“Lizard Skin Shoes”
Like any good gardener,
Before going inside,
I remove muddy shoes,
And leave them outside
Overnight they will stay,
All alone in the dark,
Outside by the door,
Old tennies will park.
But by morning I wonder,
What happened last night?
Inside of my shoes,
In the dark, without light. Continue reading “Lizard Skin Shoes”
“Bottomless Bank”
She looks at me warmly,
With her sweet baby blues,
And I hand her some cash,
And she buys some new shoes.
I look like her dad,
But I feel kind of blank,
As I hand her more money,
I’m becoming her bank.
I’m her ATM Dad,
I’m her angel investor,
I’m her blank kind of check,
It’s MY credit I hand her. Continue reading “I am my Daughter’s Bank”
“Feed Me”
There’s a battle raging down the hall,
Two wolves fight and one will fall.
This battle is for – your company soul,
The winning wolf will take control.
One wolf is evil, he’s filled with pride,
His fangs are poised – not on your side,
He’s jealous, greedy, manipulative too,
He’s arrogant and sneaky, while working for you. Continue reading “Wolves at the Office”
“Happy Sunset”
If I were to tell you,
Your life will fall short,
Of the dreams that you have,
In this happy report. Continue reading “it’s a Scientific Fact”
“Trucking Excitement”
I don’t feel excited,
About living much more.
I’m not suicidal,
But my life’s such a bore. Continue reading “I’m Not Suicidal, But…”
“Money Trees”
Money doesn’t grow on trees – I said,
And my son looked so confused.
“What does that mean?” he said to me,
That’s when I blew my fuse. Continue reading “Money Doesn’t Grow on me”
“Available Angel”
Oh they’re sitting around,
Just looking for work,
They’re unemployed angels,
And they’re starting to lurk.
They’ll lurk in your hallways,
When bedtime arrives,
They’ll loiter in the back seat,
On long boring drives. Continue reading “Unemployed Angels”
“What a Funderful World”
I am confused by the chaos,
Of solitude’s appeal,
I’m frightened by the terror
of retreating’s good feel.
I just want to escape,
But this we both know,
That voice is correct,
There is no place to go! Continue reading “Escape Where I’m at”
“Just Had a Red Dream”
It’s the road well travelled,
That everybody knows,
It’s what most people take,
Since they know where it goes.
It’s a popular road,
But I can’t comprehend it,
Why so many still use it,
I don’t recommend it.
“Stone Cold Smile”
The guy is amazing,
A best-selling poet,
He’s popular and –
Of course we all know it!
We’re impressed by his style,
Of rhyming a lot,
But what the guy says,
Just doesn’t mean squat!
“Possumized”
If you’re playing life safe,
Like a faking-dead possum,
Then average is fine,
But you’ll never be awesome.
“Pushin’ up Tulips”
He’s committed a crime,
And though nobody died,
For the wreckage he leaves,
You hope he’ll be tried.
It seems that too often,
He hurts with his furry,
He’s causes you pain,
Then leaves in a hurry. Continue reading “Hit and Run Friend”
