Michael Vick, Atlanta Falcons Quarterback
Indicted on Dog Fighting Charges
Michael Vick
Now you’re licked
Guilty as Sin
Trouble you’re in
Dogs need protection
As well as affection
Soon you will learn
Money you’ve earned
Won’t set you free
In prison you’ll be
You were a fool
Who knew it was cruel
Those horrible fights
Dogs have rights
The SPCA
Searches each day
And they will find
Dogs treated unkind
But Michael Vick
Charges will stick
Football is banned
You’re no longer grand
Though you’re well known
You’re not all alone
Others weren’t caught
It’s you who they sought
Because of your name
Because of your fame
Guilty as sin
Bad you have been
Those who've done wrong
In jail they belong

If we could be united
If we could be united
As someone who is one
A lot we would accomplish
So much we could get done
You used to walk for miles
But now you’re in a chair
I used to do a whole lot more
Life has become unfair
Your body may be broken
But your mind is full of spirit
My body seems okay
But my mind is not quite near it
Although it will not happen
We’ll never be just one
We can enjoy our friendship
And accept what we’ve become

A special friendship
I’ve looked at you
For many years
I watched you laugh
And wipe your tears
I watched you grow
I helped you learn
And every day
You would return
You liked to snack
While I was there
I couldn’t eat
You couldn't share
You shopped with me
You learned to cook
You didn't want
To read a book
Suspenseful games
Depressing news
There was a lot
For you to choose
A scary movie
Made you scream
While you napped
I watched you dream
I’ve been your friend
Each night and day
On sleepless nights
By me you’d stay
A bigger screen
You said not yet
Until I break
You will not get
I looked at you
When watching me
I’ve always been
Good company

Hugs and Kisses
You give me hugs and kisses
Whenever I’m with you
You can not be without me
I’m stuck to you like glue
Anytime I'm needed
You know just where I’ll be
There's no place I can hide
You’ll find me easily
You never can refuse me
I put you right at ease
No matter where we are
I always try to please
When I'm between your lips
Your kisses are quite strong
Pressed between your fingers
I can't stay very long
I won't be going home again
You tossed me in the street
As if that wasn’t bad enough
You squished me with your feet
You gave me hugs and kisses
It’s me you did desire
I was having lots of fun
Until I caught on fire
You gave us hugs and kisses
But now you left your wife
You couldn’t kick the habit
That took away your life
KICK THE HABIT
TOSS THE CIGARETTES

I have a Sugar Mama
I have a Sugar Mama
Who makes a lot of money
I hang around the house
Don’t mind if it looks funny
I often sleep till noon
Then work out at the gym
After eating lunch
Her hot tub I'll be in
Before I take a nap
I might go to a bar
Unless I drive around
Showing off my car
No need for me to clean
The maid comes everyday
She washes all my clothes
I'll never have to pay
I’ve nothing much to do
We eat out every night
Because her day is long
We hardly ever fight
I wear expensive clothes
To try and look my best
Don’t want to jeopardize
My comfy little nest
I have a Sugar Mama
The sweetest one I know
When I'm a little older
I know she’ll let me go

I want a Sugar Daddy
I want a Sugar Daddy
I’ll be his loving wife
As long as I am spoiled
We’ll have a perfect life
Because I’m young and pretty
I want to pick and choose
And men who really want me
My needs they won’t refuse
He must have lots of money
A doctor would be great
But if he is a lawyer
I’ll still go on a date
He doesn’t want me working
My Sugar Daddy mate
Instead I’ll start a family
And live on his estate
Some girls are not as fussy
They haven’t time to wait
As years go passing by
It soon will be too late
Perhaps the man they’ll marry
Will one day strike it rich
He’s now a Sugar Daddy
A man I chose to ditch

The Queen of Mean
Leona Helmsley, died August 20, 2007
Together with her late husband Harry, they owned many New York hotels and buildings including the Empire State Building. She was called “The Queen of Mean” and was once quoted as saying “Only the little people pay taxes." She served 18 months in prison after her trial in 1989 for tax evasion.
Sugar and spice
And everything nice
Girls have to be
Or they’ll pay the price
“The Queen of Mean”
She was well know
A chain of hotels
She happened to own
When she was charged
With tax evasion
Employees came
For this occasion
Saying Leona
Was ruthless and mean
The rich don’t pay taxes
They quoted the queen
Women in power
Should be aware
They need to be nice
Although it's unfair
Plenty of men
Are ruthless and mean
At their employees
They’ll often scream
Snakes and snails
And puppy dog tails
It’s okay for boys
To be tough as nails

