Did you ever see a rat and a cat?
They just can’t get along
When oil and vinegar are related
They’re always separated

Can you lend me hand
To try and understand
Why we can’t get together
Why never say never?

A snowman with a suntan
What makes it oh so wrong
Or an alligator with a sunbather
It’s a one-sided savor

When a hawk comes a bluejay’s way
Is squawking a bird’s song
Give some candy to a baby
The survivor is no maybe

The rat and I will have to testify
Will I ratify
The rat and you will have to do that, too
Will you testify
Will you ratify

The cooks are in the kitchen
Smells like it won’t be too long
The scent gets me itchin’
For a savory holiday song

Takin’ a trip down memory lane
Do you want to remain
Or come along?

I feel that appetite
And, it’s coming on strong
Gonna try with all my might
Temptation don’t steer me wrong

(chorus)

What dish do you fancy
Something we have or you brought along
Maybe turkey with gravy
Dilute with moonshine… we all belong

(chorus)

From the heart
It’s coming through true
From the soul impart
The “thank you” you are do!

With a little stammer
“Take this hammer,”
He said,
“And, hit it with a hammer!”
Hit it with a hammer?
I didn’t understand the detail:
Nail the nail
I thought I was it
Bam! Impale
Hit it with a hammer
Like hitting yourself in the head with a hammer
It’s hard for me to feel the appeal
Where’s the glamour
… hit it with a hammer?

He did deliver
A screwdriver
Am I a believer?
Some how I misconstrued
Screw the screw
Now I’m screwed

Hit it with a hammer
“Hit the nail on the head”
Wish he would have said

This is intended to be a jam
Happening just right around the bend
In the very near future
Chances are large by the time you hear this
Unless you are light years away
And it takes more than a day
This is a jam in the key of the blues
A little improv. jam bordering on jazz?
Whoa! I don’t want to blow smoke up your ass
This ain’t no jazz
Just a lil’ improv. in the key of the blues
Now wouldn’t it be a real sin
TO throw a little Latin in
And what the heck
You might even say it’s a little Gaelic
Druid… fluent in fluid Druid
Wait! I though you said this is in the key of the blues?
Yes, it could be a sin to throw too much Latin in
I woke up this morning, and I got out of bed
And had to shake my head
I woke up this morning and got out of bed
(Which isn’t that unusual… not until I checked my head)
Then I said, what’s going on?
I gotta get my blues jam on
Get it on all day long
’nuff said
[the guitar does the talking]
Whoa! Playing the blues all morning
Into the evening
Working the blues
(I said,
I just can’t get that song out of my head)
The blues isn’t something
You can do in passing
No, no! Ya got to do it with some passion
You’ve got to do with your heart and soul
You know that takes its toll
[guitar talks with soul]
Careful you might catch the blues
The blues flues
Is going around
The blues flu
Coming through
Could effect you
It’s alright to get up and dance some, too
Shake those blues
At the end of the day
When there’s nothing to do you can say
… just couldn’t shake the blues
All day paying my dues
And tomorrow
Imagine the sorrow
That’s really blue
Nothing I could do
The evening blues
Nothing I could do
You work all day paying your dues
The everyday blues… turned into the night… into broad daylight
Alright
Though it may be dark out there
The light shines in here
Let the light shine on you
Pass through you and turn blue
Then do all the good you can do

Can you teach your old dog a new trick
Get him to fetch
Or sit, sit, sit?
How about if you said
“Roll over. Play dead.”
Do you think it’ll take
If you ask him to shake?

He’ll bring you joy
He’s such a good boy
(As long as he is sleeping)

If not your dog, how about your kitty
Can you get her to sit up pretty
Or get her to stay
As you walk away?
Or get her to come
So you can pet her some?

She’s your heart’s pearl
Oh, such a good girl
(As long as she’s sleeping)
Oh no… is her eye peeping?

You mean it doesn’t have to be so complicated
… as simple as that?

Here’s a list:
Does space exist?
Is the thought odd
Of sensing God?
Then how on Earth… or above…
Can I say, “God is love”?
… as simple as that?
You mean it doesn’t have to be so complicated
… as simple as that?

