  • So Then Sunday: New Cat Scratcher … Sir?

    Since the end of February I have been dealing with a back issue, a really bad back issue actually, after popping it turning a doorknob at the bottom of a flight of stairs at the old apartment. I know, the simplest of things right? I mean if you’re going to pull your back it should… Continue reading

  • Proud To Be A Charlatan (song)

    So, a good friend, who I will call Bart here to protect the innocent, plus I don’t know his phone # or his address to truly dox him and put his family at risk, mentioned after I just re-posted my Orange Album of Beatles parody tunes from back in 2019 (a pretty damn fine collection… Continue reading

  • The Orange Album – (songs revisit ala the Beatles from ’19)

    I recently re-posted a tune of mine from back in 2019, a version of the Beatles “Fixing a Hole”, back when I was exclusively using Beatles songs to make my points (I haven’t stopped in this regard, I just branched out to different artists, different tunes, but points still have to be made after all,… Continue reading

  • Ricky & I (short story – beginnings)

    Ricky & I We watched them warily, Ricky and I, and held back at a safe distance eventually going the other direction down the other side of the street so as to be even safer still as the older high school kids toilet papered and egged houses ahead of us as some sort of shit… Continue reading

  • Brand New Trump Key (song)

    Back in January I visited Melanie’s “What Have They Done To My Song” for another of my parodies, though I am loathe to call them such as that implies “silly” and these certainly are NOT silly (for the most part). I’ve been working this angle for going on 7 years now with quite a lot… Continue reading

  • Talk To The Wind (poem)

    Thought, as I have done before, to put some of my recent tunes into one convenient post. You’re welcome. ////////////////////////////////////////// Some boogie-woogie fun. God Made Trump: Yeah, That Was In Error So back in ’46 when God took a break After world at war that had so much at stake He blinked for second and… Continue reading

  • What, No Rapture?! (eclipse post)

    So when all is said and uh … eclipsed … it was kind of a nothingburger this whole eclipse brouhaha, and it happened behind the cover of clouds from where I was at in the Hudson Valley anyway, like the wizard doing funky wizard shit but all behind the curtain and then producing nothing special… Continue reading
