really, really, really, really cute

December 31, 2015

You mesmerized me
Strumming your lute
Cuz you’re really, really, really, really cute

I got an ache so
Stunning and acute
Cuz you’re really, really, really, really cute

I’d give everything I got
To taste your fruit
Cuz you’re really, really, really, really cute

I spend every minute
Planning my pursuit
Cuz you’re really, really, really, really cute

Down in Beaumont, up in Boston
Out in Butte
There ain’t another woman
Half as cute

I’m dying here
But you don’t give a hoot
You already know you’re really, really cute

Chores

December 28, 2015

social loafing


I’ve got a long list of real good reasons
For all the things I’ve done

—Willie Nelson

Chores

I didn’t do the dishes
Cuz the water’s awful mucky
And it wrinkles up my digits
And it’s really rather yucky

I did not rake the yard
Cuz I didn’t wanna blister
If you need a beast of burden
You should get my little sister

I did not clean my room
Cuz I’ll just mess it up again
It’s simply Sisyphean
Why can’t you comprehend?

Your nagging and your pleading
Make you sound like such a bore
Now fetch me up some vittles
And then finish all my chores

Sixty-Three Percent Insane

December 17, 2015

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaacrazy

She slides across
My lonely view
And there ain’t nothing
I can do
I pine and fret
My silent plea
For a love
That cannot be

I’m sixty-three
percent insane
Cuz she keeps poppin
In my brain
My mind’s a mess
Of hurt and sad
Love’s an ache
I got so bad

A friendly word
A wayward smile
Lights my soul up
For a while
Till I remember
Who I am
A peon and
A hired hand

I’m sixty-three
percent insane
Cuz she keeps poppin
In my brain
My mind’s a mess
Of hurt and sad
Love’s an ache
I got so bad
