You've a fetish for moonlighted hoots
with a tall glass of bourbon and toots
that she's lettin' you touch
but it all was too much
an' she ran off with one o' the coots.

First, Merlin's - I was a bit late.

In the moonlight the Scotts say hoot mon
when the whiskey they’ve brought’s almost gone
so they give Hope a holler
and for a wee dollar
she’ll fill all their cups until dawn.

When power leads man toward arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the areas of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of his existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
John Fitzgerald Kennedy



Kindness is a seed sown by the gentlest hand, growing care's flowers.

And then Daniel's to continue the string:


She ran off with the coats of the men
long before all the fun could begin
but she brought back each one
after she had some fun
with some lipstick and perfume and gin.

... and responding to both Merlin's and Larry's together:

With her lipstick, perfume and sloe gin
she filled cups until dawn to begin
to reveal who she is
until drinks lose their fizz
and they've interest in her bare skin.

Her bare skin was interesting, aye man,
made the moon blush like one pizza pie-man.
Her cups overflowing,
warm camp-fire glowing;
she whispered to me, “Hun, you're my man.”

“You’re no man”, said the whispering Hun
because they don’t possess bags for fun
and besides all of that
where do you keep it at?
I refer to your lack of a gun.

They are lacking a gun, but their fur
is so thick it would give you a stir;
it's because of its claws
and the size of its maws
suggest bear is a bite connoisseur.

Who suggested a bear is a bite
may be biting off more than he mite!
If the critter's a young-un
don't hope for a long run
cuz you mite be sent flying a kite.

If you’re sent out to go fly a kite
make sure flying won’t last into night
when some storms may arrive
and the lightning bolts strive
to fry Ben Franklin’s effigy right.

If ol' Ben were out flyin' tonight
his burnt hands clearly would be a sight;
thunder, lightnin' an' rain
woulda struck him again
and again, and on into the night.

And again, and on into the night
there was thunder and ning ending light.
For rain we had drizzle,
for a bearskin, a grizzle,
for safety we hugged really tight!

If you hug really tight to be safe
and you make love, you may start to chafe
on your bare skin; take care
and be sure you’re a pair
‘cause you could wind up with a small waif

If you end up with one dinky wafer
from squeezing too tight to be safer
it's your own dumb fault;
order up a nice malt
and dunk it; it won't be a chafer.

When Dunkan dunked his to be chafer
he searched all around for a waiver.
He pulled up his nickers,
escaped somewhat quickers,
and thought that it's best if he laver.

If you think that you've got the best lawyer
you should ask if it's true that he saw yer
court records before
he goes out the door
and you wait for jail guards in the foyer.

If you wait in the foyer for guards
you’ll realize freedom’s not in the cards
so you make a mad dash
and throw up some cold cash
to escape exercise in their yards.

Well you're gonna gain weight, chubby pard
'cause the fatt'll build up
till ya are what ya sup
an' it won't go away; it's pure lard.

Pure lard, go awhey, won't you please?

and that will be it,
but I won't give up Limburger cheese.

If you won't give up Limburger cheese
you will scare away your abductees
so your frolics in bed
will be all in your head
while you're doing whatever you please.

disclaimer - I'm not sure I've ever been near a Limburger.


Please Doing wherever you are,
at home or out parking the car.
Backseats serve a purpose
but not to usurp us,
and Doing may think you're a star!
