Somewhere to Call Home

It’s called that
when you return
for Christmas

It’s called that
when a house
shows off its charms

It’s called that
when aliens try
to phone the stars

I find it anywhere
that you’re in my arms

We like it more if it’s made there
and not from the store

It’s sweet in the middle
sometimes it’s a chore

Even when we burn our dinner
and set off all the alarms

I still find it anywhere
that you’re in my arms

No matter
where the sundown finds us
slumbering afar

I still find it anywhere
that you’re in my arms

Clever Boy

Whoring creativity
Rewarded for mediocrity
Spare time art is always free
Can’t just be what’s not to be

Clever boy
Don’t change that key
Nobody cares
Nobody hears what you want them to see

Clever boy
Your skills with a puzzle
Are lost on them
They don’t see pieces only wholes

Credit for trying 
A debt’s a debt
You owe the world something
It covered your bet
