    Give me more of that,
    what was it called: Haggis?
    Not half bad, me Laird!

    Some of us laugh
    Some of us cry
    Some of us smoke
    Some of us lie
    But it's all just the way
    that we cope with our lives...

    Squeeze that bag of pipes again
    Do they need tuning?

    Or

    Not half bad, me Laird!
    The smell of earth fills my soul
    Land that reaches sky

    Land that reaches sky,
    rocket wisps that trail terror
    as man-made thunder.

    (since everone else is doing it)

    as man-made thunder
    cleaves unholy sinners' seats,
    chairs collapse with groans.

    chairs collapse with groans,
    iron-thought sages in grass
    pretzel legs and mulch.

    pretzel legs and mulch
    with number minds the tickling
    of nature's frayed thread.
    and somehow a dog
    has taken itself & its tail considerably away
    into the mountains or sea or sky, leaving
    behind: me, wag.

    The breath in your lungs
    The blood in your veins, like life,
    Struggling to be free
    Faith is believing what you know ain't so - Mark Twain

    The preachers deal with men of straw, as they are men of straw themselves - Henry David Thoreau

    The way to see faith is to shut the eye of reason - Benjamin Franklin

    I just want to be myself

    Cool

    Singing in the breeze
    without a care in the world;
    oh, what happiness!

    oh, what happiness!
    it is to murder your dreams
    and to live on air

    Exclamation

    and to live on air,
    would be simple yet tasteless—
    I savor my food...
    Some of us laugh
    Some of us cry
    Some of us smoke
    Some of us lie
    But it's all just the way
    that we cope with our lives...

    I savor my food...
    Humm, I shall go prepare some;
    Substantial repast.

    Substantial repast
    for the elephant that is
    in waiting to mate
