Let's kick the tires,
When our love expires And check the oil In fondness unspoiled. Marie, Marie, I hope you'll agree. Good friends till the end. Parking's just round the bend. Let's go for a spin. Can't lose if we win. Together forever. C'mon now. Hop in. Together, alive. Drive down highway five. Climbing the grapevine Until we arrive. Open and ominous. Let's swallow it whole. No waiting, let's vamonos Pour into the bowl. But hidden inside, Wrapped up in the trunk, A furtive flat tire. A old piece of junk. What could have been lovely Along Zuma beach. Suntans and cold bubbly Now roll out of reach. Though I'll just keep cruising, So bright in the sun. This old life turns over Where it's always begun. 4/16/26 ZONE S3E31

Hello, hooray!
It's Judgement Day. I called your mother. I told your friends. The truth, unfettered, Never ends. I rise above. I get the bends. You're all just rotten. Black as tar. I've not forgotten Who you are. At my request. Of my concern. I'll never rest. You'll never learn. At four o'clock I'll drop the hammer. The time has come Won't stutter, stammer. I'll read the sentence. You'll all bemoan. Forget repentance, You're on your own. No more evil. Enough of that. While flying high, Your lies fell flat. Don't cry for help. I'm busy packing. My own hard nut Is quickly cracking. 3/16/26 ZONE S3E29 Days go by,
Like the twinkle in my eye. All the shuffling here we do, To find there's nothing new. Sitting while we wait. Frown frozen in our state. We all want what is best. So sad just like the rest. Our needs when we get old. Close the door, you'll catch a cold. Rocking back and forth. Discounting all we're worth. But I still have my days, Sparkling in my face. When I used to run, I would always find the fun So now let's look alive. The only way to thrive. Retracing all our steps, To add a little pep. Wind me up again. Let me run and count to ten. Chasing after a ball, Even when I've danced them all. Time to feel alive, Before the end arrives. Brush the dust away. Hey, let's go out and play. 1/11/26 ZONE S3E21 Flatter snack.
Sneak attack. But you better Watch your back. Still, it's fun To come undone. Got your ego On the run. This and that. Dog and cat. Cat and mouse. La delouse. Thanks again. Not since when. Maybe next time. Count to ten. Adios. Beans on toast. Ham on rye. Got to fly. Call you later, Alligator. Call me back. Yackity yack. Feeling better, Altogether. Once in awhile. Better than never. 5/5/26 Rise and shine.
Didn't we have a time. No more mixing Martinis and cheap wine. Wilma, honey, You did great. Put on your face, I'm running late. Through the turnstiles. Off to work. Subway lady, "Some sorta jerk." Not much different At the bank. They don't know me, Just file and rank. All illusion. Scrambled eggs. Crank confusion, The question begs. Who will listen? Who believes? I've got nothing Up my sleeves. Wake up, darling. You'll be late. Tell Burt Sampson, He'll have to wait. 2/23/26 ZONE S3E27 They say you can't go back,
Unless the past is present. A gift you can unwrap A memory, effervescent. I beg you please don't leave. You know what's up my sleeve. I'm tortured now and then. I still remember when. Remember how we used to feel? These memories in my head are real. Real enough to remember how You moved through rooms as they are now. Walking through our house today, I can really hear you say "Flavio, it's time to come inside And eat your dinner" from the door you cried. Pick up all your scattered toys, Happy dreams of little boys. Keep them locked in a safe place. I'd see a smile upon your face. Nonna dearest, I need you still. My heart cools on the windowsill. Your warm embrace, so filled with joy. I'll always be your little boy. The heart remembers what it wants. Despite the presents' flits and flaunts. Forever after, even now. No way to know or sense of how. 4/21/26 ZONE S3E34 Hey, you wanna dance?
