remember when journals didn't talk back
     when you went shopping you bought off the rack
a computer weighed in at 25 tons
          when robbing your neighbor you just used a gun
        you could touch your girls skin
  and smell her hair
   remember the sun
   is it still there?

  ~driftersonline~

so I write poems to bring back the past
   I dream about times I was kickin' some ass
   drinkin' cheap whiskey
   smokin' strong grass
   takin' the back roads
   and drivin' too fast
   wind up in a town
   with a  funny old name
   like Skookumchuck Phosphate Paradise Plains
   no one in this dive but a cat on the bar
   in Roundup Montana
   healing my scars

~driftersonline~

I'd like to write a poem
bout misery pain and strife
but it would be too hard to do
cause I don't have a wife

 ~driftersonline~

my bald head is shining
   cause I have no hair
   I used to be kewl
   but now I'm a square
   the chicks they don't dig me
   say I'm an ol' fart
   lurking online
   and down at the park
   but my liver is healthy
   so poor me a glass
   and lift up your skirt
   and show me your ass

~driftersonline~

well I'm a drunken rambler
   I know not where to go
   I'm 86'd from every bar
   from Mexico to Nome
   they say i do not have no class
   cause I don't drink beer from a glass
   my wallet is so skinny
   so I guess that I'll stay home

~driftersonline~

I wish I had whiskey
and beer on my breath
instead I drink coffee
postponing my death
I may live forever
but this I don't know
at least a drunk laughs
before he must go

~driftersonline~

  I'm online
   and doing fine
   I never see the bright sunshine
   My ISP is such a mess
   I pay them way too much no less
   When I get back on the road
   I'll be happy I am told
   maybe if I have some wine
   then my whole wide world will shine.

~driftersonline~

   I'm sober
   I'm sober
   I got a hangover
   please give me some change for a bottle a beer
   someday I'll quit drinkin'
   but somehow I'm a thinkin'
   It probly won't happen any time near
   so give me a dollar
   so I don't have to holler
   give me a dollar
   so I can get drunk

 ~driftersonline~

     I need a new computer
   cause this ones too damn slow
   It always freezes up on me
   where ever I may go
   I cannot find a driver
   to take me down the road
   So I guess I'll stay at home online
   forever here to roam

~driftersonline~

Happy New Year
sorry your sick
ya 1 more year of establishment shit
hope I can make it without giving in
to the man and all of his tricks
ya one more year then right down the road
down the blue hiway forever to roam
drinkin' fine whiskey
washed down with cheap beer
cruisin forever with nothin' to fear.

~driftersonline~

It's 3 in the mornin' and thanks for the warnin' but I
really don't think-that I'll work today.
I'll sleep right through breakfast-but doubt if I'll get
rest-the leg that ain't there-is hurtin' today.
They say I'll continue-to cook from the menu-But I will
be gone a week from today.
Maybe Montana Perhaps Alabama-but I will be gone
from here either way-I'm Goin' I'm goin'-Which way
I'm not nowin'-I'm goin' I'm goin So
-GET OUT OF MY WAY!!!!!!!!!!!-

~driftersonline~

I'm a prisoner here
Why? Its very clear
People spin around me
Never going anywhere
Concerned about my options?
They don't really care
They werk all day till Friday
To afford to go back Monday
Get Married buy a mini- van
And procreate on Sunday
By plastic junk at Wal-Mart
To fill a great big house
Me I don't need nothin'
Just my Microsoft wheel mouse.

~driftersonline~

LIFE:

I tire of it too
sometimes it makes me blue
somehow I do pull through
tomorrows another day
perhaps then will I play
till then I'll never know
thats how the story goes

~driftersonline~

Things don’t change
and people never do
So I guess I’ll keep thinkin’ like I always do
Look in the mirror and what do I see
A bald old drifter lookin’ back at me.
I’d like to go to Vegas
I’d like to go to Rome.
I’d like to go to Texas but I stay at home.
Surfin’ out my brains out till a quarter to 4
I think I’ll splurge a bit and buy a first class Whore.

~driftersonline~

Well
I’m a man and I like beer.
There ain't no woman that I fear.
Werk all day-drink all night.
Then you beat me up in fight.
I like a woman soft and warm.
But now I have to look at porn.
One of these days I'll get it straight.
But until then I'll cyberdate!!!.

Christmas poem
------------------
Pour me a beer
lend me your hear
twas the night before Christmas
and all through the house
all I could hear was the click of my mouse
no music no dancing
just me and a can
thinking of times I wandered the land
goin to places that I didn't know
the reason for going was only to go.
Again I will drift if you give me a lift
wander forever
and that ain't no shit.
