There’s no one else like Mister Big, Not even Jesus in a wig. You won’t get shot on Fifth Avenue, If you say His lies are true. Mister Big, He has the answer, To save us all from Windmill Cancer. Only He can stem the tide, Until the waters do subside. He will gladly lendContinue reading “Mister Big”

Dear Santa
Dear Santa, I know I havn’t written since Nineteen Fifty-Two, But lately I’ve been feelin’ sorta sad and kinda blue. There’s trouble in the world and strife across the land, And things have sorta gotten a little out of hand. So as you pack your sleigh and head out on you way, I’d just likeContinue reading “Dear Santa”
Mule Pass
Up on Mule Pass there’s no place you can turn, Just a tunnel to the past, no bridges left to burn. Right beyond the pass there lies another world, Where I can hide from the troubles I have unfurled. Up ‘til now I reckin’ I haven’t had a care, I’ve learned to hang my hatContinue reading “Mule Pass”
Gene Vincent Show
Be bop a lula, Gene Vincent Show, Heard all about it on the radio. He’s comin’ to town with electric guitars, A rockin’ piano fit for the stars. Glasgow, Montana will be rockin’ on out, Cuz Rock and Roll is what it’s about. He’ll grab the mike stand and sing with theband, He’s the bestContinue reading “Gene Vincent Show”
Urban Coyote
On the other side of Main there is a little wash, Where lives a wily coyote with cunning and panache. He don’t mind the traffic, the hubbub and noise, Sneakin’ through the broom bush is what he enjoys. When he’s done with chasin’ that Roadrunner bird, He will run off with the Javelina herd. InContinue reading “Urban Coyote”
The Man at the Post Office
The unseeing eyes, the burns on his face, His little newsstand seemed out of place. He sold papers and candy and cigarettes, Someone told me he was one of the vets, As a young man he had heard the call, Without caring that he might fall. He tore into Hell where the firing was hot,Continue reading “The Man at the Post Office”
Unheralded
Two heroes from Iwo Jima would live their quiet lives, without proclaiming valor, not even to their wives. One would carry mail, his duty to prevail, he would never fail, no matter the travail. One served as Chief of the local volunteers, he put the fires out for nigh on thirty years.Continue reading “Unheralded”
Shoulda
I shoulda bought a rose instead of that last beer, I shoulda settled down anywhere but here. I shoulda drove a truck, Skipped Vegas with my luck. I shoulda stopped my lyin’ Though wasn’t even tryin’ I should saved some dough, But it was mine to blow. I shoulda saw the light, And never pickedContinue reading “Shoulda”
If I Could Send a Hug
If I could send a hug, I’d wrap it up real nice, And cover it with stamps, no matter what the price. Then I’d tell the Postman, “Handle this with care. It ain’t the kind of mail that goes just anywhere.” May it span the lonesome miles, and soften up the trials, It’s been tooContinue reading “If I Could Send a Hug”
Coffee and a Kiss
There ain’t that much that I would miss, Except some coffee and a kiss. My morning coffee ain’t complete, Until I see your smile so sweet. I like my coffee in a mug, But it goes better with a hug. Sometimes I take it with a roll, But only you can warm my soul. BlackContinue reading “Coffee and a Kiss”
