They can talk and they can talk

June 21, 2025 


You're my where 
You’re my why
You’re my supply 
You get me high 
Times are tough 
The well is dry
But we're gonna get by 

They can talk and they can talk
They’re lying
Up and down the block
They know we got everything
We don’t have to say a thing

Their bitter lives of misery
Don’t wanna know 
What they see
When they look at you and me
It’s what they’re never gonna be

They can talk and they can talk
They’re lying
Up and down the block
They know we got everything
We don’t have to say a thing

A Kitten’s Nursery Rhyme

June 13, 2025 

In the vagaries of time 
When Al Green explores your mind 
Just a kitten’s nursery rhyme
Of a single chorus line 
Where the dancers hope to find 
Another dream of wealth and wine

All of the hippos at the zoo
Have got a pebble in their shoe
And the trickster’s happy crew
Is eating crocodile stew
The unicorns are dancing too
With a song that's just for you 

I found a refuge in your eyes
Refreshment under rainy skies
Where my stupidity is wise
You were too sweet to realize
Out of a world of better guys
You really thought I was a prize
