032110i Not That Much

line to pay is longer, ten minutes wait
they are so polite, they try to sell trinkets
i look at the bottom a small letters china
i feel like chinese has all the jobs available
i can't find anything that is not from there
even those davey crockett's hat, a fake fur

i walk outside with my daughter in tow
with food boxes, her food tomorrow
before i get to my car, somebody waiting
to take my parking spot, he's smiling
feeling of luck, he's thinking about
while me deciding which is good route

oh! i forgot to lock my door, i don't mind
it is old, i don't have any of importance
besides my cd's, coins and golf balls
on week days my cheap basic tools
i heard my daughter ' thanks for lunch'
so glad to hear though not that much

Parking Team

This is where I want to be

Standing in the coldness of winter

Standing in the hotness of summer

Directing traffic

Seeing smiles

Hearing the laughter of children

Seeing the golf cart come by

Full of laughing kids

Seeing the smiles on their faces when the cart comes

That’s what I love about the parking team!

The way I’m able to help everyone brings a smile to my face

I see familiar faces when I drive the golf cart

Those faces, those smiles, those people is what keeps me going

I enjoy every moment on the team

From putting on my vest to calling it a night

I live for those moments

During those times, that’s when I shine

I never let my glow leave

I have fun with parking

Even standing in the rain… it’s fun

This is something that I long to do every week

It’s just for less than four hours
But it’s the best part of my week

I find parking a challenge

You never know what is on its way

It could be a new spot or it could be a new route

Whatever the challenge, I will take it

I will take it and be the best

Nothing and no one will stand in my way

Please feed my daughter

It's been a long time since we've had food and water.
I don't care about myself but please feed my daughter.
I hate to inconvenience you or to intrude.
But my daughter will die if she doesn't gets some food.

She's a sweet girl who is adorable and her heart is pure.
My entire world will collapse if anything happens to her.
I asked others for food but they all said no.
They didn't give a damn and that was pretty low.

I'm willing to do some work around your house if you'll spare a meal.
I'll do anything to feed my daughter except steal.
I lost my home and my job and I'll appreciate any food that you'll give her.
If she dies, I want to die too because life won't be worth living unless I'm with her.

Overweight with Food

Are you just a tub of lard and
Vastly overweight?
Do you think that when you die you'll
Need a piano crate
To act as coffin for your frame? -
Chosen as you die in shame, with
Only you to take the blame
For years of eating much the same:
A daily calorific fest
Gourmands of your ilk digest!

Is your heart in final fling and
Nearly set to burst?
Are your arteries bunged and clogged and
Feeling now the worst
For wear? - your aneurysm fit to blow
While blood as thick as rising dough
Cries 'Halt! ' to any hope of flow:
A dreadful state to put on show
In front of any nurse!
Best you hail a hearse.

Waiting For Waiting's Sake

Waiting is more of a feeling than a state or being
When you wait it's not really time spent that weighs on you
IT's really the purpose or reason and the place you wait too
Waiting never is waiting even when it's 5 or 10 or 20 hours or more
It becomes waiting when you feel impatient
When you feel you can no longer wait
That is truly when you being to wait
And wait for waiting's sake
It always seems like more minutes more time
More time is what makes it weigh more, but it's a change
In emotion basically an enigma
It is not even what you do as you wait
If anything at all, it strangely is just the
Feeling. Consider when you simply stare at the
Clouds for hours, you wait and wait
Watch the clouds' gait
But not even a minute passes not in your mind
Not any second is wasted of left behind
But waiting 2 simple minutes is waiting
When you let emotions take hold
Even asked to wait another second is brazen and bold
So you see it is only that emotion
Only that feeling, desire for resolution and restitution
It's funny how we are not controlled by
States or circumstances
Mere happenstance
But rather we are controlled by character, emotion, our feeling
No state of the world can change them
It is only when
We allow our perceptions to change, it is only then
Circumstance even affects us, it only happens when we let it
And so I say when we wait and don't feel waiting
It is not waiting at all, no matter how much time
I realize I feel nothing, no sense of waiting not when I rhyme
I lose perception of time and so I have unlimited time
To write and write and write each and every single
Time I wait and even I wait for waiting's sake

