Interests
MY PRINCIPAL INTEREST IS IN FURTHER DEVELOPING MY REaLATIONSHIP WITH GOD!

I would be mildly interested in seeing my writings published. They include:

A collection of Poetry titled, 'Roses Are Red / Violets Are Blue / Some Of My Poetry / Does Not Rhyme'
(with cheerful numbers like: Ailing Spiders; Elegy For An Outlaw; First Exorcism Of The New Year; and Devil On My Coattail Blues)

Short Stories:
2 versions of 'The Legend Of Cordes Junction'

a Children's Book:
'The Misadventures Of Muddy, A Dirty Yellow Dawg'

a Screenplay:
'Billy 'N' Billie'

a Novel:
'The League Of Soul Crusaders'

and Essays:
'The Name Of God'; 'Simple Secrets Of The Ultimate Prayer'; and 'The Short List Of Reasons I Am Not A Christian'

By a substantial advance, I might be persuaded to write an oft contemplated nonfiction book which I would title, 'The Demonic Deception Of A Course In Miracles.'

All potential editors/publishers should send requests of not more than 200 words explaining their interest and qualifications, and a self-addressed stamped envelope to my P.O. Box. Serious inquiries being considered will be responded to in 8 to 12 weeks*.

May our tolerance of diversity empower our nonjudgmental, nonmeanspirited multiculturalism.
Can't we all just get along, give peace a chance and vote for "Change"?

“Broken bicycles, old busted chains
With rusted handlebars, out in the rain.
Somebody must have an orphanage for
All these things that nobody wants anymore.
September's reminding July
It's time to be saying Goodbye.
Summer is gone, but our love will remain
Like old broken bicycles
out in the rain.”

"Mothers Against Drunk Drivers;
The Pope is against The Pill;
The Union’s against the workers working against their will.
The President’s against the Congress;
The Senate is against the House;
People are against politicians;
And I’m against cats in my house. ...
The city’s against the county;
The county's against the state;
The state is against the government and the highway still ain’t paved.
The banker’s against the farmer;
The farmer’s against the wall;
The doctor’s against me smoking;
And the devil's against us all."

"I am afraid Americans have lost their manhood and their valor. Oh, here and there there are still some signs of it, but we are getting womanish. The small comforts and cozinesses of life are now beginning to be of the utmost importance to us, and the little amusements. ... Men have forgot how to be brave, stern, masters of their government, their families, and their lives. ... Now men want safety and happiness."
