Once owned a Ford Taurus though often it's said
a Ford on the roadside is probably dead.
I never let stuff like that go to my head
I know how it is to be down.
Ran my hand over the gun metal grey
if it was a horse we'd have galloped away
but the oil was blackened and so that fine day
I decided to take it to town.
My hasbund was known for mechanical skill
took pride in his work, though I battled his will
I knew he was right about everything, still
I wanted to have my own way.
It was his contention that I was a pain
he often made comments that seemed so inane
but still I knew he knew that I had no brain
for the technical end of the day.
He said he would change it the next Saturday
but I thought to myself there's a much better way
at Jiffy Lube, service is good and I say
that it takes them no more than ten minutes.
Five minutes to get there and five minutes in
they offered to clean up my dirty engine
I gladly accepted, and paid for the gin
or whatever that mixture had in it.
Back at the house feeling quite satisfied
a little bit nervous on account of his pride
but the Taurus can't wait, cuz what if it died
and think of the money we saved.
Well he wasn't at home, so then I could relax
Got dressed for work while rehearsing the facts
I drove up the parkway and in one hour max
the Taurus it bucked, and then caved.
Squeaked into the place where my money was earned
I called him and naturally he was concerned
we had it towed out, I felt angry and burned
now I needed a brand new transmission.
I try not to dwell on the past or roadkill
we all have our issues, they bother me still
I'm often quite stubborn, and always a pill
but once in a while now, I listen.

nothing has befallen you
that is not common to all
in our youth we make mistakes
we stumble and we fall
we treat ourselves so poorly
and often believe the lies
that we just what the others think
so it should come as no surprise
come garbage day look in the can
behold there is God's daughter
wieghed down with her past
it's baby with the bathwater!
Get yourself together friend
Here's a hand to pull you out
shower off in God's love
jump for joy, just sceam and shout
No man is your master
and God took you off the line
stains of pain or injury
will fade away with time
Ask for everything you need
expect the peace to come
to guard your heart from memories
which make you come undone
Wait sometimes for answers
Give and you can trust
that there's a Way
a LOVE for you
it's Heaven on Earth or Bust!

Do not give place to evil
nor give it any name
to allow it one more second
of dominion in your brain
so you've been down some bad roads
we've all had times of doubt
bitterness loves company
and you want to let it out
if you think you've got a demon
something troubling your thoughts
just recall a simple truth
by Jesus you;ve been bought.
You have a Superhero
living deep within your heart
His Word is the sword
and the joy of the Lord
is your strngth and it will not depart.
The head and not the tail
you have power over this putz
so exercsie your right and kick
the bugger in the nuts!

No but if it were a hot chick would you care?
Most guys don't like to be approached by men taing initiative, let alone
one's who are asking personal questions about the condition of their
souls. It's too close for comfort...too much from a stranger. And
yet...if it gets a person wondering about salvation...and that leads the
person to consider the message of "The Cross", then it would have been
worth the persercution of being reported.

Not a preaching flick but a great movie about a real man, a real hero
which is what I think most men were called to be. Heros.

Burnt-out Fireside Blues
What can you say
out there in the fog
in want of the old flame
you burn your last log.
The memories are hot
the pain you remember
beneath all the ashes
the last glowing ember
Don't bother to fan it
there's no fuel to burn
let it go out
save the ash for the urn
Turn your attention
to the wood
that needs chopping
do something worthwhile
like sweeping and mopping
Sweep out the soot
and mop up your tears
clean out the attic
let go of your fears
Put on the blues
then something upbeat
get on your warm clothes
walk out to the street
Follow it down
to the steaming creek bed
the mineral water
is something it's said
Melts away saddness
and heats up your head
without all the smoke
without all the dread.
Don't need a fire
the water is good
cleans away everything
and better than wood.
The Word is water
still living and true
all that you need
all that you do
Lie back in the current
drawn from the myre
set free without struggle
forever on fire.

Chubby Cherub you rock
and heavens in shock
you think you are bound up
but that's just a dang sock
let it all out
give it a shout
you got the depth
don't hide your clout
you are free
you are fun
and your life has just begun
Chubby Cherub
you are cool
hip of the hippiest
nobodies fool
keep your chin up
let yourself shine
if you are down
it will all pass in time!!

hey, Ontario
what's the story?
The critic in you
is in his glory
A poetic duel
you have your armour
but how can you battle
this poetic charmer?
He has no cover
he tries nothing clever
the words they are sweet
just an honest endeavor
we can only stand by
and watch all the talent
the poetic wave comes in
and with it the valiant
My favorite friend
Ontario, send
your sappybest poem
and I will ammend
I will fly out tonight
we can meet and then hide
just give us a taste
of your other side...
( I have a poetic pilot license to lie)

the lion is king
never read such a thing
jimi can croon
but this guy, he can sing
writes from the heart
you can tell he's seen action
Onario please,
have you no satisfaction?
the mind is a powerful tool
it is said
but the mouth speaks the words
and raises the dead...
the dead come to life
and the color comes back
they dance to the rhythm
and jump in the sack
sack all the others
bag em and toss em
cuz the lion is king
and this one is awesome!

