IVE GOT THT SINKING FEELING
Until we by chance we may meet again
Tell me the time and place and I am on the next train
They canceled all surgeries on my brain
But still I was locked up in cold and hard chains
My mind playing the same old refrain
It seems a lobotomy wont get you access to the handicapped lane
Keep your hands to yourself or you could get slapped
Hit the road Jack
Your nothing but a heart attack
Painting my blue sky shades of black
Its like a run-away train
I have a nickel so shiny bright and new
I will give you mine so you can make it two
You are so, kind and mighty fine making me shine, too
Took to many pills and now I’m lost in Dr Seuss Zoo
Having a physiologic point of view
Crowing like a rooster cock a doodle do
Ruining in circles like scooby dooby do
In the long run, Id rather be me than you
Hoping our hearts will beat like one instead of two
To make a wish just for you
I will cash in the lot to give you some more
Will you take me to the store
I have money in my drawer
But it’s not as much as I had before
lets go to the jewelry store
Its you I truly adore
Sears and Penny’s are having a price war
Everyone seems bent upon settling the score
In an uproar
Youve stripped me down to the core
Got my head reeling
Positive and healing
Nothing concealing
But nothing revealing
My wounded heart needs so much healing

I had a nice PNP…but I lost it, and I’m to lazy to make another one, so…here’s my Sat. Share in words only 🙂
Devils Train
By Jackie
A Cheryl’s Pals Collab
“Haunting the low life, speakeasy joints”
on a cool October night
I walked into an age-old bar
where whiskey flows, and angry men fight.
I took a seat, in the back of the room
away from the rest of the crowd
“just to give me a little time to think”
ease my mind and disrobe it’s black shroud.
A lady of the evening, stops
to offer a…you are doomed
“I hear the sound of a distant train”
that I know must have been exhumed
Whispered words from the mouths of the dead
“form an icing in my blood”
“now I hear a knocking”
as my adrenaline rises up to a flood.
In through the front door, flying
bat’s with a hideous plume
“I’ve got that sinking feeling”
the Devils Train brings my destiny to it’s doom.

I broke up the lines I used guys yet I used these thangs It came out kinda cool well.. I think so..
any way… I read it and my cat Puppy did so here we go..
My Sink getters were Mikey Jobby and Michelle andAngel Love and LilC and Clarice and Diane sis and Sheila A and thats it!
there is nothing I can do
as I watch him fall apart
see him go down that same damn road
as I watch his broken heart
the tears he would bleed
upon my shoulder sleeve
the ones I cried that day
the day I labor lay
OH God
just takem
Just takem all away
take my babies tears away
right down the drain and sink
like it never meant and mean
oh please
just like on my shoulder sleeve
whip it please
this a prayer and song I pray today
down a sink a sink I pray
and on my knees I say….
take my babies ….tears down …the sink… I pray

TO THE TOP
BY BARBARA
A CHERYL’S PALS COLLAB
I’m afraid I’ve got
that sinking feeling again,
the one I’ve had since
I can’t even begin
to remember when.
And I’m not sure
I’ll be able to stop,
as lost in the land
of the fearless and bold,
I try to find my lost courage
while feeling quite old
and rather far away.
I’m feeling so very jaded
and my emotions are spent;
my heart’s in a tangle
and it’s not meant
to be bent.
I’m sinking to the bottom
and falling so fast,
just praying my ears
don’t pop on the way,
adding injury to insult,
for certain, I’d say.
But enough of this —
enough, I say,
of falling like this
and acting this way;
I’m gonna change my tune
and find a better attitude.
I’m turning around
and going the other way;
holding my breath
and rising to the top
where I look forward
to skipping through
fields of poppies once more
and singing sweet melodies
in the land of California gold.
And I know when I get there,
I’ll feel so much better,
as I wake up in the morning
to survive another day.
