Almost Anything Goes

Short Saga Of the One-legged Hitch-hiker

Postby BenLaney » Mon Jun 23, 2003 12:07 pm

I saw a one-legged hitch-hiker
Standing out in the cold wind
So I pulled over to the shoulder
And said, Hey Buddy, hop on in!!

And just be (((((calm)))))
Yes, please be (((((calm)))))
I'm a crazy driver,
But you don't need to freak
You just hold on tighter
And try not to wet your seat
And just be (((((calm)))))
Yes, please be (((((calm)))))
Don't scream, I see that truck
Grab your knees now, and duck!!
And just be (((((calm)))))
Yes, please be (((((calm)))))
So what, we're flying through the air
You know we've got to come down somewhere!!
So just be (((((calm)))))
Yes, please be (((((calm)))))
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey be (((((calm)))))
It's okay, it's okay just be (((((calm)))))
"I was thinking something
But brought the thought to a stop
Because I suddenly realized
I can't afford for another brain-cell to POP!
Or to get busted by a poetry cop
For teaching a one-legged dancer to bop!!"

The Real Story Behind The Story

Postby BenLaney » Wed Jun 25, 2003 3:09 am

Hey!!
I just want to let you all know something about me. If I EVER do pick up a one-legged hitch-hiker for REAL, I will NOT drive like a maniac and make the poor guy PEE his pants!! REALLY, I'm being sooooooo totally SERIOUS now. I would treat the guy with dignity and respect, and I'd even share my donuts with him, if I happen to have some in the car. Furthermore, I would be (((((calm))))) and have polite conversation with him. I might ask something like, "Hey buddy, did an alligator eat your leg off, or what? Of course, I'd ask where he's from, too, and how far he's going. You know, casual like. Then, on the other hand, if he were to start saying, "Well, I just got out of prison for murdering a (((((calm))))) guy who picked me up hitch-hiking"......Then I might say, "Hey, buddy, I just remembered that I've got to go back the other way!! You'll have to hop out right here!!!" I'd be very nice and (((((calm))))) about it, though. Because that's the way I really am deep down inside!!!! :wink:

Newcomer Playin' Around

Postby BenLaney » Sun Jun 29, 2003 8:47 pm

I do not mean to get you scared :shock:
With any of the poetry I've shared
I assure you that it is all done
In the spirit of having some poetic fun :lol:

I am not an Edgar Allen Poe :twisted:
And I don't wish to be a Longfellow
I let my imagination roam free and unbound
I'm just the newcomer playin' around :wink:

Now, Thank you for checking in on me :oops:
And asking about my vocabulary
I know you may think I'm a little strange
Maybe that's because I'm slightly deranged!! :roll:

Playin' Out

Postby BenLaney » Sun Jun 29, 2003 9:35 pm

I did a show last in Felton town
People came from all around
Parents came with children in tow
This concert was for the young and old

I sang new tunes, and some from the past
And the evening went by pretty fast
Now I'm thinkin' someday, who knows??
I might meet Leah06 at one of my shows

Psychotherapy

Postby BenLaney » Tue Jul 01, 2003 4:16 pm

I am in the looney bin
They finally caught up with me
I've got lots and lots of new friends
We're all in psychotherapy
And the real nice doctors
Say I should get used to it here
Cause they think I might not be cured
For a couple of hundred years

La..La..La..Laaaaaaaa
Whoa..oh..oh..ooooooooh
Ha..ha..ha..haaaaaaaa
Where does the time gooooooooooo??
