Last active August 29, 2015 14:09

This guy's a legend...

	(v1)
	Running, not stopping,
	Here comes Bob Smith.
	He's always chomping
	At virtual bits.

	(chorus)
	He's got Jenny's home number (so sweet!)
	Written down by the phone.
	She never answers when he calls her

Could be a sterotypical redditor/nerd, but could it also describe a guy I know in a situation I heard about?

tapostrophemo / When The Mountains Fall

Last active August 29, 2015 14:06

	(verse)
	He was born in the valley in between,
	Two mountain ranges covered with leaves of green.
	To the Eastern he would walk all day,
	Just so he could come back home and say,
	That he saw the sun rise in the East today.

	One day's journey it was unto the West,
	For the sunsets, he liked to watch those the best.
	...

tapostrophemo / Journey Through The Desert

Created August 1, 2014 05:03

	I drive a truck, my name is Steve.
	I call that truck the Wing-ed Steed.
	Named after horse and eagle free.
	That truck's all that belongs to me.

	I got no wife, I got no car.
	My seed ain't scattered very far.
	Although one time I had a dog....
	It was a good dog.

tapostrophemo / Metro-Pool

Last active August 29, 2015 14:03

Will I every be dry again? Maybe this ought to be called "(De)Ranged and Far From Home"

	(verse 1)
	It's so humid in this town,
	When I open the door I almost drown!
	I never see the stars at night,
	'Cause the clouds are reflecting all the street lights.
	I want to go back home,
	Where antelope and buffalo can roam.

	It's so crowded in this place,
	We're standing back to back and face to face.

tapostrophemo / Gatekeeper

Last active August 29, 2015 14:01

The song of my co-workers (and myself, at times).

	(verse)
	D A Bm G
	Gatekeeper, why won't you let me write that code?

	D A Bm G A (D)
	Gatekeeper, all this merging gets so very, very old!

	D A Bm G
	Gatekeeper, won't you please deploy my code?

tapostrophemo / Bright Patch Of Sky

Last active January 3, 2016 02:19

nominally about looking out at the Cleveland weather in winter

	(verse 1)
	Looking out through the window,
	Sitting here on the stairs.
	I try to see out forever,
	But instead see nowhere.

	Walk around the whole block now,
	Just to get on my feet.
	'Seems the wind won't stop blowing
	Up and down on the street.

tapostrophemo / Where Did I Hear This Before?

Last active December 25, 2015 22:39

	(Verse 1)
	Where did I hear this before?
	You say it over and over, again and again.
	Oh why don't you give some more
	Of all the things that you promised way back then?

	(Chorus 1)
	I try so hard,
	Try to give you all the love in the world!
	"It's not enough," you say to me.

tapostrophemo / Sounds In The Night

Last active December 20, 2015 13:09

I don't mean for this to be Country...but it's leaning that direction.

	(verse)
	Was it the buzz-saw hum of the stadium lights
	Or the earthy drone of cicadas in flight
	That brought back strong the memory -
	'That summer night - just you and me?

	Walking 'round the block to see
	Who else was out besides you and me.
	Our footsteps soft in the gentle breeze,
	The sound of crickets' chirp through the trees.
