Song: Run Away!

Run Away! (Douglas Brent Smith) Don’t go to the basement in your underwear Maybe you can’t tell but there’s a monster down there Do yourself a favor and turn on a light Pay attention if you want to live thru the night Did you notice that the kitchen knives are missing? Now is not the time for teen age lover kissing Did you notice that the lights are blinking? Why head for the danger? What are you thinking? (chorus:) Every scary movie has them: brainless fools Walking into danger as the monster drools Zombies and slashers love ‘em, they taste so good And never do the one thing that they should: Run away!     Run away!    Are you an idiot?     Run away! If you’re smart you’ll avoid that cabin in the woods the one with a history of evil up to no good If it’s Friday the 13th you might want to stay awake Dreaming on that night could be a really big mistake  (chorus) (c) 2017 Douglas Brent Smith

Song: Scary Halloween

i went shopping for a pumpkin ran into a Christmas tree instead of seeing orange and black i saw red and green scary Halloween, scary Halloween i got stuck in between Christmas and scary Halloween i went looking for Frankenstein and monsters to fill me with fear but instead i found Santa Claus and his flying reindeer scary Halloween, scary Halloween i got stuck in between Christmas and scary Halloween tried to find my favorites at the grocery store but they're hard to find so tucked away things aren't where they usually live everything is there to give attention to the holiday display scary Halloween, scary Halloween i got stuck in between Christmas and scary Halloween i don't like to complain too much but why are we in such a holiday rush? with so many days between now and then but here we are counting down the days again scary Halloween, scary Halloween i got stuck in between Christmas and scary Halloween -------------------------

Poem: short timers

turn the pages quickly; isn't that the sign of a good book? go fast go heady go for the finish have fun be done then run ah, the sign of a good book, a great game and a sad relationship when do you give up? only one right but more rare than caring allows ~ when do you give up? all i senselessly say to that can be never never never never never never never never never never never -- douglas brent smith (c) 2017 douglas brent smith

Poem: nonsense

it was her attempts at perfection that kept perfection away locked up walled in and kept at bay never quite good enough to ever satisfy substantiated reservations proof to deny tell me again why it all had to end no, stop nonsense never bears repeating. -- douglas brent smith (c) 2017 douglas brent smith

Song: Don't Give Up Your Day Job

Don’t Give Up Your Day Job (Douglas Brent Smith ) Chorus:    Don’t give up your day job You could end up a poor slob Life without a paycheck Could make you a physical wreck Don’t give up, don’t give up your day job     All my friends are artists, one way or another Filled with talent filled with skills still yet undiscovered When the routine looms they hunger for the road Checking out, dropping off another heavy load Before they jump into something absurd                                                                                                                    They catch their breath, count to ten and say these six important words  (chorus) Chicago is the kind of place the race is always steady the competition’s stiff and hits when you’re not ready But people here never fear we work until we drop and one way or another they will end up on the top But even when we reach the sky and soar just like a bird we’re sure to tell the st
