Lyrics –


If God had long hair
And a goatee,
And if his eyes looked pretty glazed…
If He looked spaced out
Would you buy his story?
Would you believe he
had an eye infection?

And yeah, yeah, God looks baked
Yeah, yeah, God smells good,
Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah…


What if God smoked cannabis?
Hit the bong like some of us?
Drove a tie-dyed microbus,
And he subscribed to Rolling Stone?


When God made this place,
In the beginning,
Did He plant any seeds?
Or did he put them
there for Adam and Eve,
So they’d be hungry for
the apple that the snake
Was always offering?

And yeah, yeah… God rolls great,
Yeah, yeah, God smells good,
Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah…


What if God smoked cannabis?
Do you suppose he had a buzz
When he made the platypus
When he created earth, our home?
Does He like Pearl Jam or the Stones?
And do you think He rolls His own
Up there in heaven on the throne?
And when the saints go marching home,
Does he just sits and smokes a bowl?

My 2 cents –

okay I was absolutely shocked to find out that this was done by the cranberries. it was originally a bob rivers song and joan Osborne made it a hit.

This is my work in progress list… and how I keep track of my word count.

I feel like the week flies by. I swear I just posted my count yesterday.

I have a couple of new medications.

2026 PAD Challenge Day 15

my response is:

our forefathers set up hope 
in a nation so young...
it was supposed to be freedom 
for all and welcoming arms 
for those who need sanctuary.

the new government are pirates 
stealing the dream.
piracy of hope seems to be 
unbelievable and profane...
for the reality of this country 
is nowhere near what everyone 
believed it would be.

2026 PAD Challenge Day 14

my response is :

you were always there
when I awoke after 
dreaming violence.

A soft safe space 
to wrap around me
when I shake from 
remembered violence.

I wrap myself in your love 
knowing that I am done 
with violence and am safe.

Lyrics –

We don’t need no education
We don’t need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teacher, leave them kids alone
Hey, teacher, leave them kids alone
All in all, it’s just another brick in the wall
All in all, you’re just another brick in the wall
We don’t need no education
We don’t need no thought control
No dark sarcasm in the classroom
Teachers, leave them kids alone
Hey, teacher, leave us kids alone
All in all, you’re just another brick in the wall
All in all, you’re just another brick in the wall
If you don’t eat yer meat, you can’t have any pudding
How can you have any pudding if you don’t eat yer meat?
You! (if you don’t eat yer meat)
Yes, you behind the bike stands (you can’t have any pudding)
(How can you have any pudding if you don’t eat yer meat?) Stand still, laddy!
You! Yes, you behind the bike stands…

My 2 cents –

okay this song has a story. I started 9th grade 6 weeks late due to childbirth. my best friend at the time (who was dating ny step brother) decided that my first day of school hadd to be special. She brought a big boombox to school and as I got off the bus blasted this song so loud the cafeteria windows shook. it was incredible and memorable.

2026 PAD Challenge Day 11

2026 PAD Challenge Day 11

my response is:

perhaps it is the universe's joke
played on my life that I keep ending up 
walking down the roads to nowhere.

I end up finding a way to somewhere 
but not in the normal ways.
I have no tether to the right road 
and truthfully I don't know if I want one,
for I have learned more from being lost 
than I ever could if I followed some plan.

I will gladly walk those roads to nowhere 
and find myself lost and learning 
than to follow the plan and be 
                               miserable.

BTW I posted a poem a couple of days ago and I said I was not sure if it belonged in kissed by Verse. I think it does not. I am going to open a new volume for it and this one…

Saturday Thoughts

This is my work in progress list… and how I keep track of my word count.

I feel like though I am exhausted and still fighting with bronchitis (Joe’s been giving me nyquil so I can sleep)  I have done fairly well with my poetry this week. I got a little bit of words to the current works in progress.

I have been able to keep up with the Fae Corps Publishing PAD Challenge so far. I have looked daily at the writer’s digest prompts and found that none of them work for me this time. I usually do their pad. as long as I am writing I don’t care where the prompt is coming from.

Tuesday Tunes will be up this week, I know that I have been hit or miss where that is concerned.

2026 PAD Challenge Day 7

2026 PAD Challenge Day 7

my response is:

under the midnight sky
tis easy to feel the hand 
              of the goddess 

to receive moonlight blessings 
and dance in the glory of the divine.

when the rest of the world sleeps 
tis easy to feel the joy of nature 
and revel in the beauty the gods 
                     blessed upon us.
