This One Time........ more poetry

[graidawg]

This one time,

I saw an octopus were there was no sea,and a man that needs a pee

met a woman on her knees, and a trawler built for wheels

saw a lightshow on the ground, and heard a temples infected sound

spent a week in the burning sun, oh my gosh it was such fun

this one time,

I past a tent full of doors, and one with ponys on the walls

got advice on getting laid, from a lovely sexy babe

shared a beer with added lime, and chatted to pass the time

at a city that leaves no trace, such a friendly exciting place

this one time

I rode a shark lit in blue, and found some wine in a loo

shaved my head in the dark, in a kinky venture park

fished for hippies from a pier, here's a clue the bait was beer

there is no place i would rather go, to the camp and wine bistro

this one time

I met a fox and all the rest, with a bunny in a dress

rode a cart with the moon, then shared a gas balloon

saw the time a mile away, and with a goddess had a play

all of this and far far more, in a place that is no more

this one time

I saw a swing with added bling, and this most amazing thing

saw a lion waking past,and some zebra running fast

a wooden horse full of fire, and a dreams funeral pyre

I never felt I was alone, in a place I now call home

this one time

Just the other morning as I was singing a spontaneously composed little playaized ditty while getting ready for work, my mind wandered off to you, Graidawg, and the fact that I hadn't seen one of your compositions in a while.....

And BOOM. Almost instant delivery.




You're welcome.

[graidawg]

I have a few others in production at the moment but cant find the right style for them. I think after the places you will go video im kind of stuck in Dr seuss mode. which is no bad thing

thank you all for the praise it really motivates me to write more.

The Burner by Graidawg

the ticket mess will end so soon
and we'll be going home
hippies, ponies, frats fed with spoon
the desert they will roam

the bitching, whining, angst and woe
will fade as revel starts
both vets and Burngins, all will go
and dance to Larry's farts.

we know each year, it is the way
and home well be, not long
so tell 'em all: "fuck your day"
and sing the Burner song.

[wh..sh]

"dance to Larry's farts" - Now I know what I did wrong last year.

can you Describe burning Man to me

describe the sky to one that cant see.

oh, well its blue

they can't see blue, or grey or even the clouds, its just like that to you.

what is it happens at Black Rock City?

I didn't see it all, more is the pity

what did you do?

things that where different from things you would do

what did you see?

i saw things different, for you are not me

who did you meet?

some people that where there in the street

what is it like?

you'll never forget, like riding a bike

what should i wear?

whatever you like, or possibly go bare

what would i do?

I do not know, for i am not you

did you have fun?

not nearly enough, but them i'm not done

oh can you tell me more?

I ran and played, sometimes I strayed.

I went for a walk and then had a talk

where i ordered a hug, then saw a car like a bug

found things then lost them then found them again, set fire to myself (and that was a pain)

saw some great art and some not so fine, but mostly i had a whale of a time

Is that all that you done?

i just cant remember all that went on

where did you roam?

I went to a place that is called Home

is it for me?

i dont know why dont we see?

to my l'il Dawgies

saint trilobyte of the infinite patience hear our plea
please get a ticket just for me
make my camp survive this fiasco
we just need a few more to go

Saint Anti M of wisdom divine hear our plea
pleas get a ticket for my camp not me
its for members of our core
or else our camp will be no more

Saint Savannah of beauty divine hear our plea
please get a ticket one not many
we failed in the lottery before the main sale
we need it to serve burners fine ale

Saint Eric of picture and word hear our plea
please get a ticket for my friends and me
its needed to for burners to go
not to replace beloved fandango

Saint Shambla of the wonderous cloth hear our plea
we need a ticket for burners you see
for with out them our wonderful theme
at burning Man will never be seen

Saint Larry of the man that burns Here our plea
we need tickets we're burners you see
we trusted for you too help us roam
to that place you created we now call HOME

Those are both awesome G-Dawg!

If you don't mind I might take the first one, and copy paste it into a word doc, screw with the font a little bit, then print it off on some nice paper, and hang it at home?

(((Grai))) I'm drunk again, sorry, but I really love your blog.

[knowmad]

I'm either drunk, or blind again?
A lose piece in these parts.

We divide one vigour in half.
And forfeit
the others insight
for vision.