Evil Deeds
July 24, 2007
Murder of Doctor’s Family:
Wife and two daughters in
suburban Connecticut
after a vicious attack and then
setting their house on fire, the
doctor managed to survive.
You’re going to prison
Because you were caught
Killing those people
A Bible you’ve brought
You’re going to prison
For quite a long time
Because you committed
That heinous crime
You’re going to prison
You were on parole
You haven’t reformed
You’re out of control
You’re going to prison
You tortured and raped
Burning their home
While you escaped
You’re going to prison
A place you just left
Not for murder
But petty theft
Back to prison
You’ll now return
Because a life sentence
You chose to earn

Wedding Vows
Are you still with
Your very first wife
Will you be together
For the rest of your life
How is she doing
Did she become lame
Does she have dementia
Or is she insane
You’ve been with her
Through thick and thin
It never mattered
What shape she was in
Are you still with
Your very first man
Who’s been your spouse
Within your life span
How is he doing
Did he become lame
Does he have dementia
Or is he insane
You’ve been with him
Through thick and thin
It never mattered
What shape he was in
In sickness and health
Till death you will part
Your vows were recited
With all of your heart

Cycling when you're bi-polar
I’m cycling up a hill
The ride is such a thrill
As I approach the top
It’s hard for me to stop
I can’t remain there long
It’s where I can go wrong
Then cycle down once more
Just like I've done before
And cycle up again
But never knowing when

What are you complaining about?
You complain when it’s cold
You complain when it’s hot
You also complain
When it rain’s a lot
You complain there’s a drought
You complain there’s no snow
Or not enough wind
For your sailboat to go
You complain about hail
And the dents in your car
Plus the flooded street
Surrounding your car
Complain all you want
If it makes you feel better
But you have no control
Over the weather

Do you look at me with kindness

Attempted Suicide
On a warm day in September
I thought I had a plan
I bought a lot of pills
And placed them in my hand
In my car, these pills I swallowed
At a park where I had driven
In a spot quite far away
Out of sight, that’s a given
But I started getting scared
That I would die alone
So I started up my car
Thinking I could die at home
But I didn’t die that day
My life, my husband saved
He called the paramedics
Who said I misbehaved
When I think about that day
I remember what was done
That tube put down my throat
Much pain had just begun
My hands were full of needles
They had to use IV’s
To get my body healthy
They took good care of me
The nurses weren’t friendly
They had no sympathy
For someone suicidal
They need more empathy
But I will understand
If suicide you choose
I know just how you feel
Like me, you were confused

Level the playing field
We're off and running
To see the men play
And never the women
No matter what day
The women you see
Are cheering the teams
Out on the field
While everyone screams
It’s really unfair
Aren’t you aware
The playing field
Both sexes should share
But who would attend
An all women’s game
They won’t draw a crowd
It's really a shame
When off-season comes
Women should use
A playing field
That they can choose

It's raining cats and dogs
It’s raining cats and dogs
Has the cat got your tongue
Our kittens are taking a cat nap
Because they’re very young
Pussy willows are in my vase
Over there’s a dogwood tree
On a dog day afternoon
Underneath I’d like to be
It's best to let sleeping dogs lie
They're nothing but copy cats
You’re still the cat’s meow
So let them chase the rats
It’s a dog- eat- dog world
But you can’t be a scardy cat
The world's going to the dogs
Doggone it, that's that

I'm a lucky dog
I'll eat chicken
When its finger lick-in
I'll eat meat
When I’m by your feet
I'll eat scraps
When they fall from laps
And food in a can
Or a frying pan
You’ll just eat a bowl of rice
Because it’s not a real high price
You’ll just eat a boiled potato
Not some lettuce and tomato
You’ll just eat a bowl of hash
Because you have so a little cash
You don’t have enough to eat
Now you can't stand upon your feet
I’m a lucky dog it’s true
But how can a dog feel sorry for you

