Posted: 4/1/2006 7:55:38 PM | Hello all. Saturday has been good and busy here...and I see it's late and there's no poem in my mind. Does that stop me? Nuh uh.
Hello to the folks that stopped by and posted...thanks so much. I'll come by for a read tomorrow. There'll be a sermon then...what would be a Sunday without a reading from the Book of Goat? Not a good Sunday, that's fer sure.
Okay..what's in the brain tonight?
=========================
April Fool's Snow
Rain came today
Washed that snow away
Lumps of granular crap so gray
Sagging on a wet, wet day
But there's good news, by gosh
The truck does not need a wash
That rain wiped it all clean
Only a memory of winter seen
No sun came to set us all free
No light to burn or to see
The warmer climes were a treat
Oh, to feel raw the raw concrete
==========================
Ig. That weren't so good, were it? Well, better luck tomorrow.
See you then...g'night! | |

Posted: 4/2/2006 8:07:15 AM | Good Morning Everyone...
I hope everyone is doing well, I am doing better, been one crazy couple of weeks, losing my mom then my boyfriend scared me, thought he wanted to break up, but things all worked out so all is good...
Sometimes we move so fast in live always looking to far into the future making to many plans that it scares you, and when something fails in those plans you made you get discouraged, so thats what had happened with us.....He wasn't ready for a long term thing, moving in etc....but he made it sound like he wanted to leave me...lol...men and the way they come out with things..
So we worked it out, we are slowing things down, enjoying each other and each day we have together...no time line, just playing by ear.....
And surprising enough I think I needed that to.....I feel enlightened right now....so maybe it was a good thing, slow down and breathe....
Anyway, thank you all for your support, it was needed and so appreciated....love you all..
Just a few days ago
I thought I lost you
now I know it wasn’t so
just something you had to do
Your way of telling me
wasn’t good at all
heart started to ache
mind went for a free fall
I calmed down sought advice
friends helped me open my eyes
was able to see what I needed
to work out all the why’s
We got together and talked
you enlightened my heart
time was needed had to slow down
but you would never part
We have to take each day
one day at a time
enjoy our time together
and peace we would find
We have all the time in the world
so enjoy each day we have now
and down the road things will be
for the better somehow
In time we will move forward
to what ever is next to come
marriage moving in together
maybe even sharing a new home
But for now all we need
is cherished time together
and with our hearts joined as one
any storm we can weather....
Take care and enjoy sunday's sermon...

Posted: 4/2/2006 2:28:21 PM | Hello all. I have a busy Sunday here, so I'm going to post and run.
Sorry the sermon was late...for various reasons which I won't get into here.
Now, I have a computer that has cacked on me and I gotta geddit upanrunnin'. If it has a CPU or testicles, it'll give you trouble...right? Uh huh.
Here's the sermon. Make sure to tip the altar boys:
================================
Psalm 290 – The Book of Goat
Thy Lard considereth
After a few beers
That He is not displeased
With any beer
Apart from Red Stripe
Because it is crap
And likely anything from Brazil
Is likely to be Terrible
Because countries below the equator
Cannot brew beer
To save their asses
Sunday is a perfect day for Kilkenny
As Thy Lard looketh at a failing hard-drive
On His other computer
But
After a couple of Kilkennys
That hard-drive looketh like a little job
A quick change
A few sips
And the job will be done
After a format and a re-install
After more observation
Thy Lard thinketh
Computers are a little like women:
They both retain vast amounts of
(useful and useless)
Data
They occupy large chunks of time
By being, in turns
Difficult and Blissful
And both do behave better
When the right buttons
Are pushed
In the right order
Skilled hands hath Thy Lard
And an eloquent tongue
When He hath a few Kilkennys
So, Thy Lard must tend to
One
And then
The other
To restore harmony to His Kingdom
Let us proceed with haste
Amen
========================
Wish me luck. See youse later or (more likely) tomorrow. Kiss kiss.. | |

