I knew when we checked in
I'd be glad to check out again
Quite frankly, after a long drive
The car tried to steer away from that dive
After a couple beers or more
Our expectations flew right out the door
Expedia.com didn't show a picture of this place
So Johnnny felt like he had egg on his face
Wait for the pending busload of bums
To pick over the remaining slums
Room 149
It wasn't divine
Til Morgan showed up with his rums.

Title: Christmas Interruptis.

Wandering aimlessly, lost in a field
I couldn't remember if your letter was sealed
A wave of emotion surged through my torso
The King wanted less, but the Queen thought more-so
Mockingbirds sang to the light in the east
While turkeys were roasting, for the big feast
Abruptly aborted, the plan was not hatched
Christmas Interruptis, the ball was not catched
The Queen, in a rage, ate a platefull of cheese
While mice in the den put on the squeeze
Chaos did erupt, like volcanoes on crack
Yearning and burning, I'll give it a smack
Intensely deficient, we searched endlessly
Using some scotch and some gin, and mixing blendlessly
The edges came loose, the seams pulled away
My clothes don't fit me, too much sorbet
"Hey man, take a left, there's a cop on the right"
So, stay out of jail, and to all, a good night!

Sum of the Parts.

I tied my shoes and set out on my way
On the surface, it seemed like any other day
Until I discovered the maze I was in
Bodies that once seemed fat, now a bit thin
Without a clock we waited for the sun
Everyone agrees that it's time for some fun
So let down your hair and shake it up
Share the same bed at night and in the morn the same cup
When two become one it's something real
Equations aren't always something you feel
How can you predict the sum of the parts
Perhaps you'd like to join the Queen for some tarts
Her minstels' notes floating through the air
It's all ferris wheel music at the County Fair.

Snick snack paddy wack, give your dog a bone from the body that's been stuck under your bungalow mansion built on a gold mine near the scene that was thrown by your crazy uncle. He was the first person to show why we ought not attempt to walk on coals when s'mores are roasting. More or less you do what you got a mind of your own to get done, like collecting Marie Osmond dolls or signing up for every medical research lab you can until the pressure floors you and birds make nests in places we didn't know existed. It's almost time to plan your funeral, so pick a coffin with stereo. In one ear and out your mother's brother. Why is there a poker in my eye that burns like a stomach ache begotten of spices from India ground by Gandhi in an alley full of giants rats.
Sororities and frats know the meaning of party. They found the definition on a bathroom wall. Don't be ascared of the person in the closet who knows all your secrets like a fly on cow dung. The meaning of life for you, as a person, is questionable; a theory that needs to be peeled through by layers. Onions and opinions, everyone gots 'em, jetsam and flotsam, afloat in a muddied stream of consciousness. Think of now as the perfect time for a long, cool drink from the fountain of wisdom. Wise up. Think straight. Act like a tiger just about to pounce on the world with giant paws.

Cabana Time.

Hola and welcome homa to our place
My toes hit the sand, a smile on my face
Cabana time by wave fest with you
The sun our old friend, the pelicans too
Familiarity feels good like a vacation should
The vista's language is well understood
Out on the balcony we'll spend most of our time
The air will be sweet, the cervezas with lime
Taxi by water or land to downtown
Your face in the fireworks is beautifully brown
Go to our favorites or find someplace new
The breeze in our hair, the sea stretching blue
Live in the present, what a great place to be
I'm yours and you're mine, aquí or allí.

The soles of my shoes were laden with mud
One wrong turn turns into a dud
Small chapters of life get dog-eared
Too long of a nap leaves you long beard
Awakened at last, in need of a shave
A fresh start indeed, and send out a wave
That rattles and roars and wakes the night
Our friendly King Lion will kiss and not bite
He's got a flush so he bets you the pot
Don't double down because you ain't got squat
Over the should'ves and through the coulds
Grandma and Grandpa sold their place in the woods
I still see an ember aglow on the hill
Drinks on the house and bring me the bill.

In the beginning, before things get out of hand
Put on your shoes and get the lay of the land
Let's stay together to increase our chances
Of telling the stories of our past romances
Flings are things we read about in grocery store books
Where nothing is really the way that it looks
The last time I judged a book by its cover
I was found guilty, and so was my lover
Minimal prison time was all that I needed
Rules were obeyed, advice was heeded
Vector control will keep out the Riff Raff
Like a wizard appearing, wielding his staff
Magic spells cast upon our imagination
A yellow brick road to our destination.

Bingo.

