Senile felines Too hot to hoot Wet sanitary rat in a stew Too bad I hid a boot We panic in a pew Was it a car or a cat I saw Dr. Awkward Solo gigolos O stone be not so In words drown I Lid off a daffodil Dee saw a seed Eve damned eden mad eve Did hannah see bees hannah did Do geese see god Don't nod Drab as a fool aloof as a bard Do geese see god Don't nod In words drown I

She said "How do you do?" I said "How do you do? Would you let me rub-a-dub your boog-a-loo?" She said "My boog-a-loo? Please excuse, I do not think that I can comprehend" "Do you mean ‘understand’? It's really simple when it's woman and man" She said she liked the plan, and then she took my hand We walked along the sunset to a golden land Acknowledging her woman went well with my man How do you do? How do you do? Would you let me rub-a-dub your boog-a-loo?

Hello, can I help you? Yes, I think you can I've a question to ask you And please don't think me mad Take all the time you like You needn't answer right away I'm headed straight to bed At the end of the day Are you Marlene? Are you Marlene? This might sound strange but I know you I think Are you Marlene? Are you Marlene? You look like the girl I've seen in my dreams And when I go to sleep Alone in my sheets That's when I meet My darling Marlene Are you Marlene? Are you Marlene? This might sound strange but I know you I think Are you Marlene? Are you Marlene? You look like the girl I've seen in my dreams

Orange Kamell says no thing Walks along free and clear No destination does not care Winding path through atmosphere

In the fall I saw a ribbon in the grass A stone wall and a root sprouting upward through the cracks An empty pack of cigarettes buried in the sand A pickup truck bed like a weathered old man A tree all gnarled and jagged branches aching to the sky Humble though it had defeated time In the fall I wrote a poem The pages were bare, so bare Words I put there And it became warm And I breathed the air Up walked a girl with long golden hair "So,” she said, "The future ends, look backward to the past." And I said "It's all right, we've done this all before my lass."

What a beautiful red bird! So red it's absurd Red crystal birdbath towering high above Too close to the sun, the water's too warm But a symbol of love, made to bring joy

Calling planet Zeenus, please come in Planet Zeenus, do you read us? We have been thrown off course We know not how or why Our planet left its orbit Adrift through space and time The signal is getting thin... We have been thrown off course We know not how or why Our planet left its orbit Adrift through space and time If you acknowledge please give a sign If you acknowledge please give a sign We fear we will collide We fear we will collide

Undeniable evidence of previous alien residents Used as a garden ornament Here in a far gone day, the pipes of Pan did shrill away A wanton summons from that hairy gent Wild rites of ancient nature worship Wild nights of flying saucer circle In a field we lay forgotten Sadly old and rotten Broken tractor steeple Over shoveled-out tombs A flock of foul-mouthed parrots spread the news

By the time Friday hits, my bones'll be broke They'll be givin’ me fits Eight hours in the cell, eight hours out in the yard Swingin' a ten pound sledge and cursin' at god Another eight in my bed tryin' to get some sleep I'm six hours in and I ain't closed 'em a wink I got a golden ball and chain around my neck If I'm lucky I can cash it in to pay off my debt Before I die... I got a good paycheck, a decent life So why should I complain? Just keep my head down, stay quiet I'll be dead in thirty years Or I'll be dead tomorrow night Don't give it too much thought Just keep on movin' down the line I got a golden ball and chain around my neck If I'm lucky I can cash it in to pay off my debt Before I die...

If you need me I'll be down at Lazer Ray's I might be there for a while I might be there all goddamn day Yellow, orange, purple, green, it's all the same to me Just plug me in, just plug me in Give me a dose of lazer beam Call me if you want, but call me down at Lazer Ray's I'll be at the bar drinkin' whisky and wearing shades If you need me I'll be down at Lazer Ray's I might be there for a while I might be there all goddamn day

Walking backward you can't see Where you're going Walking forward you can't see Where you've gone Backward, forward, round and round East to west and up and down Down Down Down

The silly human sank into a sea of sudsy sand Don the Dapper Dandelion sighed and shook his head About it woodland creatures used its face to tell the time It stared up from the ground, its nose was pointed at the sky Draw a circle on your hand A square upon your foot Draw a circle on the ground And walk inside it now Sink down into moistened earth Slowly fade away Toes, then legs, then arms, then head Tilt back to show your face In the lawn, the circle drawn You stare up at the sky A clock, your nose, and shadow shows Upon your face the time The dandelion sighed... Draw a little picture to pass the time There's no harm in trying Watch the clock, let seconds tock They lay there like they're dying They move too fast they never stop They lay there like they're dying The dandelion sighed...
