perpetual jam!!!!!!!!!

[the mingo]

and where the hell are ya this fine
fine mornin' ?
cold again just cold
global warming a big lazy slacker bust
ya ask me
liz taylor - now there was some global warming -
we took that mobile home -
moving from a lodge to a longhouse -
should be all moved in the end of february -
close by the Little Salmon River
landlady owns the land over there
said we are welcomed to kayak it
whenever - holy kibbles & bits! Wireman!
been at the maps too -
the scene there is showing tons of roads
what i call NNL's - Narrow No Lines -
backcountry roads some no more than gravel paths
just barely asphalted with no centerline stripe
or fog lines at the edges
man o man o man o man
the first of them within a quarter mile of the longhouse
i'm gonna be jammin' myself all of that there
bet ya there's poems and what-all back along those roads
landlady says they run livestock in the field
behind the longhouse
can you say Mongolia in Yew Nork?
yeah i'm enthused
those evil deep dish wheels
on my evil bike gonna be
turning turning turning
to everything turn turn turn
roll roll roll
jam jam jam!
no coffee shops close
think there's some kind of diner over Parish way
close to where 81 passes thru
gonna have to get a backrack for my pony
add a touch of beast-of-burden to her fine clean lines
pack my own sandwiches & beverage of my choice
lookin' good ya know

Dear Wireman,
I've been a bad bad girl.
I didn't use first thought best thought.
I wrote the darn thing, then deleted it
and replaced it with different words.
I'm so ashamed of myself.
Come on over and give me a piece
of your mind! I'll make dinner.

[the mingo]

flu sucks
- better get it together though -

[Doreen Peri]

and there was wooly mammoth tracks
going across the north lawn

[WIREMAN]

.....with the right seasonings i hear that 50,000 year old woolly mammoth meat tastes real good

[the mingo]

o that's such a mongolia thing to say

[WIREMAN]

straight from the steppes
viva mongolia
all hail Genghis blues
rage on all u Tuvan throat singers
rage on!

[the mingo]

hell yeah
a good rage can be
salvation itself
or good refreshment along the way
sun's up but the shadows she's giving out
are froze to the ground
by God what does man know
beyond good food
good drink
good company
