    The Passionate Vampire (1987)

    (With apologies to Christopher Marlowe) Marlowe's Passionate Shepherd to His Love Come drink of me and be my love, And we will all the horrors prove That crags, swamps, and dying fields And woods with haunted mansions yield. We shall listen to the wolves that bay, Watch beautiful, shining daemons play, Feast on the finest whitened skin And find delight, not remorse, with sin. A coffin shall I make for Thee Out of the deepest ebony, And line it in satin (blood red!) With matching pillows for thy head. Dark orgies for thy pleasure, Ancient tomes for thy treasure, Stately requiems by Death played, These before us each night arrayed. In blackness of my own disdain As cruel tyrants we shall reign. If these evils thy heart may move, Then drink of me and be my love.

When the blackbird took out the long frosted window it was open house on everyone and foreknown truths were all better now, even for popes and kids, because nakedness was the shield they got, and my shadow crossing their secrets again and again with creative angst - nothing indecipherable but a few hairs and cloth. Eye epic, the cheerleader makes a pure A in perfect praise. VII. O thin man of ham hand I have caught you imagining a golden bird flew up my skirt while I tried to beat it down to the stirrups as the tour went by. Obediently the quarter spat from my lip and you returned blackbird fleshy swimming past my bats with your lantern in tow. Give it back right now. Give. VIII - Kant Toast.

    A Song Called Yellow

    (this is a lyrical parody of a song by Coldplay) Look at the snow Look how it shines for you I did something there for you Now it's all yello-o. I wrote a tribute to your teeth I took a shine to them For they were all yello-o. It's got appeal for me I'm just so strange you see A very peculiar fello-o. I found one yellow rhyme too When I was feeling mello-o Seeking inspiration from Shakespeare's Othello If only jealousy weren't bloody green It really should be yello-o Your voice is so damn beautiful Espesh when you really bello-o And you're doing such special things Don't worry I won't tello-o Those fine things you do They make me yell-o: "ooh!" I'm just such a lucky fello-o who Would lose all his life-blood for you Though it sounds stupid too Then I'd sure turn myself yello-o.

    A Bohemian Rhapsody (parody)

    (with inspiration and borrowed elements from the great group "Queen") Life may be a rhapsody Dips into darkest tragedy Ascends to upbeat melody That’s life Life may be a fandango A sweetest slice of mango Yet melodramatic as a tango That’s life Life can be bohemian Plebeian or rich as a Queen’s May be staid or in between That’s life Life may cast you Scaramouche Be judged by all a useless douche At least enjoy and be a louche That's life Life seen by Galileo in silhouetto Brought stars closer to his eye so Was by science thought magnifico As only he could go figaro That's life Life can be gay In every single sort of way We all come as we will and may That’s life Life is a fantasy An operatic panoply Brought to you in bright 3-D That’s life Life really matters Though every illusion shatters As on the edge of Hell one teeters That’s life Mama maybe Mercury or Hell At the tolling of the final knell It's Bismillah's or Beelzebub’s bell to tell Depends on how the wind blows at the end Not even you who gifted life could make amends That's my life
