it’s mostly the hair
there’s the smiles the glances
the bounce in the steps
but it’s mostly the hair
it’s unspoken
they keep changing it
they know I’m not one

who’s to say I’m not singin’
when I swear at other drivers
they can’t hear me
 
when birds sing
who’s to say they’re not swearin’
‘cuz they’re pissed at eatin’ worms
 
hey asshole stop singin’ an’ drive    birdbrain
 
who’s to say worms don’t sing
maybe we can’t hear ‘em

Coffee Shop Choices

2/5/2018

By Bob Dougherty 

For a cup of real excitement choose Bold Pick Of The Day;
or for great taste, Cinnamon Dolce Latte. 


But if you want to be cool — Caffé Frappuccino,
maybe Espresso Macchiato, Misto or Cappuccino. 

Stand tall to the barista and announce your choice,
“Caffé Americano” with an unwavering voice.
 

Your freedom is brewed in a cup, just as you crave.
Ooooh, adding a cookie — the last stand of the brave?
 

We’re left with coffee shop choices replacing our resolve.
We so value their importance, as our freedoms dissolve.