Here’s your pink slip
We’re letting you go
A robot replaced you
Didn’t you know
Younger people
We’ve chosen to hire
Those who are old
We have to fire
We had to downsize
Your job’s gone away
It’s now overseas
And there to stay
The company’s bankrupt
The boss was a crook
And pension funds
Of course he took
Your job has ended
No need to be said
The towers collapsed
Your colleagues are dead

Do you have a cat
Or maybe you have
A little white rat

Swimming around
Swish, swish, swish
Do you have a lizard
Do you have a snake
Not a good pet

The British Invasion
They crossed the ocean
Appeared on TV
The Ed Sullivan Show
Millions would see
A different look
This group had
Longer hair
Parents got mad
Teen-age girls
Loved them the most
To see them perform
Who wouldn't boast
The screaming was loud
Their singing unheard
When playing their songs
You knew every word
As time marched on
A modern look
Those fancy suits
Off they took
Their hair got longer
They sang better songs
Until Yoko Ono
They all got along
A shot in the dark
John Lennon was dead
No Beatles reunion
Tears were shed
The British invasion
The Beatles came
Quite a legend
They became

Cats of many colors
Look at all our faces
Don't we look the same
We’re cats of many colors
And share a common name
Our hair is long or short
We’re black and white and grey
Our food is in a dish
So mice won’t be our prey
We wander through the night
But sleep when it is day
And when we’re little kittens
We really like to play
Some cats are very friendly
But others like to fight
You can hear them fighting
When they’re out at night
Dogs will irritate us
They don’t know what we are
And when they try to chase us
We’ll hide beneath a car
We recognize each other
We know we’re all the same
We’re cats of many colors
Domestic cause we’re tame

No security - no more loyalty
There’s no security
In the workplace anymore
You won’t work there for life
They’ll kick you out the door
The company you’re with
Won’t need you anymore
When work goes overseas
Your job goes to the poor
More profits they will gain
Those foreigners work cheap
They’ll send your work to them
Your job you cannot keep
There’s no more loyalty
In the workplace anymore
Employees want more money
They’ll leave if offered more
But who can really blame them
They have to do what’s best
Earn money when they’re young
Be better than the rest
To climb the corporate ladder
They won’t stay in one place
They’ll keep on changing jobs
As if they’re in a race
No farewell parting gifts
Employees didn’t stay
Some left for better jobs
Some jobs just went away

Swimming in the ocean
To swim in the ocean
I really did like
I used to live close
I'd ride my bike
The water’s refreshing
The waves are rough
I’d rest on the sand
When I had enough
Gathering seashells
Large and small
I'd bring them home
And paint them all
Back to the ocean
I had to go in
For one final swim
Soon school would begin

The water’s refreshing
The waves are rough
I’d rest on the sand
When I had enough
Gathering seashells
Large and small
I'd bring them home
And paint them all
Back to the ocean
I had to go in
For one final swim
Soon school would begin

White Supremist
Shame on you
For taking up space
You’re not fit to live
With the human race
Spending your time
Making a list
Of those you hate
And shouldn’t exist
A white supremist
Is what you proclaim
Shaving your head
And seeking fame
Who influenced you
To act this way
Hating those you dislike
Who work everyday
You may be white
But you’re not supreme
You’re just a looser
Who’s very mean
For taking up space
You’re not fit to live
With the human race
Spending your time
Making a list
Of those you hate
And shouldn’t exist
A white supremist
Is what you proclaim
Shaving your head
And seeking fame
Who influenced you
To act this way
Hating those you dislike
Who work everyday
You may be white
But you’re not supreme
You’re just a looser
Who’s very mean
You scratch my back, I won't scratch yours
You scratch my back
I won’t scratch yours
Because I’m a dog
I walk on all fours
I love to be petted
I’ll lie on my back
So you’ll rub my tummy
Your love I don’t lack
It calms you, it sooths you
When you’re petting me
Your blood pressure drops
Its good therapy
I can’t scratch your back
I can lick your face
And I'll follow you
All over the place

Save the best for last
I used to save
The best for last
When I was young
And in the past
I’d eat a cupcake
Upside down
Then eat the icing
When turned around
Whenever I ate
A piece of cake
The icing would be
The last bite I’d take
Sometimes the best
Is not always last
When I eat pizza
The crust I'll pass

