I Doubt the Wise Have Had a Clue

Humility True Greatness Publisher: Multnomah Books
Humility True Greatness
Mr Smart Guy how do you do
You know it all we'll follow you
You're so slick we don't have a clue
You have a PhD woo hoo!

Hey Mizz MD we worship you
Your learned mind we can't outdo
We bow down to your point of view
A shrine to you is overdue

And Hollywood we love you too
You taught us how to run into
Divorce and violence hitherto
And entertained us while we do

Guesstimation: Solving the World's Problems on the Back of a Cocktail Napkin
Guesstimation:
Solving World Problems
Despite all that for us to chew
Our crime and debt and terror grew
I doubt the wise have had a clue
Their so-called wisdom we saw through

The little children had a clue
The ones God showed his secrets to
The weary, Jesus says to you
I'll give you rest to help you through

Mom & Dad Can Marry You

Public Vows: A History of Marriage and the Nation
History of Marriage
What is your marriage point of view
For some a change is overdue
For others matrimony's through
Straights pull the pin, While gays want in
It's looking like a crazy zoo

Let's have a history review
When marriage had its first debut
The whole thing was a private do
The Church jumped in, To stop all sin
The State was added to the brew

What Is Marriage For?: The Strange Social History of Our Most Intimate Institution
History of Marriage
What once was family true blue
The government has made askew
They want control and to subdue
The State will win, To our chagrin
And privacy will be taboo

So what do you think we should do
Is it too late to just undo
Five hundred years of ballyhoo
It's just for kin, To mix therein
So Church and State can kindly shoo

The Church must preach the Gospel true
But Mom and Dad can marry you
And without interference too
It's not a sin, For kith and kin
To bless you when you say I do

The Good the Bad Can't be Undone

Personality Types: Using the Enneagram for Self-Discovery
Personality Types
Some are solemn and some love fun
Some party goers others shun
Some eat and drink and some have none
Some are happy and some are glum

Some things are lost some things are won
A funeral for a loved one
A wedding party and some fun
Sometimes events can't be outrun

Type Talk: The 16 Personality Types That Determine How We Live, Love, and Work
16 Personality Types
We wish the good could be rerun
Or life had only just begun
We hope the bad's not overdone
And that there's good in the long run

The good the bad can't be undone
One thing in life is number one
The good news is God gave his Son
And in the end we will have won

A Life that's Lived with Honesty

Radical Honesty: How to Transform Your Life by Telling the Truth
Radical Honesty
If folks were true we'd need no key
Imagine a society
Where people valued honesty
With virtue and veracity

Imagine ads on the TV
That spoke the truth responsibly
And politicians all would be
Good people of integrity

And used car salesmen can you see
Them known to be quite trustworthy
And banks would have transparency
Fees with impartiality

Dare to Be True: Living in the Freedom of Complete Honesty
Dare to be True
The Freedom of Complete Honesty
No speeding fine for you and me
We all drive with fidelity
And gangs are gone the city's free
They all have honest work you see

Now this dream's not reality
It could be if we'd only see
A better life for you and me
A life that's lived with honesty

The Mindless Fashion Fad

Fashion & Merchandising Fads (Haworth Popular Culture)
Fads
Don't pick on me I'm just a Dad
You laugh at me and how I'm clad
I can't be bothered with a fad
Pushed by a stupid TV ad

I know that you just think it's bad
But I think fashion is just mad
If it is plain or if it's plaid
Who cares the whole thing's really sad

You say I'm out of touch a tad
But I'm my own man and I'm glad
That I'm not captive to a fad
And spending money like I'm mad

People Celebrate the'70s!: Stars, Fads and Fashions from an Amazing Decade

Don't listen to that TV ad
Comfort's the key in how you're clad
Escape the mindless fashion fad
And when you do you will be glad

At Easter I will Wear a Tie

120 Ways T-Shirt
Well bye and bye I might comply
But then I could just tell the guy
I don't see why the hue and cry
And I don't want to wear a tie

Conformity I just don't buy
So I say no to Captain Bligh
I think that I would rather die
Than choke and wear a silly tie

And ask that you would please not pry
By forcing me to wear a tie

You want to know a reason why
Men should not choke just to comply
Don't huff and puff and please don't sigh
At Easter I will wear a tie

