Bullied at school
When am I gonna rule?
My salvation lies in rock and roll
My friend gives me a record to fill my soul
I play it backwards and get instructions
To get even with this corruption
It works great
But the demon released by this record doesn't want to wait
He loves this hate
There is no debate
He wants me to help him kill
His music my thrill
I say no
You gotta go
But he gets out with a little help
From my friend who is a welp
At the high school dance
He puts them in a trance
Then shoots lightning out of his guitar
Killing numerous teens and one teacher near and far
Then he is played on the radio
I know what I have to do
Put a radio in the back of a police car
Taunt him to come get me and drive far
I will take him out
Before he hits the river he will shout
Then I will send him away forever
From a record I shouldn't have ever played
So be careful with your records
And don't ever play them backwards

Trick or Treat is a movie from 1986. I just got it yesterday from Ebay. It is about a bullied teen who gets help from a dead rocker in dealing with bullies. Ozzy Ozborne and Gene Simmons are in this movie.

Bought some snails today
Two to be exact
I asked
What about those smaller skinny ones
How much are those?
Those are for free
Why?
Because they produce asexually
And really multiply
I said I guess I'll stay away from the free snails
Then I said where are the ferrets?
We no longer carry ferrets, but the rest are over there at the end of that aisle
So I watched the guinea pigs and hamsters
One was trying desparately to get out
He wasn't happy
He wanted to be free
Not in a zoo for people to stare at him and make him feel weird inside
Animals have feeling too and most should not be in cages
Especially chimps
I really feel sorry for gorillas too

About this poem:
I went to Petsmart to get two snails to replace the ones that had died recently. I bought them on Palm Sunday. They lived a little over four months. The woman said I should feed them algae tablets daily and they should live longer. We'll see what happens.

I promise to always be true
To never comment on your physical appearance in a negative way
To always leave Sunday as our day together without work
To give you love every day for the rest of our lives
To support your dreams whatever they may be
To be nice to your family and bite my lip
To not complain about work and my lousy boss and coworkers
To keep myself fit and smelling good
To shave every day so I don't hurt you with my stubble
I will get a good paying job so you can avoid all that working
To go clothes shopping with you and act like I'm having a good time
To attend church every Sunday morning
And act like I'm having a good time
I promise to never cheat on you
This includes trolling dating sites on the internet and any porn
I will leave my cellphone off when I am with you
I will watch movies you like as well
I will also help out with chores

Just some random thing that came to mind what I think a woman would want in a marriage.

He we are
In Wisconsin
How did we get here?
Why are we here?
We could have stayed in Europe
Or if you go back to Adam and Eve
We could have stayed in Africa
Or is it Iraq?
Who knows for sure
The earliest people in what is now called Wisconsin
Came around 15,000 years ago or so
They must have been trying to improve their lives
Maybe a lot of others I have seen lately popping up
Are trying to improve their lives too
The early ones probably came for better game
The later ones now came for better pay
Who can blame them
Maybe it is just our nature to go somewhere else
When will we start living in outer space or on other planets
Mars would work
Maybe the Moon

About this poem:
We as a species are always moving around this planet to better places. We seem to like it warm as the number of Eskimos is far less than the people living near the equator.

America the beautiful
Yeah
Let me introduce yall to the flare side
Julie was a loving wife
Had her husbands name on her neck
Death took him away
But a new man came to play
He went to jail
Something about drugs and a bar brawl
Now will it be 2016 or 2020 when she will have him all?
Dodododododo
Ha!
Then there was Bob
Been gone since Thanksgiving of 14
He was a fun guy to be around
You know what I mean?
But he loved smoking the jay
His attendance record was too spotty
That's what the management had to say
So after a year of good work they made him go away
His girlfriend got a job right in the department he used to work
He decided to be a jerk
I'll stay home for a year while she works
He had it all figured out
Then she met another guy at work
And then she moved out
This is what can happen for those who chose to walk on the flare side
dodododododododo
Ha!
Michael had everything going for him
A good wife a good life
A baby boy on the way any day
But he was worried he couldn't get hired on
And his good wife was in jail
So he missed a lot of work and caught hell
From the management
So he applied for another job and got an interview
But HR wouldn't give him a day to go
So he split that day back in January
I still don't know where he ended up
And this is how it is on the flare side

Author: Mama Harper (Mama's Family: Season 4
Once upon a time
There lived two evil children
They went into the woods looking for mischief
And they found it
A house made out of candy!
So the two thieving kids started eating the roof
The nice old lady who lived inside heard the commotion
She did the only nice thing she could do
She threw the two brats into her oven and made gingerbread men
She then took them to the fair and won a blue ribbon
The end

About this poem:
I heard this story told on Mama's Family Season 4. The one where Mama has to babysit a mean kid. It is a funny episode as this kid ties mama up, fills the bathroom with shaving lather, draws on her table clothe, and many other pranks.

I have celebrated the 4th of July with different fireworks
I have even celebrated using Diet Coke and Mentos
I have lighted firecrackers
Fountains and fireworks that fly
I have used sparklers, snaps, and snakes
But the tissue paper hot air balloon is my favorite
It cost me only five dollars and lasted at least five minutes
It needs have calm winds or the paper will catch on fire
You need to have two people to light the balloon
One using a long plastic lighter to prevent burning fingers
One to hold the balloon till it has enough hot air to fly
And then slowly but steadily it climbs up, up, and up into the sky
Pretty inspirational

Here there is no privacy
Here there is no safety
Here there is pain
Here there is fear
The Noise, The Noise, the Noise!
Clang, Clang!
Bang! Bang!
Shouting and Shouting
Frustration
My head is on fire with rage
My body is on fire with discomfort
I feel it in my feet
I feel it in my hands
My eyes seeing the evil
My soul feeling like it's rotting inside of me
Yeah
It really feels like a prison at work

I will work 56 hours this week
Before taxes I will make about 880 dollars
Sound like a lot
And it is
But
What is the dollar worth today compared to 1900?
It takes 21 dollars today to equal one dollars value in 1900
So the real wage is about 42 dollars
But what about taxes too?
There weren't any in 1900
Now after paying 33% on overtime and about 21% on regular wages
Take that 42 dollars and you get 31.50
What inventions existed in 1900?
No air conditioning
No cable or cell phones
Not even cars
So you take all the money it takes to afford those luxuries
What do you have left?
At the end of the day it doesn't add up
All I know is health critics were warning people in 1900
Don't eat too much steak!
I can't remember the last time I had steak!

About this poem:
Listening to Ron Paul and the shrinking value of the US dollar. We really are working harder and harder for less and less. I would buy a cell phone, but I like to eat!

Where did I put that?
Where are my keys?
Where is my watch?
I had it just a minute ago!
I checked the bathroom
Nothing!
I checked the bedroom
Nothing!
So where is it!
I have 10 minutes and then I have to go to work
Oh there it is!
Thank God!
I am so relieved!

We the peep hole
In order to form a more perfect camera
Establish injustice
Insure domestic uncertainty
Provide for the common offense
Promote the general welfare state
Secure the curse of slavery to ourselves
And our posterity
Do ordain and establish this drone state
For the United States of America
For which it will fall
One nation under the dollar
With injustice for all

When I'm at work
I close my eyes
When I feel pain
From other guys
Whenever I want to
All I have to do is daydream
Day dream dream dream
Dream dream
I can make her mine
Kiss her lips of wine
Any time night or day
Only trouble is
Gee wiz
I'm dreaming my life away
Dream dream day dream
