Luvcow: One day nearer spring

*shuffles nervously onto the stage, ruffles through little notebook*

"hello..."

*coughs*

"ok... this is one i wrote this morning at the coffee shop..."

*counts backwards on fingers from 3 to 1*

"Yo, I'll tell you what I want, what I really really want.
So, tell me what you want, what you really really want.
I'll tell you what I want, what I really really want.
So, tell me what you want, what you really really want.
I wanna�, I wanna�, I wanna�, I wanna�, I wanna really, really, really wanna zigazig, ah."

*bows nervously, shuffles off the stage*

By popular demand: IT *BZZT* WASP ME--
IT WASP ME ALL *BZZT* ALONG!

"Darkness all around me.
Onnly a lonesome cucumber in the refrigerator.
trying to drown my sorrows with milk.
i think i might be depressed.
so let's dance!"

blaise rascal: "Duke, Duke, Duke, Duke of Pearl...."

"I wonder if flowers will grow on my grave.

I wonder if my grave will be one of the ones at the front of the cemetery that everyone sees. Would I want that?

Or maybe I won't die. Maybe they'll invent immortality first.

Nah, I'll probably die.

Maybe my grave will be like the graves in Fallout: New Vegas, and brave future cowboys will fight through waves of mutant insects to get a chance to dig up my burial plot.

I hope flowers grow on my grave."

Pot Smoke Phoenix: Smoke 'em if you gottem!

*rolls a joint, passes it out to the audience*

Smoke. It gets in my eyes...
And makes me cry.
It's just the way it looks.

*a light tempo builds on the cymbal and drums in the dark background behind me*

I'm not crying,
It's just my eyes
Because I'm high.

*rimshot to accentuate the word "high" with an upbeat brass accompaniment*

Red!
Bloodshot and teary
I look sad and bleary

But NO! I am NOT!
Not sad, am I...
I'm just high!

*trumpet solo and finish*

Thank you, and good night!

*explodes into a cloud of glitter and pot smoke and vanishes*

artoke

I
cannot see
past the blinding light
that shines on me

and I
don't know how
to say the words
to please this crowd

so I
have to ask
if anyone here
has seen my flask

because I
came for karaoke
not for expensive drinks
or chill poetry

seriously guys, has anyone seen that flask? I swear it was half full the last time I had it.
Oh, wait, is this legit poetry night? aww, had something for this. let me see if I can remember.

here I go

Knock knock
*silence*
I SAID knock knock
*unenthusiastic who's there*
uh, oh man how did this go again
I swear I had something here
Better luck next time I guess
