Don't be messin' with my girl, now.
Speaking of those Idol shows, Ben Folds' "Army" is a great model for anyone trying to write ace pop songs. Bjork's "Army of Me" is not.
Don Henley??? Oi vey.
10 for "fatigue is my color". There are so many things about this poem I'd change if it were mine; that line isn't one of them.
Ha ha.
ANybody who curses at the cubs gets an automatic 10. though this was a very good poem on its own.
Good poem about california toilets, though i am not so sure the subject matter really reflects the title.
No worries, I just do that fairly naturally now; took all of eleven seconds.
Strong stuff.
Too strong maybe; such a thing may exist.
(I'm put off a bit by the language.)
"fatigue is my color." - very very good.
There are so many standard set pieces in here though, I can't decide if its giving it a classic, or a tired feel. Hmmm...
That line though, love that.
Normally, I'm not that lazy. Thanks.
Nice one!
Another great use of a form. The repetition with the driving and the smoking and the reading works really well with this travelog feel.
A well-deserved Ten.
going nowhere, nice...
Hey, there's an expression that wasn't used up before.
FBI - Fat Back Incredulity
I will be contacting the F.B.I.
Very good.
Foundem:
Well, my time went to quickly
I went lickety-splitly out to my old fifty-five
As I pulled away slowly, feelin' so holy,
God knows I was feelin' alive
And now the sun's comin' up
I'm ridin' with Lady Luck
Freeway cars and trucks
Stars beginning to fade, and I lead the parade
Just a wishin' I'd stayed a little longer
Lord, don't you know the feelin's gettin' stronger
Six in the morning, gave me no warnin'
I had to be on my way
Now the cars are all passin' me,
Trucks are all flashin' me
I'm headed home from your place
And now the sun's comin' up
I'm ridin' with Lady Luck
Freeway cars and trucks
(minus chorus and bridge)
yep, lickety splitly; have you ever actually read the lyrics to that song? I'm gonna go dig those up now (it works as a song, but on paper - whoah. :O)
LoL - a dirty, dirty hoe.
