Confused (velocity confusion)
I am confused, maybe I don’t know this situation
Just because of that, my feelings have been bruised
It’s been a hard road struggling to survive today
I decided to continue on with my life anyway
What is tomorrow, but just another set of stairs to climb
So then whatever develops, we still find out on time
Sometimes it’s difficult to stay focused these days
I am being blinded by the bright sunlight rays
North-South
Everyway east ends up here
The directions weren’t quite clear
My head is spinning, I am confused !
Don’t follow me ! Don’t follow me !
I traveled this way once before
My destination is up by the shore
The lighthouse is toward the east
It is hard to reach to say the least
North-south is every space
East to west there is no time to waste
I have done that over an hour now
I’m just about ready to throw in the towel
It is possible to return home
It seems like all I do is roam
Let’s give it another try
In the morning, we’ll say good-bye
One of three directions
May keep me out of the sun’s reflections
Time moves quickly when you are asleep
Sow the things that you want to reap
Dang Nab It
Drink a glass of ginger ale
When you track a storm cell
Freemont can be confusing
Northeast of the county of Paulding
Travel across route two
Over the Erie Bay View
To stay in Port Clinton
Sometime after one
He said dang nab it
I can’t get any work done
It’s just a bad habit
From a middle aged jerk
By evening time
I cleaned up the dust and grime
I just want to rest for an hour
Just to gain composure and power
Tomorrow I plan a whole new day
Just to spend me time away
If everything goes alright
We will sleep good here tonight
Warrior of the Bridge
They say that I am the warrior here
Just because I make my point clear
I awake every morning around five
Very thankful to be alive
I am no special person you see
I drink hot coffee and sometimes tea
There’s a bridge I do defend
Without it, the road comes to an end
Neighbors use it to get back home
Some of them actually live alone
A few days a week can be tough
When I’m tired and I’ve had enough !
But I always remember one thing
And the joy that it brings
When neighbors show their gratitude
This overshadows the ones that are rude
Warrior of the bridge is what I am called
Many like that title, others appalled
I always leave a light one for you
It’s just one of the thing that I do
Virtual Roulette
Disease spreads throughout the land
Cancer isn’t considered an epidemic
Viruses are passed by hand in hand
Many people have recently become sick
Antibiotics are sold over the counter
Most people trust them, others are unsure
Dozens of people get to their own doctors
Can’t walk because their feet are sore
The hospital beds are now filled up
The nurses are becoming very corrupt
They say it all began up near Buffalo
It is headed straight for San Francisco
Children are crying both day and night
Unfortunately there is no cure in sight
As the adults begin to feel somewhat ill
Today most medications can’t be refilled
It has become a dark day under blue skies
No one can hear over the baby’s cries
Maybe tomorrow things will be better
If it rains the soaked yard will get better
Chaos on the Grid
Drains clogged up once more
I will fix it, just don’t know when
Want to buy some weed killer
There’s a hole in the wall, I need filler
Batteries need charged, I do believe
It’s five forty-five, I must leave
Someone sent me mail yesterday
I’ll get to it sometime today
What’s the news on the neighborhood ?
Did Vickie marry Charlie Wood ?
When’s the party at the Beils ?
Hey that offer sounds like a deal !
It will be bedtime here soon
What happened to the raccoon ?
Do you want to eat a light snack ?
I’ll be fine, if I manage to stay on track