Dreams
It's time for me to go to bed
I’ll get eight hours sleep
Because I have too many thoughts
Into my mind they creep
I'm certain there's a reason
Why thoughts get in my head
I often have so many dreams
That sleeping I will dread
I’ll go to different places
Places that are new
And I'll get to stay there
Until the dream is through
When I have a nightmare
I’ll say it’s just a dream
Even if it’s frightening
I’ve never had to scream
Waking up is difficult
Because I’m very tired
I kept so busy in my sleep
That more sleep is desired
It will become my bedtime
I’ll go to sleep tonight
I’m sure I’ll have another dream
A good dream or a fright

Money, I hope it lasts
It’s time to spend my money
Today I just got paid
I need to do some shopping
With the funds I made
Paychecks never last
I have my rent to pay
Plus payments on a car
For me to use each day
Bills are overwhelming
No end to what I need
Especially with children
I’ve many mouths to feed
The prices keep on rising
And rising to the top
Gas is so expensive
When will it ever stop
But I think I’m lucky
I don’t live on the street
I eat three meals a day
With nice shoes on my feet
Bill Gates donates to charity
There’s billions he can spend
If he'd like to give me some
I'll be his new best friend
The younger generation
It seems will live in debt
Paying off their college loans
I hope they’re not upset
The older generation
Must make their money last
If they're in a nursing home
Their money runs out fast
As long as I'm alive
My money will be spent
But with the cost of living
I haven't saved a cent

When it comes to money
When it comes to money, no one’s your friend
They’re jealous of you
And what you can spend
When it comes to money, no one’s your friend
If they ask for money
Don't give them or lend
When it comes to money, no one’s your friend
How you spend your money
May often offend
When it comes to money, no one’s your friend
Donations they'll seek
Telling you where to send
When it comes to money, no one’s your friend
They may seem to like you
It might be pretend
When it comes to money, no one’s your friend
But if they have money
The friendship will blend

Me, Myself and I
Me, myself and I
We wave and say hi
We try hard not to cry
We always share our food
We're never mean or rude
We've never had a feud
We travel everywhere
We sit in the same chair
We've seen each other bare
Me, myself and I
We'll never say goodbye
Together we will die

Forgot what I was going to say
I had a thought
I had something to say
It no longer mattered
The thought went away
I was distracted
And lost this thought
I tried to remember
So hard I fought
Was it important
And did it matter
I can’t believe
My thought would scatter
Soon I’ll remember
What I had to say
As you leave the room
And you walk away

Time heals all wounds
Time heals all wounds
I think it’s untrue
And shouldn’t refer
To me and you
Wounds leave scars
On your body and mind
It’s hard to forget
When someone’s unkind
The loss of a leg
An arm or an eye
Can never be healed
It’s obvious why
All wounds won’t heal
With the passage of time
Like torturing those
Who committed no crime

You do have compassion
Don’t be too nice
Don’t be too fair
What you have earned
You don’t have to share
Think of the rich
Get rid of the poor
Tear down their homes
That’s progress, for sure
You need to exploit
Those who are weak
Who lack the power
And can not speak
You must be ruthless
Because you are greedy
Show no concern
For those who are needy
You do have compassion
I must confess
At a charity ball
In your $1,000 dress

Sunday is Church Day
Sunday is the day
When people often pray
At a church nearby
Because they’re off that day
Even when they’re tired
They force themselves to go
It’s a Sunday habit
The only one they know
Alone or with their family
They’ll listen to the preacher
Who speaks of loving-kindness
And is their Sunday teacher
When people are in need
The church will open doors
Reaching out to others
Putting cots on floors
Churches feed the hungry
They also clothe the poor
They maintain a food bank
A free convenience store
The singles go to dances
At church they’d rather meet
Instead of taking chances
With someone on the street
In need of food or prayers
You're welcome at my church
Our doors are always open
No need for you to search

Actions speak louder than words
You say that I’m your friend
But won’t return my call
A kind of friend like you
I do not need at all
You say that I’m your friend
But think you have to know
The money that I have
So I say you must go
You say that I’m your friend
But when I was depressed
You avoided me
To help me, you’d protest
You say that I’m your friend
But you’ve excluded me
To be with other people
That's where you choose to be
A friend returns a call
And takes you to the mall
Doesn’t care about your money
Stays with you when days aren't sunny
It must be give and take
Or the friendship’s just a fake
