Dastard (No Longer)
12-30-15

Of dastard malicious
A spicy plate decadent and delicious
Unspoken, our true token
I was as a lamb brought to the slaughter
Some things aren't meant to be
In indemnity since Lydda was near Joppa
And the disciples knew that Peter was there
Life is hard but God is fair
Cornelius sends for Peter
The gospel goes to the Gentiles
Grinding at the mill for textiles
Four bags to wash when I return
Inferred by statements vain at last
Let us destroy the tree with the fruit
I need another at the chime of six...




As Natural As Fact
12-30-15

At about a quarter till seven
My cat senses supernatural activity
As natural as fact
Can be as Aeneas is healed
But still we seek the cure-all
In priorities reshuffled
In a deck of cards with two extra jokers
And I know not that they devise devices
O, Grimalkin
Always by my side
My joy and pride
Sit back and enjoy the ride
Another merle roosts for the ego that boosts.....





Second Hour
12-30-15

Cloudland into dreamland turns
The Sun comes up and we all learn
But O, Lord of hosts that judges righteously
Therefore men of Anathoth that seek thy life
Saying, prophesy
And we choose not to hear it
And never again fear it
Yes, the rhythm of the plan
Returning to my glad bags and fop rags
Seeing it darker than ebony
Asking for the fire burning in my heart again
Lodging with Simon the tanner
With no need for a monthly planner
First it was the ledger
Now it's the bench
Stories to tell
Ambiguous....
