Stuck in the Middle

Clowns to the left
Jokers to right
I am so effed
stuck in this fright
No place to run
Not having fun
at this circus

Pass It Around

I am quite fine
admitting fear
of ninety-nine
bottles of beer
A sing-along
long-tripping song
that children trill

I dreamt of lies
laughing away
cryptic replies
pointed my way
A mystery
was shipped to me
while sleep reigned deep
