Poems from the book:
Boris the Singing Elephant
Boris the singing elephant was a ministerial
Sung his songs from town to town
But he was an eyesore
And they accepted him as a clown
Oh poor Boris the crowds threw tomatoes
And potatoes and eggs at him
Shunning him as a modern day leper
But he could hit the high notes
Even as a baritone
The pickers and players were jealous of him
And god gave him a crown
So one day in the central park
All the people gathered round
Boris gave his last concert-
With a trumpet sound
An original like Zappa, Muddy and Reba
All tied into one
But the zoo hunters wanted ivory
And hides to by drinks, silk and women
They rushed in as lions
Poor Boris was shot fast with an elephant gun
He took his last breath
Praying and looked towards the sun
The evil man won
But his day at Judgment will come
All that remained was a melody in the wind
And a poor boy with a Sony recorded him
Was the “Old Rugged Cross”That the people shunned
Colors in the Sky
She appeared out of nowhere
Attracted to me
Cute and very pretty
Like I “felt that”
Trying to get close to me
I can play that game too
Yes I want you and months passed
Nothing happened
No phone number
I have cried
And yet I respect her
I admire her
I wrote her little notes
And candy
Her eyes when making contact
Are brilliant diamonds
Amongst the night sky
I am more romantic than that
But I wish to be soaked in her sweat
On a ninety degree night when
All you hear are the crickets
I don’t want her to know
I feel this way
To kiss her all night
Until the sun comes up
And the sunshine opens the
Tulips in the morning
I once felt her cute spine
When I hugged her
I wish to kiss her in the freezer
Keep her warm next to me
Like two stupid birds
I am so human
It makes me more shy
Than I have ever been
And i want to know everything
