Heard the door shut!!
Out showing off that but ...????
Don't lie !!
It's true, I feel it in my gut
So you found your KING TUT??
He is liable to find himself with a really deep CUT..!!
DID YOU GET A  NUT..???
What the ****!!
You are nothing but loose ****!!
Lying in bed as I take that last draw off my cigarette BUT
As you walk toward me you need to  STRUT
BE READY TO GIVE ME ONE HELL OF A NUT
Need to act for me
like you did for him, a ****
Yes we are still going to ****
and ****
King Tut ain't got nothing on me
I will **** like a wild BUCK
How many times can you scream
OH GOD, OH GOD, OHHHH GODDD!!!!!!!!!!!!
Neighbors will call out the Fire Trucks

Now ***** who Is KING TUT
I looked back as the door shut!
I yelled
"Nothing like a good
GRUDGE ****"

The Ghost that haunts me

This thing I cannot see
That is always staring at me
It moves from room to room with me
Wakes me in the middle of the night
with it's constant bite
Just out of spite
Then it ducks out of site
So foolish of me not feeling any fright
I am sure not being of it's delight
Always turning my head quickly trying
to catch it in a second of sight
All I see are small images of electric light
Moving at a low level of flight
Always in the darkest cover of night
When walking through the house it gives me chills
Making me ill
Praying that it will see
the guiding light
It just want leave
Then it dawned on me
It's not a Ghost that is bothering me
What is haunting me
is my inner me
!!

What scares me.

Taking my last breath
I guess the inevitable " Death "
Not ever being able to catch my breath
Having to dance my last dance with "Death"
Leaving all my friends
Not being able to make amends
Not being able to feel the summer and winter winds
Being conscious and knowing I am close to the end
My soul not knowing where to go
It being caught in limbo
Not being on God's list
Never again being kissed
Not being missed
That sure would make me ******
Getting buried six feet under the ground
People stepping on my grave mound
Not ever hearing another sound
Not being able to fool around or to run around
Scares
Not being unaware
Not making it upstairs
Being kicked downstairs
Not ever feeling love
Being in the dark
Not ever hearing my name MARK
I guess you figured it out
"Death"
Scares me.

I should have said

As you walked away
I should have said

"I love you"

"Stay with me"

"Please don't leave"

"I am sorry I was so naïve"

I wish I would have said

"I don't want to be lonely"

"I want you to be my one and only"

"I want you to forgive me"

"It's you and me for eternity"

"I will loose my sanity"

These things
I should have said
"Humbly"
As you walked away
staring straight ahead
Leaving me hungry

Drunken stupor

Barely made it to bed
in my drunken stupor
Close to being dead
**** don't know if I made it to the right homestead
Hell for all I know it could have been someone's shed
With the bed spinning, "Lord a waterbed"??
The way I feel I think I have become the undead ..
In this drunken stupor
Passed out
Woke up
And the cutest little Redhead was laying next to me
Someone that I have wed ????
Maybe dreaming instead?
Might drink some more getting ready for what might be ahead..
No!! She turned over and looked at me and said "I thought you were Jed"
Oh ****!! I am dead !!!
I ain't Jed
I said
But you can stay right here next to me "In your bed"??
**** this girl was fine a purebred Redhead
No it could not be, a knock at the door
She looked over at me and said
"Honey" " I think it's Jed"
I jumped out of bed
grabbed my pants, shirt and boots
Naked as a J-Bird
Ran out the back door
Thinking
**** you Jed!!

I wanted that little Redhead

Pope Francis

A kind man
A man of the hungry
and of the poor
Just the man to mend this world
His teachings of kindness
With no blindness
Very aware of the madness
He is certainly not mindless
to this world lesser of kindness
He is a man that has an open mind
Regardless of mankind
The people he will always be intertwined
for all generations
of different combinations
With much patients he will rebuild nations
" LOVE" will be his donation
His vocation
easily, with no inpatients
Which he does and will show through demonstrations
Sharing his information
he has no limitations
People are his motivation
All of civilization
of different denominations
regardless of the ramifications
He will lift  this world to new elevations
of kindness
!!

Leading me on

By this beautiful woman I would call a swan
so graceful swimming in her pond
gorgeous feathers of blond
A lady from beyond
At the light of every dawn
She would be gone
Never admitting or committing
to our goings-on
But my love, she does not know is so
forgone
Whereupon I have become her pawn
everyday starting at dawn
Even though I am still so drawn
Because of her you would not believe the changes
that I have undergone
Never have I felt such a bond
with this
she will never respond
Some day she will correspond
with a letter
Then I will become a
Dear John
Signed:
Your beautiful blond
!!
