I loved the way she looked.
She loved the way I looked.
That work for about 4 years,
but then the liking of looks
lost its appeal.

She grew cold and distant
I grew annoyed and tired
of her indifference.

And I could see where
things were going;
that is, she was planning
on leaving me secretly.

I said to her, “Look, if you
don’t want to be married
to me, you don’t have to be.
Nobody is forcing you to
stay here.”

A day later she was gone,
which turned out to be one
of the best days of my life.

And I no longer liked the
way she looked after
seeing the parts of her
beyond the superficial.

It was a good riddance
to her and a happy days
for me.

Joe joined the marines and got shipped
to the war in Nam.

He saw many horrors in those jungles,
even saw some of his marine friends die.

Jimmy Jones got shot in the face and
his brains blew out of the back
of his head.

Bart Henderson got his guts blown out
from some kind of missile direct hit.

Jake Brothers got one of his legs
shot off and kept screaming and
bled out so much that passed
out and died before the medic
could save his life.

The psychological impact of those sights
and others just as horrible, in Joe’s
words, “Fucked up my mind.”

He survived Nam somehow, not even a
scratch, but his mind was wounded from
all the carnage he saw.

When he made it home and was discharged,
he got a job at the local post office.

But he said he had trouble fitting back
into civilian life and felt like he was
going to go postal and shot up the
post office and everybody in it.

Luckily, he had the good sense to get
counseling at a local Veteran’s Center and
mellowed out enough to contain his PTSD
and function normally enough to fit into
civilian life.

Not long after thant, he met a good woman,
named Nancy, got married to a her,
and had a wonderful life.

I saw a guy in a documentary who had a lifesize doll as his wife
he treated her like a real wife and seemed quite happy
and I can sort of see some of the benefits he had
no arguments no cheating no divorce no toilet seat hassles

Bob Boyd

She was my first love and we were going to get married
teenagers living far apart in different states
I was sure her heart was true as well as her promises
until she met another guy and left me for him

Mary had a little lamb
she also had an annoying husband
the lamb was easier to get along with
so she got rid of the husband and kept the lamb

Bob Boyd

She died on her wedding day
from a fall down a stairs
now she’s a residual ghost
still walking down those stairs

Bob Boyd

When the lovers died together in a devastating war
they became ghosts instead of entering the Light
they preferred to remain on earth in love forever
rather than risk being separated in the Unknown

He felt like a small point of awareness
floating in an ocean of consciousness
and in a state of unimaginable jubilation

Swans are such beautiful birds
they glide elegantly upon water
but make no mistake about it
they will attack you in a minute

She claimed it was love at first sight
when she met her wealthy husband
people who knew her avarice ways
said it was his money at first sight

Buddha sat under the Bodhi tree
and became enlightened
like tree branches spreading
his fame spread all over the world

A storm was raging inside his mind
his emotions became like a tornado
the day he shot his ex wife to death
and shot himself to death as well

Bob Boyd

After she said she loved him and
was so happy to be his girlfriend,
one day she changes her mind and
says, “Can we just be friends?”
Of course, he’s heartbroken and pissed
and can’t believe she’s done a 180.
He says to her, “Once lovers never friends.”
Incredibly, three weeks later she changes
her mind and wants him back again.
He says to her, “Once lovers never friends.”

A white man in Britain gets stabbed 3 times
randomly by an Indian man, and he’s dying.
Perhaps because the police are overly woke,
they think the white British man attacked
the Indian man and don’t know he is dying.
They fuck around and cuff the white man
ignoring him when he says he’s been stabbed.
Moments later he bleeds to death in front of them.
This is one of many examples of how fucked up
Britain has become, a two-teir justice system
baised against white citizens.
My heart goes out to the maltreated citizens –
some arrested and in prison for tweets –
and the patriots their government calls Right Wing.

I hate the thought of dogs being eaten in some countries.
How can they think of such a loyal, intelligent animal as food?
I’m sure those who eat dogs see nothing wrong with it,
but to me it is soulless, heartless, and evil.

Because dogs are often referred to as man’s best friend,
to eat one of them to me seems close to cannabalism.
And I’m glad I live in a dog loving country where eating
dogs is against the law, disgusting, and reprehensible.

A guru in India to make a point to a man with LSD
asked him to give him a triple doze of the hallucinogenic
the potent dose of LSD had no effect on him
his enlightenment was far beyond any psychedelics

Bob Boyd

She walks into the dog pound
the dogs begin to growl
they feel the evil in her
and know she eats dog meat

Bob Boyd

She was born with a perfect body
she never thought it was temporary
until age began to slowly ravage it
now only eroding bones in a grave

The Justice of the Peace couldn’t believe it
at first he refused to marry them on principle
until the groom paid him much more money
and the robot male and robot female said I do

Bob Boyd

He returns to what he thought was an empty house
hears a sound inside a closet and gets frightened
grabs his gun and shoots his daughter accidentally
who popped out of the closet with a BOO as a joke
