Good night

 Good night 
Sweet dreams 
Fairies, Elves, and finer things 
Deal es
Hobbits 
Men as well 

Giant ogers 
Evil wizards casting spells
Then there are creatures with no names
Locked in the shadows 
But deadly all the same

Anyways 
Good night 
Sweet dreams 
Peace out

My child

 MY child 
When you were born 
I was 21 and living in Springfield
I worked at Target stocking selves and helping customers when needed 
Then I worked at Cox North Hospital delivering carts and washing dishes 
Then at Shoney's washing dishes 
My last job was a Walmart gathering carts and helping customers 

Between my real jobs.  I took on a few side jobs
Bouncer at a club.  Not one of the biggest or meanest, but I had my ways
Farm hand.  Fix fence move cattle try not to get myself killed
Poet yes I know it is not really a job unless you get paid
I got paid good for my words

Then there were the stuff that just happened 
Delivery of a baby while trapped in an elevator 
Pushing people out of the way of a speeding vehicle 
Or giving CPR when needed 

My child 
A few 
But
Many more to tell

Twigs

 Twigs for brains she said 
Kindle the fire was my response

You have twigs for brains she said 
Just call me the scarecrow I responded

She shouted you have twigs for brains 
I shouted back all the more to go insane

She said I have twigs for brains 
I learned to dance in life's rain I said

You have twigs for brains she laughed 
Dam you I said

She retorted you have twigs for brains 
So build a frame I suggested 

She said these jokes were lame
What do you accept I HAVE TWIGS FOR BRAINS

Tatoons

 A cross between tattoos and cartoons, tatoons

Belly

 The deeper I wonder 
The further I go
Mystery after mystery unfold

A snack to fill the tummy 
Shake it like a bowl full of jelly

The soldier

 To fight
To fight to the end
Last breath 
Blood and guts spilling out

To fight 
To give my all
Every once I have
Freedom 
Glorious freedom 

By the dawn's early light
Rockets red glare
Heart
Soul
Passion 

For those I love
For those I don't 
For those I will never meet 
I fight for you all

McDonald's

 McDonald's 
McDonald's 
Big Mac and fries
A coke
Apple pie 
BBQ sauce 

McDonald's 
McDonald's 
Ronald 
Hamburger
Mayor Mcheese
And the rest

McDonald's 
McDonald's 
Playpen
Hamburger stools 
Birthday parties 
Balloons 

McDonald's 
McDonald's 
You have lost your way
What was once a fun.place
Now
Just another stop along the way
