Money
Reach out your hand to me count the chickens before they’re hatched keep your paws in your pockets dude I would like to go out and eat at a fancy restaurant and jewelry is great so what about money it’s nice to have sometimes when you need it but it can be a source of frustration too
You
Happy tunes are whistled by the bellboy in the trump hotel he keeps a positive attitude despite the cynicism around him and the worldliness at every turn yes and lots of customers are rude and crass and demanding and impatient so it’s a tough job oh how the rich create their karma and sin is it’s own punishment hell and heaven are inside our heart and mind the gates are everywhere and every decision you make takes you through the door and into a new reality yes it’s your choice it’s waiting for you
Life
Life is precious even though sometimes you are alone and sometimes it feels like garbage so tell them you love them and if they give you something tacky just remember they meant well and if they get too excited just help them calm down and tell them to keep their shirt on and chill out and all that jazz.
Family
Give of yourself yes it’s that time of year when cookies and candy and sweet flowing punch get passed around and all the family gives hugs and kisses and everyone is happy to see you and there is plenty for everyone more than enough in my life luckily and I have been privileged in my hemisphere to have all I need but doctors can’t always give you your health sometimes it takes a while to figure things out and sometimes you stay sick for months and if you’re lucky it stops
Mealtime
Savor the butter on the chicken thighs baked in the oven in the pan where it’s hot and wet and deep inside the soft meat cooks so nice with all the seasonings and spices and creamy sauce soaks in and all the marinated meat gets firm and bounces back when you press down on it.
Here
It is sweet yes a treat a cover lots of meat do the deed come freely carefully kneeling swinging sleepily you look lovely so you tell me too aren’t there any cookies left in the tin for me laughing near me ever creasing swat the flies flying over me darling I see you here
The Way
Stop saying you don’t know how you’ve got to give it a try it’s not that hard be a sport don’t be afraid of doing new things or doing old things in a new way you act like it’s bad you think it’s gross it’s for sinners no open your mind take eat this is my body which is broken for you take drink this is my blood which is shed for you he did not come for the righteous but the sick the blind the lame put your hand on my cloak and feel the power within you heal your wounds they shall do greater things the encourager will come alongside and be a friend to you believe in me tell no one follow be fishers of a different kind leave your home, your job, your family let the dead bury the dead oh why have you forsaken me I am the way
Really?
It would be a very nice thing yes it would be so nice to have a paddy cake with a magistrate onomatopoeia Hercules stanza stylistic random I would like two scoops of raisins please and a spoon full of sugar to help the medicine go down give peace a chance why don’t you please come to my rescue go the distance pray for rain do you know what time it is does anyone really?
Snore
This is yes to fudge and milk and cream and sauce, to lasagna and oysters yes yes. Love to tell the story of mystical and glory. Fun yes fun is good to have great fun many times there was fun at Christmas and there was cake and milk and sauce and lots of cream and sugar. Do you like yours with cream and sugar yes it is time to celebrate the end is coming there is lots to do but only in reverse no nothing now but resting and sleeping and whining and weeping it is closing they are closed to the public out of business nothing doing I have a headache dear that is true not tonight I’m tired it’s been a long day snore.
