"Slandering the Devil's Good Name, or Throwing Old Nick a Curve Ball"(Иди́ к чёрту!) ~ 2015.3.8

One day I found myself without a job

No one saw it coming, out of nowhere 

Ended up on my ass for six whole months 

Day in & day out, my search found nothing 

At first I thought I would find a job quick

Yet this was not the case six months later 

Wishing I could find meaning in the past

Insisting my job performance was not

Solely the reason for my dismissal 

Doesn't explain why you sent me away

Obviously, if I read the subtext

Maybe it will make sense to me one day

Let alone the fact I am now nervous

I will not find a place of employment

Given my present circumstances, cash

Has become an issue of inquiry

Though I wonder what will happen to me 

Should I not be able to pay the bills

"The Ocean Blue"

Praytell, if I had known before we met,
Under that wholesome Midwestern façade
Reigned the queen supreme for all things purple.
Praising Mrs. Patimkin for her eyes,
Leaving no one in doubt about her faith,
Even Prince William knew his heresy.

Silly of him to reign Prince of Orange,
Eventually, she would assassinate
Royalty like a female praying mantis,
Intercourse always ended with dessert.
Aspects of her psychotic persona
Left no one in doubt as to her M.O.

Katharine was persona non grata
In circles including sociopaths,
Leaving no royal family unattended.
Lest she catch their eye, all royalty fled.
Erik the Red, protecting his son, saw
Red clouds at night and sent Leif sailing west.
