MONUMENTS may be one
of my timeless pieces that might be for more of an older crowd…
I am trying to achieve the American dream of
leaving a legacy behind me. Sometimes just to wake up in the morning we have to
try to convince ourselves that it is BETTER THAN IT SEEMS…
I
am very interested in potentially bringing READTOM.COM abroad to an English
speaking tourist mecca somewhere out of the United States. I think that there
could be a market for what I do there. I was also thinking of being involved in
cruise lines but due to Corona I’m rethinking that one…
If your girl does more exploring than DORA then it
might be time to get yourself a new girl, homie!
The
Beatles caught a bunch of hell when they said that they were bigger than Jesus.
I wrote I AM in the spirit of that belief…
Some drugs are too powerful and you run the risk
of having your life go down the drain if you get involved with them. Sure,
everybody knows that! However, nobody told me that some women (ok, men too) can
have that same type of impact on your life. If (and when) they leave you it can
have a crushing effect.
Most
of the lessons learned in history are bloody ones. I’ve always looked at myself
as a cross between an English teacher and a History teacher when it comes to my
writings. So here is ANOTHER HISTORY LESSON for you all… ?
HIDEAWAY
is a poem/song about adultery. Only this one comes with a very “happy” ending…
When
you think of all of the famous people in history who have been killed or
assassinated it sometimes is much better for your health to remain NAMELESS
(hence no pictures of Tom!) Ha ha…
The
opening lines of LISTEN were inspired by my favorite T.V. show Threes Company
(along with co-favorite Married…with Children, of course!) when I learned in
one episode that Jack, Crissy and Janet all lived on the corner of Ocean and
Demora… I’d like to die there someday…
This
is one of my few things I’ve written that is intended for multiple singers. It
is my attempt at a duet. Hey, why not?
Unfortunately, eighty-percent of the people in
this country have exactly ZERO political power…
ON
THE ROCKS is for a female singer. An unhappy, jilted bride song that you don’t
ever wanna sing yourself…
Somebody telling you to have a LOVELY INFINITY is
their way of politely telling you to f*%k off for the rest of your natural born
life…
If
you are all alone on your birthday then this is the one for you, buddy!