At the Lake

I got this little spot
just out of town
next to a lake
not much else around

There I can hear the wind blow
rustling through the trees
sometimes I can hear the fish jump
eating amongst the reeds

It is very quiet
no machines or human sounds
just those of little critters
looking for food on the ground

Here you can smell the trees
amongst all of natures smells
honeysuckle, a few weeds
water standing in a well

At night the fire crackles
shadows dance around the circle
reflections on the water
the horizon turning purple

As I cook some food
the smells begin to wander
drawing everyone near
tomorrow's goals we ponder

Will we fish? , Will we swim?
or will we just lay around
will we hit golf balls in the lake
or driver our tractor to town?

Maybe we will sit right here
and sip old Jim Beam down
cause that's what I like the best
about that spot just out of town!

A Pill For Every Ill

He gullibly ate the fake food
Thinking that its quality was good.

Labeled with a bogus hologram
Food’s packing too was sham.

Taking that food he took ill
And was unable to move at will.

Then he was prescribed fake drug
By the doctor who was a thug.

In spite of that he was healed,
Coz his faith in food, doctor and pill

Lunch Bucket

Lunch bucket on the kitchen counter
They closed the plant
Jobs sent over seas for cheap labor
Now they blame it on the workers
They blame it on the laid off
They bust unions, call people lazy
They take away benefits
They protect the rich that shipped the jobs

He looks at his kid’s pictures
Daughter in seventh grade
His son turning nine
What am I going to do without healthcare?
Can I find another job with benefits?
The right-wingers are fighting healthcare
He feels the anger of a country loosing dreams
His lunch bucket has a name not a number

I Love Ramen

because i havent made myself lunch not yet
but no reason to fret
i know what i will make

this food is something you might not expect i dont know
but i think it is time to show

Tomorrow's

Trying hard, I thought I'd done my best
All my life, I can't get no rest
Some who've closed the door before
Say I can't carry on no more.
I hear them saying
Tomorrow's just another day
I hear them saying
And it gets better every day
I hear them saying
Tomorrow's just another day
Listened long, tried to take it in
All these facts leave me in the swim
It's down and down there is no up
I think that I've run out of luck.
I hear them saying
Tomorrow's just another day
I hear them saying
And it gets better every day
I hear them saying
Tomorrow's just another day
Tomorrow's just another... day
Walking now, over covered ground
There is a chance if I move around
I need a moment to reflect
On the friendships I have wrecked.
Why is it I(???) don't I always try ?
I hear them say
Tomorrow's just another day
I hear them say
And it gets better every day
I hear them say
Tomorrow's just another day
I hear them say
And it gets better every day
I heard them say
Tomorrow's just another day
I hear them say
Tomorrow's just another day
Tomorrow's just another...
I hear them saying
Tomorrow's just another day
I hear them saying
And it gets better every day
I hear them saying
Tomorrow's just another day

MaMa's Cooking

Thinking of times I would say what's cooking everyday
It's an assortment of goodie things
Chocolate, pies and banana pudding
Enough food and that's Mama's cooking

Thinking of times I would say what's cooking everyday
Apron in hand and lasting impression I didn't want to miss
Everything seem perfect from beginning to end
Enough food and that's Mama's Cooking

Thinking of times I would say what's cooking everyday
Smiling faces and a gentle speech of o.k.
Noone knows how much the void I can't fill
Enough food and that Mama's Cooking

Thinking of times I would say what's cooking everyday
Being polite and sincere would carry the weight
Seemingly enough she has the greater plan
Enough food and that Mama's Cooking ahead

Thinking of times I would say what's cooking everyday
The napkins, plates and never-ending why didn't it last
Noone knows how much the void I can't fill
Enough food and that's Mama's Cooking again

Thinking of times I would say what's cooking everyday
Craving for the turkey and dressing pan
Not to admit, seemed a bit much
Enough Food and that's Mama's Cooking again

