Moon wave

 The dogs were howling because the moon was broke

And everyone thought the sun was a joke

But I knew better and knew it a yoke

Of an egg on Easter day

But should I say?

Oh should I heck!

How many have died or broke their neck

Trying to climb the ladder to laugh and play

When they got egg on their face

No, space

Is not the place for me

I'd rather stay humble, on bended knee

And celebrate just being me

born on Christmas day

(I wasn't by the way)

That was just for dramatic effect

To end the poem

In a convenient way

Now it's ended

I think

Anyway

History

 History isn't even a thing

If you don't remember

What someone else is yelling

It's just like a dream

Of Goya's scream

Or perhaps it's a beautiful thing

You can paint it as you wish

For it's just a dish

Set for the eating

You sit down to dine

With lamb and fine wine

But you find yourself repeating

History isn't really a thing

It's just a memory painting

All there is is now

So let's start living

Edelweiss the gangster

 Edelweiss, Edelweiss

I'm not good and half as nice

Look at me in my clothes of vice

Edelweiss, Edelweiss

Possession

 Once when I was young

I once had a love,

A love all of my own

But then a storm came along

And swallowed my song

And now I am all alone

The love in the trees

The birds know the breeze

The song of the wind they own

But their love has wings

And it does sing

Of song all on its own

I knew about the bees

And have sold many fleas

In the market of the lost souls

Who sweetly pass the day

Making their hay

Singing of the nothing they own

WolfAlice

 Wolf Alice, Wolf Alice

What's it all about?

Got a bullet in your shirt

It's gonna make you shout

Crying out loud with the

Pain of the world

Well you cry like a wolf

But you're just a little girl

Shoot me from your wigwam

Shoot at me through the trees

There's plenty of lice on Alice's knees

Got a gun, got a sun

And whole row of fleas

All jumping around

your sandcastles by the seas

Wolf Alice I love ya

You're gonna make me bleed

All the way to Alabama with

Your mouth full of greed

return your red coat to the fire

Wolf Alice you were trapped

By one man's desire

I should have held your hand 

as you walked through the wood

But I was just a wolf not a Robin Hood

I should have delivered you safe 

to your grandma's house

But instead I ate her up

Now I feel such a louse

My mother always told me

Not to carry a loaded gun

But now when I look at her

I think that I'm not her son

I'm a failure as a man

And I never made it as a wolf

I hope you understand

Or is it that you needed proof?

I should eat my ham

And shoot my bears

But I'm in a wigwam

Full of my own cares

Well they're looking to me

To fill in the black gap

But I'm lost in the wood

And I don't have a map

I should've been born a wolf

But I was only born a man

Now there's a big gulf

Between what I want and 

what I am

Burn me with your fire

Hurt me with your stakes

It was all my own desire

That made my mistakes

I've got ruby red shoes

I stole from a witch

And poisonous potion

That's making me itch

I start to grow hairs

On the end of my nose

And I keep climbing the stairs

And taking off my clothes

Shoot me once inside the temple

I've come here to prey

Because I don't like the hemp oil

Now I've fallen in love 

With a fallen Angel

She flies like a dove

Just as the bells toll

 

Quack a day duck

 Well someone said hey

And I said duck

What! Watch out!

It's a submersible, fuck!

So Quack away

Come on Quack away

The flippers kick fast

But it's smooth on top

So come on Quack, Quack

Around New Zealand

The times may come that it's hard to say

Come on Quack away, oh Quack away

It's all just water off a duck's back

So let's Quack, Quack

Around New Zealand

A tufty tail

And a beak that Quacks

Quack away, come on Quack away

You could be a Quaker or you could be a Crack

Come on Quack, Quack 

around New Zealand

Well it's jus de l'orange

Or it's crispy or chop sui

Quack away, come on Quack away

You might talk strange

But I think it's phooey

Quack, Quack around New Zealand

I think I need a doctor

For I've hurt my back

Come on Quack away, yes Quack away

But they give me a witch doctor 

who talks like a Quack

So Quack, Quack around New Zealand 

Flowers

 Well I brought you flowers in the morning

And I brought you flowers in the day

Well I brought you flowers

because of their special powers

I thought that they might make you stay

Well I brought you flowers in the evening

And I brought you flowers in the day

Well I brought you flowers

In the night time hours

Because I thought that they might make you stay

My heart is like a clock winding down

It keeps chiming for your love in town

Well time keeps slipping away 

like the sand in the bay

And I keeping trying 

to take your hand to make you stay

But the tide washes the shore

And I can't see our footprints anymore

And I hope with these flowers 

you'll understand that these hours

Are like the love that I pour on you every day

Well the flowers stand wilting in the vase

And the sand washes away in the bay

But in the evening hours

In the evening hours

I keep bringing you flowers

Trying to say that I wanted you to stay

And this day, now it is done

And the sun in its way has shone, 

But tomorrow is another day

And my heart is full to the brim

It's being sung out in every hymn

And just like the sun 

It is going, going now it's gone

While your flowers keep

Growing in your vase