| Topic: Hairy Kind of Love Redux |
Sat 11/04/06 01:21 PM |
Love is hairy
stubbly stuff
shave all week
it’s never enough
whether I shave it
or slather on Nair
whack it or hack it
will always be there
keeps coming back
as much as you crop it
waxing and chemicals
can’t even stop it
try to ignore it
the nubs comes in thick
even my eyebrows..
a uni-brow chick!
come Saturday
we don’t hardly care
let it grow out
of our underwear
Leave it alone
that unruly mop
looks like we got us
a nice bumper crop
this is my way
I ain’t gonna change
my love and my hair
But we're looking deranged
Sitting there pondering
love and love's looks
flippin’ through Cosmo
and schmaltzy old books
Beauty is bare in my favorite rag
Nary a hairy or haggard old nag
Eyebrows are separate and carefully arched
Lips are injected and and never seem parched.
Legs are butt smooth,
and so are are the pits
Love is not given to hairy chick fits
(speaking of nares,
mine is exempt
the nose and the ears
are extremely well kempt.)
Sunday mornin’
rolls around
but his razor
can’t be found
I call out his name
and wait for an answer
his ditty bag’s gone
could It be that dancer?
The one that he watches
the one he admires
could she be the one
whose igniting his fires?
I’ve seen her there waiting
the picture of grace
smooth, fair and agile
not a hair out of place
I sit on the edge of the tub
shocked and numb
look in the mirror
then look at my thumb
I eye up the woman
whose not spent a dime
on personal pleasures
as though it’s a crime
My overgrown garden
could not see the light
missed out on the sweetness
bare skin’s delight
Bought into myth
and every girls hope
that she’d still be worth something
without any soap
Rummaged around in
a drawer feeling sick
through my tears
I lay hold of
my old Lady Bic
Slipped into the shower
convinced he despised me
lathered and cried
none of this has surprised me
he'd seemed a bit distant
preoccupied,
the more I persisted
the less satisfied
i should have considered
my love is not blind
that his eyes are like sponges
and his vision will find
the best of the beauties
the cream of the crop
as sweet sugar blossoms
parade past his shop
I have an epiphony
there in the suds
now that I'm pruned
my lucious skin buds
today will be different
a vision in pinks
mandarin china doll
satin soft minx
When into my steamy retreat
disconcerted
the voice of the man
I was sure had deserted
I silence my heart
and put down the Bic
ease back the curtain
and see my St. Nick
the hairy faced heathen
battered and worn
face kind of prickly
needs to be shorn
“What is THIS?” he demands
and holds out his hand
"Why, a worn out old mach 3,
the triple edge brand!"
"‘I just CHANGED this blade
and the thing's dull and rusted!!”
“Heck if I know”
but I know I’ve been busted.
Step out of the shower
bare skin drippin wet
‘At this rate
I think I’ll buy stock in Gillette.”
I hold out my bic
and smile at old Bones
‘would you like me to light
your cigar, Mr.Jones?”
Leave him to his business
which won’t include the shave
Love is stubbly, love is soft
and hairy to the grave.

Wow. Good for you.
Life under the same roof must have become so stressful. Unfortunarltly
you had already taken so much that you didn't know quite when or how to
stop taking it. I have been there....Days turned into months or years
that you wonder just what little incident would become the last straw.
After all, if you are not being beaten, everything is just another straw
added to the whole dysfunctional mess, a tangle of memories that are not
pleasant and the makings of a mountain of misery for the kids who are
likely to carry on the pattern...The horrible cycle of abuse becomes the
norm and it's like wading around in a deep smelly sewer. ew. you try to
break out...and the guilt is nasty. What will people think...what will
God think? What to do? But you did it. Congrtulations! You were never
made to take abuse. You set yourself free. I hope that your friends and
family are supportive. God bless you as you move on...avoid his type. it
could happen again. |

This is beautiful:
"I never wanted to know
Never wanted to see
I wasted my time till time wasted me
Never wanted to go
Always wanted to stay
Cause the person I am are the parts that I play
So I play and I plan
And hope and I scheme
To the lure of a night
Filled with unfinished dreams
And I'm holding on tight
To a world gone astray
As they charge me for years
I can no longer pay
And the lights
Turn them off my friend
And the ghosts
Well just let them in
Cause in the dark
It's easier to see "
I love those lines the best.... |
