O fairest of all creation, last and best
Of all God’s works, creature in whom excelled
Whatever can to sight or thought be formed
—John Milton, Paradise Lost
the sunshine in your laughter
the poetry in your style
the wiggle in your swagger
the music in your smile
your wicked sense of humor
your feet, your face, your hair
the fire in your anger
the fancy in your flare
the tender in your strength
the lovely in your heart
you’re a trillion times more
than the sum of your parts
every thing about you
every little part
knocks me on my bootie
you’re my favorite work of art

Every time he gives a speech
He fills up the hall
Bernie makes my skin crawl
Always trying to help the people
Such incredible gall
Bernie makes my skin crawl
He doesn’t bow down
When the billionaires call
Bernie makes my skin crawl
Trying to fix the country
With his commie cabal
Bernie makes my skin crawl
I’m paid to tell lies
And make heroes look small
Bernie makes my skin crawl

We’re good together
It’s ready to start
Will I jump over the moon
Or get kicked in the heart?
I hear a song playing
For me and for you
Is it Over the Rainbow?
Or Little Boy Blue?
I’m a little bit timid
If you’ll pardon my scars
Does this stairway go down
Or straight to the stars
I’ve been here before
And it didn’t end well
Will you be my salvation
Or my ticket to hell?
By Richard W. Bray

Yeah, I did your girlfriend
But it wasn’t my fault
If you weren’t home early
We wouldn’t have gotten caught
Yeah, I crashed your car
But why you blaming me?
You locked your front door
But you didn’t hide your keys
I said, “I’ll always love you
You’re the only one I see”
I was loyal for a week
Which is pretty good for me
Everywhere I go
All the people I meet
They make do bad things
I steal, lie and cheat
It’s a crazy crooked world
And everyone is rotten
Doesn’t matter what you do
It will soon be forgotten

You gave me your love
And I threw it down a drain
You should have paid attention
Never said I was sane
Tried to clear out my head
With a pound of cocaine
And a gallon of whiskey
Never said I was sane
I held up an army
Left a pretty big stain
They locked me up for good
Never said I was sane
They gave me some tests
To study my brain
I’m a wee bit psychotic
Never said I was sane
They got me breaking rocks
On a ball and chain
I’m just glad to stay busy
Never said I was sane
