I'm Gonna Catch ~Hell~
~*Marge Tindal*~

If things keep on the way they're going
there's one thing that I'm sure on knowing
Ripping and racing,I cannot quell
this eventual collision
I'm gonna catch ~Hell~

Careening around the corner
Stuck in second gear
When ~Hell~ comes whizzing past
I'll catch up with it - don't fear

Watch out folks
Horns are blaring
Loud and long the blast
has almost got me swearing

A whirling, twirling dynamo
Twisting and shouting with squeals
A three year old in his new race car
I'm chasing ~Hell On Wheels~

Evasive maneuver in his eyes
He smiles with such appeal
Gives me that knowing little wink
I know I've just caught ~Hell~

 I think I could need - this in my life
I think I'm just scared - that I know too much
I can't relate and that's a problem
I'm feeling ...
If you're gone - maybe it's time to go home
There's an awful lot of breathing room
But I can hardly move
If you're gone - baby you need to come home
cuz there's a little bit of something me...
In everything in you.

Instantly, I remember HELLS BELLS by AC/DC, I dunno why, but I do...

nice work, marge, as usual...

RIDE far into the sun,
FORGET the hell, sweet one,
LET fear not be feared,
MAY no stone to upturn be spared...

LITTLE three year olds are fine,
PIECES of gold, diamond, they do shine,
PET them, pamper them, give them love,
A day will come, when they will repay you, by jove!!!

HAVE lots of fun, Marge,
Regards, sudhir.


 My heart is pounding, my stomach's inside out
I'm feeling kind-a-shaky, my mind is full of doubt
All I ever think about, is fearing fear itself,
Wish I could unscrew my head and put it on the shelf
Everything is twisted, everything is oh so tight,
Don't know what I'm looking at, the lights are all too bright
My brain's about to crumble, spill out on the floor
Sweep 'em up. Throw 'em away, don't want 'em anymore
Clouds race across the sky, day turns into night,
Still there are the questions, no answers in sight
Everything is twisted, everything is oh so tight,
Starin' out the window, everything is just too bright
Brain's about to crumble, spill out on the floor,
Wish I could unscrew my head, and kick it out the door...
You know I'm feeling kind-a....Strange
You know I'm feeling kind-a....Strange

Marge our very own Easy Rider cruising on the wheels of hell. That was a hell of a poem. Continue to ride the poetic highway Marge. It is a pleasure to see in the readers side car and be taken on an amazing journey.

enough with the biker cliches. lol

great poem.

Ready for another ride Marge????????  Like I have always said...Drive it like you stole it    This is very cute indeed

 It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone, an hour to like someone, a day to love someone, but it takes a lifetime to forget someone.

Never Surrender


This track of mine
And limited time
A house of rules and tortures
Banking all the corners

Escape the giant
Mission defiant
The cat is a thrill
Near miss road kill

Shift to second gear
My time is near
To bed and tear
Evade the giant, I'm clear

Nitrous treat
A boost for defeat
Screams of victory
Hiding with trickery

Make no sound
Giant steps pound
Never surrender
I'm hell's defender

There's no escape
I'm bound with fate
Lifted with love
Placed in a sleepers glove

Thanks, hon.  
Easy to relate to isn't it ?
They are so adorable when they are
