Like a school kid cutting, gluing and pasting in class
Like a lawn mower, mowing some grass
Like a barnacle sticking to a pier, like a rabbit with a floppy ear
Like fish swimming in a school
Like two swimmers neck ‘n’ neck in a pool

Like love birds cooing in a tree, like a flower being pollinated by a bee
Like a dog flicking at a flea, like busy squirrels storing acorns in a tree
Like sardines packed tightly in a can,
Like people in a sweaty elevator without a fan.

Like bread toasting in a toaster, like lovers on a roller coaster
Like two peas in a pod, like a snail in a shell
Like a clanger in a bell, like a water bucket down a well
Like I love you and I just think you’re swell!

He can raise the downtrodden up off the ground,
Console the lonely when they are down or when no one calls or comes around.
When things look darkest before the storm, he sends in our
Guardian angels with rays of sunshine, to help make
Our lives bright and warm.

So, never give up and never give in,…
For those of us with unshakable faith, he promises to deliver us from sin.

Love,live and worship his word with all your might and you
Can rest assure, he will always keep you in his loving and protective sight.”

For I never seem to know when to walk away
I try so hard to figure out this mystery in my life,…
and ways to cease my endless strife.
Let me count the ways,…. while I pine away
My desperate lonely days, left to recount the error of my ways.

For I never seem to know when to walk away
I search mind and soul for answers to my questions,…
my torn broken heart helps to provide me with some great suggestions.
For I never seem to know when to walk away

Now I have found the answer in my one and only true love,…
And I’m here to shout say,…
I now have no need to ever walk away,…
For I’m finally here to stay.

A historic landmark to it’s very core.
She passed her torch from bedloe’s to the renamed liberty island,…
…never frowned,…
but, kept on smiling.

She raised her torch of eternal light and freedom upward
toward the heavenly clouds,…
evoking cries and tears of emotion from the visiting crowds.

So, thanks to the great genius of bartholdi and eiffel our symbol
of freedom still stands by the bay,…
to signal to all passing through, that liberty, justice and the
pursuit of happiness and opportunity in america is here to stay,…
in the good ole u.s.a.

There are those whom believe that, SEX is just for procreation,
While there are others for whom it is, Their favourite recreation,
There are people who only have,
SEX over the phone,
And others who are happy,
To do it on their own,
There are some who really get off,
On lingerie and leather,
And those who simply prefer,
To masturbate together.

Do you mean it?
You’re such a tease.
You have a boyfriend
but I don’t like threes.

The other men at my work,
like you too, you’re such a perk,
jerking off their trouser snakes,
at your photo, during breaks.

I liked her face, her pointed chin,
the way she touched her hair,
I loved her smile and glinting eyes,
and all beyond in there

I longed to meet her desperately,
but only could I dream,
of seeing her in the flesh
and not just on the screen

I booked my flight
and flew for hours,
I was feeling so elated
but finally, when we met
her face looked devastated

Why was this? I could not think.
Of course, I should have told her
I’m really only 4 feet tall,
and my head’s a lot more balder.

It always seemed too good for real,
the honeymoon was over,
I reluctantly went home again,
and wept as I flew over

and soon enough , I did groan,
the relationship had ended
she broke my heart
the wretched bitch,
and still it hasn’t mended

there is a happy ending though,
for after I lost Kiki,
I fell in love with Annabel
who doesn’t find me geeky

Anna is a lovely sight,
she makes me warm inside
I have to blow her up, you see
cause she’s my latex bride

The Net causes frustration,
because I can’t get sex for free,
I search and search for hours,
but I need a credit card to see.

I bought myself a web cam,
so I can chat and play,
but I don’t see any ladies,
so I wish that I was gay.

Is there anyone out there,
who is as lonely as me?
staring at my screen,
I wish that I could see

Hang on – who is this?
It is a female figure,
she looks like my Grandma,
but my Grandma is slimmer.

She says her name is Helga,
so I ask about the weather,
but she thinks I’m a bore,
because I’m not into leather.

I start to look for more,
by now, I know the score,
but Sarah B won’t answer
and Lisa X is busy.

But wait – I must be dreaming,
I see a blonde lady,
I smile at her picture
and she smiles back at me.

She speaks, but I can’t hear,
She hears but now can’t see,
I think my PC’s broken,
Why does this happen to me?

She is looking puzzled
and I can’t seem to fix it
but I can’t wait to start,
I guess I’ll have to risk it.

I think I am in love,
I hope she feels the same,
Oh, damn my PC’s crashed !
But boy, how I just came !
