The Lolita Express - to the tune of "Marrakesh Express" (Nash)

The Lolita Express (Jeffrey's Song)

Looking at young girls
With ill intent in mind
Trying to make them feel
They’re safe and will be fine
Checking out their tiny bods
Hoping that they don’t think that we’re odd
I want me one that’s dressed in gingham blue!

Come here, honey, take a ride on Uncle’s lap
Don’t you worry ‘bout that bulge, it’s my Stick Chap!
Got something special for you
Let me do what I want to;
Just don’t tell your folks or they might sue.

Guess you know we’re riding
On the Lolita Express
It’s great to be riding on the Lolita Express,
We’re taking you on the Express
Hop aboard the plane, Hop aboard the plane

We’ll pay you a lotta money if you go with us
Even more if you don’t fuss.

We’re the FBI and we’ve been watching you
Just think what your cell mates they are gonna do to you!
We’re gonna nail you to the wall
You are gonna have to take the fall
Give it up now, you know you all are screwed! (Get yer bung holes ready!)

There’ll be no more riding on the Lolita Express!
Yeah, you know we are a-grounding the Lolita Express!
There will be no more Express!
There’ll be no more riding on the Lolita Express!
Yeah, you know we are a-grounding the Lolita Express!
There will be no more Express!
Climb aboard your chains
Get on board your chains,
Get used to your chains!

REMAKES is so much fun. Also, it is sad that we see the death of original, new ideas. Bravo.

Okay, I got a bit nervous reading Lolita Express. However, we know such grooming is a reality. (And a shame.) Also, the pervs got caught and punished in your poem. Great!! Yes, I could hear that song in the background.

Thank you, Joan, sorry about the creepiness!

I hope to have a more soulful poem in the next day or so.

I think a late-night viewing of Specter of the Gun followed by hearing the Bee Gees on the radio the next morning must've inspired this one.

"Doc Holliday" - to the tune of Holiday (Gibb)

Doc Holliday

You are Doc Holliday,
You’re Doc Holliday
No matter what you say
You’re Doc Holliday

To some folk, you’re a great man
Yet, to others you are d*mned
You’re best when you use your gun
Use your gun, use your gun

You once fixed people’s teeth (Then you changed),
And instead caused grief
Those who cross you, it’s said (They’re the ones),
Who just end up dead

Out here in the lawless West
We have shootouts to see who’s best
Even though some men wear a star
They go too far, go too far

(Interlude with lots of de de de de de de)

Some folks think that you are grand
The best Lawman in all the land
But some think it’s best instead
To see you dead, see you dead

I won’t forget that day, (there’s no way!)
In my mind ‘twill stay
Yes, I was there that day (that sad day),
The Corral OK

To some folk, you’re a great man
Yet, to others you are d*mned
You’re best when you use your gun
Use your gun, use your gun

Here's another one for three of my favorite FSM Poets!

"Hey, You Poets (FSM)" - to the tune of Hey, Bulldog (Lennon/McCartney)

Hey, You Poets (FSM)

Tall Guy, you’re a jolly sort!
I love, how you make such sport
Your lyrics make me want to laugh until I cry
Your humor really makes you such a special guy!

Dogbelle, love your videos!
You’re so, excellent at prose!
I often wonder where you get such great ideas
And I look forward to much more in coming years!

Your words speak to me
Your words speak to me
Your words speak to me
And I love you cause you speak to me!

(Instrumental Interlude)

Joan Hue, what else can I say
With words, you've got such a way
You make me think sometimes
In ways I never have
You never fail to give me pause and make me glad!

Your words speak to me
Your words speak to me
Your words speak to me
And I love you cause you speak to me!

Hey, You Poets!
You’re the best!
Hey, You Poets!

wink

Amazing, Jackfu. First let me say that you including a youtube of the songs really helps me get into your poems because I know for sure that I don't have the wrong songs in my mind. Thanks for posting those.

Really enjoyed Doc Holliday. My favorite line was Corral OK. Love that reversal.

