I adopt a very simple approach. I observe and reflect real life and ordinary people and sooner or later that raises a laugh.

She Ain't Your Ordinary Girl
(Robert Jason)
She ain't your ordinary
She ain't your ordinary girl
She don't love carelessly that's what I've always heard
'Can't use the usual lines she measures every word
No empty promises proof is what it takes to win her heart
The truth and nothing less, simple things that set her far apart
Save your diamonds and your furs she's not your ordinary girl
She ain't your ordinary, no she's not
She ain't your ordinary girl
She ain't your ordinary, oh no
She ain't your ordinary girl
No midnight alibis, no foolish games for her
And if you cross the line you'll get what you deserve
But when you see her smile nothing seems to matter anymore
And in a little while you'll feel like you've never felt before
Like no other in the world, she's not your ordinary girl
She ain't your ordinary, no she's not
She ain't your ordinary girl
She ain't your ordinary, oh no
She ain't your ordinary girl
She ain't your ordinary
She ain't your ordinary girl
She ain't your ordinary
She ain't your ordinary girl
Save your diamonds and your furs, she ain't your ordinary girl
She ain't your ordinary
She ain't your ordinary girl
She ain't your ordinary
She ain't your ordinary girl
She ain't your ordinary
She ain't your ordinary girl
She ain't your ordinary
She ain't your ordinary girl
She ain't your ordinary
She ain't your ordinary girl

Fertilizer
an animal shelter
in Caldwell County
took in 5000 animals
last year
and only managed
to adopt out 300!
the rest were euthanized.
pretty soon
(sooner than you think)
if our political machine
continues its current path.
they'll have these shelters
for people
old people, sick people,
poor people, unwanted people
and if they only manage
to adopt out 300
for every 5000 they take in
then, the rest will be
fertilizer!

I
What makes to think about me?
It is “I” who did this and not we
Simple creation of dangerous trend
Really needs some change to mend
I simply stare at sky and wonder
Why do they hang there? I ponder
Clouds never think when they thunder
We still do………………
Love, hatred and agony reflect in eye
So many questions but don’t find answer why?
I can’t dare to ask and feel little shy
Always wish to ride on wings and fly
What stops you from becoming humble?
Is it momentary bursts as water’s bubble?
Putting up of brave front for existing trouble?
Is it your inner ego which turns the table?
If you remove or isolate “I” from an eye
World may look so colourful without facing bye
Good wishes and welcome will boost the morale
Warmth in relation and freshness in air when inhale
When you project yourself as central figure
Take it for granted it is end of your tenure
People may laugh it out and consider you immature
Nothing may augur well when you find against your nature
Neither it is not for pushing self to aside
Nor avoid or neglect the interest beside
It is only the way or mode of projection
That may invite wrath and objection
Why learned people try to be honest in approach?
Does any one need lessons or coach?
It is simple way of adoption and practice
You may take it as an ordinary advice
I would always love to be in limelight
Day shouldn’t end and come the night
Must get everything without any fight
Failed to grasp what is wrong or right?

Not an ordinary girl
She walked along a windy road
That so many before her trod
The Lord saw fit to bless her rich
With father, mother and sibling each
Yet she was not an ordinary girl
She had 2 eyes,2 ears, of course 2 lips
But not the sort to cause men's flips
Her hips were okay for a sashay
But I swear we'd seen better in SA
Yet she was not an ordinary girl
She was possessed of charm and wits
And once in a while caused laughing fits
Her brain was sharp, her heart was kind
But millions of her, easy to find
Yet she was not an ordinary girl
She worked as hard as the next man
Her ambition, part of a simple plan
Provide a home, the basic needs
Nothing very lofty about those deeds
Yet she was not an ordinary girl
As far as we see, there's no mystery
In this our dear girl's history
And so I ask, dear friend pray tell
What's so extraordinary, bout this damsel
That makes her not an ordinary girl
It's in the way she holds her head
It's in the way her laugh is heard
Observe her over brightened eyes
Notice her gait, oh! how she glides
She's definitely not an ordinary girl
One distinction indeed, does make her bold
In her heart solid gold, a secret of old
She's earned within her short lifespan
The love of an extraordinary man
Yes! she's definitely not an ordinary girl

Every Little Thing She Does
(jeffrey steele/al anderson/bob dipiero)
Ooh, when I see her in my tee shirt
Brushin her teeth, dancin to the radio
Ooh, her coffee and her kissin
The way she looks at me, I hate to see her leave
But I sure love watchin her go
Every little thing she does
Every little thing she does
I keep fallin in love with every single simple
Ordinary little thing she does
Ooh, paintin on her toenails
Watchin tv, got her mama on the telephone
Ooh, in a corner at a party
She puts down her drink, gives me a little wink
And says wait til I get you home
Every little thing she does
Every little thing she does
I keep fallin in love with every single simple
Ordinary little thing she does
Listenin to her breathe, watchin her when she sleeps
The bubbles in her bath, the funny little laugh
Oh yea, oh yea, oh yea
Every little thing she does
Every little thing she does
I keep fallin in love with every single simple
Ordinary little thing she does

