Mine, yours
True, hoax
Clear, vague
Lame, believable
Opposite, reverse
Alternate, faithful
Simplified, exaggerated
Adapted, revival
The theory, the fantasy
The favorite, the intriguing
Approved, banned
Well received, highly criticized
Defend it, change it
The new one, the special one
The harmless one, the rated R
The deleted scene, the extended edition
Which one that fulfilled your preference?

Comedy is exaggerated realism. It can be stretched to the almost ludicrous, but it must always be believable.

Can we ever trust each other

Intended to Keep Them Peacocking
Slipping from a pinnacle,
Clawed from a sudden drop...
And open to cynical remarks to start.
Apart from those of mine already made,
It seemed as though...
They would have taken what was said,
To save themselves.
Instead of turning their backs to lay blame,
On others to attack!
With excuses stale and lame.
And now this slide is all that can be seen!
Reminding those who approved and chose this route...
How mean and cruel these scenes can be!
And comments made to correct such 'downgrades'...
Were intended to keep them peacocking about.
Initially!
But they really didn't 'get it'!
And received a booting regretted.
With their shouting and upset pouting,
Leaving them...
Left out!

My Favorite Memory
The first time we met is a favorite memory of mine
They say time changes all it pertains to
But your memory is stronger then time
I guess everything does change except
What you choose to recall
There's a million good day dreams to dream on
But baby your my favorite memory of all
Like the night we first got together on our bench
And held each other tight
Like the winter we spent together
Helping each other and closer then ever
And I remember our special times together
And our walks and our lost time together
It was always you who made the whole time a ball
It was you who called me just to hear my voice
Theres a million good times
I could dwell on
But baby you are my favorite memory of all
and you'll always be my favorite memory.

Bachelor Pad
I had super fragilistic sex!
And it was not that bad.
Superfragilistic good...
Exciting sensations I forgot I had!
Masturbation had been an issue,
Too complex to explain.
I'm submissively aggressive...
And that leaves a 'fling' limp and lame!
I know I have a preference.
And I like to be done in that way!
But I have been teased by physiques
I thought would please...
But eye candy was all they displayed.
'Ugh! '
I had superfragilistic sex...
Not the best but better than I had.
And when it was through,
I hung up the phone...
Feeling fulfilled in my bachelor pad!

Sharing The Ultimate Gift
I want to share a special gift with you that God has given to me,
This gift like most others that you will receive is absolutely free.
However unlike other gifts that you may have received in the past,
This special gift and this one alone through all eternity will last.
Although you can't see this gift, it's the greatest you can receive,
This gift is not in a box, but in the heart of all those who believe.
And even though this gift is one of a kind and very special indeed,
You'll surely want to give this gift away as soon as it is received.
Don't be concerned about giving away something you didn't use,
For God said “Blessed are the feet of those who bring good news.”
This gift will surprise you on the day you decide to give it away,
You won't feel any loss at all with more to give the following day.
My friend you will be Eternally Grateful when you finally choose,
To truly embrace but give away this gift that you can never lose.
By now you know this gift is none other than Jesus Christ the Lord,
And your faithful sharing of this gift, by Him, will not be ignored.
For our Great Blessed Hope, who through the ages many have adored,
At His return will bring to all His faithful, an Everlasting Reward.
So the next gift you receive and think you'll treasure forevermore,
Remember that the only truly lasting gift is Jesus Christ The Lord.

God’s Revival
Some may focus on survival, when what we need is true revival,
Revival of the spiritual kind, which moves in the heart and mind.
Revival may be man’s desire, but comes from one much higher,
The revival that I’m speaking of, comes through the Lord above.
Before revival can have a start, we must first prepare our heart,
Just like a farmer prepares a field, so that a new crop will yield,
Preparing our heart to be right, as broken for God and contrite,
So God can have His way in us, in the likeness of Christ Jesus.
Humility is that place to start, as believers seek to do their part,
As we yield our heart to Him, for God to change us from within.
Next we take this need and care, to a Sovereign Lord in prayer,
Who alone moves hearts of men, like nothing else on earth can.
Then as we seek God’s face, He sends upon His people Grace,
Along with His Spirit, to do His will, as God’s purpose we fulfill.
And friend, with all this in mind, we must leave old ways behind,
Turning away from all evil ways, as we seek to give God praise.
Praise not from things men do, but, how God uses me and you,
As we turn away from our sin, and His Revival, God does begin,
With His purpose and in His time, not by man’s religious design,
Using this present generation, to share His Gospel of Salvation.

