the white whale's coming
old ben ain't dead
there a sick bee humming
all through your head
  jostle it around,
will it come out?
sit on the ground
maybe i can help

#2
heil the fourth reich
the 5-0 got mike
he's down and out
and all about
but that's okay
there'll be another day
and when that day dawns
will hope be gone,
or will the cat be back
with a big mac attack?

#3
like humphrey bogart
in neon shades
life goes on
a turn of the page

rich-pa: you know what's scary? i actually made some sense out of that... i like the way you numbered the stanzas... very suave    anyway.. good work... and i'll be sure to keep an eye out for that cat that's after my big mac *locks his burger-vault tight*

sincerely,
jerome the melancholy priest

 Disarm you with a smile
And leave you like they left me here
To wither in denial
The bitterness of one who's left alone

the numbering worked out i guess, but it was supposed to be seperate poems...i might leave them as a whole though...jerome, i figured you could make some sense out of it...i made perfect sense out of them, they do have meaning

Well, as much as I liked this, I have no idea what the meaning is. Maybe you and jerome need to be locked in the "burger vault" together so you won't be loose on the streets. (joking, of course)Cool.

Ahh... I like your random babbalings. It shows a artistic form of creativity. Good job.

i'll run ya'll the dl on the gist of the poems there

the white whale's coming
old ben ain't dead
there a sick bee humming
all through your head
  jostle it around,
will it come out?
sit on the ground
maybe i can help

the white whale is moby dick, old ben is the bear from william faulkner's the bear.  the sick bee is a corruption.  'nuff said.  i'm helping the person

heil the fourth reich
the 5-0 got mike
he's down and out
and all about
but that's okay
there'll be another day
and when that day dawns
will hope be gone,
or will the cat be back
with a big mac attack?

first two lines are inspired by a friend who had just gotten a ticket..it was all inspired by him, 'cause he was bummed about it...i then painted a little message of hope using a big mac and that song "the cat came back, the very next day, oh the cat came back, they thought he was a goner..."  oyu know the song

like humphrey bogart
in neon shades
life goes on
a turn of the page

now i know humphrey didn't wear neon shades but it sounded goood so  went with it.

ok? good
