Such a bird I never saw,
The raven on the wire,
That croaked caw, caw.
Blacker than any,
...
Swirling around in the desert sky,
Where not even the ravens choose to fly.
Down off the mountains in a furious gale,
Darkening the desert sky so pale.
...
It happens to all, in this life we lead,
When someone we love and care for, goes to seed.
They suffer in agony sometimes for years,
And you see it all through bitter tears.
...
There was a dead bird on the grass,
Next to the sidewalk.
It's life had fled, somewhere up high,
Higher than it could ever have hoped to fly,
...
A cajun that lived in a bog,
Would eat every night like a hog.
Alligators and snakes,
But he never ate cakes,
...
Little rocks, big rocks, of a thousand kind.
Pretty little treasures, I happened to find.
Diorite, Serpentenite, Quartz, and Sandstone,
Found in the Mojave for my very own.
...
Funny the stuff that courses through
My demented brain
The electrical impulses must be shorting out
This late in life.
...
I love a gay man, with all my heart.
I've always loved him, from the very start.
Since he was a child, I always knew,
When he would come to me, and ask what to do.
...
Dark clouds fill the sky,
It's a sad and gloomy day.
The wind and the rain, starting to fly,
The sun can't spare one single ray.
...
I love to go fishing everyday,
To the river or the lake.
Up in the morning without delay,
I go fishing soon as I wake.