Imagine this…
Add it to the list:
Frictionless
You’re in space and just like that — SNAP!
Your tether goes snap
My suggestion:
Stick with friction
Friction saves your life every time it rains
Without friction the rain would go right through our brains!
Thus, avoid frictionless
… as simple as that?
You mean it doesn’t have to be so complicated
… as simple as that?

At first we started wondering why
The earth had become so dry
Jilted, wilted, parched and cracked
Not a drop of water as a matter of fact

Maybe we spoke to soon
Here comes a massive monsoon
Prepare to take a ride
On the mountain’s mudslide

This weather is as volatile
As a cross-eyed crocodile
Don’t mistake the rile
For a smile

Mother Nature going insane
Another psychopathic hurricane
I am whipped, beatin’ and slammed
Don’t know if I’m going home?

    LYRICS
    There’s a way
    A cold day
    Gets the season
    Underway
    Then, the glow
    Sunshine in the window
    Participant in the radiant
    With warmth, come to know

    The leaves left
    Leaving in the light
    Shadow’s theft
    Looming is the night
    Afterglow
    Lighting candles in a row
    Participant in the radiant
    With warmth come to know

    If time must transpire
    Might as well, light a fire
    Participants in the radiance
    If time must transpire
    By the light of the fire
    By a candle light’s glow
    With warmth come to know

    Keep going ’round ’til it’s found
    I’ve stopped
    Though not on top
    I’ll still be spinning 6′ down
    (In the ground)
    You bet
    A slightly shorter
    Trip
    But the orbit
    Hasn’t changed a bit
    The daily trip
    Shorter a bit
    The annual orbit
    Same ole’ habit
    Going ’round
    Just 6′ down
    So when I die
    If you’d try
    When I die…
    If you might
    A satellite
    Would be out-of-sight

    You’re good as gold
    Or so I’m told
    When your life’s goal
    Is growin’ old

    When going down the road
    If you lighten your load
    The toll of the total
    Is less brutal
    As a matter of fact
    You can’t get it back
    And, there’s really nothing that you lack

    When you reach your golden years
    Are you past your friggin’ fears
    Are you able to forget
    Skeletons in your closet
    Are there no more tears
    Not a regret
    Is your last chapter…
    Happily ever-after

    Candy floss clouds
    Overshadow the crowds
    Though no one seems to take note
    Like ants wearing pants
    Oblivious to us
    Living their life in the rote

    Though no one seems to take note
    Living their life in the rote
    Their faces looking down
    Their faces to the ground
    No leaders to be found
    Just followers all around
    No one seems to notice
    The erroneous
    Or the luscious us

    Does anybody see
    The good, the bad, the ugly
    Are we all blind to being kind
    Does any body care
    To give, to live, to share
    Have we all our friggin’ mind?

    Overheard
    Blue Jay, Blackbird
    When Red Tail sets sail
    You know
    The crow squawk
    At the sight of a hawk
    You know
    A murder of crow
    Raptor rapture
    It’s the real deal
    When the Blue Jay squeal
    Children — the meal
    Next on the menu
    Could be you

    Though it may sound absurd
    I overheard
    The word of the bird
    The fight of flight
    The scrambling of eggs
    Tender chicken legs
    Birds of a feather
    Flock together

    Started off as a normal score
    1, 2, 3
    As I waited patiently…
    4’s no more?

    The guy on the drum
    Wants to know “how come?”
    Throwing the bass off base
    Rhythm guitar hasn’t gotten that far
    For those who dance, why take a chance?
    Really?

    Is it a waltz for polka dolts
    At some traditional ball
    Um, a… samba, foxtrot… I think not
    Missed a beat. Admit defeat.

    Throw ’em off track

    Run them ’round in circles

    Imagination stimulation –> creation
    The possibility of maybe
    Envisioned dreams come true for you

    In the forest, fast
    Find fairies the best
    Forget the rest
    Pass Mother Nature’s test

    What will the field yield
    Butterflies surprise
    Wind wisped wonders
    As blue skies arise

    In the forest, fast
    Across a carpet of moss
    Where the gnome roam
    Saying, “there’s no place like home”

    There’s wisdom in the stream
    Can you see what I mean
    Go with the flow
    May consciousness grow

    Imagination stimulation –> creation
    The possibility of maybe
    Envisioned dreams come true for you

    Are you aware… you were there?

