    when two, in conspiratorial union,

    shall lay forth their deceitful plan

    seeking by unvirtuous means to multiply their fortune

    the twain shall not err again

    two be 0, or nought to be

    that which is me

    no longer will be

    in this particular assembly

    all that i am

    all that i see

    all will be lost forever

    but each and every molecule

    shall live on for eternity

    becoming a part of one thing or another

    every atom of my existence has always been

    will always be

    but never again reassemble

    in the form that is me

    o' what foul and malodorous spell

    hath caused my former self to pale

    to sink, to drown

    'neath murdrous wave

    so many enemies carry to my grave

    no friends around, my soul to save

    could be id have better fared

    to keep my peace

    my soul unbared

    to countenance ignorance

    embrace the fool

    who learns but little

    untaught in school

    o so many years ive wasted

    unselfish fruits ive never tasted

    who cares i stand my moral ground

    when the mean and deceitful do abound

    and rule the ways with greedy hand

    til grace and good nature must be bann'd

    so carry me deep thou baleful wave

    i gladly embrace your watery grave

    if you would but examine a single grain of sand,
    with open heart and inquiring mind
    look long and well, i'm sure you would find
    more beauty, more truth,than in every volume ever written by man

    once upon a midnight tripping, while some beer i sat there sipping

    many a pint of forgotten coors

    while i got potted, nearly slipping, slipping to my dirty floor

    came a dripping, as i go tripping, dripping on my dirty floor

    tis my tumbler i did mumble, dripping on my dirty floor

    only this and nothing more

    ah, distinctly i dismembered, that foul defective tumbler, and threw it on my dirty floor

    a fly without wings

    is yet still a fly

    he cannot get aerborne

    but still he must try

    there once was a caretakers daughter

    who showed off her pretty red garter

    to every boy she did happen to meet

    for gifts with her beauty did barter

    but in the end it was they who had got her

    an ending so utterly sweet

    for her charm it soon failed her

    her wit not availed her

    and now she sleeps alone in the street

    let not thine past associations

    make a shambles of thy future

    the day is new and fresh

    and eternity lies ahead of thee

    the crash would be most violent

    in forest or in park

    the florist would be silent

    but the tree would likely bark

    internet chess crash

    they came to game but the gamings done
    twil not return fore the setting sun
    so they mix with compatriots as lost as they
    killing time in the night and day
    o this sad and motley knot of men
    who but complain let the games begin.
    board warriors, one all all,
    but bored warriors who bemoan the fall
    of the tie that binds them, one and all.
    and with the rising of the sun,
    a new day of boarddom has not begun.
    off they go to their minor deeds
    while restlessly wait their bishops and steeds.
    peace is uneasy for warriors bent
    on carnage and destruction of the innocent
    ones who dare to be in the way,
    when these board warriors come to play.

    there was a young man from nantucket.....

    who carried his chess set in a bucket
    he played with much pride
    put his business aside
    slung pawns and knights with much fervor
    one day caught a ride
    to a town on the side
    of a roaring and raging wild river
    it was there that he spied
    a young starryeyed
    fair maiden with skin
    like goose liver
    he got on his knees
    he was eager to please
    and win the fair maidens good favor
    but surely you jest
    you only love chess!
    said the lady with so much displeasure
    ill not quit the game
    ive achieved so much fame
    my chess set is my greatest treasure
    so youve spurned my attempt
    to love you, you imp
    you are jealous of whats in my bucket
    now heres my reply
    ill now let it fly
    heres my bucket
    fair lady goodbye
    can you duckit?

    look here he said
    look in the back of my truck
    what do you think
    of the mother and her pups
    so cute said i and sweet
    then take them all he said
    or i will throw them in the street
    i have no fence to keep them in
    they will wander straight away
    and be eaten by coyotes
    wont last more than a day
    i do not care said the man, with heart as hard as stone
    i shall put them out by the side of the road
    and then they are on their own
    such cruelty, so commonplace
    and to flaunt it in my very face
    how much more must i endure
    to have a heart
    to play the part
    makes me the utter fool
    despise me for my poverty
    despise me cause i care
    but to live among such cruel folk
    is more than i can bear
    everything i do and nearly all ive spent
    i do for the sake not of myself
    but of the innocent
    creatures who have no where to go
    no man to call their friend
    where do the heartless people grow
    and will it ever end
    how can i turn these dogs away
    to die a cruel death
    i work and care while others pray
    i try with my last breath
    i watch with wonder all the Christian folks
    who kneel with earnest prayer
    then take these helpless harmless ones
    and drop them here and there
    if there is a God who made us all
    i hope he wakens soon
    and takes these heartless thoughtless folks
    and strands them on the moon
    how haughty are they when they say
    in Gods image were we made
    when all around lie the innocents
    Gods creatures that they slayed

    just rambling, but.....




    didnt mean to

    startle you

    its just that

    i feel i know you

    no

    i have never seen you

    but your words strike

    to the very core of my being

    yes, i'm gruff

    rough and unpolished

    and will remain so til the end

    but you

    are one i could call my friend

    i think

    at least so it seems

    you see

    i am not lonesome

    but i have been alone so very long

    and i can remain alone

    it is peaceful for me

    but i heard you say

    you are tired of being alone

    and when you described your desires

    i felt you were describing me

    i'm not so good in social situations

    people get on my nerves

    but for that one special person

    all my attention would i give

    and ignore the universe

    i dont like crowded places

    but i have space inside my heart

    for the one who could be true to me

    and never let us part

    i dont want to be popular

    friends just let me down

    but if you are who i think you are

    i need noone else around

    please talk to me

    in private

    give it half a chance

    it could blossom into friendship

    and grow into romance

    i took a walk

    to lose myself

    in the desert pure and clean

    the beauty that surrounded me

    was the greatest i have seen

    but as i gazed into the sky

    my heart was filled with dread

    for circling there

    in crystal air

    buzzards above my head

    but i am young and healthy

    except perhaps my mind

    it cannot be they are here for me

    i will look until i find

    and so i looked

    and so i found

    a figure crooked

    and lying on the ground

    a man of age

    much greater than my own

    his blanket was an army coat

    his pillow was a stone

    and all around him on the ground

    were nuggets of pure gold

    he spoke to me with labored breath

    as he struggled to delay his death

    "look upon me son with scorn

    for here i lie and wait to die,

    much poorer than i was born"

    how can this be, i ask of thee, with gold nuggets all around?

    "wealth worth having isn't found

    in things that are dug up from the ground"

    "just this one thing, please learn from me

    this truth that i have found

    then take these nuggets and deposit them with me,

    in a hole in this very ground"

    he squeezed my hand,

    looked in my eyes

    in his, reflection of sky

    "take heed of me and what you see,

    take heed before i die"

    "to you i say

    it would be worth the pain

    had i been loved but for a day

    if only i could have known real love

    i would not have lived in vain"
