Tue, December 14, 2004 - 12:36 PMWhile work sucks, it does give one something to write poetry about. Oh yeah, and food, sometimes, too. -

Tue, December 14, 2004 - 1:01 PMExcept when I try to tell that to my muse,
I have to deal with her abuse.
No, she insists I stay at home
and worship her upon her throne.
She feeds upon my suffering
No matter what my offering
Perhaps she will be satisfied
When I am finally crucified. -

Wed, December 15, 2004 - 6:33 PMin those long dreary hours they call marriage
I long for some relief that can carry
me through to another brighter day
then I think about what made me this way
it wasnt my wife
who stays with me day and night
it wasnt her love
or anything she had done
she loves me in her own way
and I her much the same
we are each other strength
the costs we still pay
when I look back at on this dreary marriage
I realise its not the marriage at all
my salvation is in that carriage
its outside the marriage I drop the ball -

Wed, December 15, 2004 - 9:28 PMMadness waits for me
Like a groom waits for his bride
and here I come all dressed in white
wagging my tail behind me
like some stupid bitch
comin' on down at The Price is Right
Hoping to get rich.
Well, what can I say?
I know it's not that way
but any day now
I'll flip my lid and take my vow.
Then the doves get released
and liberty is increased
Perhaps my vanity will be
my dowery
and on my wedding night
he'll tie me up in lace
say grace
and devour whats left of my identity
and I will not be
the same
and I'll take his name
and our children
will free the world.
