Forgive me Lord, for I have sinned
-- again, I have sinned again :(
I'm uncomfortable in my own skin
disgraced, defiled, by my own sin
Do you know everywhere I've been?
Did I hurt You, seeing all my sin? :(
Is this world safe-- to run, within
to You, when --I miss Your arms again
I'm ashamed and repent; lost my grin
wishing I'd never --ever-- sin again :(
Is there one reason now, to begin :O
-- again-- if I have sinned again??
With MercySong, sweeter than a violin
You woo me back, past my chagrin :D
Have mercy on us! Okay? You win! :)
You forgive and forget, again, again
But that's no excuse to sin-- again! :(
Doing wrong to teachers, friends, or kin
Your Truth sets free each sincere human
Open to Your Grace to be freed from sin

Vinny Rogers was a dairy man who milked three hundred cows.
Share farming with his son Bernie who put in the milking hours.
Now Bernie was adventurous; he liked his teenage fun.
He owned a car; paid off a boat - he also brought himself a gun.
Bernie you be careful
when you’re loading up that gun.
You've got to know your distance
and what damage can be done.
This gun was something special; more power than a three-o-three.
The bullets were more piercing said the spiel that he showed me.
The bore was mighty larger than his old twenty-two -
Bernie scanned the paddocks to see what this gun could do.
Bernie you be careful
when you’re loading up that gun.
You've got to know your distance
and what damage can be done.
Well it wasn't very long before, his first kill he's going to boast,
when he took aim at a crow that sat upon a corner post -
the bullet fired; the gun recoiled, and the crow is spun around.
Bernie heard the bellow from beyond - and saw their Friesian bull go down.
Bernie you be careful
when you’re loading up that gun.
You've got to know your distance
and what damage can be done.
Trying to remember my family on a three hour ride
'cause I'm going once again to see a new bride.
This makes number three for poor cousin Vinny,
the last two was crazy but at least they were skinny.
The new one he's got looks like a man.
He calls her sweetie but I call her Stan.
He's five foot four and she's six foot five.
My poor cousin vinny might not survive.
She use to carry lumber down at the mill,
but now she's a wrestler her name is 'Big Kill'.
Standing six foot five with a linebackers head.
If this one goes south poor vinny is dead.
He swears to us all that he loves her alot,
but I think he's lying so he won't get shot.
My cousin Vinny is lost without any clue,
and the woman he loves wears a size 19 shoe.
But I'll always come and support his new mess,
'cause each time he marries my wife gets a new dress.

Polly want a cracker?
No, Polly wants her crack.
Smokey the Bear telling us, Only You Can Prevent Forest Fires?
I think he set the forest ablaze when he got
stoned and dropped his joint.
Atomic bomb goin' off on your block?
Duck and cover?
How stupid do you think we are??
Uncle Sam Wants YOU???
For tax evasion?
The Mind Is a Terrible Thing To Waste?
Hannibal Lector could use them with Fava Beans??
Why is Bob Smiling so stupidly??
Botox reaction??
This is what our children see on T.V.??
Why??? Beats Me!!!
Vinny....what'cha think?
Pray for whirled peas??

more to follow.......And thanks to Ruby for her list....by the way Ruby, Rosie's
favorite is in your list too- "Somewhere In Time" What a sin about Christopher
Reeves....
What would you do,
If I snored out of tune,
Would you dump a pail of water on me?
Lend me your pillow
And I'll snore you out a croon,
I will try to keep my snoring to me....
Ruby; I don't have a sandman,
but I do have two concrete users,
Rocco, and Vinny (Asphalt Vinny, they call him)
and I hear they're lookin' for me!
Cavewoman, sitting in her cave
Angry as hell: her best spear did stave
Vinny the Caveman is at fault
Eagerly chasing deer, he failed to halt
Witness what happened next
Oh, his mighty muscles did flex
Mangling the staff
And breaking that gaff
Never thinking of Rita's best spear!
