I wanna be a tree
A big ‘ol block of wood
	Just swayin’ in the breeze
Suckin’ in the bad air and
Letting out the good
With squirrels climbing all over
My branches tickling me

At
first
a fib
nothing more
or that’s what he thought
but one economical truth
wasn’t enough, so his spinnerets spun some fresh lines
one needs fairly few words to speak the pure truth, but many more so to hold up a lie

A wish been granted, killed, 
Against the laws of nature
He that demanded, willed
Life into inanimate stature
Yet another cliche instilled
A wish upon a star, gatekeeper
Of life caught napping, whistles trill
Loss and pain, nature of fear
The puppet learns to keep his heart still
The puppet breaks with human...

Someone in a donut hole
Can’t hear a noisy tale

Pinocchio Nose  is growing gradually
Above the clouds in the sky

The tip of his nose reached freezing space
Or violent heat evaporates all at once

She'd get a twitch, a wiggle in her nose
when the words on the screen didn't seem quite right
Telling her there was something fishy about the prose

filled with forced friendships and opaque smiles.
We ate freshly popped popcorn with real butter,
probably the only real thing in the room, except for

but grew and grew...

Life Should Be Like Disneyland

Life should be like Disneyland,
Everyday a little bit of Never Never Land,
Dreams fill your heart,
They give us a new start,
A delightful way to fill the day,
Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse,
Spread happiness your way,
And my way,
They lift you out of the doldrums,
Of...
