Song Lyrics For Sammy With The Quire Girls ... Meter Be Damned

_______________________________________________________________________________________________

Sidecar Sammy
 with Annie behind the wheel
barreled down the road
'til her tires peeled
and so did he

She would tell him
when and where to wait
then give him
an expiration date
to set him free
 
Sidecar Sammy
sidetracked, sad, but saucy
didn't mind the
being bossy
of a hot SHE
 
Sidecar Sammy
 with Sammy behind the wheel
pulling double duty
until another cutie
gave him a feel
pretending to be real
 
Pretending to be real
(as far as Sammy could see)
was what he preferred
to reality
 
It was all
a matter of context
until the girl said
NEXT

A Re-Incarnation Joke About Long-Time Married Women

________________________________________________________________________________________________

Why do so many
of these women
get re-incarnated
as elevator operators
or demolition experts?
 
Because,
regarding their husbands,
 they knew how to push
his buttons
and make him explode

Twisting With The Whim

By twisting life to follow
accidental and devious paths,
one might perhaps
find some use
for accidental and devious

STEVE BEZOS' Piggy Bank Can Solve The Homeless Problem

_______________________________________________________________________________________________

AMAZON
is the death knell
of the big box store

Steve Bezos' s profits
from Amazon
are one dime
every one-millionth
of a second

The death knell
of the big box store
is the death knell
of the shopping mall

And the landscape 
of America
is fraught with these
architectured
anomaliess

Each and every
cob-webbed mall
is a vast ghost town
housing nothing
but empty storefronts

There are as many
of those dead store fronts
as there are
homeless people
in the fruited plains
and severed cities
of
THE GREATEST COUNTRY
ON EARTH
 
Unless,
we have already
exported that title
to China
or India
 
Therefore, 
Mr. Bezos,
the solution
to housing the homeless
is in the palm of your hands
!!!
 
Convert all of those
cob-webbed
shopping malls
and ghostly storefronts
to residences
for the homeless
 
Whether you own 
the properties
the malls occupy
is of little or no concern
 
You have much too much
wealth and power
for anyone
to dispute
your actions
 
And these newly-housed
homeless individuals
or families
will have laws to abide by:
 
They may not ever leave
their homes
unless it is to picnic
in the parking lots
that double
(or triple)
the size
of 
the malls
 
Which will then shed
their cob-webs
while providing
a roof over the heads
of those
severely lacking
in the frequency
of sleeping under a roof
 
At the same time,
all the other roads
and streets
and communities
of our fruited plains
and severed cities
will no longer
be peopled
with homeless vagrants
to uglify them.
