Asphaltus
11-24-15

Commanded to play The Wall in its entirety
Side two first
An inspiration for my Nehemiah
And last night's insatiable thirst
I'm getting better at this game for my naphtha
Colorless and intermediate for Asphaltus  of Asphaltite
And another wonderful night for gasoline and benzene
Another illuminating yielded light
As from a sky of blue
I forgot what I was going to do
O, hey you
It's part of the fun in my slideshow
Don't give in without a fight
Thinking not myself worthy
To come to you and ask for help
That's only my pride on its opposite side
Getting the ticket to ride....




"Thank You For Everything"
11-24-15

Yes I blew it
Such is to be expected
Be willing to fail as all have suspected
For it was only fantasy
And they that were sent returning
Were as well in the furnace but not burning
Going again to Nain
Behold there was a dead man carried out
And I carry him around with me
Wherever I might roam
For plans forgotten
And another six packs to my name
Nigh to the gate of the city bordered by Harrison
For another song of praise such as this
Where music is a vital factor for well being and even bliss
Can you help me!





Apocryphal Again
11-24-15

Apocryphal, erroneous and fictitious
Of questionable authenticity
And another crazy dream of learning to fly all over again
Lenient and clement merciful and mild
So far we have been very fortunate with the sunshine
To touch ones bier and to say, "I am here!"
Once called a prophet and now a seer
They that bare him stood still
O, weep not
O, wayward woman of weal and woe
Stay upright and sleep not
And stay awake so that roots deeper might grow
Ezra the scribe goes before them by the fountain gate
We forget how to hate
For chiefs of singers and songs of praise....