    ABOUT THE SONG

    Mark 15: The Soldiers Mock Jesus
    (16) The soldiers led Jesus away into the palace (that is, the Praetorium) and called together the whole company of soldiers. (17) They put a purple robe on him, then twisted together a crown of thorns and set it on him. (18) And they began to call out to him, “Hail, king of the Jews!” (19) Again and again they struck him on the head with a staff and spit on him. Falling on their knees, they paid homage to him. (20) And when they had mocked him, they took off the purple robe and put his own clothes on him. Then they led him out to crucify him.

    Drift on gravity’s draft
    Riff away fretless on a fret

    Catch my drift and get a lift
    Once you fly you’ll learn to sigh
    Ahhhh…

    In music… in music

    Soaring love of rain

    Survival on the verge of trouble
    Between the fittest and the hit-list
    We might find we pass the test
    … think it’s best?
    Think it’s best!

    Survival on the edge of rubble
    Between a rock and a hard place
    Stuck betwixt the human race
    … need some space?
    Need some space

    Survival of mankind on the ledge
    Have you heard of the herd mentality?
    Sooner of later… eventually
    Cliff diving
    Few surviving

    Is anybody upstairs
    Is anybody there
    Putting faith in nothing
    Anticipating something

    Though we’re spinning round and round
    We’re looking upward to be found
    Rotations never slowing down
    Going round and round

    The logic of God is odd
    Living for the approval nod
    Selfish expression of sole sacrifice
    Sugar and spice and everything nice

    Is a supernatural being
    Being natural at all?
    No touching, hearing or seeing
    Are you testing my gall?

    I can’t find the words to say
    It makes me want to holler
    No, I can’t find the words today
    Yet, collect another dollar

    No matter what I say you come through everyday
    No matter what I do… you come through
    It give me hope in humanity
    Helps me keep my sanity

    I wish the lyrics would come on quick
    Full of soul and wit
    I know once the thoughts start to flow
    Music will sway me to and fro

    You take my square peg writer’s block
    Out of my head’s round hole
    You help pull my soul
    With a tinge of ole’ folk rock

    ABOUT THE SONG
    I was sitting on the wall of the courthouse trying to write this song. No words were coming to the chords I was strumming. After about 45 minutes a lady approached me and said, “Thank you for your music. We were sitting behind you.” Then, she asked if she could give me money.

    LYRICS
    How hard to persuade
    Hate to fade… fade away
    (Fade away)

    In the morning, come clean from being so mean
    In the evening, calm down
    Find where the love is found
    How hard to persuade
    Hate to fade… fade away
    (Fade away)

    Can you explain why you’re causing so much pain
    How can you find joy in snatching a baby’s toy?
    How hard to persuade
    Hate to fade… fade away
    (Fade away)

    Miss “The Grinch That Stole Christmas”?
    Don’t you wanna know how large your heart can grow
    How hard to persuade
    Hate to fade… fade away
    (Fade away)

    Does any brain remain
    Certainly none sane
    Be sure to save a piece
    For understanding love and peace
    How hard to persuade
    Hate to fade… fade away
    (Fade away)

    I fall all over you
    There’s not much I can do
    It’s the season to fall for you

    Become aware there’s something in the air
    Make a memory to share
    You know we’ve got to let the summer go
    Before you know — snow
    (Yeah, here/hear we go)

    Open up the window
    I want to take in some more
    One thing’s for sure
    Open up the door lore
    I want to take in some more
    You know let’s go go-go
    Out the door and take in some more

    Building a building
    Meant to tear people down
    Name’s misleading
    There ain’t no justice in this town

    To the core they are rotten

    Take some time
    And dare to look around
    Reason… rhyme?
    Ask but can’t be found

    Lady liberty
    Well, she just can’t see

    Weighs just to the mighty

    From where I reside
    High above the landslide
    Watching the rising tide

    A calm comes over me
    Naturally, fell the be

    Rise with the sunrise
    Searching for surprise
    High from enterprise
    No matter the number of tries

    Along with Venus and Mars
    Pass between the stars
    Far beyond the wars

    ABOUT THE SONG
    Written at the corner of Gay and Church Streets in Chester County, West Chester, PA. When I started writing this song, a police officer that was driving by gave me the “hairy eyeball” instead of paying attention to where he was going. At the same time, a girl was walking across the crosswalk looking at her phone. We almost had one less police officer and one less pedestrian.
