Have you thought about
The other guy?
How does he feel about it?
When in Rome it is best
To do as the Romans
Or so they say
But what if it is wrong
What if the other guy
Is in fact not right
Knowing when to stay
And when to run is
Never an easy task
Some do it better
Than others.
One must feel sorry
For the first guy
In history to go through
Fifteen rounds of votes
To get his seat
Only to loose it
For acknowledging the other side
Best to the new guy
Another first for America
Three weeks without a speaker
The leader of the pack
Must be present in order
To conduct business
And pick a fight
With the big guy.
We almost had
A Tudor elected
To the third chair
Instead we got a guy
Born in Shreveport
A Russian town from
Way back
Whose family line
Include the names
Cash as in Johnny Cash
And Boogaert
As in Humphrey Bogart
Both bad boys
Who kept the line
And made others
Respect them
A fireman's son
Who is the better
A fireman or a police man?
I'm from a Forestry fire fighters
We always sigh when it starts
Entire acres on fire
But watching those single homes
Is never easy
Nor is a building going up
My siblings and I
Survived a number of close calls
Fires are not our friends.
Will someone go by
And arrest Jimmy
For me?
Please!
I might have to make him
Disappear.
There was this girl
In school who said
She was my best friend
She was supposed to be
Lesbian
But had already had a child
And got married afterwards
She made my life hell
In a school whose mascot
Was the Blue Devils
I went to live with my father
The Red Devils
Were their mascot
And they meet on the field
I always wanted to make
Cathy disappear
I just could not figure out
What to do with her body
I would sit in class
With her at my side
Again and dream
About how to get rid of her
A few times I missed
The Questions from the instructors
But it was just such a strong desire
To be rid of her for good.
I have that same feeling
For jimmy who has outlived
His usefulness
For all those who still use
Him for themselves.
All the harm in the world
Women who want other women
To suffer for no reason
Except for being born.
No one believes a six year old
Gave birth to a baby
But there you are
A dozen surfaced
The same year
My sister died
Cruel and vindictive
Wish Isreal had not been
Abandoned by the Crusaders
Nor the current ones had not
Thought of life
Outside the box
Some neighbors always
Have it in for you.
As for the other guy
He just wants to kill
His enemy and wants
Everyone to do what he wants
Without questioning the true motives.
Sadly there are children
Who will never grow up
Nor parents who will ever
Get a chance to see
Thier own succeed
Due to an early death.
