You ring me late at night
You know it's just not right
You're nothing but a scam
Recorded message spam

Goodbye, I'm hanging up
I know you won't let up
But you're just wasting time
You won't get one thin dime

Pa-keet! Pa-keet!

Guinea fowl, are the strangest bird
They really can act quite absurd
Mrs. Pa-keet! Pa-keet! she cries
And when I come home in she flies

She's crazy how she lays her eggs
Not well-protected which just begs
A predator to eat them all
A dozen or more, and so small

Chi! Chi! Chi! Mr. Guinea cries
Runs to me looking for a prize
So, What, you ask, Are guinea's for?
They eat up ticks and bugs galore

Covered in Ice

The grass is fruzz, covered in ice
Looks like a field of shiny glass
A meadow filled with jewel grass
Should I go out? What's your advice?

The sun is out and makes it shine
I'll stay inside and watch the view
And have a bite of Irish stew
And thank God for His grand design

Chickens, Chickens

Chickens, chickens all around
With their eager squawking sound
Looking for a bite to eat
Waddling with their happy feet

A slice of bread in my hand
Jumping, happy little band
Need some water cheerful crew?
Yes, they squawk, Indeed we do

Sitting, watching chickens peck
They're so much fun and low tech
What about some mixed seed too?
Oh yes, they squawk, We love you

A Day to Rest

A day to rest both body and soul
Some call it Sabbath and that's okay
A day to relax and take a stroll
The principle is just take a day

A day for church and worshiping God
Reading the Bible and private prayer
Your toes in the grass with feet unshod
A nice cool drink, a shady lawn chair

Time for our loved ones and dear friends too
And maybe a stranger there as well
Watch the garden; how quickly it grew
Nothing to push, demand or compel

Joining Heaven's Roll Call

The burnt offerings God told Israel to make
Private freewill offerings were they
Any unblemished male of the herd they should take
Like Jesus on the cross that awful Friday

The grain offering was of the finest flour
Like any offering to God is our best
Salt of the covenant reminds us that our
Hope is in Jesus; in the cross we are blessed

The peace offering as a fellowship feast
Reminds us of Jesus the bread and the wine
He sacrificed himself; He is our High Priest
The last offering; the sacrifice divine

The sin and the guilt offerings are to teach
That Jesus died for known and unknown sins too
Forgiveness of sins is what Jesus did preach
He died for the Gentile as well as the Jew

God took no real pleasure in the sacrifice
And He offered up Jesus once and for all
Who willingly died for our sins paid the price
So we offer ourselves, join heaven's roll call

The Telephone Call

Are you spam, or a scam, or a friend in a jam?
What is this telephone call for?
If you're a flimflam or a sham you can just scram!
Deception and fraud from offshore!

I'll block your number you dirty scum of the earth!
You won't call back here anymore!
What's that you say? Why are you laughing with such mirth?
Oh! Hi friend! How are things next door?

Abraham, Abraham

Abraham, Abraham, why did you lie
To Pharaoh and then to Abimelech
Despite this fault you weren't such a bad guy
When God said leave town, your feet hit the deck

Look count the stars in the sky Abraham
So will your children be, if you can count
To your descendants I will give this land
Abraham believed and God took account

Abraham, Abraham, why did you cheat
Keturah's children and send them away
Inheritance should be fair, not mistreat
You gave all to Isaac; that was foul play

Abraham was faulty like you and me
But by faith obeyed when God said to go
And when he was tested, you will agree
He obeyed God like no man that you know

Abraham, Abraham, father of ours
You were just like us, so weak in the end
But you believed God and counted the stars
And you were a man that God called His friend

A Snark

I love you but your snarking drives me nuts
First silence then comes that heavy breathing
Then there's a loud vibration from your guts
A snark explodes and there's no more sleeping

Well there's a snore and then there is a snark
A snore's just a mild buzzing sound I'll note
A snark's a loud explosion in the dark
First silence, then a blast comes from your throat

What's that sound! Did the world come to an end
Is that a lion or a thunder clap
I'm getting PTSD I'll contend
I lie there waiting for the next attack

The tension builds; your breathing escalates
I'm waiting for the next time that you snark
The heavy breathing only indicates
That a snark, will soon thunder in the dark

Creation

Is Genesis 1 just a myth?
Is all we see a grand design?
Did Adam eat a Granny Smith?
Is all of this a plan Divine?
