayward gypsy soul

the #Bay rose five feet

no sound the sails make

with loving care he strokes her hair

Twas a minute past seven
when all through the fridge
the ice cream was yelling
Oh just have a smidge
I held firm my resolve
#veered out of the room
let temptation loom
I was pleased with myself
and that restraint of mine
so I lit up a cigarette
and cracked open some wine
