Modern-Day Whimsical Dreamscapes
Sociability mixed with social ability makes tricks for you and me,
Well said and well met, hang up your hat, drop in, sit and be, welcome to thee,
Turn on the news, see the broadcasting crews, lose yourself,
They give information to help find our destinations through traffic conflagrations,
The machinations of the machine come clean with the great and obscene,
They deviate from premeditated action,
To the detraction and distraction of society,
The resulting action being the subtraction of piety,
The high and mighty sit on hoary oaken thrones of glory telling lost stories,
Morning glory and afternoon sunshine, isn’t it fine?
Divine with wine, what’s on your mind?
Half in kind with laughter unwinding after setting down for supper with the Masters,
Need a clean upper heightened attention bench press two hundred pounds,
Pounding down on the surface of the table, both stirred and shaken yet unable,
To awaken the joy inherent to the boy,
And take to the highs the prizes of those willing and able,
To speak the truth as a testament to what it meant to hold one’s youth,
The honest intent meant to bless the hands that heal The Old Man’s demands,
And through understanding what it knew, as it grew the tales told threw off the old,
And began the game anew, a new day to refrain from boiling the stew,
Prove what you do to be true and your mind will bind itself like glue,
Find help forever and seek freedom from the blues and greens,
Seek solace in yellows, happy and mellow not mean,
That’s what it means to be free, at least as it is for me,
It’s often enough to have some stuff, a taste of delicious Tree.
Lords and ladies in their castles,
Bite-sized dainties ain’t no hassle,
Balls and walls of azure plenty,
Children of sixteen and twenty,
Scores of men and women gather,
Fill the halls with joyous laughter,
After supper, cup of tea,
Living is such ecstasy,
Entropy of holidays,
LSD and Purple Haze,
Cats chase rats all through the maze,
Don’t ask why, it’s just a phase,
Hedges and lodges, dirty dodges,
Hodge-podge pictures, collage of victors,
School days pass us by, we always rule so high,
Remember to be cool; your self is your best tool,
Pretty soon we’ll drive and fly,
Mama done raised no fool,
The self itself is what you need,
Graduate post-haste with speed,
Time’s not to waste so feed the greed,
Go out into the world, and do the deed.
