Moonstuck

 Moonstruck, best of luck, if I were smart i would learn to duck. 

When I was eight, kisses from girls made me say yuck. 

Now I am old and all the girls think I am a great Dad!  

If it didn't make me laugh, it might make me sad.

But I Love my wife, so being Moonstruck  made me glad! 

I Feel Like My Soul is Crying

I feel like my soul is crying.  

The first stanza is close to exact quote from a man who left the shelter tonight.  

Pray! God is listening!  

My disease is calling me

Thru the money in my pocket

I feel like my soul is crying

It is 24 degrees outside

I want to care

I can't resist

Alcohol's 

Evil 

Penetrating stare

I zip my coat

To the corners of my chin

I want to stay warm

As my lips embrace

My self-destructive drop

Once I begin

God knows

When I will stop

I measure sobriety 

In hours not days

I feel like my soul is crying

I want to live like other men

But I know 

Now

I am dying

I will be broke tomorrow

One day at a time

They say I should surrender

I keep failing 

At trying

I am hurting Bud

I know my soul is crying

Downtown Girl

Downtown girl
A reminiscent image
Of girls from the past
Timeless through style changes
Spending money always a blast

Downtown dudes
Smoking cigs
On the corner

Where cool stands out
Geography don't matter

Every punk rocker
Is cowboy in 50's leather
Every country kicker
Is a rebel
Who thinks he found a cause

Camaro
Lancer
F150
Or Subaru
If you hanging downtown
You're a downtown dude

Marlboro box
Rolled in a white t shirt
If it were up to the boys
All the downtown girls
Would wear mini skirts

Taxi
Uber
BART
Or The Red line
Sometimes American materialism
Is teenagers best time
