The Lursty Little Leprechaun

That Lursty little Leprechaun's
a con that can't control

his rabidly avid appetite

that is like a troll's

his hunger's not for food or liquor

nor is it for gold

his bridge is in his britches

and he's vicious with the toll

every time he meets a gal

his morals surely sink

he's quite enticing with his charm

and conquers with a wink

To think without the mind

he's definitely adept

so many a women wept

when he left 'em where they slept

he copes 'bout as earnest

as a poker in the furnace

and thats what he will do

'til it's broken or he burns it

that Lursty little leprechaun's

a con that can't control

his habit like a rabbit

he's the ravisher of holes

if he found one in a tree

it probably won't be safe

just give him some permission

and admission he will take

with missionary faith

he's impetuous as an imp

he can't even keep it chaste

when he's impotent and limp

the horny lil' devil

is what they call him 'round my way

if ya'll meet him hide your wives

lest he tempt 'em off to lay

The Lursty little leprechaun's

that con of which I've told

if the devil could be leapt upon

he'd sell his wicked soul

Subpriminal Blues

I bought me a house

with payments lower than rent

but when a year passed by

Oh, you know where they went

they jacked 'em up sky high

so the bank could make it's buck

I told 'em I was broke...

but they ain't give a f---

down on my luck, stuck,

runnin' outa time

all because I signed a line

that said somethin' like subprime

I'm spendin' what I saved

can't buy gifts for christmas

everytime my dues get paid

they say thank you for your business

but karma is a b---h

the banks are failin now

and the federal reserve's

got the nerve to bail them out

throwin fuel upon the flames

and smoke all in our eyes

fix a problem with the problem

and choke us all with lies

everyone wants somebody

to lend them a sum of money

but when someone in need may ask-

they're laughin' like it's funny

with no food upon the fork

we might as well foreclose

let the bank pop the cork

and snort it up his nose

America the Beautiful

Sing it like a blues baby

(Chorus)

Sky scrapers Rise

Up until the midnight hour 

(2x)

America the beautiful

pyramid of power

all she loves more than money is

the smell of gunpowder 

(2x)  

The towers of ol' Babylon

gon' fall, they gon' fall

The towers of ol' Babylon

gon' fall with all they walls 

(2x)

  it's written on papyrus

cities covered up in briars

set it all a'fire

with a meteor shower

Sky scrapers rise

up until the midnight hour (2x)

(verse)

A war could be lost

and still be all for profit

Our souls bleed the cost

so we just need to stop it

Obama said he will

now the planets in his pocket

I'm hopin' that he's real,

not a damn false prophet

 I can't put no signs

on my hand or my head (3x)

No, I'd  rather die and

you can brand me when I'm dead

I don't wannabe so ominous

We'll see what Obama does

If he fails, then buildings

will all fall like dominoes

(chorus)

To Gather

Waitin' on the sun to come 

and give us back our colors

Prayin' for some to come around

and live as brothers

Let's look beyond those covers

that smother all our eyes

and let's all stand together

while we wait for the sun to rise

Some will live

and some will die

either way 

the sun will rise

Some will live

and some will die

either way 

the sun will rise

Seein' Stars

Fall back to this carnal rock

alarm clock screams 

intrude into the lucid dreams

Awake and break the sweet sojourn

and join the old routine of morning

Take a leak, relief is warm

flush the steamy water clearer

check the mirror, for the aura

bluish-green aquamarine

with a little splash of orange

Step outside and scry the sky

starlights fly right by my eyes

like bugs at night surrounding lamps

they whirl and swirl around in dance

Glance at the gal with the curious stare

her eyes are felt through unseen air

she looks away as if she's caught

we're both aware of our shared thought

Have you ever felt the sight of others?

have you seen the light they bring?

do you hear the heartbeat sing,

and follow it's endeavors?

Go back to sleep, pull up the covers,

wait and see what we discover

eyelids close like lovely clover

when the day is close to over

Itchy Foot Blues

if ya git bit 

by a fire ant

don't ya go stompin' 

on the hill

when ya give 'em a chance

they'll git up ya pants

and have ya whole leg

itchin like hell.

Providence Spring

Mee Maw told me

when I was little

a tale 'bout a war

that we call civil

my Great-great-

great-great-Grandfather

Fought for Uncle Sam

in that damn slaughter

He served the country

he loved to the fullest

and the battlefield filled

with blood and bullets

the bodies dropped

like leaves in Autumn

but he fought and fought

til the Confederates caught'im

they brought'im on down

to Andersonville

he musta felt like he fell

and landed in hell

while surrounded by walls

that were built by slaves

thousands were killed

and filled the graves

they got ill with the plague

or shot by the guards

times got real hard

and a lot of them starved

the water dried up

when summertime came

and my Grandfather cried

"All I Want is some RAIN!"

he dropped like a tear

to his knees with a prayer

but before he finished

he could see in the air-

a thunderstorm forming

up above the prison

his prayer was rewarded-

for the Lord had listened

A lightning bolt struck

a spot nearby

and a geyser erupted

and shot to the sky

the prisoners jumped up

and danced and sang

they named that spot 

the Providence Spring

For the Lord gave them water

to drink and to bathe

and my Great-great-great-great grandfather

was thankfully saved.

My Imagication

A breeze hit the trees

picking up some leaves

then threw 'em through the air

and carried one up high

I wasn't really sure,

but I'd seen it in my eye

the leaf became a bird

and then began to fly

with flapping wings and feathers,

it flew up close to me

and told me I could do the same

if only I believed-

 that leaves

could turn into the birds

I thought my eyes deceived me

and dismissed it as absurd

the bird became a leaf again

and quit it's aviation-

as just another figment

of my imagication...
