Array ( [sid] => 86182 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Deuce and A Half to Nowhere [time] => 2005-03-02 00:08:04 [hometext] => [bodytext] => It is a lazy day, I have left base camp somewhere, Going to nowhere.
I am full, the sun is hot on my back my mind is far away.
The road is rough, large holes from rockets some gone astray.
Ridding on the deuce and a half to nowhere.
I'm moving I am going somewhere.
I should be more alert, but it is a lazy day so I must rest while I ride,
I'm not asleep just relaxed. Don't I deserve the rest?
After all I am in the deuce and a half on the road to nowhere.
What is that tugging at my cloths?
Taking chunks out of the side planks.
punching holes in the steel bed of the deuce and a half to nowhere.
Why is the driver being so erratic,
Swerving from side to side. Speeding up,
Bouncing as the large holes in the road jump in front of us.
I am no longer relaxed.
I feel like a coiled spring. In the deuce and a half to nowhere.
As the spring uncoils. Lightening flashes, things die that should have
lived,
Things live that should have died.
In a moment In the twinkle of the eye.
Things will die.
On the deuce and a half to nowhere.
Dust and dirt, Rocks and grass fill the air,
The smell of powder or is it sulfur? Which ever is strong,
I am getting tired. I feel a deep burning pain.
I think I will rest now. I am going to change and get off this deuce and a half to
nowhere.
I Feel good because I am now going somewhere. No more rough rides on the
deuce and a half to nowhere!.

Deuce and A Half to Nowhere

Topic: war



It is a lazy day, I have left base camp somewhere, Going to nowhere.
I am full, the sun is hot on my back my mind is far away.
The road is rough, large holes from rockets some gone astray.
Ridding on the deuce and a half to nowhere.
I'm moving I am going somewhere.
I should be more alert, but it is a lazy day so I must rest while I ride,
I'm not asleep just relaxed. Don't I deserve the rest?
After all I am in the deuce and a half on the road to nowhere.
What is that tugging at my cloths?
Taking chunks out of the side planks.
punching holes in the steel bed of the deuce and a half to nowhere.
Why is the driver being so erratic,
Swerving from side to side. Speeding up,
Bouncing as the large holes in the road jump in front of us.
I am no longer relaxed.
I feel like a coiled spring. In the deuce and a half to nowhere.
As the spring uncoils. Lightening flashes, things die that should have
lived,
Things live that should have died.
In a moment In the twinkle of the eye.
Things will die.
On the deuce and a half to nowhere.
Dust and dirt, Rocks and grass fill the air,
The smell of powder or is it sulfur? Which ever is strong,
I am getting tired. I feel a deep burning pain.
I think I will rest now. I am going to change and get off this deuce and a half to
nowhere.
I Feel good because I am now going somewhere. No more rough rides on the
deuce and a half to nowhere!.

a warrior poet writes:

I feel like a coiled spring. In the deuce and a half to nowhere..."

pearls on a rosary this a Hail Mary:

"...As the spring uncoils. Lightening flashes, things die that should have
lived,
Things live that should have died.
In a moment In the twinkle of the eye.
Things will die. .."

Good Job
Keep the Pen Busy
