Bushleaguer

How does he do it? How do they do it? Uncanny and immutable.This is such a happening tailpipe of a party.Like sugar, the guests are so refined, (look like melting mice) A confidence man, but why so beleagued?He’s not a leader, he’s a Texas leaguerSwinging for the fence, got lucky with a strikeDrilling for fear, […]


Soon Forget

Sorry is the fool who trades his soul for a CorvetteThinks he’ll get the girl, he’ll only get the mechanicWhat’s missing? He’s living a day he’ll soon forget That’s one more time around, the sun is going downThe moon is out, but he’s drunk and shouting, putting people downHe’s pissing, he’s living a day he’ll […]
