I WANT TO RIDE MY BIKE
(i want to ride it where i like...) ((Life is Good)) {smiley face}
The other week-or so-(Time)
where does it go?
one day,recently, i pedaled to work like any other day-horray!
(the combo betwixt hurray! & horror)
(an audience aside)
EPIGRAM, n. a short sharp saying in prose or verse-freq. characterized by acerbity &
(sometimes) by wisdom. for example:
in each human heart are a tiger, a pig, an ass and a nightingale. diversity of character is due to
their unequal activity
(Ambrose Bierce-c previous)
out of the hedgegrow on silverleaf ave. in islandia
a white white dog, with a red-red mouth
(a mutt-me thinks? retriever-shepherd maybe-i was startled -but not alarmed)
This dog paced with me for about 100 yards-he on the sidewalk-i on the road
i sped-up-he responded-i slowed-he conccured
(i thought i was having a "god" moment-what the bejesus is going on here?)
About 30 feet from the T in the road-(All must stop)
the dog came off the sidewalk and walked into my path
if i had not braked-i think i would have hit him
Stupid Dog!(seen the 'toon?)
he proceeded to enter the T(with a car coming in each direction)
and stand dead center-facing south
he stopped traffic to allow me to pass
and then returned to the sidewalk and followed my pace.
DOG-mans' best friend
dyslexic atheist:doesn't believe in dog
houstus-stupid man!
Courage
((If i were king of the forest....
what if u met an elephant? i'd tie him up in celephant))
(the cowardly lion)
ELETELEPHONY
Once there was an elephant
who tried to use the telephant--
no no- i mean an elephone
who tried to use the telephone
((dear me-i am not certain quite
that even now i've got it right))
However it was; he got his trunk
entangled in the telephunk-
the more he tried to get it free
the louder buzzed the telephee
{ i fear i better drop this song-of
elephop and telephong!}
Laura Richards
LAMA
The one-l lama
he's a priest
the 2-l llama
he's a beast
and i will bet
a silk pajama
there isn't any

THE MAN WHO MAKES U LAUGH
Look around u mr. clown. you're drowning in your dreams
a sea of strangers each one reaching out for you
"make us laugh"mr funny man-fame at last-mr funny man
could the love you crave be waiting in some woman's heart?
or must you spend these endless nights alone among the crowd
bowing for their laughter in the dark
wiping off the custard pie that life just loves to throw
knowing when the audience goes home that you'll be alone
look at me-look at me-i'm the funny man
have you ever heard such clever stuff before?
applauded Time magazine-"he's the laughter machine"
i'm the man who makes you laugh
you killed them at the palace and you thrilled 'em in L.A.
the waiters at the deli know your schtick by heart
make us laugh-mr. funny man-be a daft-dummy funny man
everyone's an audience and lifes' a funny line
but when the curtains sinking are you thinking of the day
mother gave your dancing shoes a shine-pushed you on the stage and whispered
"kid-you'll be alright"
the spotlight hurts your eyes but stirs the sparkle that burns now in your heart
look at me-look at me-i'm the funny man
and my home is any microphone thats free
made with nerves of caffiene-i'm the laughter machine
i'm the man who makes you laugh
the monster with 1000 eyes is shouting to be fed
get your head together for the 2nd show
make us laugh-mr. funny man
autographs-mr. funny man
fear will drink your whiskey while you think of her embrace
trying to forget her letter of goodbye
stares as you repair your painted face
when did she discover that the spotlight was your armor
i ask my own reflection and i see
-the funny man is me
look at me-look at me- i'm the funny man
"Hello,folks"
it seems the joke was all on me
but that's all in the dream of the laughter machine
i'm the man who makes you laugh
ha.ha.ha.ha
Ha, Ha, Ha......

