Getting Close to My Home

Getting Close to My Home                       November 16, 2013

Shall it be another day to forget
Or worse, to remember, and to fret?

Shall I be burdened with your sorrows
By day, as well as mine?

An ice cream sundae would do me well
If only I could dream of a day
Where the vanities doth fly away.

And look at you, Sue,
O' my! And how do you do?
I shall one day be avenged!
A life 'pon the tapestry,
A Hastings so dastardly,
And my sanctity of self-rule

Has been violated till dead!

Let those Franks come rushing in!

I swear they'll forever do it again!

Like a bowl of future escargots!

You should tear down my wall now,
For you shall ne'er breach me again!

I shall ne'er sing of your love again
Till the day I am to die,

And then onward to the Heavenly sky!

I hitched a ride 'pon my motorcycle
Bound for that state of mind
Where I know I shall forever unwind!

Ev'ry mile I will traverse
Shall carry me one closer to home;

I am getting close to my home.

I want to see my life smile,
I want to be happy awhile,

But I know amid my Dunkirk,
My troubles shall force me to abscond!

No more Fascists, Nazis, nor Commies
To persecute me unto night!

O'! Let my spirit bleed me till I'm dry!
