I put a couple

Red Hot candies

into a thermos

and 9 hours later,

I tried one,

and damn it,

if they weren’t

still red hot.

When I start drinking

I get real loud, I think

I’m king of the hill.

Start pushing, ambushing

swinging from my hip at will

***

You bring me back

You really calm me down

You bring me back

You bring me back

***

Hey!

I get a little irritable,

prone to be mad, when

things don’t go my way

Hair trigger, quick one the

draw, some people say

***

You ain’t such a good old

lady you know, you cheated

on me once or twice.

I had the same feeling before,

but I put myself on ice

***

You know I tried it once or twice

but I never got it right

You know I am better in the

daylight then I am at night

***

I get a little nervous,

feel insecure, when you

leave me alone I imagine

you’re having relationships

I don’t condone.

One thing that never seems to work like a charm is a charm.

I liked playing with blocks or as I called them Cubists

There is no greater shame

for a the bean

than to be a bean

without

any musical ability

 

It’s lucky the Greeks didn’t

build a giant ‘Trojan Cake’,

because the people of Troy

would have been expecting

somebody to jump out of that.

Remember!

there is a distinction

between bug spray that

kills insects and bug spray

that makes them smell better