hornet's nest)
RIP- betty friedan

PACIFICIST FIGHTERS-CHORUSING
(ELECTRIC VIOLA INTRO...)
there is a war going on...
for your mind
media mavens mount surgical strikes from traperkeeper collages & on-line magazine racks...
post-production debutantes pursue u in nascar chariots-they construct ransom letters from
biblical passages-and bleed mascara into the holy water supply-there is a war going on for your
mind-concious rappers and whistle blowers get stitches made of accupuncture needles and marionette strings-there is a war going on for your mind-vice-presidents and professional wrestlers want you to believe them-the desert sky is their blue screen they super-impose
explosions-They shout at you! Pay no attention to the men behind the barbed curtain-
there is a war going on for your mind...
(flobots)
You depend on our protection-yet you feed us lies from the table-cloth
La La La La- La La La La la
everybody's going to the party-have a real good time
dancing in the desert-blowing up the sunshine
Blast off-its Party time
we don't live in a fascist nation
(and where the fuck r u )?
why do presidents fight the war?
why do we always send the poor?
B.Y.O.B.
(bring your own bombs)
System of a Down
WAR!
what is it good for?
Absolutely-nothing!
say it again-y'all
listen to me...
war-i despise
because it means the destruction-of innocent lives
war means tears to a 1000's of mother's eyes
when their son's go off and lose their lives
i said WAR!
what is it good for?
good god y'all
it ain't nothing but a heartbreaker
friend only to the
undertaker
to all mankind:
the thought of war-blows my mind...
yea oh yea oh yea o yea
good god-y'all
war can't give life-it can only take it away...
peace, love & understanding tell me....
they say we must fight to keep our freedom-
but lord-there must be a better way...
edwin starr
a guitar interlude-i dreamed there was no war-by glenn frey
search-engine it-
(There's a hole in the world tonight....)
oh they tell me there's a place over yonder
cool water running under through the burning sand
until we learn to love one-another....we will never reach the "promised land"
how can people be so blind?
(don henley-& the marvelous harmony that be the "Eagles")
the little creatures run in from the cold-back to the nest just
like the days of old-there in the safety of a mother's arms-
the warmth of ages-far away from harm-ears' ringin' from the battle fire-the tired warrior
aims a little higher-the black falcon or the little sparrow-the healing light or the "flash"
of the barrel-no one wins ...
its a war of man
(neil young)
if the storm doesn't kill me-the gov't will-
i've got to get that out of my head
its a new day today & the coffee is strong-
i finally got some rest-
(not everyone can carry the weight of the world-michael stipe
carry that weight-john lennon)
so a man's task is his challenges
i was taught to hold my head-high-
victory is mine!
have the best of what today gives:
pennsylvania was filled with promise
st. louis is a beautiful place...
galveston sounds like a song that i love-
its meaning has not been erased...
(an m.stripe tribute to jimmy webb...with poectic license from
(pabloshouse)
Generals gathered in their masses
just like witches at black mass's
evil minds that plot destruction
sorcerers of deaths construction
in the fields the bodies burning
as the war machine keeps turning...
Black Sabbath
An old woman gave us shelter
kept us hidden in the garret
then the soldiers came
she died without a whisper
there were 3 of us this morning
i'm the only 1 this evening
but i must go on
the frontiers are my prison
(lin vieux homme dans un grenier
pour la nuit nous a cache
les allemands l'ont prisent
il est mort sans surprise)
anna marley & hy zaret
Battleflag in the basinet
oil & blood on the bayonet...
the world got smaller but the bombs got bigger
holocaust on a hair-pin trigger...
aint no game so forget the score...
the crucifix aint no baseball bat
tell me what kind? of god is that
aint nothin' more godless than a war
What are we fighting for?
ed kowalczyk
BATTLE WON IS LOST
They said: "you are no longer a lad"
i nodded
They said: "enter the council lodge"
i sat
They said: "our lands are at stake "
i scowled
they said:"we are at war"
i hated
they said:"prepare red war symbols"
i painted
they said:"count coups"
i scalped
they said:"you'll see friends die"
i cringed
they said:"desperate warriors fight best"
i charged
they said:"some will be wounded"
i bled
they said:"to die is glorious"
They lied.

it's up to u not to heed the call-up-
there is a rule that i want to live for...
who knows why you have aged-