Thinkin' of You (Everywhere I Go)
vs.1 No matter what goes on in my life,
You're always on my mind.
I've never met anyone so special,
Adorable, sweet, and kind.
Words can't describe just how I feel,
And no one can break this long-lasting seal
Between us; you're the most loving
Person I come to find.
(chorus)
I've been thinkin' of you,
Everywhere I go.
I'm pretty sure you're my true love,
And they all seem to think so.
I've been dreamin' of you,
Day and night.
I don't know what goes on in YOUR head,
But I'm certain it's right
Along with mine, too,
'Cause I've been thinkin' of you.
vs.2 You say I'm pretty much the
Most important thing to you.
Of course, that's believable,
Considering what you do.
You lean down and kiss me,
And no one can take away this memory;
You tell me you love me, and
I say 'I love you, too.'
(chorus)
(instrumental)
(chorus) x2
No, I don't know what goes on that head of yours,
But I'm certain it's right
Along with mine, too.
'Cause I've been dreamin', wonderin',
Thinkin' of you!
Yes, it's true; I love you! :)

With A Forgetting About Preferences
I remember once having a preference for dogs.
But now I have a preference for cats.
I remember being attracted to those I fantasized.
But I knew in my mind...
My delusions kept would not realize that.
I remember being in love,
With those I met to fall head over heels.
And I remember being wounded,
With my heart broken too!
None of that stayed with me to appeal.
But if anyone believes I still do what I use to...
Would be quite surprise how I have adapted,
To a life that now attracts only happiness...
With a forgetting about preferences I 'once' had,
Not to dwell upon to be remembered...
About who was good at doing what, where and when.

A White Pebble
in my little unknown town
a lame woman
swallows a white pebble
after saying her name
in reverse
and lo! she turns into
a superwoman
duping all the lazy people
into watching her serial stories
on TV
Darna! Darna! Darna!
The Good always triumphs over Evil
at least in fantasy
somehow.

Lame Game
It's all the same,
When a game is played lame!
It's all the same...
A lame game!
It's all the same,
When a game is played lame!
And the game
Being played...
Is so lame!
It's all the same,
When a game is played lame!
It's all the same.
A lame game!
It's all the same,
When a game is played lame,
And the game being played
By the players who play...
Is so tired and lame anyway!
And lame it will stay everyday!
'Cause they 'got no' shame
To play such tired games
Knowing it's all the same,
When a game is played lame!
And the game stays the same
'Cause no one wants to change
From a game that is lame..
And each day that lame game,
Stays the same!

My everything
you are my un inherited fortune
you are my cherished pleasure
you are my love fulfilled fountain
you are my untouched treasure
you are the reason I am vague
you are the cause of my ecstasy
you are the healer of my rage
you are the hero of every fantasy
you are my everlasting love
you are my life giver and reaper
you are my angel from above
you are my secret keeper

Don't Change
Why would you change who you are?
Don’t do that.
People were made the way they were for a reason,
Trying to change yourself would be like trying to change fate,
You can’t do it, so don’t change who you are.
I love you because of the silly things you do,
You wouldn’t have been that way if you weren’t made to be special,
And you are special,
You’re special to me,
Special because you like me for who I am, and in return I like you for you.
So, why would you want to change who you are?
If it’s because of the way you look, that’s silly,
To me everyone is beautiful, especially you,
All you have to remember is,
It’s you, who makes you,
So don’t you dare change.