One Blade of Grass

Faith & Science: What is the Evidence for/against the Existence of God?
For/Against
One blade of grass and we believe
There is a God we do perceive
A thousand trees some disbelieve
That there's a God they can't conceive

So proof is what we will receive
Was there an Adam and an Eve
We each must choose what we believe
The Genesis to which we cleave

It's not just logic we retrieve
'Cause our emotions do deceive
And things that we do preconceive
Help us decide what to believe

Logic For Dummies
Logic for Dummies
Our world view's something that we weave
Now matter what the facts do leave
Interpreting what we perceive
We do decide what to believe

Our hearts deceive, Let us now grieve
Dishonest we've, Chosen to weave
What we perceive, And what to leave
What to receive, What to believe

We Got Suckered by Big Debt

The Complete Idiot's Guide to Getting Out of Debt
Getting Out of Debt
One burden that will make us fret
A big delusion and a threat
Where slavery is alive yet
That overwhelming pile of debt

To start a venture is a bet
Our hopes and dreams they must be met
As business gross fails business net
And so we sadly land in debt

The 9 Steps to Financial Freedom: Practical and Spiritual Steps So You Can Stop Worrying
Financial Freedom
Impatiently we want to get
When our desires are just not met
A credit card and we're all set
And then we face the mounting debt

Instead of saving we forget
How awful is that monthly sweat
And when we're down we do regret
That we got suckered by big debt

Sanity is Overrated

Chickens May Not Cross the Road and Other Crazy (But True) Laws: and Other Crazy But True Laws
Crazy but True Laws
Justice is so long awaited
Sanity is overrated
All while madness is debated
Common sense not legislated

Widows ought to all be feted
Government should be berated
Righteousness is poorly rated
People are thus subjugated

Crazy Laws by Dick Hyman - Paperback - Copyright 1976
Crazy Laws
Selfish people are all hated
Oppressed people are not sated
With relief and food that's plated
Justice is for them belated

One more thing that must be stated
Sanity is overrated
All while madness is debated
Common sense not legislated

If we all Spoke Just Like we Spell

Professor Skeat & spelling reform: A criticism
Spelling Reform a Criticism
A myth I now wish to dispel
It doesn't matter how we spell
So color with a "u" do tell
Is simply a chromatic swell

Some orthographic personnel
Say let's reform the way we spell
But phonemes differ where we dwell
We don't pronounce the way you'd spell

Orthography
Orthography
Variety we can't expel
'Cause uniformity would smell
If we all spoke just like we spell
Whose dialect would then outsell

So may I say mademoiselle
If you insist you must impel
Your way and say that we misspell
Then most of us will just rebel

Without one thing we'd all be dead
And that thing is our daily bread
White bread's junk that must be said
And brown bread is still not purebred

Whole grain bread is best instead
And comes in an unending spread
Corn bread, fruit bread, banana bread
Pumpernickel, rye bread, wheat bread

There's potato bread, lentil bread
Tapioca bread, bulrush bread
Barley bread, Acorn bread, rice bread
Almond bread, buckwheat bread, pea bread

Chestnut bread, chickpea bread, teff bread

Poppy seed bread and millet bread

So don't forget your daily bread
Varieties are quite widespread
Give them a try just go ahead
Remember whole grain's the best bread

Share the Load

Sharing the Load : What to do when someone you love is depressed
Sharing the Load
Our backs we bowed
In humble mode
So our lives flowed
To share the load

It is our code
In our abode
And on the road
To share the load

Our marriage showed
The love we owed
As we both strode
To share the load

Standing on the Promises: A Handbook of Biblical Childrearing
Handbook of Biblical Childrearing
A full trunk load
Of kids were towed
But we still strode
To share the load

As the years slowed
And our backs bowed
We kept our code
To share the load

When Right is Wrong

The Spiritual, Moral, & Civil Decay of America
Moral Decay
Oh but there's nothing wrong with that
A tag line that we've got down pat
Whenever we are in a chat
And we want to avoid a spat

So let me ask what's right with that
When every wrong is just winked at
Like being drunk and getting fat
Or cheating like a sewer rat

The Moral Decay of Society
Moral Decay of Society
Morality has been chipped at
The scum bag is now a cool cat
When lousy people are at bat
And good folks are just told to scat

When evil folks are proud of that
And right is wrong and bad is phat
Then let me tell you where it's at
There's something really wrong with that
