Of course I can fly
Anytime I want to
Look at my wings
What
You can't see them?


I can fly absolutely
Take off anytime
I choose to
Believe
Whatever you want 

It is very hard
To make that first
Flight on my own
Away
From what I know

It is fine for you
To sit and judge
You don't know
Glue
Holds me together.

Hail Mary

Hail Mary
Full of grace
They likened you
To a bubblehead

Hail Mary
The Lord is 
With thee, blessed
Those who understand

Holy Mary
Mother of God
Pray  for those
Who are blind

Mother Mary
Pray, forgive them
They know not
What they do 

Oh tender Mary
Those begging intercession
Were never left
Unaided and bereft

Lady of Nations
Queen of Heaven
I beg you
Ignore the headset

Filled with confidence
I approach you
To pray for
Them, me, Amen.

Oh my God
You're bloody gorgeous
So handsome
Even though stoned!

Oh my Lord
What chiselled features
Highly polished
Smooth and suave!

Oh sweet Jesus
Mirror doesn't lie
Cannot look
At me anymore!

Oh hell fire
World must see
Let me snap
A pretentious selfie!


After thought!

I don't have
A better side
I'm Greek
Get over it!
