Christmas (from Mother Goose)

Christmas is coming, the geese are getting fat,
Please to put a penny in an Old man's hat;
If you haven't got a penny, a ha'penny will do,
If you haven't got a ha'penny, God bless you.

Golf "Get-Away." (Heaven!)

Single malt. (Early? Not!)

Food. (Caviar, anyone?)

Fantasy petite sleeping garments. (Yes!)

Genuine fashion handbag. (NO!)

Ho-Ho-Ho, Honey! This shopping must stop!

Time to cut up my Mastercard!

Hours mean no more or less than years.
A moment is a point with no dimension.
People count to undermine their fears,
Persuaded numbers lead to comprehension.
Yet time is an illusion of our motion,
No realer than the rising of the sun.
Each line we draw rests on a restless ocean,
Way, way beyond the scope of more than One.
Years do not begin and never end
Except for purposes of calibration.
A need to share our yearnings, friend to friend,
Requires just one point of celebration.

by Nicholas Gordon

Isn't our poor planet degenerating fast?
The opinions are phony; fearsome tortures climb;
So many tyrannies in our poisoned past;
And nonsense conspiracies, none so sublime.
Life, if possible, discloses no ebony end,
Encased in a once forgotten gunnery.
And orphanhood stories for no hero friend,
Pained, none merrier, on one final journey.
You treasure recruits for all their worth;
Each time one dies, we smell a bouquet.
And how much time do we have on earth?
Remember not to waste that extra day.

HEART, WE WILL FORGET HIM
by Emily Dickinson

Heart, we will forget him,
You and I, tonight!
You must forget the warmth he gave,
I will forget the light.

When you have done pray tell me,
Then I, my thoughts, will dim.
Haste! 'lest while you're lagging
I may remember him!

TUMMY, WE WILL FORGET HER

Tummy, we will forget her,
You and I, at the dinner.
You must avoid the meal she cooked,
I will, my lightweight wiener.

Her highly-tight sweet hollow
Feebly feasting on my platter,
Highlighting a mouth salivating...
Oh, I may remember her!

AIR [from "HAIR"]
by Galt MacDermot, Gerome Ragni and James Rado

Welcome! sulphur dioxide
Hello! carbon monoxide
The air, the air
Is everywhere

Breathe deep, while you sleep
Breathe deep

Bless you, alcohol bloodstream
Save me, nicotine lung steam
Incense, incense
Is in the air

Breathe deep, while you sleep
Breathe deep

Cataclysmic ectoplasm
Fallout atomic orgasm
Vapor and fume
At the stone of my tomb
Breathing like a sullen perfume
Eating at the stone of my tomb

Welcome! sulphur dioxide
Hello! carbon monoxide
The air, the air
Is everywhere

Breathe deep, while you sleep
Breathe deep

Deep, deep, deep, cough cough!

SEX ["Aah! A Memorable Mouthful!"]
by Arthur Reeve Cockhammer, Heather Aurea Breathehole and Matthew O'Macho-Momma

Welcome! Sensuality
Hello! Abnormality
It's sex, it's sex
That she selects

Go deep, 'Fore I sleep
So deep

Bless you, timely erection
Cure me, from this infection
Intense, pretense
(Aah! I do care!)

Go deep, 'Fore I sleep
So deep

Pornographic publication,
Unadulterated copulation,
Give me wild head;
Libido in my bed,
Vibrator here, ultra-hot red,
Erotic buggery in my bed!

Welcome! Weird variety
Hello! Odd feminity...
No warm rejects;
We all need sex!

Go deep, I'm a creep;
So deep!

Bleep, bleep, bleep, enough, enough! [Ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!]

TEQUILA SUNRISE
by the Eagles

It's another tequila sunrise
Starin' slowly 'cross the sky, said goodbye
He was just a hired hand
Workin' on the dreams he planned to try
The days go by

Ev'ry night when the sun goes down
Just another lonely boy in town
And she's out runnin' 'round.

She wasn't just another woman
And I couldn't keep from comin' on
It's been so long
Oh, and it's a hollow feelin' when
It comes down to dealin' friends
It never ends

Take another shot of courage
Wonder why the right words never come
You just get numb
It's another tequila sunrise, this old world
Still looks the same,
Another frame, mm...

Don Henley and Glenn Frey's
TEQUILA SUNRISE

You will need:
- Two shots of the smoothest tequila
- Unsweetened orange juice
- Dash of grenadine

Pour the tequila (No, no, no, no! Wait! Don't swallow it yet, bombed shameless lush!) then the juice in a glass with ice.

Stir.

Add the grenadine very briskly by just making it run down the back side of a non-standard flat-handled wooden spoon as redness will sink to the bottom then rise slowly through the drink.

The maneuver's now over.

Garnish with stirrer, straw, cherry (No, no, no, no! NOT "sherry," you monstrous, mammoth sot!) and orange slice.

Enjoy the mouthwash, souse!

Second Amendment to the US Constitution

"A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed."

Ere free intent
Hear bigoted gent.
Yea, dodge a bullet;
Grab a musket.

Oafish to trifle
with a rifle.
Charlton Heston, please
Simply rest in peace.
