The Old Times

Back in the day, there was a lot of pain
in each and every way
Women had fewer rights, the soldiers would always fight at night
they kept on playing that old game
of course, the children were singing there wonderful smiles were gleaming
until they knew what was coming
slavery wasn’t new it had always been there
slaves weren’t even paid a dime
after all that long amount of time
Some people would think nothing of it, and others started throwing a fit
Those who said “let them be free,”
I would always end up dead
Soon guns rumbled marches had begun
people were pleading for slavery to end
so the states thought things must change
they fought through the night and their play was finally ending
Speeches were told embrace was shown
people would say it was a happy ending
but something else was beginning
People picked up their signs and started to march
not on the side where they started
they walked day and night it was unbelievable that they also wanted to gain
women rights

Candy-Mania

Candy, candy mania
Opposite of Transylvania.
Gotta love the candy
So fine and dandy
Treats to sweets
To sugar-filled streets
Super sour crania,
Candy candy mania…
Don’t stay too long
Or you’ll be gone
RUN while you can,
Before it’s too late
Or you will become
The candies you ate.

My Dog

In the house
the dog is tired
he played all day
he lays down
stretches with relief
tongue lies limp
spreads out on the floor
drooling as he drifts off
hears someone coming
slowly lifts up his loose eyelids
person comes over
pets his curly fluff
limp and tired
he drifts off like
a leaf in the wind
