I was born in seventy-one
I was raised a carpenter’s son
I went to school in a three-bar town
I grew up as the glaciers came down
Floating on the lake
Drifting away
Watching the day
Burst into blossom
In Wisconsin
I moved out at seventeen
Drinking beer with the Homecoming queen
Got a job at the paper mill
A row of bottles on my windowsill
Shoveling the snow
The roads all closed
My fingers froze
And felt like cotton
In Wisconsin
I went to Madison
For I don’t know what
I killed a six-point buck
With my very first shot
My mama died in ninety-one
I became the grieving son
I grew up as the glaciers came down
I left the church then I left town
Flowers on her grave
Nothing to say
Watching the day
Break into blossom
I gave my goodbyes
Frost in my eyes
Searching the sky
For the lost son
of Wisconsin

Science Fictional World

A science fictional world
Is so much better than reality
You got holographic telephones and 3-D TV
And phasers for fighting the bad guys (Like cyborgs!)
In a science fictional world
You gotta have suspension of disbelief
To hitchhike through the universe in outer space
Close your eyes, we’ll give you a tour (Listen!)
I’d rather live, yes, I’d rather live
In a science fictional world (and hang with robots)
A science fictional world
Han Solo had a Wookie named Chewbacca
The first great chiefton on the planet Kashyyyk
He carried a bowcaster and bandolier
His hairdo was totally punk rock! (Believe it!)
James T. Kirk had a Vulcan named Spock
Put you fast asleep with a pinch of the neck
With arched and upswept eyebrows and ears
If he were here, he’d tell you to “Live long” (And prosper!)
I’d rather live, yes, I’d rather live
In a science fictional world (and hang with Wookies)
A science fictional world
The Cylons are cybernetic evil robots
The Daleks are seeking to conquer the universe
Hal-9000 is a wicked red eye
Darth Vader’s just a big softie inside (I’m your father!)
Buck Rogers fought in World War I
Flash Gordon was a polo player from Yale
Dr. Who has a time tra-ve-ling telephone booth
Sam Beckett was a quantum leaper (Oh boy!)
I’d rather live, yes, I’d rather live
In a science fictional world (defeating Cylons)
A science fictional world
Humanoids, androids, and aliens
Mind control and telepathy
Post-apocalyptic dystopia
Time travel and wormholes (They’re cool!)
Lightspeed, warp speed, and ludicrous speed
The Falcon is the fastest hunk of junk in the galaxy
Starship Enterprise can warp time and space
The Death Star can blow up a planet (Look out!)
I’d rather live, yes, I’d rather live
In a science fictional world (fly through a wormhole)
A science fictional world
Arthur C. Clarke and Robert A. Heinlein
Walter M. Miller and John W. Campbell
Samuel R. Delany and Philip K. Dick
What’s with the middle initials? (Like why!?)
Oh, science fictional world
You’re so much better than reality
You’re the coolest and the neatest and the swellest place
Hey, beam me up, Scottie (Aye, Captain!)
I’d rather live, yes, I’d rather live
In a science fictional world (and hang with Wookies)
A science fictional world

Gee darlin’
Gee my dear
Hot doggie
Darlin’ where’s my beer
Hey there mama
Hey there doll
I’ve got a Blu Ray player
So give me a call
Whoa sweetheart
Whoa babe
You’re my White House
And I’m your Honest Abe
My, my honey
My, my queen
You’re the lead story
In my heart’s TV news magazine

Mitt Romney
Mitt Romney was Republican
He fought for his fellow man
Governor out of Boston Mass.
Champion of the middle class and
He ran on a platform
Of sensible healthcare reform
He had a plan—to expand—the economy
Make saints out of slobs
12 million jobs
Mitt Romney
He saw we needed more battleships
Better Asian relationships
And we should cut the corporate tax
To get America back on track and
People misunderstood what he meant
About the 47%
In debates he made his opponents looks like zombies
He was smart
And full of heart
Mitt Romney
Da da da da da...
As I was walking
That ribbon of highway
I saw Mitt Ro-o-omney

William Henry Harrison
Gave a speech outside
And William Henry Harrison
Couldn’t stop talking
If he tried—he said
I’ll disown ya
If there are no begonias
From California but then
He got pneumonia
And thirty days after he took office
William Henry Harrison died

Lake Michigan #1

I would swim across Lake Michigan for you
Look me up in your catalogue of thieves
I’ve already stolen your words
And your heart
Use my telescope to gave next door
Their kitchen never wanted kids
But I can hear them calling for you
At night—when we’re asleep
Draw me a dream in purple crayon
You made your move—you can’t take it back
And all the rules are unwritten
Anyway—about love
I would swim across Lake Michigan for you
