Dirty Word
we're gonna talk to the menfolk
yeah, we're gonna say how we feel
we're sure gonna draw them closer
just to make things nice and real
what's the use of a voice
if it can't be heard
we feel connected when
we're uttering words
if you're only thinking it
it isn't real
so why don't they
just tell us how they feel
loving words are the sweetest words
the dearest a woman has ever heard
i don't know why it just is so
some men make talk a dirty word

Don't Ever Say I Didn't Love You
don't ever say i didn't love you
with everything i had
of all the people in all the world
you picked me to treat bad
i wasn't the one who cheated
nor the one who always liked to fight
if you'll remember it was you
who tried to make a wrong thing right
don't ever say i didn't love you
the way that a wife should
if anything most everyone would say
i treated you too good
i wasn't in it for myself
i loved you as good as anybody could

Electricless
the wind howls
the electric has
been out for hours
restless hounds and
i hunker down
in the smothering heat
listening for an approaching train
they know a storm is
on its way
they lick my
sleepess and
sullen face as the tornado turns
and goes the other way

Eulogy For Winston
he had natural good taste
enjoying the finer things
in life while he was alive
he was a fine man with dignity
a nobleman of sorts
courageous and good-natured
his passing on at such a young age
tore my heart right from my chest
i recall the doctor saying his was
the worst case of epilepsy
he'd ever seen for nothing
could contol the seizures
he had a short life but
we loved him and saluted him
crying all the while
as we laid him in the cold dark ground
'so long captain winston
may you rest in peace
now that you've gone to where
all good dogs have gone'
