Winkle and Wankle and Wunkle
Got attacked by an angry old skunkle
Wankle and Wunkle and Winkle
We're quite overwhelmed by the stinkle
Wunkle and Winkle and Wankle
Took all of their change to the bankle
Wankle and Winkle and Wunkle
Bought a new house for their uncle
Wunkle and Wankle and Winkle
Have an auto that's purple and pinkle
Winkle and Wunkle and Wankle
Keep plenty of gas in the tankle
Wankle and Winkle and Wunkle
Dribble and pass and slam dunkle
Wunkle and Wankle and Winkle
Roller on skates at the rinkle
Winkle and Wunkle and Wankle
Often smell musty and dankle

87 days
I had 87 days
I threw it away
And fell back into
Hopeless helpless hell
I called up my sponsor
He sent over a guy
To fill me up with coffee
And take me to a meeting
I cried:
87 days
I had 87 days
He said:
Tomorrow, you’re gonna have one day
Thank God for my sponsor
Thank God I'm alive
Tomorrow I'm gonna have one day

Be where you are
Take a look around
Listen to the landscape
Cast your bucket down
Be where you are
Everything is close
The universe is everywhere
It's underneath your nose
Be where you are
Slow your body down
Matter is in motion
It's happy as a houndBe where you are
Outside is in
Listen to the music
As your molecules spin
by Richard W. Bray
It’s not a little thing
When breakfast is ready
Lunches are packed
And the house is warm
It’s not a little thing
When dishes are done
Laundry is clean
And your coat’s by the door
It’s not a little thing
Who’s sleeping in your bed
When it’s someone who supports
Everything you do
It’s not a little thing
When you go out in the world
Knowing that there’s someone
Who really loves you
By Richard W. Bray
I once met a traveler
From a foreign land
He beguiled our village
Taking about his clan
He told us thoughts were free
Like the air we breathe
And there isn't any list
Of acceptable ideas
We laughed and hollered
We slapped our knees
That man was crazy
As a basket full of bees
Without instructions
Nothing makes sense
You'll say the wrong thing
You'll surely give offense
We showed him the list
That's pinned to the wall
In every building
And meeting hall
It tells us what to think
It tells us what to say
Folks who disagree
Are quickly sent away
The list brings order
The list brings peace
The list brings love
And harmony
Without the list
Life would be insane
Who would we bless?
And who would we blame?
That kooky old traveler
Just shook his head
He sneaked away quiet
When we were still in bed

Separation is illusion
Particles connect
A million little worlds
Live inside a speck
Navigate the patternSmell the rings of Saturn
The man behind the curtain
Is in the looking glass
Butterflies cause hurricanes
The sun lives in the grass
The rain in Cucamonga
Irrigates the tundra
Love and existence
Energy and time
Consciousness and matter
Mingle dance and rhyme
Everything is everywhere
Radiance is in the air

Weak and wounded people
Let the spirits in
Play a demon's game
The demons always win
Entertain a demon
And grovel at its feet
Revel in destruction
And tales of deceit
Spin a tangled web
Stab a thousand backs
Demon grabs your virtue
And eats it like a snack
Dance with the devil
Sing his favorite song
Never ask yourself
Where it went wrong
Do all the things
A demon says to do
And never admit
The demon is you
by Richard W. Bray
When your life’s a walking shitshow
And you fill the world with lies
You don’t know why you’re empty
Saying your goodbyes
In a room where you say your name
And try to tell the truth
Don’t miss out on fellowship
Searching for proof
Alone on a computer
You muffle your cries
As you try to find your truth
In other people’s lives
Searching the whole world
Looking for your purpose
Cast your bucket down
And try to be of service
by Richard W. Bray
The quiet of the sky
The passion of the trees
The wisdom of the rocks
Educating me
Unremembered kindness
Murmurs in the breeze
The wonders of a world
That willed itself to be
Experience the grandeur
Of a world that isn’t clean
Open up your senses
Pull away from the screen