I'm honored to be in the poem "Hey, You Poets" along side of Tall Guy and Dogbelle. Really enjoyed your "poetic" insights into we three FSMers. Appreciate you!! Thanks.

two whiskey bottles

As I sat in my room alone.
night had paid me a visit.
Only a night light gave a window into the dining room.
On the top of a table in the corner were two whiskey bottles.
one near empty, the other full.
Between them was part of me.
Each bottle cast a different shadow on the wall from the glow of the night light.
The near-empty bottle shadow , was magnified by the curved of the bottle. The shadowy color was tinted by the brown fluid in the bottle. It had became darken by the liquid of the near-empty bottle.
Whiskey has done its job on my friend.
The other still full , its shadow was defused by the content it held, light that passed had many shades of yellow, projected on my wall. Still sealed, covered with dust.
might be? what might have been! if not for the first.
time for bed, I must find some comfort there. To put my thoughts to sleep.
===================================================
Jackfu - you must be working overtime.
good stuff.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Joan - still has a teachers heart.
I must admit. Joan does write with style and wit.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tallguy - your cockney accent is kill me.(I hope I did not insult you. I know nothing about Brit humor. just what I seen on Monty Python)(God help us all.)

Heh, yes, thanks, Jackfu. Appreciate it even though I’m happier behind the camera than in front of it!

Cockney?! That’s it, my writing career is over! I’d be a cut-price Bill Carson!

It’s more Last of the Summer Wine than Only Fools and Horses...

Fantastic poem, though, my friend. Atmospheric and thoughtful.

To my two friends who each lost a child.


HAUNTING

Almost past Second and Union Street,
I brake hard, turning left
into the cemetery, my child’s
home for two years. Driving past
it twice each day to job and home,
my thoughts stray,
almost forgetting this daily meeting.

I pull between two pines,
light a shaking cigarette
and wait.

Your laughter slopes over
flat headstones. Floating
above ground, toes pointed
down like a ballerina’s,
you part well-mown grass.
We wave. Absorbing into my car,
you ask about my day.
I ramble, staring at
the artistry of your smile,
perfection of your face and
I never ask how yours was.

You disappear at my last word.
Just me left, throat sealed,
hands gripping the wheel while listening
to the idle of my engine.

I drive to the house with
your presence, heavier than
snapped bones’ pain, yet wrapped
around me like a warm supple shawl.
You are always tonight’s nightmare,
soft blanket and cradle pillow.

I promise. Tomorrow I’ll turn
easily into you, no drifts
before my arrival.
It’s too unbearable seeing
your recognition of
those tiny tidbits of time
when thoughts of you are
not sponging my life from me.

Nice Joan.
I know the feeling.
Me and the wife lost a little one.
The heart always has a hole in it.

Dogbelle, so sorry to hear that. Having a hole in one's heart is a perfect description.


Okay, we had on this thread a wonderful poet, dtw. He needs to come back and contribute...hopefully.

That was stunning, Joan, really. And deep sympathy to Dogbelle. Local friends have been in the same position, don’t know how that pain can be borne.

Thank you,TG and Jackfu. I need to come back here with a fun, light poem.

FYI, I was browsing through this thread last night and was delighted to see how positive all the comments have been.

LOOKING FOR THE SHEPARD.
My feeling, it's lost I tell you.
just not there.
I walked over to the humidor, picked a good strong cigar.
I placed myself in the big old lazy boy.
I took a sip of my whiskey and then lite the cigar.
A strong flavor rolled over my tongue.
my nose, filled with a aroma of sea and spices.
Smoke from the cigar filled the darkened room with white grayish clouds.
I drifted in my mind looking for comfort.
lost! yes, I was lost. Lost days, lost nights.
I took a deep draw on the cigar.
It filled my body with strong smoke. It satisfied the senses.
Oh! what the hell I said to myself, I poured another shot.
The lingering smoke that filled the room started to take on a shape.
It shook me to the bone.
Who are you?
The voice said are you lost?
Who are you!
I bolted from the chair. In front of the room stood a man.
He calmly said to me "I have been sent by the one who loves you"
What does he want?
the answer "The Shepard needs you to return".
