When Snow Fell On Waikiki
Sunshine turned to cold sleet
Palm trees froze in place
Tourists walked down white streets
to shop for hats and boots
Beach boys left the beaches;
Surfboards were turned to sleds.
Rather than surfing waves
they slid down Diamond Head.
No more graceful hula;
grass skirts became passé.
Dressed in lederhosen,
slap-polka was the rage.
Don Ho found a new song
to thrill his many fans
‘Tiny toddies,’ every-
one, makes us all feel warm.

If a light is lit in the forest and there is no one to see,
why light it in the first place?
And if there is no one present in the first place,
who would light the flame?
Hmm?

Old Beale Street is coming down
Sweeties' Snack Bar boarded up now
And Egles the Tailor and the Shine Boy's gone
Faded out with ragtime blues
Handy's cast in bronze
And he's standing in a little park
With a trumpet in his hand
Like he's listening back to the good old bands
And the click of high heeled shoes
Old Furry sings the blues
Propped up in his bed
With his dentures and his leg removed
And Ginny's there
For her kindness and Furry's beer
She's the old man's angel overseer
Pawn shops glitter like gold tooth caps
In the grey decay
They chew the last few dollars off
Old Beale Street's carcass
Carrion and mercy
Blue and silver sparkling drums
Cheap guitars eye shades and guns
Aimed at the hot blood of being no one
Down and out in Memphis Tennessee
Old Furry sings the blues
You bring him smoke and drink and he'll play for you
lt's mostly muttering now and sideshow spiel
But there was one song he played
I could really feel
There's a double bill murder at the New Daisy
The old girl's silent across the street
She's silent waiting for the wrecker's beat
Silent staring at her stolen name
Diamond boys and satin dolls
Bourbon laughter ghosts history falls
To parking lots and shopping malls
As they tear down old Beale Street
Old Furry sings the blues
He points a bony finger at you and says
"I don't like you"
Everybody laughs as if it's the old man's standard joke
But it's true
We're only welcome for our drink and smoke
W. C. Handy I'm rich and I'm fey
And I'm not familiar with what you played
But I get such strong impressions of your hey day
Looking up and down old Beale Street
Ghosts of the darktown society
Come right out of the bricks at me
Like it's a Saturday night
They're in their finery
Dancing it up and making deals
Furry sings the blues
Why should I expect that old guy to give it to me true
Fallen to hard luck
And time and other thieves
While our limo is shining on his shanty street
Old Furry sings the blues
~~~~
ok, so furry's got the blues
but thistle's got the mange

For those Whores who Babble On
What secrets lie in the hearts of men
These lodges and these roadside inns
Would tell their tales
From start to end
Of indiscrete and mortal sins
If lost hotels and motel walls
Could tell their tales and make the calls
Which men would lead
And which would fall
Would it make a difference after all?
What rich men do behind closed doors
With illicit drugs and Russian whores
As revelations often do
Could turn away the pious few
Or might endear them even more
To prostitutes of moral rot
They'll write their checks and cast their lot
With the hopes and dreams
They think they've bought
When after all it's all for naught

Not Terrapin Station. Not Terrapin Stationary.
Why take the turtle when you can ride a train? The interesting consideration is who would have won had the hare jumped on the turtle's back?
Not Bob Dylan's dog.

Round up the usual FBI agents (except Comey).
Korea has been threatening to send missles in Guam's direction for years. Why the fuss today? Because Trump is guilty and is going down.
Thanks to Eric Sanders for his collection, but I don't hink he took this one in Merced.
Nor these cauchemar psychomoteur? Dylan is notoriously reputed to have said
"pick up the phone dummy".
Jack picked it up and poopularized.
.
And get your kicks on Route 66, not Hwy61
Found this abandoned there
Not Route 66, did DMT set up a tripod on the hood here?

BACK TO THE FRONT PAGE, IS ALL IM SAYIN'
Hey man, you so cool I'm feel in' air conditioned ( in reference to your scouring of Buk-Out-see- & the truth about the place in the tome of poetry's history that his writings occupied, now much reduced
I prefer Nor Weed Jen
Did ya see that the only way to be is off cillter?
That and that chick on ice needed a ride from the bay to the boulders
Or for what I think they still call it the 'east side'? (I should know but. . .)
I was prompted to see her need promoted; to offer her a last minute bump,
So that is what follows here( in case its going to disappear from over there?)
as a t appears
With out insolence a copy paste:

To bump,
I got angry at the bumper to tail pipe traffic and took an option to go straight while approaching the hi-way on ramp.
The choice led to small hick town , I'd not been to since The last time the traffic got me down, that time too, I was off with the family in tow, off to see the now slowing 84 yr old
She's a hundred miles away , give or take a few clicks. I should be a better son but the cops in South East a bum-f'ck town had other plans Got a two'fer so I'll have to plead to one It'll sure ruin the fall climbing season, And change again the cost of my now soaring insurance

And from the hills too no doubt!
Be careful when you get pulled over. . .
Keep your mouth shut.
I forgot about that!
'The Two'fer'
It is a well known Cop trick
have to hand it to 'em too, it works.
Even if you spring for an attorney.
Getting A Two'fer - as in I've got you, , , barley
( but officer I was just turning in here, to park.)
(Un) Wise -guy,! Talking Back, are you Crazy? -
Well? (Some say so, I like to climb rocks and all)
Cop no likey
saying things like
" the turn signals work - do they?"
Failure to signal,
but that's not enough
You'll need to accept that I say you turned from an improper lane
Claiming that I turned in front of him crossing in front of his SPEEDING grill.
He picked up on my sweet peanut;
she's painfully shy and cries at the drop of a butterfly
So he started talking about how he nearly T-boned us
and that her sitting there was a near death sentence
& if your in an emotional state have the wife drive
Then a'nther state trooper rolled up and hit the lights.
There were now water works in the backseat
thanks to "black lives matter" protests my kids are scared of cops
So it's a " I'll try to wreck your life by piling on more charges.
So that's a Two'fer as in a two for one or in the case;
A bunch a bunk but not the wreckless driving charge
a points nightmare,
that can be pleaded out if you've got a spotless record,
that I've got.
Two charges of failing to preform safe driving procedures.
I was, maybe, thinking of making a "U"-turn , when I caught sight of the rolling threat so just pulled into a restaurant parking lot. So I'd pulled a fast turn across lanes and come to a full stop
on a sunny Thursday morning at 10 o'clock
Suddenly becoming The Town Of "South East" NYs' most dangerous driver?
