Cracks in the floorboards of life.

There is a vending machine across the room. No money goes in, it is fully automatic and deals one card at a time, but only one, every day. You must stand there with a ping-pong paddle and take a swipe as the card whizzes by. You really don’t know why, but you must try, every day. Some days you hit... Sign in to see full entry.

Life on the bulletin board

I pulled on a push-pin But it just fell out again FYI the news is not new By the time we see it, It is history What a mystery. For sale- Some junk I don’t need It reeks from storing it Close to where the cats peed. Notice- Employees shall remain employed Unless management needs a raise. Legal... Sign in to see full entry.

Second verese, same as the first.

Shot backwards out of a canon I actually liked it quite a bit Had a great view of where I’d been And never knew just what I’d hit. Sign in to see full entry.

Has spring sprung, a leak?

As I sat in my house at the top of the hill I let my brain look out to see what it will. It saw the clouds imprisoning the valley It saw bad weather coming down our alley. The first day of spring came and went The trees still gray, drooping and bent. The snowbanks lay all encrusted in crud No matter... Sign in to see full entry.

After listening to Johnny Winter...

As I slid under the door I looked around the room Blue was all I saw Guitar strings bending this way and that The sound of a broken heart And a soul stomped flat Picked up and poured out Of a Fender Stratocaster Liquid like the sun Even the sad song Brought a contagious smile Spreading from face to...

Did you ever wonder?

What if I was Paris Hilton? I think my dress would fit funny. My disposition would be sunny cause I would have all the money in the world. What if I was Jimmy Hoffa six feet under still trying to make an offa to the underworld from the labor union for some business they’d be doin’. What if I was Mae... Sign in to see full entry.

My obsession

Something is banging outside my front door Don’t let it in Don’t know where its been Its too scary I don’t want to see it no more. Every time I turn my head I can’t avoid its stare I’m even losing my hair From this constant dread. Every radio station Every TV show Every one wants to know What is the...

A nurse Ratchet rhyme

Jack and Jill went up to Capitol Hill to ask for a federally funded bailout. You see, Jack had recently traded his beanstalk for a heavily transportation based mutual fund. When stocks went down they lost their crown and retirements came tumbling after. A diller a dollar what makes you holler? My... Sign in to see full entry.

I know I shouldn't, but I just can't help it!

Song for octomom I know a girl with fourteen kids, she makes her parents flip their lids. People are so rude and mean, they just call her a litter poppin’ welfare queen. Chorus: Down at the clinic filled with rubes the doctor has his hands full of pipettes and test-tubes. Singin’ “oh baby spread... Sign in to see full entry.

Bite Me!

I am not an apple Or a tree But I surely Might like to be. Neither am I An Oscar Mayer Weiner Neener, neener, neener. I like it when the rain Tortures my post-adolescent brain And the hole that is in my head Is the one I stuff with bread! Bite Me! Writhing worms in my cranium Are driving me insanium...
