I'm just a guy
With one eye
How it got in the middle
Is really a great riddle
Brought by The One on high

My anger

My anger© Rob Hood 2003
WALLS PEA GREEN
OBSCURE THE DEPTHS I'VE SEEN
MY CHILDHOOD WAS HELL
I COULDN'T END IT
I WAS AFRAID TO YELL
PARENTS DIDN'T WANT TO KNOW
ABUSE WENT ON
IT WAS A GO
DEPRESSION WAS MY OBSESSION
ANGUISH, HATRED TURNED INNER
MAKES ONE THINK
IN A PAST LIFE I WAS A SINNER
I WAS HIS SLUT
I WAS HIS TOOL
IT MADE ME A NUT
ANGER WAS MY FUEL
MUCH OF MY LIFE WAS TROUBLED
OFTEN I WAS SAD
PROBLEMS OFTEN DOUBLED
I THOUGHT THAT I WAS BAD
WE FINALLY MOVED FROM THAT HELL HOLE
IT WAS MY SAVING GRACE
MY PARENTS HADN'T TOLD ME WE WERE MOVING
OUR RELATIONSHIP HAD NO BASE
THE REASON FOR OUR MOVE
WAS MORE OF OUR KIND
WERE FOUND IN THE CITY
MY MOM LEFT HER BEST MEMORIES BEHIND
AND ALWAYS FELT THE MOVE WAS A PITY
SOME PARENTS SHOULD BE BARREN
THEIR KIDS, THEY'D BE A' SPARIN'
AS I FACE EACH DAILY TEST
I KNOW I'LL MEET WHATEVER MY QUEST
FOR I AS A CHILD
ALONE HAVE FACED
SOMETHING WILD
A BEAST ENCASED
SINCE I SURVIVED MY CHILDHOOD TEST
NOTHING WORSE WILL BEAT MY BEST

I want to bottle this day

A SUNNY DAY
THE SKY WAS BLUE
THAT IS A HUE
QUITE PRETTY
THAT BECKONS TO ME
EVEN IN THIS CITY
TO NOT ENJOY SUCH A DAY
WOULD TRULY BE A PITY
THINKING ABOUT IT MAKES
ME FEEL QUITE GIDDY
THE COLORS BRILLIANT FROM THE SUN
YIELD ME ENERGY BY THE TON
IT IS QUITE A SIGHT
IT IS WARM AND BRIGHT
I'M FEELING GOOD
I'M FEELING FINE
I WANT TO BOTTLE THIS DAY
TO MAKE IT MINE

MY THOUGHTS ON STANDING IN LINE AT THE POST OFFICE

MY THOUGHTS ON STANDING IN LINE AT THE POST OFFICE©Rob Hood 2003



GET YOUR TICKET FOR THE LINE

FOURTEEN TO GO, STILL FEELIN’ FINE

KEEP ON SMILIN’, NO NEED TO PINE

I’LL BUY THE STAMPS AND THE EVENING WILL BE MINE

I’LL COME ON HOME AND GRAB A STEIN

SOME DRINK BEER, I’LL MAKE MINE WINE

SO THE DAY HAS PASSED AND SAILED

NOW I’LL FINISH THIS POEM AND GET IT EMAILED

MY LOVE ©ROB HOOD 2003


ARE YOU GOING OR WILL YOU STAY?

I’LL BE HERE, I WILL OBEY

I’M AT YOUR SIDE

I WILL NOT STRAY

AND I’LL REMAIN

TILL MY DYING DAY



WHEN YOU LEFT ME

I WAS DOWN

I WENT EVERYWHERE WITH A FROWN

DAYS WERE GLOOMY

THEY WERE GRAY AND BROWN

NOW YOU’RE BACK

AND WE’RE GOING TO TOWN



WHEN YOU LEFT ME I FELT SO SAD

I NEVER REALIZED ALL THAT I HAD

THAT YOU’D COME BACK AGAIN

WAS WHAT I PRAYED

MY PRAYERS WERE ANSWERED

NOW WE GOT IT MADE




I WAS HALF, YOU MADE ME WHOLE

STAYING TOGETHER FOREVER

NOW IS MY GOAL

YOU ARE IN MY HEART

YOU’RE IN MY SOUL

AND LOVING YOU IS MY ROLE



WHEN YOU LEFT ME I FELT SO SAD

I NEVER REALIZED ALL THAT I HAD

THAT YOU’D COME BACK AGAIN

WAS WHAT I PRAYED

MY PRAYERS WERE ANSWERED

NOW WE GOT IT MADE

When it's below thirty two degrees
I enjoy donning my skis
Off the mountain I will fly
And I pray that I won't die
When I collide with trees

She was shy

She was shy© 3-27-11

A gal who was painfully shy
When approaching a cute fellow would cry
She thought her love was in vain
Because she was plain
But her big hooters made her desirable to his eye
