Duck and Sally inside

They're cooking for the down five

Who're staring at Miss Rayon

Who's busy licking up her big man

I'm searching for my mainline

I said I couldn't hit it sideways

I said I couldn't hit it sideways

Ah, it's jsut like Sister Ray says

Rosy and Miss Rayon

They're busy waiting for her booster

Who just got back from Carolina

She said she didn't like the weather

They're busy waiting for her Sailor

Who said he's just as big as ever

He's just here from Alabama

He wants to know a way to earn a dollar

I'm searching for my mainline

I couldn't hit it sideways

Ah, just like Sister Ray said

Cecil's got his new piece

He cocks and shoots between three and four

He aims it at the Sailor

Shoots him down dead on the floor

Oh, you shouldn't do that

Don't you know you'll stain the carpet

Don't you know you'll stain the carpet

And by the way man, have you got a dollar

Oh no man, I haven't got the time time

Too busy sucking on a ding dong

She's too busy sucking on my ding dong

Oh, she does it just like Sister Ray said

I'm searching for my mainline

I said I couldn't hit it sideways

I couldn't hit it sideways

Oh, just like, just like Sister Ray says

Now, who's that knocking

Who's that knocking on my chamber dooe

Now could it be the police

They've come to take me for a ride ride

Oh, but I haven't got the time time

Too busy sucking on my ding dong

She's too busy sucking on my ding dong

Oh, now, just like Sister Ray said

I'm searching on my line

I couldn't hit it sideways

I couldn't hit it sideways

Oh now, just like, just like, just like.....

Sister Ray says.

CRAZY WORLD
A not so serious junk-fiction/book 1
Dave Stringi

Scene 1:

“I get my job done and I don’t fall out of line”
“I paint a picture of myself over and over again”

The fifth wheel clutches his chest in horror.
HAHAHAHAHA
As he peers at the mess scattered throughout the road his left temple begins to twitch. He begins to sweat like a maniac, slamming the frigid car door behind him.
HA!
Confusion

Scene 2:
turn
heist [hahyst] Show IPA Pronunciation
Slang.
–noun
1.
a robbery or holdup: Four men were involved in the armored car heist.
–verb (used with object)
2.
to take unlawfully, esp. in a robbery or holdup; steal: to heist a million dollars' worth of jewels.
3.
to rob or hold up.

John Ryke sat patiently in his headquarters. It had been a long day but he was content. The workers came in large numbers and their goal was clear: Seize Ryke Waste Management and reap the benefits/put the place to use. Redefine, recycle. They considered themselves to be heroes to the community. They were obsessive builders of all sorts and this was a junkyard, their playground.

“When the door opens you will turn into an animal.”
“Mr. Ryke, there is a gentleman here to see you”
“?”
Apparently you didn’t meet my dog’s. Let me ask you the question. !@##$%^What do you see in my management? Or is it the girlfuck? Yer a martyr in the eyes of Dumb-Founded Union Workers? Well, I think you are NOTHING. A savior in this material age, A junky? Do you expect me to just walk away …
Johnny boy, come on now. I believe you will do the right thang.
Initial Heist

Scene 3:
into
“The Earth is a playground. The door closes behind you and you become the animal.”

You are the handy man on the site, and Fred Green is the brain. The two shared a love for engineering during their earlier work with Junis “the Ant” Fiorio. There is much greatness to be spoken of the Ant and his keen eye for talent as well as ferocity. He is behind Green and the junkyard heist completely. He also has a strong distaste toward the slovenly Ryke. However he always behaves solemnly. The Ant just wants to be respected in a community that is held together through fear. He is short and frail and has been his whole life. Yet, at 75 years of age He still stands on the stoop in front of his modest three story home, small and beady eyes struggling to peer through thick glasses under a black, well settled fedora. Despite his lack of size, he carries himself in a manner, which compliments his mental intensity. He is rigid like a statue. A black suit, followed by a long black overcoat drape over his boney structure. He is different than most men of power. He is kind natured and eager to think everything out, a man of wisdom. He is The Ant draped in black.
And underneath this mess is some sort of rickety plan. The plan resembled that of a dumb fighter. He relies more on his arms than torso as he delivers each drunken blow to his opponent. But perhaps this was the ironic beauty behind Fred Green. He did not like to follow a given scheme. He was popular amongst foolish minds, and through this he learned to speak in a manner which was professonal yet extremely over bearing. To think that this junkyard business would be settled over a simple conversation was ridiculous. To a man of business this was illogical, Fred Green thought himself to be man of business. Still, He and the workers had to convince John that he really did need to walk away.
Meanwhile Grease did his thing in the back. He had all of his guys take care of the trucks while he went underground for a while.
No!
Now I have the BEST Toy of them all!!!
BLAH bleh BLAAH!!!
An animal.

Happy fools. They had committed larceny at a massive scale and they were also in the midst of a pure conspiracy. The Police didn’t care. They didn’t care who managed that mess, as long as it was being managed period. Fuck/.
When things get crazy/y’wanna drive?
T^HE GREEN WILL TURN TO RED!
I drive and I drive and drive and drive. I am in control of everything.
Am I dead? She leaves my blood and I am quivering like the scared animal itself. Perhaps my fun had gone to far/A police officer shot me twice in the face and three times in the chest, to finish a job that needed more finishing. I ask again, am I dead? …My joke has come to a screeeaching end. I have underestimated John Ryke.
She drives with me. I don’t know what the fuck she is talking about but we drive.
…crazy world.

The Police didn’t care. They didn’t care when we were quiet about it…But, I admit it, we may have gotten a little loud.
…to be continued.

When Im sure everything is alright, probably means im crazy. When I am confident that I am a lunatic I am probably completely sane. Ill never know. I ran my hands through my thinning hair this morning and as usual more strands fell out with almost no effort. The hair line is receding daily but the blood is still flowing. My eyes are the same yellow as my teeth. So I shave and look hardly into the mirror, 22 years old: I look 30. Ive been listening to the same Velvet Underground album for the past 4 years. The bald spot, the gray's, look like a skeleton and this doesnt bother me. my liver, my lung's, I dont even wanna know. If I am a monster, Ive worked real hard at it and its been a long climb. I feel like its almost over, closing in on death, all the fun in college, the madness, friends, enemies, good relationships, shitty relationships, the noise, almost over...hell no, not yet.

Bang BANG!