Posted: 4/3/2006 7:51:21 PM | --*entering Barn, kicking aside the stray Goat-Tracts of His unique Bible. Sitting in solitude astride a hay bale as sun's bars slant yellow through the rickety slats. Sun-motes play, lila-fashion, in the dust-suspended air*--
====================================================================
Hello, one and all. High-fives all around. And what happened to the cold ever-present keg of amber spirits? Ha .....
=====================================================================
IT'S MY WEEKEND!
It's my weekend, dammit! The gales of uproarious laughter
Supercede jigging nonsense amongst the clannish
Who whine and bespeak their anguish ever after.
Joy, even mild indulgence from their world banished.
I'll set sail through infernos of rollicking good cheer
With like-minded souls, apace and anon without ado.
Gritty music, laughter, bad jokes, top notch beer
Head the list for myself and insouciant crew.
Broken promises, bad luck and breath will have to wait
For others to encourage and empathize with.
They feel good about being kind souls who congregate
In quiet grandstanding, but I'd rather have pith
In terse conjecture in responding to the whining fray.
Life ebbs faster than blood spilling from a wide wound.
More and more it's getting harder to laugh and play.
Our bodies may be fit, but our souls are out of tune. | |

The goat is feeling ill and busy today. Bedtime is very soon. But first:
===================
Hugs over London
Buffets are not challenges
Fever runs high now
===================
Urf...I feels like poop now. Work tomorrow. Wish me well.
G'night! | |

Avoiding any chance of picking up stray bugs
Sorry Goat but a back scratch is out of the question tonight
.............

Hi Darling
Miss you
As long as the postmark isn't from jail
and you expect me to put up the bail
of course I'll reply with all that entails
Vinnie the Knife is out looking for you
his pregnant sister don't know what to do
but all in all I know you'll come through
brakes that you fixed didn't work a damn
the getaway car followed your plan
but couldn't brake so crashed into a van
Safecracker Eddie is out of his cast
swears your next breath will be your last
but don't worry dear, I know it'll pass
Feds tapped the phone, bugs in the room
don't ring me there or you will be doomed
but it's ok, not all drear and gloom
new cables you ran for growing your dope
set the house on fire but don't give up hope
should be ok still, just slightly smoked
propeller that you rebuilt for the boys
came off on a coke run, their not overjoyed
my god their well armed, should see their toys
so all in all not much has changed
most of the neighbours think your deranged
I'll see you again, one of these days
...
..
.
I wrote it for another thread
But I think it will enjoy living here

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Shop
I built a shop last year
out of wood
Not out of words
Because they're misunderstood
I built a shop last year
With tools in cold
Not with words
For they wouldn't hold
So I built a shop last year
To have my own place
Not to store words
But to build faith
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
good cheer to you all | |

Posted: 4/4/2006 8:23:27 PM | Hello all. Hello to Longte and Om...it's good to see that you guys are still about and still writing some quality stuff. Thank you so much for coming to the barn today.
And I must apologize for my lack of involvement here lately. Work has been busy and I working through some kind of weird flu-like thing. Both leave me feeling uninspired and poorly-rested. Nothing personal to any of my fine barn-dweller fellers. The long weekend can't come too soon, let me tells ya.
Okay...I actually wrote something today. Getting back on that bale -- slowly:
========================
It’s an Excuse…Really
Spring has sprung, the poems are dry
After almost two years, I have to sit and wonder why
Could this be a sign of the seasonal blahs
That give my once many words such pause?
Reading poetry doesn’t work, nor does coffee
Neither does scotch-soaked toffee
That last one was a cure my grandmother had
To wind down the grandchildren who were bad
Patience, it is decided, will rebirth goaty rhyme
With beer and coffee and, my old companion, time
Together we will refill the well that is nearly spent
Then I can get back to being pleasantly bent
===================================
Me tired of being straight corporate-type! Me want to be my bent self again!
Me must have what me wants, or Goat will SMASH!!
Or at least get smashed...either way, I'm getting it.
G'night ya'll! I shall return tomorrow! | |

