Mah Nex Wife

my next wife I'm gonna let God pick her and I'm gonna stick to picking watermelons and continue to not be a felon n' stop being don juan.  when I look at my wife of some now many years late I wonder why she never got a nose job to make it a little more straight and I'll chuckle cause I promised and never did lose that weight.  mah nex wife when she think-bananas, that's what I'll hand her cause I answer to her every whim and want if not what's the point?  the point is like I said before my next wife umma let God pick her, somebody was saying something about everything nice n' sugar n' spice not with my other wives.  I don't think I have to take this more  far cause mah nex wife I'm gonna let God pick har'

Ah Pen To Fathers Day

The R&R's of  marvin, 1st rule you will go to sunday school and every sunday n' for goodness sake don't say I gotta headache.  growing up in poppa marvin's world was a daily mindblower it seemed he was in a mode of raisin' us good and like I say-daily.  he had a way of showing affection with each one of us and there was 10 of us.  one day we's all in the front yard looking for daddy to come around the corner on his bicycle getting off from work, it was beautifully wicked, daddy comes around the corner and pulls up in the driveway and we all said it at the same time-we gotta car! daddy justa smiling knowing he once again did real well for his family, we all hopped into daddy's 1952 powerglide Chevrolet. I googled it-powerglide, 2 gear automatic.  special events there was always an associated scent wit it, made for impressions.  my special one on one event wit daddy I was the only kid he would let hop into mr. Hamilton's stinky cigar funeral car and ride down to the local radio station for the Hamilton's family hour and they would tell the listeners who they plan to bury that week.  daddy would start the program singing: have I given anything today..impressions probably why I became a radio personality.  poppa marvin, man that guy was special, we would go on these sunday school picnics to different places, I remember swimming way out in this pool and wow, an undercurrent in ah swimming pool!  daddy was so cool he was right there and lead me to safety and he never mentioned it.  I took many clues from daddy on how to treat a woman with his interactions with my momma gladys, one evening I hear momma in a very concerned tone-marvin let's go to our room we never argue in front of these children-another R of the R&R's of marvin, not only give counsel but take counsel.  I loved growing up in the south wit my daddy he had good rules, the town I grew up in had good rules especially for teenagers we had some adult privleges real early.  the day I looked at that highway patrolman wit this wide brim hat on his head as he handed me my north Carolina drivers license in my daddy's 1952 powerglide Chevrolet-I was only 13..i miss you poppa.

Faith As Ah Mustard Seed

you wanna bump and trump the trump philosophy and tweek u.s. bankruptcy.  faith as a mustard seed..is that what you're after?  will I have faith as a mustard seed if I stop smoking weed.  we must recognize the phenomenal, last night I looked in the cupboard for a potatoe to bake and low and behold I find the goldfish I had bought and thought I had lost after leaving the pet shop..when I got home I assumed I had dropped it..very sad and disappointed, this was over a month and a half ago and still alive? what a stunt! I scrambled, um delighted and this beautiful very much alive goldfish I now call angel said to me,unconcious do you have faith as ah mustard seed?  I did!..I do!
be delightfully surprised when events of the divine touch your antenna..you asked to be a winner..you tuning in and the win-wind is at your back..they can holler please,please,please, you and me-we have faith, faith as ah mustard.

Be That Easy

not like a dream come true..that is not easy.  when my mother died, the tears came easy, be that easy.  big ole town keep giving me small ends.  when you left I wept, yeah again..since I can't get a hold on what it takes to make it right, please come back 'n be like swallowing sweet pancakes and bacon..be that easy.
like slipping on a brand new pair of brand name tennis shoes..be that easy.
Cause I studied for it passing the written test at DMV was a breeze be that easy.
Cause the power that pushed the waves to shore is the same might that takes them back again..again.. and again.
be that easy.

I Am Not From Lancaster

I am not from Lancaster ain't no tumbleweed rollin through my backyard or brain.  when those beautiful snow capped mountains show up in the morning on my front lawn in a mudslide..is not me.
rollin down the dark highway road a sudden thud-a crash into a wild boar crossing the road..how many times do I have to say, that's not me. course I will admit the lightning bugs at night sho nuff are a sight to see and the crickets chirping in the early morn mo pleasant than any alarm clock I know.sometimes the going down of the evening sun provides a skyline that's simply breathtaking, course when I pass the pig farm down the road..i keep my breath whew! and that says it in a nutshell why um not from Lancaster. when my wife  said let's move to Lancaster I said  whoa now, let's rent a spot for a week 'n the events of that week matriculated to a conclusion..
that's not me.

The Orange Crush Bottle and the Rosebud

one morning or should I say the evening before I proceed to clip a rosebud whose bud was questionable to being cut too soon and the rosebud says to me if you cut me too soon I will not bloom but I clipped it any way and I say to the rosebud are you  going to grow or wither and to both our dismay I will come and throw you away.  the next morning looking for every event of the day to be exciting I rushed to the rosebud under the lighting and this beautiful red rose says to me hello my friend how art thou look at me ,smell me and I did and the beautiful rose continued last night when you lay down to sleep and cut the light out I knew without a doubt in the morning I will blossom for you cause you dipped me in mr. good stuff the orange crush bottle and I mused as we looked at each other the rose and me-I thought the rose is telling me this bud is for you! then said the orange crush bottle, I still am making um holla, then I said well let me get on up from here and try to make a dollar, let me hear you holla for the orange crush bottle!

Welcome Back Stray Cat

so I flip from the pain of missin you to the joy of seeing you again and I speak to the universe-is my life no more worth than the pen you have placed in my hand to chronicle the devastating, wonderful events you continuously place in front of me so I always have something to write about like my cat-welcome back stray cat.  Can I git you some milk or has your recent adventure through the dark alleys and street changed your palate, certain things you don't have a taste for anymore I just hope those mean streets haven't made you too aggressive and you don't have anything cooking in the oven-no let's drop the pen and poetic stuff-you are not pregnant, is you?  I missed sittin on the steps and rubbing your back..when you would let me..them cats you never know what they's really thinking and that's a fact..welcome back stray cat.
