Should Have Learned to Climb a Tree
Eenie meenie miney mo
Catch a tiger by the toe.
Eenie meenie miney me
Caught that tiger and set it free.
Eenie meenie miney mound
Now it's charging through the town.
Eenie meenie miney me
I shouldn't have set it free.
Eenie meenie miney mo
Now it's caught me, by the toe.
Eenie meenie miney me
This is such a bad opportunity.
I totally doubt that
You and I
Will ever see things
Eye to eye.
First off it was
The plums in the icebox
Then it was
The rest of the icebox.
I fully doubt that
You and I
Will ever see things
Eye to eye.
It was the paint
On the roses,
The cards on
The deck (where Chromos used to play).
I doubt that
You and I
Will ever see things
Eye to eye.
I wonder why
You hang around so much
(It's useless anyhow)
But I somehow put up with you.
Dammit.
Is it a curse?
Is it a trap?
Of course it's a trap,
Everything's a trap
Trap trap trap trap
Some so obvious,
Some not so much.
The obvious ones are like that banana peel over there.
The not so obvious are when you wear a tin foil hat.
It's all a trap!
If paranoia's all I got left,
Why bother anyway?
Don't forget to sharpen your wood covered graphite cylinders.
I have been compared,
Not you, me.
Yes, I have been compared
To a quadruped,
A two dimensional object
And best of all
Described as something I
Am NOT.
I'm fine with being compared to a rabbit
Once it has been drenched with
Sudsy H2O
All that fluff gone and only a skinny shivering
Carcass of an animal.
If an animal I am
Then an animal I shall be.
I am fine with being compared with a Disney character,
Although I do not endorse Disney
The animation is fine enough.
There's one thing off though.
There are too many catchy songs
That's not good
I've got a lovely bunch of coconuts
Sitting all nicely in a row
Bum bum bum
An
Now that I think of it,
I HATE leading
Starting something, yes
Leading a bunch of people and decision making, no
Leave me the behind the scenes stuff and leave me alone
That's pretty much where I actually excel at.
Put me in the limelight and all I do will be to reflect the light out at people's eyes
And stand there, shocked and still
Just like a naked statue with the public gawking at it, expecting some sort of revelation
Hell to the fucking no
Whatever revelation you expect, don't
That's the most that you will get from me
And don't expect any more
`Cuz you will be very very
Street vendors don't always sell much. The only thing I, the vendor sold was a small nondescript jack-in-the-box. The colorful bands, the lovely melody, all contained in a box full of secrets.
" A jack in the box huh? It's on sale too Could be a good gift for "
The voices droned on and on. Nobody even bothered to touch or even bothered to crank the handle of the mysteriously wonderful box. All those colors! A masterpiece! Of course I didn't make it. It was handed down from generations to generations in my family! Why am I selling it? For personal reasons of course. But would anyone care?
"Can I try it out?"
Of course

Zombie Apocalypse Essay
The world is over! Take your heavy carcass off the chair and look outside. Out there be zombies. It is currently a zombie apocalypse. How would you survive? Stock up on supplies, go on a zombie slaying rampage, let them eat you or isolate yourself in the most extreme conditions. Either way, most of the population of living organisms in the world would probably not survive.
At the first mention of humanoid undead, a zombie would probably be the first thing that pops into any sane person's mind. Originally, zombies were just animated human corpses, something like a morbid puppet, but with mind-altering drugs instead of physical strin

Chronicles of Albert Vice -Chapter One -Part Two
"Look, all I'm doing here is up to you. Anything I do here is because you let me. It's not like I'm going to barge in all over the place and stomp over your rhododendrons or something. Wait wait wait wait!!!"
The door slammed. Dammit. Back in the boxroom, this time, very dark. Touchy subjects; flowers. Remember the Eadle twins? Guess I should have talked about them more.
Dwight Thomas Eadle, the elder by about a minute and maybe the only Eadle with a working mind. Seeing that the two have the capacity of arguing with Mr. Byrd shows their intelligence quota to be less than average. Mr. Byrd's intelligence quota goes to the advanced l

Chronicles of Albert Vice -Chapter One -Part One
There I was, sitting in a dark boxroom, still full of boxes and hopefully one occupant. Okay maybe not too dark. There was a flimsy looking oil lamp near the left corner of the ceiling fan, dangerously close, and not much else on the ceiling to look at. Mr. Byrd and the Eadle twins were outside the door, arguing.
Confused? I suppose so, I'm confused as well, talking to myself. Okay I should start at the beginning.
It was a dark and stormy day, screw clichés, I was walking through a town full of boarded up windows and not much left on the street. Things that strayed out into the open were met with an onslaught of rain. The wind wasn't m
In the cool night,
A wild goose flies
Calling as it goes
A shadow against
The wintery sky.
The calling echoes
In the forest beyond.
Animals lay here
Huddled for warmth
Shelter among the trees
Their purpose unseen.
