Nobody Knows You If You Are Down And Out

Highway To Heaven Bumper Sticker Found Poem

Milton Slams Into Florida And Destroys Margo Largo – Washes It Out To Sea

With all the lies

About FEMA

And hurricane relief

Spreading after the storms

 

And his downplaying the storm

Claiming again

Climate change is a hoax

Vowing to enact

 

A national don’t call it climate change

And pull out of all climate change

International agreement

 

And vowing to cut back

Federal spending on weather forecasting

And hurricane relief funding

Leaving it up to the states

 

It appears that MargoLlargo

Could be hit hard by MargoLlargo

It would be poetic justice

If Margo Largo is swept

out to sea.

 

God if you are listening

Make it happen

Send Trump some device justice

Smite him where it hurts.

 

Trump Be A Crazy Old Man -(Semi-Found Poem)

 

Quote the Ddonald:

The new thing is hydrogen.

They have hydrogen cars.

They have one problem.

 

Occasionally, it blows up.

And when it blows up,

You are not recognizable.

 

 

Comment:  wtf is on about? Is this part

Of his infamous weaving

Of disjointed comments

Into a word salad

Only he understands. End comment

 

Comment: and this naturally leads to

 

.”.crooked Joe Biden became mentally impaired,

but lying’ Kamala Harris,

I really believe,

 

I believe

She was born this way.

there’  something

Wrong with her,

 

And you know what?

Every…body…knows…it.

 

Comment: the only person who knows this

Is the stable genius trump end comment

 

Nobody Knows You When You Are Down And Out

 

Nobody knows you

When you are down and out

Friends, you have none

When you are down and out.

 

When you are homeless

No one knows your name

Or even cares

When you are down and out.

 

You are invisible

A broken-down soul

Living on the mean streets.

 

Waiting for the Grim Reaper

To take you away

When you are down and out

 

Stairway to Heaven Bumper Sticker Found Poem

 

 

 

 

 

 

The fact that

there is a stairway to Heaven

and an highway to Hell

Tells you a lot

About the expected traffic.

 

 

Stairway to Heaven

Song by

Led Zeppelin

Led Zeppelin – Stairway To Heaven (Live at Earls Court 1975): Watch here

Heart – Stairway to Heaven (Live at Kennedy Center Honors): Watch here

There’s a lady who’s sure, all that glitters is gold
And she’s buying a stairway to heaven
When she gets there she knows
If the stores are all closed
With a word, she can get what she came for

Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh
And she’s buying a stairway to heaven

There’s a sign on the wall, but she wants to be sure
‘Cause you know, sometimes words have two meanings
In a tree by the brook, there’s a songbird who sings
Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven

Ooh, it makes me wonder
Ooh, it makes me wonder

There’s a feeling I get when I look to the west
And my spirit is crying for leaving
In my thoughts, I have seen rings of smoke through the trees
And the voices of those who stand looking

Ooh, it makes me wonder
Ooh, it really makes me wonder

And it’s whispered that soon, if we all call the tune
Then the piper will lead us to reason
And a new day will dawn for those who stand long
And the forests will echo with laughter

Whoa-whoa-whoa, oh-oh

If there’s a bustle in your hedgerow, don’t be alarmed now
It’s just a spring clean for the May Queen
Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run
And there’s still time to change the road you’re on

And it makes me wonder
Oh, whoa-oh

Your head is humming and it won’t go
In case you don’t know
The piper’s calling you to join him

Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow?
And did you know
Your stairway lies on the whispering wind?

And as we wind on down the road
Our shadows taller than our soul
There walks a lady we all know
Who shines white light and wants to show

How everything still turns to gold
And if you listen very hard
The tune will come to you at last
When all are one and one is all, yeah
To be a rock and not to roll

And she’s buying a stairway to heaven

Highway to Hell

Song by

AC/DC

AC/DC – Highway to Hell (Live At River Plate, December 2009): Watch here

AC/DC – Highway to Hell (Live – from Countdown, 1979): Watch here

Livin’ easy, lovin’ free

Season ticket on a one-way ride
Askin’ nothin’, leave me be
Takin’ everything in my stride

Don’t need reason, don’t need rhyme
Ain’t nothin’ I’d rather do
Goin’ down, party time
My friends are gonna be there too, yeah

I’m on the highway to hell
On the highway to hell
Highway to hell
I’m on the highway to hell

No stop signs, speed limit
Nobody’s gonna slow me down
Like a wheel, gonna spin it
Nobody’s gonna mess me around

Hey Satan, payin’ my dues
Playin’ in a rocking band
Hey momma, look at me
I’m on my way to the promised land, wow

I’m on the highway to hell
Highway to hell
I’m on the highway to hell
Highway to hell

Mm, don’t stop me
Eh-woo

I’m on the highway to hell
On the highway to hell
I’m on the highway to hell
On the highway to hell

Highway to hell (I’m on the highway to hell)
Highway to hell (highway to hell)
Highway to hell (I’m on the highway to hell)
Highway to hell

And I’m goin’ down
All the way, wow
On the highway to hell
