No need to be exotic
Or even erotic
Much less neurotic
The system knows perfectly well
how to operate
masticate, disgesterate,
constipate, defecate,
cogitate and empathate
calculate and masturbate
lungs inflate and then deflate
circulate and flatulate
speculate and urinate
flagellate and obstreperate
meditate and medicate

Nifong

2008-01-18T18:10:00.000-08:00

A prosecutor named Mike Nifong
Found himself hoist by his own Thai thong
He called the Duke lacrossers apes
And made other nasty japes
But it turns out he had those guys wrong.

I like her hands

2008-01-05T10:19:00.001-08:00

I like her hands
I like her nose
I like her legs
I like her toes
I like her butt
I like her bodice
I lover her all over
My domestic goddess

Iraq

2006-12-30T09:03:00.000-08:00

The Iraqi freedom fi..., um, insurgents have got some nerve
To resist pacification with such unstinting verve.
Some believe in violence and are going to flaunt it.
Can we force peace on folks who really don't want it?

We're trying to give them democracy
By establishing an approved aristocracy.
Do we really think that through military scrimage
That we'll manage to remake Iraq in our image?

If the Trix bunny dressed out in desert camo khakis,
We might say, "Silly Rabbit, Iraq is for the Iraqis."
Preach me not about honor and all that jive.
Support our troops: bring them home alive.

War on What?

2006-12-02T16:10:00.000-08:00

It seems to me to be in error
To think that we can make war on terror.
Terror is a tactic used in war,
So a war on terror is fighting fahr with fahr.
Seems like that could make an awful mess.
Seems like we'll get more terror, not less.

Every day in every way
I'm more full of it than yesterday
But that's okay
Cause I like myself anyway.

2006-11-16T16:20:00.001-08:00

Motion is all that there is
All there is is motion
I'm a wavelet on the face of the deep
A ripple on the ocean

Vegetarian Counting

2006-11-16T16:16:00.000-08:00

Eating meat is death for one
First you're here, then you're gone

Eating meat is death times two
First it kills the animal,
Then it kills you.

Eating meat is death times three
First it kills the animal
Then it kills me
Then it kills us all environmentally

Eating meat is death times four
Animal, diner, butcher, more

Eating meat is death times five
Nobody will be left alive

Eating meat is death...

True?

2006-10-22T12:54:00.001-07:00

Whether it's false or whether it's true
Greatly depends on my point of view.

False or True?

2006-10-17T19:06:00.001-07:00

Whether it's false or whether it's true
Greatly depends on one's point of view

Noise

2006-10-09T16:55:00.000-07:00

Did the tree in falling make a sound
When there was no one to hear around?

Only as much as the whippoorwill's call
Only as much as the acorn's fall
Only as much as the kids at the mall

Dance

2006-10-07T09:16:00.000-07:00

Dance with the mystery
Ponder your history
What does it mean?
All of it green?

Green is the money
Green is the world
Blue is not funny
Pink is the girl

When the dance ends,
Who will take you home?
Will you be a friend?
Will you be alone?

When you are alone, you can still see your neighbor
Even with companions, you're alone in your labor

(You've heard this part before:)
If you sprinkle
   when you tinkle,
Please be neat
   and wipe the seat.

(Here's the part you haven't heard:)
If you don't, here's what you get:
Next time you need a spot to set,
Every one will be wet.

Admire... Desire (Cultural Lessons)

2006-09-17T09:36:00.000-07:00


Admire honesty
Desire a good deal
   If you can get it for free
   That's ideal
   After all, it's a steal

Admire generosity
Desire a good rate of return
  See how much you can urn
  During your sojourn
  Know what I mean, Verne?

Admire contentment
Desire the new and improved widget
  In the other guy's digits

Admire engagement
Desire escape
  From the pressure to always do better
  To save money more
  Between shopping sprees at the nearest mall-store.

Admire commitment
Desire freedom
  To fly free like a bird
  Not a care in the world
  No one in the way
  To stifle your day

Admire compassion
Desire justice --
  *My* rights and *my* dues
  What's owed to me by all of youse

Admire giving
Desire getting
  Chase the pleasure, flee the pain
  Tally up all your losses and gains
  And leave it to the next guy

People polarize

2006-09-15T14:28:00.000-07:00

People polarize
We accuse each other of telling lies
We fight for the right until somebody dies
Without regard for a baby's cries
We struggle and strive to win the prize
Of persuading others to pretend we're wise
Hiding our greed and fear behind a disguise
And we all wind up disenfranchised
So that all of life is a bad surprise
When people polarize
It's hell

But sometimes...
People harmonize
Working together in the grand enterprise
Of helping everyone to rise
From the suffering of endless tears and sighs
To lift our smiles and brighten our eyes
When we realize that we all comprise
Part of the same big communal hive
That will die if we let ourselves sterilize
The beautiful world we could prioritize
When people harmonize
It's heaven

Here we go with tanks and guns.
Look at 'em scatter -- they're on the run.
We're firing shells and bombs by the millions.
Oops! We're hitting lots of civilians.

Still the rockets continue to fall
I guess we'll have to kill 'em all.
If we kill all of them and they kill all of us,
No one will be left to make a fuss.

I fired a rocket in the air.
It fell to earth just over there.
Look, here they come with tanks and guns.
Saddle up, boys, it's time to run.
