Perception

It often starts with a simple act of deception

Was it presented as a carefully thought out plan?

The road to hell is paved with good intentions

During impending bliss for a woman and a man.

 

What seemed like a very good idea at the inception

Now leads to a prize you had no wish to win

You wait for months for the grand reception

Learning how to fasten a garment with a safety pin

 

Did we perhaps engage in a little self-deception?

Should we have used some sort of contraception?

Was it all simply a matter of miscommunication?

Were those promises subject to misinterpretation?

 

It appears you can neither run nor hide

Do the results put you in a good or bad situation?

Only you know the answer, and you must decide.

A joy or a curse? It’s all a matter of perception.

Summer --Creative Challenge #268--

Some are born to greatness by pure twist of fate

They manage to create marvelous inventions

There is never too much for them on their plates

They receive praise and seldom any criticism

 

Far too often their names are lost in history

It is quite the thing, never having to fear a stumble

Many are content to live their lives in obscurity

A truly great man is one who knows how to be humble

 

Stories are told of the world's greatest mathematician

To him mathematics was pure joy, never a bummer

He would marvel people doing huge lists of addition

It was thrilling to watch him; he was a great summer.

Corner -- Creative Challenge 267

He was a man of few words, never a complainer

Life was at full speed, he was not an abstainer

He sang lustfully in the shower, but he was no crooner

Ask him to dinner at eight, and he might show up sooner

When he did arrive it was usually with great hunger.

 

Among his siblings he became a coparcener

Invested all he had to become a gardener

For the down trodden he became a campaigner

He was always comfortable in the role of the commoner

His smile lit up the room, he was a real grinner.

 

He hailed from Ireland, and was proud to be a Dubliner

It would be a mistake to ask him if he was a Londoner

He took up pugilism to see if he could be a little meaner

When he took a solid shot to the jaw he felt like a stoner

In pain and humiliation he slowly crawled back to his corner.

Revenge

Good evening everyone and welcome to WTIM FM 89.3 in Little Rock Arkansas, I’m Tim Culey. Tonight we have a special broadcast live from the Circuit Court in Little Rock where Mr. Hoyt Axton is currently testifying about what many feel is a means to get  revenge on drug dealers. Court is about to begin … let’s listen in to see what Mr. Axton has to say.

 

 

The Court is now in session, Honorable Donald Wildmon presiding.

 

Judge: Be seated. Is the Prosecutor ready?

 

Prosecutor The State is ready, your honor.

 

Judge: Call your first witness.

 

Prosecutor The state calls Mr. Hoyt Axton.

 

Prosecutor For the record, please state your line of work.

 

HOYT AXTON I am a songwriter and singer.

 

Prosecutor: Are you aware of your rights under the Fifth Amendment.

 

HOYT AXTON I am.

 

Prosecutor Are you willing to waive those rights for purposes of this hearing?

 

HOYT AXTON I am

 

Prosecutor: Is it true you've smoked a lot of grass?

 

HOYT AXTON It is true, and O' Lord, I've popped a lot of pills.

 

Prosecutor: I want to remind you that you are under oath.

 

Prosecutor: What else did you do?


HOYT AXTON I never touched nothin' that my spirit could kill

 

Prosecutor: Would you care to explain your alleged reluctance for those items?


HOYT AXTON You know, I've seen a lot of people walkin' 'round with tombstones in their eyes

 

Prosecutor Let the record show the defendant is speaking metaphorically.

 

HOYT AXTON Actually I was speaking euphorically, but we’ll do this your way.

 

Prosecutor: In your opinion, do you believe that the person responsible for this euphoria has any regrets about his alleged involvement?

 

HOYT AXTON The pusher don't care if you live or if you die

 

Prosecutor: If it were in your power to ask for assistance in dealing with this problem, whom would you ask?

 

HOYT AXTON God.


Prosecutor: And what would you suggest God do?

 

HOYT AXTON God, damn the Pusher

 

Prosecutor For the record, would you repeat your request?


HOYT AXTON I said God, damn the Pusher man


Prosecutor: In your experience have you even known a female to participate in this activity?


HOYT AXTON You know the dealer. The dealer is a man with the love grass in his hand

 

Prosecutor: Are you trying to insinuate that I personally am acquainted with this “dealer?”

 

Prosecutor: How does this “dealer” differ from the pusher?


HOYT AXTON Oh the pusher is a monster. Good God, he's not a natural man


Prosecutor: So you are you saying the pusher has artificially enhanced himself through HGH and other steroids, as have most professional athletes?

 

Prosecutor: Let’s proceed to the cost of engaging in this activity.

 

HOYT AXTON The dealer for a nickel will sell you lots of sweet dreams

 

Prosecutor: And this differs from the Pusher how?


HOYT AXTON The pusher ruins your body

 

Prosecutor: In your experience, has a person who engaged in this activity been able to coherently discuss his experience later?

 

HOYT AXTON Lord, he'll leave your mind to scream


Prosecutor: Again, for the record, please tell the court what you would suggest be done by a higher power, no matter what you perceive him to be?

 

HOYT AXTON God, damn the Pusher


Prosecutor: I’m sorry, I didn’t quite catch that. Would you say it again?


HOYT AXTON I said God, damn the Pusher man


Prosecutor If Mr. Obama should happen to call you to the White House to discuss this matter, what advice do you have for him?


HOYT AXTON Well, now if I were the President of this land, you know, I'd declare total war on the Pusher man

 

Prosecutor: In the unlikely event that this was to take place, how would you handle the Pusher?


HOYT AXTON I'd cut him if he stands, and I'd shoot him if he'd run

 

Prosecutor: You would do that?

 

HOYT AXTON Yes.

Prosecutor: Anything else you would do?

 


HOYT AXTON I'd kill him with my Bible and my razor and my gun


Prosecutor: Would you repeat one final time what you said earlier in reference to your Higher Power?


HOYT AXTON I said God, damn the Pusher man


Prosecutor: I have no further questions, you may fall down

 

 

This concludes our program tonight on WTIM. Our special guest has been Mr. Hoyt Axton discussing his opinions on how to deal with the drug problem in this country.

 

A program note: On upcoming shows on WTIM we will be conducting a series of interviews with notable public figures, including Hamlet, John Lennon, Paul McCartney and others. For the homemakers in the audience we will have a very interesting talk with Lady Macbeth in which she shares some timely tips on spot removal. Be sure to stay tuned.

 

This is Tim Culey reminding those out and about on the highways and byways heading home after the long Labor Day weekend, drivers are safer when the roads are dry, but EVERYONE is safer when the drivers are dry.

Good night, and good luck.
