Bringing Home the Bacon
Bringing home the bacon
can be heavier than it sizzles up to be.
I’m glad that it’s not up to me.
Many Places Like Home
They say there’s no place like home.
But I’ve found many places that are like home.
I just haven’t found the place that is home.
Using Me
This kind of treatment
has got to stop.
It’s not fair.
You’re only using me
on your climb to the top
(of the chair).
The Worst Feeling Of All
When you feel worse when you thought you’d feel better–
that’s the worst feeling of all.
It’s when you close your eyes, spread your arms to fly,
that you can’t break your own fall.
You’ll Be Sorry
Being angry won’t make you sorry,
so I’m done being angry now.
And when you’re sorry, you’ll be sorry,
and I will kill the fattened cow.
When I Lose All Hope In Humanity
When I lose all hope in humanity,
I’m glad I’m not a humanist.
Because then I’d be losing my religion,
and that would be a big decision.
When I lose all hope in humanity,
I feel more human and humanitarian.
Humans are stupid and they’ll prove that it’s true.
But I know who I am and what I’ve got to do.
If a Few More People Volunteered
There are so many people in this world,
and so many choosing to have hope
that if we got ourselves into this mess
then we can get ourselves out of it.
And they want to believe that
there are plenty of ways out of it.
To each his or her own.
All roads lead home.
And I’d be willing to believe that, too,
if a few more people volunteered
to live a spotless life
and then to die to give it away.
Monogamously
To have and to hold,
which means just for me!
I love being married
monogamously.
I Eat Alone
Since you’re not home, I eat alone.
I multi-task (no time to waste!)
and miss out on how my food tastes.
Teach
Do we indoctrinate? Or preach?
