America’s Energy
I look the part
Egyptian whore
Whose eyes
Are rimmed in kohl.
With aching back
And worn pick axe
I mine Kentucky coal.
It may be true
I raped the earth
To earn my master's gold.
I did it all
To earn my bread-
On the pitch for the rich, I goaled.
You label me a Gangster
Like I "chose" this destiny
But the O.G.
(Original Gangster)
To fear
Is America's "Inner G."
The Isle of Piscaboom
There isn't a soul on Piscaboom,
Their sails are set, Come about the boom!
They're leaving now from certain tomb,
On the isle of Piscaboom.
Upon the ship I hold my son,
Across the aisle I watch the sun,
Drop o'er the paths where we did run,
On the isle of Piscaboom.
Across the water fair we cried,
Watched the beach where others died,
Ash and smoke their faces dyed,
On the isle of Piscaboom.
Ernest the Earnest Man
Ernest was an earnest man,
Who knew the difference
Between then and than.
Well Suited for the popery,
But settled for some potpourri.
He thew some in a decorative bowl,
When through the door he
Expected company to flow.
He placed his specs upon his nose,
To search out places
Specks of dust might grow.
He built his house on a stake of land,
And sat down to a steak dinner, fork in hand.
Yellow Bears
"They're over there."
"Where?"
"Over there -see my stare?
It's a pair of yellow bears,
By the pears, past the stairs.
You know the stairs so full of wear and stripped of paint that now they're bare?"
"No I don't, I do not care."
"Well you're due to change your mind.
For I'm sure you'll never find
That from shore to sea
No eye has seen
What I have just described."
Bow
"Is that a Bow"
"Yes."
"What a lovely bow, but should it not be on a ship?"
"Well that's because i'm making a bow out of a bow, a bow bow if you will."
"Well what is it for."
"Well it can also turn into a bow and shoot arrows."
"Really, and will you present it?"
"Yes, and after I present I will take a bow with my bow bow and make a bow."
