Hold on to your britches
Because you're in for a wild ride
The negotiator ignited
On fire?
What color is your grass?
Is the grass always greener on the other aside? This issue could go up for debate but, I have neither the time nor the energy to do so. I'm far too busy living life than to be concerned about what other people think of me. If my head was stuck in the sand, I would like somebody to help me out but, otherwise; I'm on a journey called life. There are surprises around every corner. I have learned that one has to be careful of where you stick your nose. Not everything smells peachy... The traveling man
Will he make it out of his own house?
He lives in a hole in the wall. His name is Sam. He comes out late at night because he likes the night life. This, is his favorite spot to hang out. Recently, he is being followed by unscrupulous bounty hunters hired by the mob to take him out. He has no idea that he is being followed; but, he is starting to get a little paranoid because he is noticing someone following him around every corner. Is this a dud?
One day, a man was out in a field firing rockets up into the sky with his children. Everything was going great until there was this one rocket that just wouldn't take off. His youngest child walked up to the rocket and placed both hands on it while he gave it a nudge.The rocket takes off into the sky taking the small little child for a wild ride.
That was the last we saw of little Billy, and that was 25 years ago.
I wonder where he is now...
All I want to do, is be loved
Now, is that too much to ask?
Well, apparently so. As I sit and fester in my own muck; I guess I'll just have to figure out a way to love my self. Is there a manual for this? How long will I be able to stand the confusion? Will it get the best of me? You'll have to wait and see as I continue down the road of adventure. Then, I'll head on over to the happy pontoons of joy. The more I relish
In the enthusiastic
The unEarthly tales of mystery
The hallways in my head
There are hallways in your head?
Boy, you really do need help. I think that maybe they have a doctor that could remedy that problem, or do they? Have you ever been to a rubber room or a funny farm? I have a solution
Or do I?
I'm a party animal
I really am
My owner thought it would be really great to put this hat on me, bake me a cake, and throw me a party but, to be honest with you; I don't feel so hot. This shirt thing that they put on me is really starting to itch. I'm a cat, I can't eat that huge cake; and besides, all I really want is a can of tuna. I found the way out
I did
Here I go. I am going to go hang out with the alley cats now. I know that they won't make me swim with the fishes. God only knows that I ate all of the food from the dishes. Off I go to start a new life. I want to live like I never lived before; with no restrictions or limitations. I want to go live it up with the ladies and become the king of my own parade. I'm off to find my castle. Here I go, stepping out on my own; and welcoming the unknown. I hope you enjoyed the reading
