a peaceful easy feeling

Poems © by Julian Thomas Bushelli 
I
The sun is in the sky
Shining on the lake
Why should there be a care in the world?
There are two bridges on the lake
one white the other brown, the twins they are called 
Why should there be a care in the world?
II
Dark as it is the sun is bright shining on the lake
Before it went down last night it was the same
Why is there war?
The fish are biting as they eat before we eat
More over the bridge where food will come
Why is there war? 
III
We have to leave soon
I'm writing a short poem
As I depart from here I say,
"Why do we have to leave?"
As I go fishing I say 
"Why do we have to leave?"
Wherever I go I'll say,
"Why do we have to leave?"

Well there's hangin' out there and then there was HANGIN' out there...a short cultural history of NYC NIMBYism

at 10+ acres quite a nice city park it is too, 
filled with commerce, merriment and life most of the time
ala U. Sinclair, B. Dylan,  A. Ginsberg and  the gallows

P-elect and P-derelict meet, as told to L M Boyd

           Oval office 11 am today
P-derelict Bush: Stay the course. Stay the course. Stay the effing course.
P-elect Obama:  Course? We got no course. We don't have to stay no stinkin' course.
           
            enter manservant (hands Bush a note)
P-d Bush: Oh. Yes. Let us away to the situation room.
            exeunt omnes

its over now...BAU

Joe the plumber can go back to work
 and practice business as usual just 
like his recently found but 
somehow
 now hard to get a hold of
new best friends.

tomorow's forecast

Let's take a break from old white men now, shall we?

Low bridge, everybody down...

Haven't thought about the Erie canal much
 since the last time Mrs. Moran led us in a dirge like rendition 
of the song by the same name.
And yet here it still is.