Posted: 4/5/2006 7:33:58 PM | Why thank you, Echoez. I do feel better today. Breathing is still under the weather, though. Poor little critter...
As for me...a poem? Why, yes!
============================
A Moment of Realization
It is true
As was heard on CBC
A job is exactly where
Life and death meet
And no one survives intact
============================
I just noticed Om is deleted...what the heck is that about? Om, buddy -- what's going on?
To the showers for me...g'night, eh? | |

Posted: 4/5/2006 8:36:17 PM | Hey Goat...glad to hear you are feeling better and able to give Breathing a tummy rub......Breathing I hope the vapours will soothe the chest or at least give you a good cough-up of the phlegmy stuff.....erk....
Hugzzzzzzzzzz to ye both...C xo
Doldrums...of the Poetic kind
Erode one's creative mind
Slamming my sensitive side
Into the slow slide
Of apathy
Oh muse...
Thou have deserted me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Was this how Wordsworth or Keats
Felt?
OMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
Has gone
For how long?
What did he do wrong????? | |

Spring came for Breathing and the Goat
on these pages they had to gloat
about the magic of spring season
unknowing that this was the reason
for blocked up sinus, snotty noses
admidst the fertile growth of roses
thought because twas quite nice
through the fields they would glide
but they should have stayed inside
for pollen blooms were flying by
now both of then aren't feeling well
think their heads have truly swelled
congestion has come in to strike
Goat will not be on his bike
Goat is snuffling on his bed
even bourbon won't clear his head
Breathing has abandonded her bale
there we end this sorry tale
Get Well Soon
But I warned you about Spring

Posted: 4/6/2006 5:47:04 PM | speaking of lunch
what will it be
should I have coffee
or maybe tea
I'm in the barn
So there's plenty of meat
Maybe I'll relax
And just put up my feet | |

| Big Thinkers
Posted: 4/6/2006 6:19:01 PM | Just popped in to see what people were thinking these days
There are some great thinkers here
Thinkers with a way with words, Big Thinkers
Has anyone ever been asked if it was poetry or prose?
You efforts I mean?
A poem
A written feeling or emotion
so unlike the restrictive prose
Need I be meaningful ?
Must I communicate directly ?
Is it not much more entertaining
or thought provoking
to dance askance
and otherwise avoid
the current issue on sale?
I think
Therefore I am
Right
Another correct connection
I have so expertly
correctly connected
Is I am not a scholiast
I shan't scribe a King James
Nor attempt Dryden in vain
Perhaps not even a poet
Just a simple teller of tales
more often than not
in rhyme
Hence
A poem
a simple poem
as soft as stone
Should blood turn to words
I could transfuse the world
Or maybe just one girl
with a poem
so unadorned
resembling a sentimental wish list
a way to express the norm
In a pleasantly distracting form
Yet I feel such reluctance
to maintain the substance
That inhabits a prose
But not a poem
Fore if not for sale
just a peculiar tale
Why would everyone have the licence
To write
A poem
Dissection performed

Posted: 4/6/2006 6:54:34 PM | Hello all. Good to see youse all hyar tonight.
Ah, there you are Om...I was worried about you when you disappeared like that without warning. A break is fine but you have to clear it with us first, eh? Make sure to come back and tell us what you've been into...we'll be right here...somewheres...
Hello Echoez...nice ditty about one of my favourite subjects. Lunch, that is. I thanks you for it.
Welcome to Ezygoin...love the write and I'm guessing the question you started with was rhetorical because I have no answer. Then again, many questions that are brought to me are likely rhetorical because they have no answers. A life filled with Zen koans...that's me. But, welcome to you...enjoy your stay here.
As for me...it started with a lost word:
==============================
What The Heck Was That Word Again?
I lost a noun today
And it was a beauty
So descriptive
So insightful
So deeply well-layered
That it would make a lexicographer weep
With the pure joy of seeing
That word and know
That someone cared enough to use it
But
I’ll be darned if I can remember what it was
What the situation that prompted it
And the pure reason for it being
One day that combination
Of sight, sound, smell
And circumstance
Will come again
And that lost noun
Will stride across the open plain
Of my left hemisphere
Maybe it will leave tracks next time?
================================
Okay...the evening draws to a close and the goat smells of work and grime. Time to take Breathing and myself to the showers for a good scrubbin'.
Oh, Breathing is feeling better and so am I. Thanks for the well-wishes, eh?
G'night! | |

