"Evil"

Exorcism his only hope

   (we all know the type)

His evil oozes up from Hell

   (through a wicked, malignant pipe).

"Fear"

In my efforts to get ahead

I find myself way behind

So far, I fear, I've lost the thread

   (or maybe I'm just purblind).

"Normal"

There's many a stop on Normal Street 

On the way to La La Land

Best find one, and take a seat

   (before things get out of hand).

"Avoiding"

I have no truck with the Devil

   (but I've been tracking his ways)

I stay above his level

   (by avoiding his gaze).

"Blood"

With such problems a people have with whiskey

You'd think they'd find a cure

Perhaps they judge it way too risky 

To manage with blood too pure.

"Revisions"

Wishing for what might have been

Redoing our decisions

Best done when we get to Heaven

   (it's God who makes revisions).

"Sucks II"

To wake up and realize

My Eden was none but a dream

REALLY SUCKS.

"Run"

Faith+courage+purpose

Sounds like a man with a plan

In other words, he's scary

Run as fast as you can.

"Stare"

I was raised in a loony bin

Please try not to stare

Just admire my sheepskin

   (and toss me a little prayer).

"Gash"

There is no future

Living in the past

Unless you must suture

Life's biggest gash.

"Dead"

Shame on you for listening 

To the girl with made-up stories 

Now the teeth are glistening

   (for dead bodies in the quarries).

November 7, 2026

"Pain"

We could really use the rain

As the farmers tell us

But umbrellas are a pain

   (so don't get overzealous).

November 7, 2026

"Quit"

Where do fruit flies come from?

The minute bananas appear

That's where females lay their eggs

   (so quit being dumb).

November 7, 2026

"End"

What I think you ought to do

And what you end up doing

Are not only leagues apart

They're not even talking.

"Sod"

Whatever roads I've traveled

Whichever paths I've trod

I made sure they were graveled

And not the unpaved sod.

"Killed"

Sometimes you're the killer 

Sometimes the killed

That makes Life a thriller

   (at least for the skilled).

October 22, 2026

"Mistakes"

The way to get good at things

Is to mess up repeatedly

When you finally come to your senses

Learn from your miscues.

"Intoxicating"

Evil is afflictive

Bound up in hating

It must be addictive

Intoxicating.

October 10, 2026

"Hard"

I was living in a dream world 

   Yes, a

      dream

         world

And a dream world is a hard place to leave.

"Fated"

Everything was going well

The storyteller somberly stated

When everything went to Hell

   (some things just seem fated).
