The Pumpkin Smash


to the tune of Monster Mash


We all came out from our humble abodes

To get a another jolt from the mother lode

He from his apartment in the West End east

To St. James in Kits where the singers feast


[Chorus]

He did the smash, he did the pumpkin smash

The pumpkin smash, it was a sidewalk bash

He did the smash, it caught on in a flash

He did the smash, He did the pumpkin smash


The dim wit walked briskly down a dim lit street

Where he caught his toe on uneven concrete

Then the slab toward his face began to rise

And suddenly to his surprise


[Chorus]


Once gravity takes over there’s little one can do

So the fuse was lit for the sidewalk blues

Thoughts of stop drop and roll seem rather smug

As inertia dictates trip hug and mug


[Chorus]


There is a sidewalk bug walking through this city

The seams aren’t level - must be the work of the devil

The sidewalk wins as it flat out lies and sins

Dreaming of the past - sidewalks come up fast


[Chorus]

my Lot

My Jesus, My Lord.  Am I destined for hell? Your taste extremely bitter, Intoxicating fragrance can’t smell.   You’re without sin but I wallow in it. I’m the black sheep of the flock in more ways than one.   A man that loves men, that’s what I am.   This you already know as part of your plan.   I must be myself, the best that I can.   When among  others, idly we talk.  Not gospel of song but gossip of rot.   I ponder O Lord, what’s to be my Lot?   Enter a fiery furnace that eradicates me?   Like Judas Iscariot, disgraced and hung in a tree?   Or be the woman at the well that you set free?   Will I become a violent Hitler or a peaceful Ghandi?   I must be myself, the best that I can.  © David Girard 25/03/15

Left Port

If right is right what’s left is to fight. This right biased world can be very unfair To the ten percent of us that do not share  The desire for starboard when we just left port. Way out in left field? Perhaps I could be as conformity bleeds abnormal for me. © David Girard 29/03/15

The Apiary (Plight of the Humble Bees)

Dew you know, of this wee place? It Bee BeeQueen, Fairhaven and Pleasant Hill, Bee Meadowgreen? In nature’s lea may Bee a scene. An active hive, so it seems! Do not be duped, for you must see! Look past the expanse of humanity. Is there a problem? There may not Bee. ‘Trust in God’ and you will see! Fruits borne of labor. The apiary. Beehold a lass toiling hard, Bee side the Bees in her backyard. Her grunts and groans are not alone. A harmonic symphony with the drones! What to name this harvest gold? Something new?  Invoke the auld? Will it be witty?  Will it rhyme? Will it stand the test of time? The dilemma therein is what to call The honey held so dear by all. Is there a problem? There may not Bee. ‘Trust in God’ and you will see! Fruits borne of labor. The apiary. ©-David Girard- -25/10/11-