What Has Been Denied
One of the main reasons,
People don't know who they are...
Or can respect others to accept,
Is their approach to life.
And a valued place on false pretensions.
People have been made to believe,
And are convinced...
That reality is to be pretended,
And the more pretentious they are...
The more they reflect a 'version' of reality.
Blindly accepted.
And...
Those who are themselves,
And have lived reality...
From an experiencing of it,
Are perceived as being phony.
Although everything they have done...
Is based upon truth as it is,
And have attempted to deliver it.
But are criticized for being nonconformists.
One of the main reasons,
People don't know who they are...
Or can respect others to accept,
Is their approach to life.
One is taught how to live,
And how to act.
What beliefs to accept,
From those created...
And followed 'faithfully'.
And those who live not accepting,
Those beliefs to follow 'faithfully'...
Seem to live freer lives,
Without having lies to follow.
'Why is there so much conflict in the world.
Why are so many people unhappy? '
That's a good question.
And they are the ones who follow,
Taught beliefs.
Without seeking to live life,
To discover it on their own.
They follow and protest yet accept.
'But,
How can you say that? '
I've learned to stand back,
And observe that which has been denied.
My eyes have been open most of my life,
To see things as they are.
Not what I wish them to be.
With eyes open wide.
And apparently my 'version' has offered me,
A more peaceful co-existence.
And that for me is not phony at all.
I only have one face that I've shown.
Have you ever seen me wearing a mask?
To appease others doing it?
'No.'
You should take yours off.
You'll see exactly what I mean.
When you begin to experience life,
So many become offended.

Stress is indispensable.
The stress is a demand on your energy,
Mental or physical. You’ve to have stress
As you are often in conflict as to
Whether to move or stand, fight or flee,
And yield or adopt. You cannot escape it.
The sooner you adopt the less is the stress.

No One Can Claim
It makes us to drive crazy
Even if sometimes we may act lazy
Life is what we have observed to be steady
Not at our attempts but by the grace of almighty
No one can claim and emphatically say
Abut the right or wrong approach on the way
We act merely on good counsel and wisdom
So we never get deviated or fail seldom
We must recognize and believe in simple truth
The tongue has right place behind teeth
No one is allowed to cross the limit
To stay within confined wall and lovingly greet
There is light deep inside that sometimes forbad
From going ahead with bad things or illegal trade
Trade that deals with spread of hatred
Incite people against people and lead
One thing is to be taken for sure
Clear consciousness stops us and assures
Not to adopt any unfair means to pursue
Even if that gives little gain untimely due
That divine flow is meant for all
Even dreaded animal waits for timely call
We are human being and as such must respond
As many fishes may remain peacefully in the pond
I though of burning lamp with its light
As if it was guiding beacon to choose right
And go in direction that can be really helpful
To live as an ordinary man but very much successful
The smoke goes in layer to disappear
And that creates in mind slight fear
To think about uncertain life on earth
Only to disappear with sure existence of death

Superman Is Dead
Do you worry that you're not liked
how long till you break
You're happy cause you smile
but how much can you fake
an ordinary boy, an ordinary name
but ordinary's just not good enough today
Now who
Alone I'm thinking
why is superman's dead
is it in my head
we'll just laugh instead
worry about the weather and
whether or not you should hate
now you worried about your faith
kneel down and obey
you're happy you're in love
you need someone to hate
an ordinary girl, an ordinary waist
but ordinary's just not good enough today
Alone I'm thinking
why is superman's dead
is it in my head
we'll just laugh instead
you worry about the weather and
whether or not you should hate
Doesn't anybody ever know
that the world's a subway

A Simple Friend
A simple friend has never seen you cry.
A real friend has shoulders soggy from your tears.
A simple friend doesn't know your parents first names.
A real friend has their phone numbers in his address book.
A simple friend hates it when you call after he has gone to bed.
A real friend asks you why it took you so long to call.
A simple friend seeks to talk with you about your problems.
A real friend seeks to help you with your problems.
A simple friend wonders about your romantic history.
A real friend could blackmail you with it.
A simple friend, when visiting, acts like a guest.
A real friend opens the refrigerator and helps himself.
A simple friend thinks the friendship is over when you have an argument.
A real friend knows that it's not a friendship until after you've had fight

History Will Teach Us Nothing
If we seek solace in the prisons of the distant past
Security in human systems were told will always always last
Emotions are the sail and blind faith is the mast
Without a breath of real freedom were getting nowhere fast
If God is dead and an actor plays his part
His words of fear will find their way to a place in your heart
Without the voice of reason every faith is its own curse
Without freedom from the past things can only get worse
Sooner or later just like the world first day
Sooner or later we learn to throw the past away
Sooner or later just like the world first day
Sooner or later we learn to throw the past away
Sooner or later we learn to throw the past away
History will teach us nothing
History will teach us nothing
Our written history is a catalogue of crime
The sordid and the powerful, the architects of time
The mother of invention, the oppression of the mild
The constant fear of scarcity, aggression as its child
Sooner or later
Sooner or later
Sooner or later
Sooner or later
Convince an enemy, convince him that hes wrong
Is to win a bloodless battle where victory is long
A simple act of faith
In reason over might
To blow up his children will only prove him right
History will teach us nothing
Sooner or later the world first day
Sooner or later we learn to throw the past away
Sooner or later the world first day
Sooner or later we learn to throw the past away
Sooner or later we learn to throw the past away
History will teach us nothing
History will teach us nothing

