Mercedes-Benz
(From The Woodsman’s Notebook)
Spoof of Janice Joplin’s Mercedes-Benz
Oh Lord won’t you buy me a Mercedes-Benz My Friends all
drive Dodges they must make a mint. The repair costs and
the taxes as the gas that they spend. Oh Lord won’t you
buy me a Mercedes-Benz.
Oh Lord won’t you give me a night on the town. My wife
she done left me for Bozo the clown. The red hair and
that makeup it sure makes me frown. Oh Lord won’t you
give me a night on the town.
Oh Lord won’t you send me a color TV. They say that Bob
Barker is calling on me. But it’s Dialing for Dollars is
just what I need. Oh Lord won’t you send me a color TV.

Never comes the day
(From The Woodsman’s Notebook)
A warm summer breeze,
So light and so free
It comes into focus with such an eerie ease.
A warm summer rain falls across my face,
It hides the tears I’ve learned to embrace.
Why do I feel I stand alone in a crowed?
Why do I have to pretend to be so proud?
Why do I need to put others before me so?
Is it their deep down feelings I wish not to see
or not to know?
Are their feelings really more important than
mine?
Will mine be as important in a matter of time?
Do you know if you ever cared about me?
In my minds eyes it so hard to see.
How can I get someone like you to notice
somebody like me?
My feelings they grow like an unchained melody.
Where our paths may unite in heaven one day,
I wish I knew but it’s not for me to say.
