Bathroom Tune

Bathroom Tune

I have to use the bathroom
I have to go pee
I have to use the bathroom
so please excuse me
Mama always said I should say excuse me
when I need to use the bathroom
to go take a pee

using our manners is good for you and me
That's the way we all really need to be
like
please excuse me
if it's not a pee
cause when it's number two
I go straight for the loo
to do the do
da do do dooo!

And people wonder why I don't have children

Shattered Glass

2009-10-08T18:54:00.001-04:00

RAINDROPS AND SHATTERED GLASS

Raindrops and shattered glass
Are the tools I use
to see your ass

all the things
You are to me
and the way I wish
things could be

I hear the stories of your adventures so great
but when I need your ass you're always late

What I hear and what I see
do very little to comfort me
Can't you see
the things I see
Which are destroying us ...
YOU and ME
... WE!!
To the Nth degree

Shattered glass
Sparklin' so bright
Glittering and dancing into the night
Look on the surface
and things look alright
but
Gaze into the fragments
and
You'll feel the fright

Tweedle Dee Dee
by CuzzoBuzzo

Tweedle Dee Dee and Doop Dee Do
My Weed man didn't come through
what the hell am I gonna do
Tweedle Dee Dee and Doop Dee Do

His lazy ass is up by noon
with absolutely nothin' to do
video games and eating food
Tweedle Dee Dee and Doop Dee Doo
I really feel like dog do do

Look at that shit It's damn near two
This guy's a ghost who can't say Boo
I know exactly what I'll do
Tweedle Dee Dee and Doop Dee Doo

I tried that fool all through the night
and we both know that shit ain't right,
so - - - I - - -
FIRED HIS ASS
and now I'm tight
Good Goobily Goop
I NEED A LIGHT !!

My way

2009-01-13T16:19:00.001-05:00

I've done things the right way and I've done things the wrong way.
I've done things this way and that way
Do you want to know something?
Shit always seems to turn out the same damn way
Even when I've done it your way
So these days I just say, "Fuck it!
I'll do it MY WAY."

We will never know
what plagued their soul
The demons of the mind
haunting them so

Times we thought were trivial
to them were simply horrible
We saw only a smile but all the while
they slipped deeper down that hole

We question our own sanity
wondering why we could not see
the despair they felt, their misery
that which caused this tragedy

There are things in life
we will never know
accept that fact then let it go
the only comfort I can see
is now finally their soul is free

Virtual Social Studies

VIRTUAL SOCIAL STUDIES

It's about that time I find myself online
then “Bleep”
It looks like you want to be my friend
It's been quite awhile
and you just found my profile
wrote a message and then you hit send

now I can't remember that day in December
and I damn sure don't remember grade one
I recall you were cool
and we behaved like young fools
but perhaps we have had all our fun

I don't know what to say
except, “have a nice day!”
and I hope that your family is good
I feel a little shameful
but the truth can be painful
and I would say something else if I could

There's a reason we don't hang
like I always use slang
and you speak like the dude on the news
I drink a little drink and I smoke a little smoke
and you think that I have the blues

Some friendships don't last
they fade like the past
I wish that this wasn't the case
but if not for this link
I honestly don't think
That I'd even remember your face

much time has gone by
and I'm not the same guy
so let's act like the Hollywood bunch
You can say this to me
and I'll just agree
that someday we need to do lunch.

Crabs in a bucket

2008-07-23T04:12:00.004-04:00

Everyone wants to have their own cake
and eat that bitch up too
They really don't give a rusty shit
about who they'll have to screw
Like two crabs in a bucket
you know what they're gonna do
only one crab makes it out
because the other one is food

Today or Tomorrow

2008-06-08T08:12:00.002-04:00

Live every single day
like it may be your last
not thinking about the future
or dwelling on the past

If you feel that you are blue
and live a life of sorrow
you could live a hundred years
and you'll never reach tomorrow

think only of today
it's the only day you're in
and soon enough you will find
your mouth will form a grin

Stand

2008-04-19T13:13:00.003-04:00

When you wake in the morning
placing your feet on the ground
to stand
Remember you stood for something
Not to just follow the herd blindly
sometimes you must stand with purpose
and others will stand with you because
they know you stand for something

Swinger's Bar

This was brought on by a Windsor Star article about the possibility of a swinger's bar opening in the cities downtown core. The people woke their asses up and started writing all kinds of complaints. None of whom were bitching about "Quality of service" issues. They just didn't want the business in "Our" city. They could live their entire lives with this business making it's little chunk of change and it wouldn't inpact thier world in the least. As far as these people are concerned, If they don't want it nobody should.

These kind of people make me sad.

This poem is a rant about over regulation by the government. The impetus for writing this at the time was a ban on people owning a Pitt Bull. Canine genocide.

One day I was having a helluva day trying to be by myself. The phone was constantly ringing, so I took that bad boy off the hook. Then my door started getting pounded on and my email alert was "bingin" like crazy. That was it!
It had to be written.

This poem was inspired by a famous actor/ess. The name of the individual is not important however, The contradiction between what is said and done, is.
This person talked so much shit I couldn't stand it anymore. "Save the Earth, Help the poor", yada, yada,yada, so on and so on.
Whenever I see this person candidly captured on television, They only seem to be helping themselves.

FOOD FOR YOU, ME AND E.T. TOO

Sometimes I find this world utterly confusing
if it wasn't so damn frustrating
it would probably be amusing
We spend billions of dollars
to search out in space
desperately looking
for an alien race
when there are humans on this planet
that can't get along
so what if these aliens
look like King Kong
We don't know what these creatures might like to eat
humans to them might be a nice tasty treat
they'd gobble us up as we squabble with each other
Eatin' up your cousins,
your sisters and your brothers
Maybe we deserve such a horrible fate
There's not a creature on this planet
that we haven't ate
Man has a history of doing shit first
We brag about the good
and we cover up the worst
we poisoned the water
when we need it to live
we hoard all our money
when there's so much to give
“teach a man to fish
and he'll eat every day”
but when the fish are all dead
then what do you say
“I'm sorry there's no fish
for your ass to eat
but look on the bright side
you're not alien meat?”

I did this poem after news reports about recruiters ramping up recruiting efforts in order to take advantage of the poor economy. They expect enrollment levels to start increasing as employment opportunities dry up in the U.S..

UPDATE: OCT. 21, 2008
I've created a video version of this poem.
