Cheese Box

Play the song and follow along!





Mama’s got a cheese box
She bakes when she’s stressed
And when Daddy comes home
He never gets to digest

‘Cause dough’s risin’ all night
So the crust is just right
Mama bakes her cheese box
Daddy never shits at night

Got no kids to feed
Milk makes the dog sneeze
There’s no relief from the toppings
It’s extra cheese

‘Cause dough’s risin’ all night
So the crust is just right
Mama bakes her cheese box
Daddy never shits at night

The pies go in and out and in and out and in and out and in and out

She’s bakin’ all night
No end is in sight
Mama makes her cheese box
Daddy never shits at night

The mozzarella goes squeeze me, come on and squeeze me
Come on and slice me like you do
I’m so melty good to you
Mama bakes her cheesebox
Daddy never shits at night

The pies go in and out and in and out and in and out and in and out

‘Cause she’s bakin’ all night
And the crust is just right
Mama makes her cheesebox
Daddy never shits at night

Poem Poutpourri

Dredging the archives, intermittently contributing to them.




Squirrel Repellant


Spraying under the Dogwood
in my backyard, I spot a crow
pecking the soggy, rotten
donut some twenty feet up
where a past owner botched
a pruning job years ago.
Two days in a row I’ve seen this
crow. I unscrew the bottle top
and cock my arm, but trip on
a root popping through my lawn;
the crow’s best friend he never knows
he has because I was a little
league pitcher and I threw strikes.
My temple hits the root and
the bottle empties down my collar,
across my tie and jacket.
Squirrel repellent fills my
nostrils. It consumes me. There is
nothing in my life except squirrel repellant.
I’m surprised to discover how
fond I am of the scent of coyote
urine. I am no squirrel;
I may be a coyote.
I may hunt house cats and
live in blackberry brambles
on the edge of golf courses. I
may trot through the streets
at night and hide behind
parked cars when headlights approach.
I may be trapped in a place
I can’t control, but I’m clever and
I adapt and thrive, like the crow, but
in secret, in the dark. Much more
clever than the crow. My cheeks flush.
my fingers and toes tingle. I wet myself.
I laugh, flop my arms in the grass,
and howl at the morning sun rising.
The crow, he’s still perched
in the dogwood. I can’t see him, but
he's there, watching, and
tomorrow he will peck the rotten bark again.

In honor of my House of Cards binging, I present the song that should be the show's theme.
