Happy Friendship Day,2012
Befriend someone who
Fills a void in life;
Befriend someone who
Helps you in all strife.
Befriend someone who
Consoles you in grief;
Befriend someone who
Never turns a thief!
Befriend someone who
Steals your mind and heart;
Befriend someone who
Weeps when you depart.
Befriend someone who
Makes days beautiful!
Befriend someone who
Makes life meaningful!

Delivering The 'Jabs
My dislike for backstabbers,
Developed many years ago...
When I began to notice,
How easily they were able to do this.
With the use of their lips unseen,
Delivering the 'jabs'.
And...
Had the ability to pretend,
Not to be involved in the process.
While attempting to play innocent.
As they strategically moved,
Back and forth...
From both sides of a picket fence.
Like someone too familiar with doing a tango.
So no one would be aware of steps out of place.
Or the hopping of a fence done.

I grew up with the white picket fence. My dad went to work nine to five, and he had a station wagon.

Grand-Pa's Whim
While for me gapes the greedy grave
It don't make sense
That I should have a crazy crave
To paint our fence.
Yet that is what I aim to do,
Though dim my sight:
Jest paint them aged pickets blue,
Or green or white.
Jest squat serenely in the sun
Wi' brush an' paint,
An' gay them pickets one by one,
--A chore! It ain't.
The job is joy. Although I'm slow
I save expense:
So folks, let me before I go,
Smart that ol' fence.
Them pickets with my hands I made,
When young and spry;
I coloured them a gleeful shade
To glad the eye.
So now as chirpy as a boy,
'Ere I go hence,
Once more let me jest bright to joy
Our picket fence.

Heart Like A Sad Song
(written by annie roboff and arnie roman)
She loves the ones with all that wounded pride
The ones who carry all that hurt inside
Who never seem to find a place they belong
Shes got a heart like a sad song
And she will give them all the love she can
Even when love wont give her half a chance
And she will stay with them till all hope is gone
Shes got a heart like a sad song
Theres a wedding picture she still keeps
Of the girl she was and the man he seemed to be
He left her the house with the picket fence
And walked away with her innocence
Theres a wedding picture she still keeps
Of the girl she was and the man he seemed to be
He left her the house with the picket fence
And walked away with her innocence
Now from the moment that love comes to call
Shes waiting for that other shoe to fall
Goodbyes the only thing that shes counting on
Oh, shes got a heart like a sad song
Shes got a heart like a sad song

White Picket Fence
i've cut off the curls
I shaved half my face
Became half the man you asked to replace.
I'm willing to save you
You said you're worth saving
But half of my appetite's lost half it's craving
Stand in the mirror
That's me beside you
The one with the smile, the one who abides you.
Don't mind the madman
The killer, the lover
He's slowly fading one into the other.
Where is that white picket fence
That i painted myself in the late days of april?
Where are the daffodil mountians?
I know that they're somewhere around here by the garden.
You say that you're happy
Well you should know better
I see that you've sewn up that rip in your sweater
That some lover tore off you
That left you both shaking
That bled deep inside you the wound you'd forsaken
Where is that white picket fence
That i painted myself in the late days of april?
Where are the daffodil mountians?
I know that they're somewhere around here by the garden.
Don't fear i will save you
Don't shout you'll awaken
The corpse in the desert staked out beside you
I cut off his wing
And shaved half his face
But i thought that i saw his eyes...move

