The Fool

The Fool

I taught my foolish dog
how to behave himself.
He resisted at first
but with his kind eye and good heart
he acquiesced to my teaching.

The class began at home,
then field, hill and valley,
sea shore and forest.
All seemed to smile upon
master and pupil.

How he shone under my guidance!
Proud to introduce him to
friend and stranger.
An ally recruited to my cause,
was he not my creation?

The season's turned and witnessed
this signed alliance.
Footprint signatures written on path and trail.
Crossing and recrossing
ever onward interwoven.

The years flowed by with my qualified friend,
inseperable comrades we'd surely walk for ever.
In such good company
it was too easy to forget
school was out.

From scholar to old soldier!
Still graceful and now dignified.
He wore his years well
with the invisable medals
from many an adventure and campaign.

Then the terrible day came,
when i knelt to stroke that gentle head
for the last time.
How could this be. My beautiful friend
with the foolish ways.

I tried to behave myself
but as the tears coursed down my face,
I realised.
In all those years, in all those miles,
He had been my teacher
and I was just a fool.

That is very cool man. Love it.

Thank you,
I would tell but then you'd be very confused.

Here is one I posted once in a big run of something. very moody

Death is Life and You're The Failure

The stars above
majestic loving bliss
it's like a magic kiss

The world below
it's venom cancer piss
I want no more of this
There are several ways

There are better ways
Some several days
to die but they all lead to here
End of story

Lips embrace ascent
Feeling sanctified
and now a friend and not alone

Bites from below
a shallow hole
Memories just want to go

There are several ways
There are better ways
Some several days
to die but they all lead to here
End of story.

My song lyrics are like flypaper, everyone runs and leaves your apartment after.