A dental crown

Exercising a sadistic bent
In the name of "anti Polident"

Lately I've had a problem clearing my head
I went for a run, but I felt like lead
I tried to do pushups but they only hurt
What do call it when something tears under your shirt
Carrots and cauliflower, chewing cardboard
Seeds by the pound leave me so bored
This is only a plateau I hope I'm on
I just can't give in or quit when I yawn
I went to K-Mart and tried on some T's
They showed off my fat, I wasn't too pleased
I've done pretty good, lost 30 pounds
You have 40 to go, my inner voice hounds
I'm better from reading the words you wrote
A needed diversion from the problem of bloat
But I can't think now how to end this muse
Except to say, Thanks! Thanks for lifting my blues | |

Hello Pickles - dear...you're absolutely smashing this -- well, last -- evening. I'm sure you're still as elegant as always this evening too.
Welcome to Truckerboi -- love the poem and I too am battling the bulge as I prepare to bike off the winter fat I've accumulated. Ergh...you summed up all I've been feeling these last few weeks. Excellent job, pardner!
Okay...I just have a little ditty because my brain is short-circuited and I'm giddy for the coming weekend..it's been a long time in coming. Soooooo.....
===============================
Let it Begin
Fi-diddle-de-dee
A slackers life for me
A good sleep in
A bottle of gin
And Dr. Phil on TV
Fi-diddle-de dee
A good rest is there for me
Don’t get carried away
It’s only for two days
Then back to work, y’see
===============================
Yup, it sucks. Yup, it stays. Yup, I don't care.
Yup, I'll see you tomorrow. Yup, g'night! | |

Posted: 4/8/2006 7:35:04 AM | HI again...lol...
Jim and I are celebrating one year together, we have had our ups and downs but just recently for the most part it has been awesome....we have come to terms with alot and peace we have found so life is moving ahead nicely one day at a time....
My little tribute to the man I love had to share it here...
One Year Together...
Time has flown by so quickly
seems like just yesterday
you tried everything you could
to get my attention that day
Took us awhile to finally talk
but I think it was worth the wait
we talked on the computer
everyday for hours straight
I knew I found someone special
felt it in deep in my heart
knew that I had to meet you fast
to see if this was to be a new start
We met and it was instant
you must of felt it to
when you kissed me in the cab
wasn’t something I thought you would do
We spent all our time together
getting to know more each day
and in time we both knew
we wanted to stay this way
Time has moved on fast
we have had our ups and downs
but today we celebrate a year
peace we have found
We now look at each day
as something exciting and new
baby I couldn’t imagine my life
without holding and loving you
Each day we have together
is a gift that’s why it’s the present
baby I love you more and more
to me your heaven sent
So let’s strive for another year
but take it one day at a time
and we will always feel this way
so happy in love with peace of mind.....

Posted: 4/8/2006 8:29:50 AM | Hello all. A little post and run for now...time is getting scarce.
Hello to Miz..good to see you back here, m'dear. Hello to Charming as well.
I already said good morning to Breathing. She's doing better today...so far.
A poem? Yup:
=============================
A Few Quiet Moments Farted Asunder
I had a fart like a question mark
And it was a curious thing
It put forth a query I couldn’t answer
It was muffled by boxers
I leaned in close to my arsehole
And asked to repeat itself
But it merely breathed
An exhausted sigh
Which smelled of shallots and beer
So, nude I sit
With arse pointed to the ceiling
Waiting for that next question
Clear as a church bell
Perhaps then
I will have an answer
Or a remedy
=======================
Otay..I must attend to de bidness of de day. See youse later, eh? | |

Not like any other
It must be Goat's boxers
Releasing roaring thunder
