His Dog Is A Man's Best Friend

There is an old time saying that his dog is a man's best friend
That too should apply to women for why should we pretend

A Memory From Puck Fair

With wavy brown shoulder length hair i recall her name was Joaney
A member of the travelling clan she looked so fit and active

Those Cruel To Animals

Those cruel to animals can be cruel to people they find their pleasure on inflicting pain
For cruelty to the cruel is a power thing gratification from seeing their victims suffer they gain
Cruel people they have lost their human compassion the window to their soul shaded to light
They even are bordering on the psychotic in distinguishing on what is wrong from right,

A Good Sport

His best ever finish is a seventeenth place
And 'tis likely now he'll never win any race
He goes by the nickname of 'the unplaced athlete'
But the main thing about him is that he does compete

What Others Think Of You

What others think of you is their business if you worry of you what they say
Then you may as well live like a hermit and from the World hide yourself away
For people they will talk about you and flaws in you they are bound to find
Some seem to thrive on idle chatter their own business they cannot mind

There is not a hereafter that's how to me it does seem
But last night i did have this terrible dream
That i was in hell and i crying out in pain
With George W Bush and with Saddam Hussein.