So nowadays, I look for the needle in the haystack
Wishing on the times, she would come back
It's been 10 years, since I said thoughs word's
Enough food and that Mama's blessing for us

Missing mom everyday becomes second-nature for me
Enough food, Enough love and One day she'll see
For know I'll take her spirits with me and others will speak
Enough food, Enough love and One day she'll see

Feeling Best

(glen sharrock)
It took a long time
But now Im gonna be laughing
A very long time
When all I could feel was sad
A very long time
But now its gonna be worth it
Cause I just found a friend to make me glad
Im feeling food, feeling better
Im feeling best
I feel a cut above the rest
Im gonna put it to the test
Feeling good, feeling better
Feeling best
Feeling good, feeling better
Im feeling best
I hope it doesnt sound like Im blowing my own trumpet
Cause all I wanna do is join up with the band
When you feel good
You gotta come right out and say it
Ive been so long at sea and Ive just seen land
Im feeling food, feeling better
Im feeling best
I feel a cut above the rest
Im gonna put it to the test
Feeling good, feeling better
Feeling best
Feeling good, feeling better
Im feeling best

Salad is Incompatible with Life

Yes, my waist is fifty inches -
Big for me because I'm short.
And yes, I like my cheddar cheese
When partnered with a vintage port.

Okay, okay, that double cream
Is always served with pud,
And cake and biscuits with my tea
Are just no bloody good

For my poor hardened arteries,
But see my point of view,
Please dear wifey if you please,
A Salad makes me spew!

I'd rather eat a bowl of air
Than crunch away on greens;
Drink water from the toilet bowl
Or nibble on my jeans!

But salad! Are you there?
You know it makes me snappy -
So let me fill my face with grub,
Stay fat, and die young happy!

I love chinese food! !

I love chinese food, and chinese food loves me,
but in my imaginary land, i am the queen.

The clouds there are orange chicken, the grass is chow mein,
I love my land, mostly because there's no candy canes.

The mountains are huge potsickersand the trees are eggrolls,
whatever I'm craving it falls into a bowl.

It doesn't fall in big, it falls in small,
I'll tell you how small, as small as a golf ball.

It rains soy sauce, and the bushes are broccoli,
the beef is a part, and that part is it's berries.

Whenever go there, it's always fun,
so next time I go, you should really come.

Syrup Sponge

Pour a pint of cream
Upon my spongy bulge!

Scoop me with a
Hefty spoon;

Taste my essence -
Do you swoon?

Feed your self-esteem; indulge
In me until you burst -

Death by syrup sponge - you're cursed!

And as the count in inches gain
Upon your weary waist, the strain
Will tell, but you'll not care -
Steeped in sponge, you're unaware!

About To Give Out

Rickey and dickey
Standing in the sun
Out there on that highway and the dog wouldnt run
Rickey rolled a number
Dickey raised the hood
Time we hit daytona I was feeling pretty good
Oh, mama Im about to give out
Oh, mama Im about to give out
Im davey crockett in a coonskin town
Oh, mama Im about to give out
Karaoke katie drove the crowd wild
Every time shed sing theyd come in for miles
Curtain came up
Katie came on
Drinking like a lumberjack
And singing delta dawn
Oh, mama Im about to give out
Oh, mama Im about to give out
Im davey crockett in a coonskin town
Oh, mama Im about to give out
Yeah, I hit town hard last night
Abraham and moses
Some other friends of mine
Moses started drinkin he got a little rude
We woke up in the bushes
Beat to hell and nude
Oh, mama Im about to give out
Oh, mama Im about to give out
Im davey crockett in a coonskin town
Oh, mama, Im about to give out
Im roy rogers in a one horse town
Oh, mama Im about to give out

041410f Eat, Drink And Clean Up

men are helping conductor to load up
my bag is still hanging there innocently
villagers came with trinkets and food
they are selling, boiled corn, sweet
potato, banana, chicken on stick, drinks
they are buying, it must be good but me

we have rested almost twenty minutes
their faces are brighter now than few
minutes ago, villagers also made money
i also wash my face; still brown thru n thru
i didn't tried their food nor their drinks
i have my orange juice bottle and sandwich