My Favorite Girl
My favorite girl, oh, shes my favorite girl, dont you know,
My favorite girl, oh, shes my favorite girl.
You walked into my life, your love was so new,
And nothing will ever change my feelings for you,
Well, you were so far away, now I am close to you, girl,
So let us run away, our heart thats waiting will stay.
My favorite...
Theres so much I like in you I cant go on,
I wanted a girl like you Ive looked so long,
Girl, nothing will make us wrong, I know our love is too strong,
Lets leave the rest behind, our dreams ask what we will find.
My favorite...

Harmless Heart
You said you were afraid to trust
So sorry for yourself it must be hard
Living inside your head
Well, Im no angel in disguise
Ive had my share of alibis
But I was true to you, I meant every word I said
But whats the use, you believe whatever you want to
Chorus:
You can run, you can hide,
Love will still come to find you
You can turn it away
Keep romancin your pain
Your the best at self defense
I say youve mastered the art
But baby, mine was a harmless heart
In your mind Im like the rest
Set me up to fail the test
And prove that you were right
Everyone lets you down
The ghost of all that might have been
Is tapping on your shoulder
But you just keep right on movin,
You never turn around
If you ever do, I hope you see that I really love you
Repeat chorus
Youre the best at self defense
I say youve mastered the art,
But baby, mine was a harmless heart
Yeah mine was a harmless heart

Exactly What You Wanted
Im not so good realizing
Who I can or cannot trust
Its best to keep what matters vague
With harmless lies I can adjust
I get a d for disappointment
Now theres nothing to regret
Everybodys good for something
At least you know what you wont get
I let you down again
Whats another harmless
Lie between friends?
Now you can be disappointed
I thought I gave you just exactly
What you wanted

Ill Be Faithful
(ned albright / mike soles / steve soles)
I would be your water when your thirsty mouth was dry
I would be your sunshine when clouds are in the sky
I would stand that close beside you
And be your only friend
And I have promised love forever
There will be no end
Ooh, hoo, Ill be faithful
Ooh, hoo, Ill be true, too
Ooh, hoo, Ill be faithful, yes I will now
Ooh, hoo, oh my, true to you
Now I would be your music if you would like a song
I would sleep beside you when the winters cold and long
I would be the pole to guide you, never would I bend
And I have promised love forever
There will be no end
Ooh, hoo, Ill be faithful, oh, yeah
Ooh, hoo, Ill be true too, mmm
Ooh, hoo, Ill be faithful, oh, yeah
Ooh, hoo, oh my, true to you, ooh, hoo
I have promised love forever
There will be no end
Ooh, hoo, Ill be faithful, oh, yeah
Ooh, hoo, Ill be true, too
Ooh, hoo, Ill be faithful, yes I will
Ooh, hoo, oh my, true to you

Nana Yaa, Wisdom Is A tree Of Life!
Stories are completely true or completely false!
And like the first edition and the last edition;
But we are mixed up with history as we grow up.
Nana Yaa, wisdom is a tree of life!
And the pleasure of life and the joy of it that we shared was,
All about the true-love between you and i! !

Un-believable Situations
Un-believable situations,
Leave a lump in a throat.
And those,
Un-believable situations...
Can leave a weight on shoulders,
Whether one is young on older.
No matter who's brave or bold.
Stricken with heat or fever,
No matter who's brave or bold.
Those un-believable situations,
Can warm a heart...
Or turn it cold.
Few are prepared for what they can not see.
When surprised by situations.
Many choke up and can not breathe,
When confronted by situations...
Shocking and unbelieved.
Stricken with heat or fever,
No matter who's brave or bold.
Those un-believable situations,
Can warm a heart...
Or turn it cold.
Those un-believable situations,
Always stun the ones who disbelieve.
Those un-believable situations,
Come to bring some to their knees.
Those un-believable situations,
Always stun the ones who disbelieve.
Those un-believable situations,
Come to bring some to their knees.
Those un-believable situations,
Always stun the ones who disbelieve.
Those un-believable situations,
Come to bring some to their knees.