I dreamt that I was playing bingo
Just trying to fit in, learn the lingo
Wishing that I hadn't sold my car
Thank God we're walking distance to a bar
But we'll have to pay to leave this place
Super hi-tech cameras can detect your face
We'll hop the train and become fugitives
The past always takes while the future gives

Just look out the window at picket fences
Breathe in through your nose to tickle your senses
Then suddenly I was awake in my bed
Dream bubble popped right over my head
But deep in warm covers my eyes close again
Thy love be round me through the night. Amen.

Fur Collars

Copyright © 2009.

The dripping eaves play tricks on my eyes
We've seen it many a time but it's still a surprise
Like hitting a drift that was invisible
But as your friend I would not find that advisable
Nor would I wish you would mess with your mind
Pay attention now here and maybe you'll find
The pieces misplaced under years of debris
Down in the basement making beer from barley
Old men with their tools, tin upon tin
Until strippers showed up stinking of gin
With fingers outstretched, hoping for dollars
Profit will translate into fur collars
We still have our hearts, steadily beating
Like the time our paths crossed at our first meeting
Magnetic attraction swept under the rug
It takes time to feel the effects of the love drug
But now we can weather our future forecast
Bundle up for a blizzard which likely won't be your last
It's a dog-eat-dog world, so carry some bacon
What counts in the end is how much you're makin'
Remember, though, heaven won't take belongings
Use it or lose it, do some writings not wrongings
Stay home, make some soup, and remember the past
May the lines of your life rhyme from first to the last.

Dice Game

Dice Rules & Points: Object of the game is to win. Any number of players take turns throwing six dice. Game is to 10,000 points. You can go over 10,000 points, and want to. Once someone goes out, all others have one chance to tie or win. In order for a player to continue a throwing session, you must throw some sort of points each throw. After each throw, you must set aside at least one dice worth some points. If all the remaining dice thrown are scorers, you have the option of continuing your session by picking them all up and throwing them all again. If none of the dice thrown are scorers, your session ends, and you lose any temporary score that you had built up. Once you've reached the minimum number of points to stop, you may end your session at any time, and your temporary score is added to your permanent score. At the start of the game, the minimum points to just get on the board is 500 points. After that and for the remainder of the game, the minimum score is 350 points per turn.

POINTAGE: A five is 50 points. A one is 100 points. 3-of-a-Kind is worth 100 times the dice value. (3 fives is 500) Exception: 3 ones is worth 1,000 points! 4-of-a-Kind adds another of whatever 3-of-a-Kind is worth. 4 ones is 2,000. 5-of-a-Kind adds two more of whatever 3-of-a-Kind is worth. 5 ones is 3,000. 6-of-a-Kind is an automatic win. Then call to order a large party pizza. Three pair is worth 600 points. Two triples is worth 1,200 points. 1-2-3-4-5-6 is worth 2,000 points. A throw of the dice worth no points is called a Shannon. A six-dice Shannon is worth 1 point. Don't laugh, because you'll probably get the first one.

Example Throws:

5 = 50 points

1 = 100 points

2,2,2 = 200 points

3,3,3 = 300 points

4,4,4 = 400 points

5,5,5 = 500 points

6,6,6 = 600 points

1,1,1 = 1,000 points

Times Of Strife

By chance do you dance during times of strife
Do you hold out your hand and ask for your wife
Who would have thunk it would have turned out this way
A needle was found in a stack full of hay
Miracles do happen to folks like you and me
But you have to ask Jesus to help you see
Good and Bad are but two sides of the same mirror
It's only a matter of which you hold dearer
Work it out so it works with your neighbors and friends
Watch lots of TV and follow the latest trends
Shop at the biggest mall in the nation
But beware that your brain may experience starvation
I say unto you masses from the top o' the hill
That we are engaged in a battle of will
Leave early on Friday for happy with the salsa and chips
Bring your 3-D glasses to watch the social eclipse
The people around us all energize this moment in time
Like a cuckoo clock ticking awaiting the chime
Time to head home now and crawl into our bed
While visions of Britney Spears lead us to dread
Locks are a safe bet if you're into protection
But our only real chance is a true resurrection.

Light It Up

Express Yourself by adding some special lighting to your place. Here is some lighting on the outside of our CavePort and also on the inside of The Cave.

Let's zoom-in now on the outside lighting and see what that's all about, eh?

Outside our front door, we have a colored bulb in the fixture. Don't forget to add some special lighting to the inside of your FoyerPlace to welcome weary guests.

Finally, for those evenings when the temperature is above minus 10 degrees F, you ought to have some special twinkly lights on your Deckage to compliment the Rising Moon.

The most important rule of adding special lighting to your pad is to remember that these lights are not just for Christmas Time, but rather, they should be enjoyed as Yearound DeLights.
