As a songwriter, I sometimes have thoughts or ideas that wouldn't particularly make a good song. This is the outlet for that stuff...

Meme's the Word


Why you gotta be so meme?

Like meme and apple pie

He's just not that into meme

I've got a meme and I

Know how to use it

Live and let meme

Give meme a chance

No visible memes of support

The million meme march

I'm the meme of the world

You got some meme to say?

Cool memes

Memes be like...

Calgon, take meme away

Universal meme care

All's well that memes well

Your fifteen minutes of meme

One meme to rule them all

There is no “I” in “meme”

Let's put memes on the ground

Memes of endearment

The meme generation

By any memes necessary

I have low meme esteem

I want my meme TV

10,000 memes to master anything

I support rights for memes

Eat organic memes and rice

“One small meme for man...”

This is the meme-ing of life

Somewhere


A mother died

The bomb ripped through the oblique

Wall of foreign policy

Her eulogy

In less than ninety characters

As a matter of fact

Between the ice storm and the

Long-stemmed rose shortage

The same black on gray font

The same margins and spaces

The same twenty-six letters

The ink fades like our page-thin

Solicitude

Never


...give your frog a boat

He won't know how to make it float

He'd stare at it with froggy eyes

Then trade it for a bag of flies


Never give your mouse a car

He'll leave the driver's door ajar

'Til all his mousy friends and kin

Bring all their kids and move right in


Never give your bird a plane

The neighbors surely would complain

When, instead of tweets at four

They're wakened by a startling roar


And never, ever, for the world

Give your pig a string of pearls

For piggy pigs won't just make do

She'll want a set of earrings too

Time and Dreams and Waterfalls


The stuff of sonnets

Songs

And odes

Their mysteries we've oft

Explored

Down briared paths and

Open roads

Each parallels the movement of

Our lives

Along immortal streams

'Til time and dreams are

Cast to sea

And love and waterfalls

Remain