Its Not Heaven
(olivia newton-john/randy goodrum)
Heres your lunch money
You better hurry for the old school bus
Did you clean your teeth this morning
I know you hate it when I start to fuss
Heres the letter for your teacher
Your dinners in the freezer
Five minutes in the microwave
Dont wait for me this evening
Im probably working late
Your dad is coming over
With his new lover
And I dont wanna be around
So Im gonna do some shopping
Ill buy you those stockings
Ill be back in half an hour
Oh its my anticipation
Thered be a confrontation
I know how much it breaks your heart
Lets be pleased for him--hes trying
To make a brand new start
Its not heaven but its all weve got
You have to understand it
I wanted ozzie and harriet
With a picket fence around it
But that was all an illusion
Now were living in reality
But were gonna have a happy ending--you and me
Well spend the weekend playing
I hope it wont be raining
When we go to the game with dan
I know you think hes boring
But this time dont ignore him
Wont you give him half a chance
No hes not as fun as dad
But theres good as well as bad
In hanging on to yesterday
Im not trying to replace him
Guess Im really trying to say
Its not heaven but its all weve got
You have to understand it
I wanted ozzie and harriet
With a picket fence around it
But that was all an illusion
Now were living in reality
But were gonna have a happy ending--you and me
Together I know well survive
Rebuild our lives together
One day at a time
Its not heaven but its all weve got
You have to understand it
I wanted ozzie and harriet
With a picket fence around it
But that was all an illusion
Now were living in reality
But theres gonna be a happy ending
Wait and see
Yes theres gonna be a happy ending
For you and me
You better hurry for the old school bus

When I drove my Mercedes Benz
due to snow through a picket fence,
in the town of Detroit
but no airbag deployed.
I haven't seen winter snow since.

Reality of you...
The heart is of such fragile make
in wants and love it has no refrain
the head can temper, but only so
and can do nothing really to stop the pain
the pain of hearing you just wont do
I've decided that part of my life is through
and picket fence and man all I need
but your my friend, despite your greed
your greed of wanting me for a love
even if you try your best
and hold my image close to your heart
Its time to realize you were never a part
a part of what I wanted in life
your love was nothing more than a vice
and I turn away at last to that
and walk the straight road, your heart my doormat.

Marriage Is...
Making those dreams of a white picket fence come true
Having a hand to hold
Changing your last name
Not always agreeing, but always working it out
Knowing everything about someone and loving them anyway
Having a grocery shopping partner
Sitting on the front porch complaining about the noisy hooligans next door
Building a relationship with your best friend

The way it is.
Is so beautiful
My life is bright like the sun
I wish I could run
I like to be
You and me
We play all day
It's so great to me
It's like a piece of paper
Running from the sands
Why my life is so good
My life is like a picket fence
Running from here to there
Oh why is it not fair
To be left here
Away in the sand?
I like to be
A wishing star
Come from afar
To that big lamp in the sun.

If you don't like the president, it costs you 90 bucks to fly to Washington to picket. If you don't like the governor, it costs you 60 bucks to fly to Albany to picket. If you don't like me, 90 cents.

Over There
The fence is long and high where we love
You cant see the other side where they live
Ive spied with my little eye
And Ive sighed with my little sigh
But it seems Ive give all that I can give
Every hour I have to count to ten
And a thousand times Ive thought again
But it seems Ive given all that I can give
Is there anyone there
Here is the fence that they built
{over there}
This is the fence that hate built
Is anyone there
{over there}
This is the fence that turns one into two
I want to break through but Im though if I do
Ive tried with my little try
And Ive cried with my little cry
But it seems that the gate holds the only clue
Every hour I have to count to ten
And a thousand times Ive though again
But it seems Ive given all that I can give
Is there anyone there
Here is the fence that they built
{over there}
This is the fence that hate built
Is anyone there
{over there}
[brilliant solo from stan the man]
Every hour I have to count to ten
And a thousand times Ive thought again
Is there anyone there
Here is the fence that they built
{over there}
This is the fence that hate built
Is anyone there
{over there}
Is there anyone there
Here is the fence that they built
{over there}
This is the fence that hate built
Is anyone there
{over there}
But it seems Ive give all that I can give
Is there anyone there
Here is the fence that they built
{over there}
This is the fence that hate built
Is anyone there

A Better Moment
there has never been a better moment
for it is silent
in the isolation is born the seeds of creativity
inspired by the passion for need
a hemisphere contained by the white picket fence
and a garden of words, to reach beyond the sphere of a world we know
boundaries lost, by a driven ambition
simpler days, humbled by the greatness of an oasis
there has never been a better moment

Many shapes of desire
I cannot befriend who all I admire.
I cannot woo who all I befriend.
I cannot hold who all I woo.
I cannot mate who all I hold.
The one I get is none of them..