Life...life...life..
life is where ever we stand for it
life is just a simple journey
life is what we make it
life is no nothing if we silent about it
life is crush if we turn the wrong path
life is very serious if we choose wrongly
life will not come if not in search
life is easy if we know which kind I overcome
real life is very simple
it all matters very happy we just need to understand the problem of the future
real life is very exciting
life is SWEET.
There Are Only The Two Of Us
life would have been simple
with just two of us
but as simple as we want life
to be
it isn't that way
life becomes a house without windows
and furniture and kitchen
without the other people
who eat with us
when we are too lonely
when simplicity is equated with loneliness
because the house
has not learned to laugh like a kid.

Your Summer Dream
Drive your car down to the sea
All the while you build a scheme
Take her hand and walk on with her
Make it real your summer dream
Smell the warm and salty air
See a wave reflect a beam
Stop and find a pretty shell for her
Make it real your summer dream
See another couple over there
To them an ordinary day
Soon you wonder the time has gone
The sun has almost slipped away
Now it's gone and your alone
In her eyes you see a gleam
Time has come for you to show your love
Make it real your summer dream
Make it real your summer dream
Make it real your summer dream

Please, Don't 'Laugh '! Smile!
If people smile at us, we have to smile back,
Otherwise we may offend them with our disrespect.
If people laugh at us, should we have to laugh back,
otherwise they may think that we are worms.
We are not worms for anyone to step on us,
for them to have the feeling of stepping on us.
We are the tortoises or simple snails,
when we are stepped on, Let them have that feel.
Let us be safe inside our protective wise shell,
while they shadow themselves with guilty pride.
When people have every right to laugh at us,
we have every right to laugh at them. Smile, please.

Fundamental of Liar Chapter XXII: Laugh
there's laugh, forced laugh
laugh, gentle rejection without word
laugh, looking sympathy with laugh
laugh but actually doesn't laugh
hiding anger, hiding pain
cheerful laugh but alone inside
why you try hard to impress people?
tired and wounded more
laughing your foolish joke
and crying life in the dark room
laugh for yourself
laugh with your heart
and you'll never regret to try an honest laugh

Sooner Or Later
Im walking down the street I used to walk with them
Rain is falling down on me
Every step I take just leads to another
Now theres nothing in my way
No I dont no what I can say
And you wouldnt listen anyway
Sooner or later, later, later, oh oh oh, gonna find you
Sooner or later, later, gonna get to you
I got the message late last night, thats when it hit me
Though it over and over and over and over again
While I was drowning in the sea of your devotion
But you were miles and miles and miles away
Oh you wouldnt no what things to say
And you wouldnt say them anyway
But sooner or later, later, later, oh oh, gonna find you
Sooner or later, ah ah ah, gonna get to you
Sooner or later, later, later, gonna find you
Sooner or later, ah ah ah, gonna get to you
The sun is shining, making shadows on the wall
But not will soon be comin in
And every where there will be misery, misery, misery
Until I get to you again
Oh I never new you wanted to leave
You never thought about talkin to me
Sooner or later, later, later, oh, oh, gonna find you
Sooner or later, ah ah ah, gonna get to you
Sooner or later, later, later, oh, oh, gonna find you
Sooner or later, ah ah ah, gonna get to you
I dont know what I can say
But you wouldnt listen anyway
Sooner or later, later, later
Sooner or later, later, later, gonna get to you
Sooner or later, later, later, gonna find you
Sooner or later, later, later, gone get you
Sooner or later, sooner or later,

Sooner or later, sooner or later

Ordinary Day
Aaaaaah
Ahahahahahaaaaa
I wanna kiss you
Just not ordinary miss you
It's an ordinary day
I would like to do the same tomorrow
I wanna kiss you
Just not ordinary miss you
But you're sleeping on my arm
I'm longing to wake you up
I want it simple
I have travelled around the world
I can never see myself in the rain
Walking out
Now it's you and me
And we take it from here and now
Twosome wild and free
I wanna kiss you
Just not ordinary miss you
It's an ordinary day
I would like to do the same tomorrow
Would I lie

Sooner or later its gonna get better
Sooner or later Im gonna get over her
You know I cant go on like this
Its just a matter time
Therell come a day when I will wake up
Without her on my mind
Sooner or later its gonna get better
Sooner or later Im gonna get over her
They say that time will heal everything
So Im winding the clock
And waiting for that glorius moment
When my heartache will stop
She let me go
It took me by surprise
I feel out of place
Without her by my side
Sooner or later its gonna get better
Sooner or later Im gonna get over her
Sooner or later ... sooner or later
Sooner or later ...
