Idol Me an Underdog

Mine That Bird 50-1
Steals the Kentucky Derby
Filly Rachel Alexandra
Dusts the boys at Preakness

Teen Shawn Johnson stuns
Dancing with the Stars
Soft rocker Kris Allen
Captures coveted American Idol title

Show me a quarter
I’ll sing you a tune
Idol me an Underdog

A drag of tail
A bark up the wrong tree
Come on, we’re next
On the great-things-do-happen train

Pack your bag of dreams
Get your passion in motion
Put legs on your words
Eyeore is a brighter shade of blue

Show me a quarter
I’ll sing you a tune
Idol me an Underdog

All aboard…

Battle of the Choke

Battle of the Choke

Deep-rooted resistance to death
Under the California sun
A four-inch artichoke in the pot
Now garden monster armed prick

Leaf circumference five-feet spread
Strawberries smothered
Water unquenchable
Drought ration in force

I fought the battle with a shovel over a choke
And the choke won.

Spawn of thorns
Kootnz and King take note
House of snails
I will not be derailed

Ax killer I tread through soil
Slice of hand a leaf falls silent
Texture of celery
Aroma of artichoke dip

I fought the battle with a shovel over a choke
And the choke won.

Braided roots cord in defiance
Deep the shovel blade cuts
Blister on blister splinters pierce skin
Twines of tentacles hold fast

Stabbed by thorn
Throb in thumb
One last whack
The choke was done

I fought the battle with a shovel over a choke
And the thumb won.
