Life is looking lighter
I done thrown some lucky dice.
Packed my trunk, I'm leaving
float down south to paradise.
Going fishing in the morning
with a chicken that knows my name.
Said the sky fell down last night
after the poolhall went insane.
Fadeaway encounter
through black hills and green water.
If I win the lottery I swear
I spark your daughter.
Everything costs too much
In this dirty old town.
So we mostly stand on the corner
clicking our heels around.
Seen Ranger on the court sqaure
about as high as I can see.
Mumbling about how it ain't fair
he didn't shoot no deputy.
Told me about the old man
Arbuckle is dead.
Then he started to grandstand
went and let it get to his head.
Fadeaway encounter
through black hills and green water.
Don't ask me cause it all depends
float downstream, then float on farther.
I said mister can you help me
my pontoon's sprung a leak.
She told me that she loved me
then sold me down the creek.
They run me from the backyard
to Smith Station backwater shield.
No I don't run no stop signs
but I always tend to yield.
Yeah once I had a true love
Like all my friends she's dead and gone.
That night she pledged her time to me
came down on me like wood on bone.
Fadeaway encounter
Through black hills and green water.
I'd give you a cigarette
if I only had a dollar.
Went down to the courthouse
to talk about back support.
I said hey man I can't afford
to keep this boat afloat.
He's the king of Shadowville
eats what he kills
he's a self made man.
Good luck to you all,
someone has to take the fall
he'll smile when he shakes your hand -
The preacher man was snarling
I swear he had blood in his eyes.
The middle of Summertime
but these streets are cold as ice.
Everything I'm saying
let me make it perfectly clear.
The hanging judge has no pity
rules this town with fear.
Fadeaway encounter
through black hills and green water.
I have to remind myself this time
I remember that I forgot her.
Floating by the backlots
Chicken's got his spurs on now.
He's got his big red hat on
raving about some gospel plow.
I said mister can you tell me
how can a chicken know my name?
He said son
all the little people know your name.
Aliens ants and angels
green monkeys in the trees
Common folks in offices
that kill you by degrees.
Fadeaway encounter
through black hills and green water.
I swear if I play this game again
I'll trade this boat for a helicopter.

Oops! Looked like you conveniently snipped the most important bit of my
post, which I reinstate for those who might not have noticed your
inelegant sleight of hand manouevre:
A terrible thing to admit, but I've been known to post
a poem to usenet with spelling errors in it.
When it happens, I'll generally post a correction as soon
as I spot the error, together with an apology to the group
for disrespecting them by not proof-reading thoroughly
enough before pressing the old submit button thingy.
But that's just my way ...
Sometimes, only the whole message is good enough, Will, especially when
you see fit to reinstate the newsgroups I'd so thoughtfully snipped from
my response.

Because I didn't find it to be that important... but that's just my
opinion, so go ahead...

As a majority here on Usenet have, at times...

Same here.

No thanks, Mushmouth... my use of the word is a reference the readers

Chug A Lug-Chug A Lug Hear Me Hollar Hi Dee Ho
he was propped in the crutch of an oak tree-looking do -singing
"there's a man going round taking names" indeed -i nod howdy-he nods
howdy back "well he took my mother's name-left' me there in pain" i,
who am holding a glass of sand in one hand & a calf's head in the
other-i look up & say "are you hungry?" & he say "there's a man going
round taking names" & i say "good nuff" & keep walking his voice rings
thru the valley-it sounds like a telephone it is very disturbing-"you
need anything up there?"-i'm going to town" he shakes his head "well
he took my sister's name & i aint never been the same" "right-o" i say-
tie my shoelace & keep walking-then i turn & say "if you need any help
getting down, 'just you come to town & tell me" he doesn't even
hear-"well he took my uncle's name & you know he wasn't to blame"
"groovy" i say & continue my way to town ...it couldn't 've been more
'n a few hours later when i happened to be passing by again-in the
spot where the tree was, a lightbulb factory now stood-"did there used
to be a guy here in a tree?" i yelled up to one of the windows-"are
you looking for work?" was the reply ...it was then when i decided
that marxism did not have all the answers why are you so frightened of
being embarrassed? you spend a lot of time on the toilet dont you? why
dont you admit it? why are you so embarrassed to be frightened? your

OB
You need to understand that (a) his preferred "audience" - a glass of
beer - is notably tolerant and forgiving in such respects, and (b) he
can't relate from any personal experience to the idea that a typo
might hurt the eyes, since none has so far ever hurt his. If these two
points are understood, the Duck's attitude becomes quite logical.

Beer can turn nasty - believe me (or at least my stomach) on this point.
On the main point, your comments are useful, but not central to the
matter in hand - in my view, of course. I'm not interested in Will's
potential excuses, just his genuine views on why he thinks it is okay to
disrespect an audience by posting poems with typos, and then not seeing
fit to apologise to them for not proofing the copy before posting.
Rik, knee deep.

No excuses, just in too big a hurry to post, and assuming all the errors
have been caught.

I never really thought about it that way, but I suppose you're right... I'll
try harder to get the typos out in future poems.

Actually ''apologizing'' to the ''audience'' seems a bit much, still...

I made a horrible mistake in posting the obscure traditional
California limerick a few days ago. I used the word peche instead of
the correct word pinche. It seems that it has nothing to do with fish
after all. My apologies.

Nah, Rik's a real person... apparently. Here's his photo on the Usenet
