Oh I hate that my bed has grown cold
I know it misses me so
But it always gives me issues
This morning, a stubbed toe
I screamed and cursed
At that bed and my pain
Our relationship now
Will never be the same

I said as I watched him go
And as I watched he smiled
And with a wink of his eye
He was on the train.

I wrote it while standing on my head
And juggling plates with my feet
Tossing and twirling them in a manner quite neat
Not one plate did drop or break
A miracle related to fate,
Or maye just darned good luck,

But a truck sounds like fun,
and so does shooting a really big gun,
but if I did,
I would have to bid
for my freedom,
for me with a gun, though it may be fun,
would end in death
of a man named Seth.
Poor Seth, you see,
sells crystal meth,
and he won't give me any more,
mostly because he's a really big bore,
which is why I want a twelve bore,
and then I can show him death's door,
steal all his meths
and much, much more.

I suspect he always knew
By the little looks I'd catch
As he looked my way
On those days so blue
He kept coming around
Day after day and soon months
His presences grew on me
Like turned to love for us
in leaps and bounds
There is no getting away
from me now
We're stuck with each other
Until both of us are in the ground

Petals should be placed beneath your feet to grace.
Someone to be cherished, a princess crowned.
Not one, who should have another disgrace.
To celebrate we will place a blanket on the ground.
Our vows of friendship, we will never misplace.

So we bought a goldfish
Our kids said stop trying
We're grown, you got your wish
No more pretend pets
We catch fish, they're for frying
Get another dog and go for a run

You have worked all your life for a pittance,
But now you're retired and your time is your own
So kick off your shoes and join in the dance.

I, however, want to give you a roadmap.

Come with me, come here,
We'll fly away soon,
Give me your hand,
And a hug
Then settle on my rug
Hang on tight, tuck arms and legs in,
Are you ready to take off?
Let's go for a spin!
The altitude's no problem,
We've plenty of air,
As you can clearly tell
by the wind in your hair.
We'll swoop and soar
Above earth and its cares -
Tedious, boring,
Gloomy and drear!
Before landing quite safely
Without anyone near
To question or bother us,
With stupid questions unkind,
Such as
"What are you doing!"
or
"Have you lost your mind!?"
The answer to those
Should be plain and concise,
No minds have been lost,
If the askers fume and frown,
We don't give a toss!
So come with me, my darling
Come with me, come near,
We'll leave earth behind,

I feel like such a useless rabble,
so off I'll go, to my house of rubble,
and drink away all my trouble.
A bottle of whisky

cure the shitsy,

Or maybe vodka,
for my useless bodka.
Perhaps some wine,
so I can whine?
Rum for my bum!