Shake those antsy pants. The way things goin down, Let's fold up this little town. You know I'm hot stuff, So don't go flyin' off the cuff. Action. Take two. That part's too big for you. While you've all been waiting, I'm gesticulating. Breaking every mirror To see things so much clearer. Since no one seems the wiser, I'm gushing like a geyser. So flattered that you know Which way the wind blows. I know you really care For my sexy savoir faire. We're all still getting paid. Wave your flag at my parade. I'd like to thank you all For hiding every flaw. For buffing up the shine. The honor's been all mine. Who cares for boring truth. Reserve my favorite booth. For everything I lack, Bring me a shot in the back. 1/9/26 ZONE S3E20 Walk a mile in my shoes,
Then you'll sing the winner's blues. Or maybe you'll get wise. Try my grey suit on for size. Hey, you're really looking sharp. Like an angel with a harp. Shoulders back and head held high, Who can even touch this guy? He was once a man like you. Dreams and angles to pursue. Then one day it was no more. Just a puddle on the floor. Written in the serpent's blood I'll be back, cuz I'm a stud. They scrubbed and scrubbed to get it out. T'was nothing left to kick about. Now I'm back to tap and kick, Showing off my shiny shtick. In the lounge or at the bar Tonight my feats will take me far. Walk with me. I'll tell you why All your friends will say goodbye. Start working on an alibi. You should have seen the other guy. He bought it so much worse than you. There's no room for number two. 1/5/26 ZONE SE18 There's just one thing
I ask On this day which be My last. That I witness Your regret For unkindness I can't forget. My injured little child's Been hurting all the while. Within the pain, this pearl Still growing like a girl. A shiny, smooth resolve To return the hurt you cause. Your presence is requested To sit with Santa Claus. The mercy I'll bestow Comes When my conscience Let's you go. Alas, it's you Still turns. Alone, inside I burn. To suffer Indignity. I brought myself, Just me. Who will care To watch me cry? I'll wave and sing This lullabye. 1/3/26 ZONE S3E17 Bang and boom,
Day of doom. Waiting, waiting, Contemplating. How much longer? Getting stronger. Feeling weaker. New guest speaker, Sir Gung Ho. Here we go. Mine or yours, Toe to toe. On your side. This the other. Both taught laughter By our mothers. Two-faced coins In our origin. Coca Cola, Brush to forage in. The heart has mercy. The will knows truth. Disagreements, Wasted youth. Give it up, If you know what's good. I'll trade my sandwich For your neighborhood. 12/29/25 S3E15 Hey, what's the big idea?
There's no simple panacea For a new appreciation In this uncouth civilization. Maybe another time. Fewer troubles and life refined. Steady? Ready? Here we go! Up'n Atom! Ro Sham Bo! Now you see me, Then you won't. One foot off the gutter. Come back or I'll call your mother! Wizzy Wing and Scooby Doo! Two can kick this old soft shoe. In the backyard, what we want: A prince, a king, a bon vivant Who'll fix your wagon And turn your screw. Come to find the joke's on you. Whatever can we do? Take my hand and make your peace. Pull something from your large valise To see it all, in fresh, new light. That hat you're wearing's dynamite! It get's me where I want to go. Bermuda, Jamaica, Cocomo. When your luck's run up a tree, Close your eyes. Open Sesame! 12/26/25 ZONE S3E13 Stop and think.
Take a drink. Before you sleep, You sew, you reap. Tucked away For a rainy day. A wrong array On knees and pray. False conclusions. Gold delusions. Moist mirage. Garret garage In baking hell, Fell down the well. Unstitch the seams, Bewitched with dreams. What good's a plan For Peter Pan, If the candy's bad In Neverland? When each day comes, Get out and run. Not after later, But to the elevator. On the highest floor, No need for more Melodrama. Best call your mama. 3/29/25 ZONE S2E24 Christian Horn,
Tired and worn, Found himself To be reborn. Beneath his hill, Time stood still, Then pressed his will Through it's windowsill. Along life's road, A truth unfolds. A dreamy, drama Episode. Marylou, He's kind to you. Not misconstrue The false from true. Delusion of the purest form. Know two sides of every coin. Reach your hand down in the well What can happen? Time will tell. This roadrunner's Got miles to run. Dry, hot running In the sun. Looking forward. Thinking back. Towards a future. Stay on track. 3/24/25 ZONE S2E23 |
