Jeannie's Story
Life
Hey, thanks for looking up my bio. If you see anything scary up there, close your eyes! (heh,heh)
For more than 20 years, I was a Singer/songwriter/ entertainer and for several years, part owner of a popular, local music hall, called "The Little Ole Opry Co." Located near Burfordville, Mo.
Several years following, I interned with the Irish Republican entrepreneurial Star Travelers. A cosmically conservative, outlaw band, on the fringes of societal evolution, we set about the enormously, minuscule task of saving extremely, small, unimportant planetoids, from near distinction.
(Pluto was nearly, our most prestigious success)
Sometime during my association with the R.E.S.T., I was sucked through a Loop-hole and blown into a prison cell phone, where I had no choice, but to listen to monitored communications, with conviction.
Since my escape, I've continued to hide out in the old home town, where I help own and operate an avionics shop, at the local, airplane patch.
His highness, Head Cheese and I, now live in a rural hood, where we have started a neighborhood watch, for drive-by tater gun shootings, between rival 4H and FFA members. (They are fun to watch... the whole neighborhood enjoys them. We have even formed a junior league of watchers, called "The Tater Tots Neighborhood Watch.)
Aside from my head executive duties, I am a highly unrecognized, published author and private collector of thought.
I still sing and entertain, upon occasion.... but mostly, I just, write, as not too many of my fans are interested in anything I do.
...... If Classmates.com ever asks us to include a favorite, high school memory, I'm going to say, it was the time we threw JJ Farqhar's shoe, out the window, during Ms. Sachman's history class..... I hadn't thought of that in a long time. Golly.... that was fun!
........ Oh! .... and the time Miss May, my English Literature Teacher, saw the used, prophylactic, laying on the sidewalk, in front of school. She said, "Girls! Do you see what I see?" (Of course, we had all seen it, and ignored it..... except for Gurtta, who had been poking it, with a stick.) Anyway, Miss May took the stick from Gurt, skewered the flaccid wormskin and flung it into the trash can, in one, eligant, fluid motion. Miss May was the coolest teacher!
We still ask the same, age old question...
"Can you bake an apple pie, Ellen Dye, Ellen Dye?"
Sadly, the answer is still, "NO!"
Still coloring outside the lines.
Still blowing bubbles in the tub.
bdeepa deepa deepa - That's all, folks!

Poetry, by Yours Truly...
THE KID
He was young he was cocky
and his name was Rocky
but everyone called him The Kid
They knew of his fame
for his excellent aim
so they hid from the kid
yeah they did
One late afternoon
he strolled into a room
and he shot a poor girl in t...Expand for more
he head
OH YES she got nailed
by the missle that sailed
so you might think she aught to be dead
instead
she just fled
they said
Young Rocky got caught
for the girl that he shot
had to have the thing cut from her hair
and the kid was too proud
to say it out loud
but he WAS the best
gum slinger
there

HAIRBALL
Feeling pretty gnarly
I was opening for Charlie
no shouts of take a hike
as I stepped up to the mic
Now confident and flip
and thinking I was hip
I sucked in air from everywhere
and really let'r rip
as from where I stood
it sounded pretty good
but not without a flaw
by act of Murphy's Law
Never thought my hair
would land inside of there
sucked you see inside of me
to cut off all my air
Now thinking what a drag
upon my hair to gag
with audience aghast
I couldn't think too fast
but something came along
to right that awful wrong
to aide my plight that hellish night
I finished out my song
Charlie must have heard
but never said a word
and even if he had
that couldn't be so bad
for I shall not bemoan
the flubs that are my own
and knew reprieve
as he did leave
this long haired country girl alone
(c) 1997

Who Watt Ware
My mother was born
on Watt street in Ware
I can't Imagine
comming from there
I swear
It is no wonder she
is such an enigma
to be preceded in names
of what where
is a stigma
Who's on First
and What's on Second
was as funny a skit
as any she reckoned
and Momma was never
afraid to invoke
a who what and where
as her own little joke
On Watt Street in Ware
in the land of Lincoln
a baby girl
with eyes
wide and blinkin'
came into this world
without a care
on a street called Watt
in the town of Ware

Pigtale
As children we were often found
with our momma gathered round
the kitchen table
for a fable
or a golden oldie tale
there were slimy critters to give us the jitters
tales of horses and stories of dogs
but apart from the rest
the one we liked best
was the story she told
of the poor drunken hogs
And so it was one hot summer day
my Grandma peeled grapes to turn into jelly
the dregs were set outside the door
and it was my mama¿s chore
to feed the hogs
A dirty job and smelly
But my mama went out to play that day
instead of taking the dregs away
to the muddy pen where Grandpa kept the swine
and so the dregs were let to set
in the hot summer sun she¿d soon regret
for the stuff had fermented there
and turned into wine
Before Grandpa got home that afternoon
and mama thought not a minute too soon
she dumped the dregs in the pen
where the hogs were housed
she thought she was smart but that was to change
because all them pigs began to act strange
and you can bet that the vet
couldn¿t guess
those hogs were just sowsed
