I Didn't Find Christmas, Until I Found You

For many long years I felt alone on Christmas day,

Even when others felt happy and gay,

As the Elvis song said, my Christmas was blue,

I didn't find Christmas, until I found you. 

Now I can see Christmas through the love that you share,

You help others in need, because you truly care,

You believe in old Santa, now I believe too, 

 I didn't find Christmas, until I found you. 

Even in hard times, with just you and your children,

You made Christmas special, but they didn't know then,

That you sacrificed everything to bring Christmas joys,

Unconditional love shown to your girl and your boys. 

You married me, I was not really Scrooge,

But I never knew Christmas they way that you knew,

Your deepest, most passionate love for the Lord,

And your Christmas decorations displayed in our yard.  

Now I can see Christmas through the love that you share,

You help others in need, because you truly care,

You believe in old Santa, now I believe too, 

 I didn't find Christmas, until I found you. 

 

 Thanksgiving Poem 2021

Thanksgiving is wonderful, 

Eating food with reckless abandon,

Turkey, dressing, taters,

Until you look like old Ralph Kramden

Traveling to grandma's house,

Covered dish lay on the seat,

Have to make a sudden stop,

Green bean casserole on your feet. 

Uncle Amos at the table,

Talking politics and religion,

He gazes at the roasted bird,

"Is that a turkey or a pigeon?"

                                         St. Louis Song 

Lazy people sittin' on the levy, won't you listen now, 'cause this is heavy,

When the spirit came to shake and move us, well, we knew that we were in St. Louis.

At Forrest Park the ghosts are playing the Pavilion, although their guitars rust,

 the spirit never left fails shake and move us, 

  when we rock and roll in sweet St. Louis. 

Meet me, in St. Loo... Where they rock your soul,

Meet me in St. Loo...that's where you should go....

Meet me in St. Loo...For the Whiskey War...

Maness bros and bands you don't know...will shoot you to the stars.

It's hot as hades down in old St. Louis, from May until the August fry,

But not as hot as music in that city, Chuck Berry plays there in the sky.

Kiel and Arena blasted classic music, like KSHE radio on the air,

Images of crowds delight my worn out senses, to take me out my rockin' chair.

 Well, I messed up my own name again,

It's not a hard name to say, it's Ken,

No, I haven't been drinking too much Gin,

I'm not thirsty, I'm Zen Kurski!

I mean, Ben Shurski...no, I'm Ren Burski...nevermind. 

Tin Machine [ original song] Blues

 You're from Pekin if...

You like to show the scar on your butt where you got snake bit at Lick Crik.

You've got more guns than dishes.

You're emergency survival kit contains duct tape and Jim Beam.

You wear your camouflage outfit to church.

You have 8 vehicles in your front yard, one almost runs, but you ride a bike because of too many D.U.Is. 

You've named a private body part.

For convenience, you moved close to the jail.

You believe the Pekin Dragons are real, as you work at the meth lab in your attic.

You have female cousins in North and South Pekin who have filed paternity suits on you.

You swear to fix the roof when it stops raining, but when it stops you think, "what's the big deal?!"

You always say, "we don't need no Rodeo Dr. to shop (pronounced like a cowboy rodeo), we got Goodwill! It's just as good!"

You refer to Grand Prairie as the "new mall," even though it's almost 20 years old. 

You often listen to your vinyl record of Edward Dirksen, to soothe your mind, while gazing at your Susan Dey poster. 

 I wrote a few "zingers" about how to know you're from Pekin. Ha ha!

You know you're from Pekin when ... you think stop signs are suggestions.

A "Baby On Board" sign is for your pet pig.

You call the muddy bank of the Illinois River, The Beach.

You keep your doors unlocked at night in hopes your neighbor will bring in beer.

To keep from mowing your grass, you put up a Prairie Grass Experiment sign. 

You think a job is a waste of time, since you're  already an expert dumpster diver. 

You don't need an automatic dish washer, since Ole Blue licks 'em up clean, real nice like. 

Since you can't get rid of all the flies in the house, you claim them as dependents. 

You call the strong smell from the distillery, Chanel Number 2.

You think bow hunting for Asian Carp should be an Olympic sport. 

YouTube Banned My Video, And they did not tell me why, 

Just said that it was "hate speech, "it made me want to cry,

I don't have hatred in my heart, my friends know that's absurd,

So I grabbed my trusty headphones, and went over every word.

YouTube banned my video, and I made a big appeal,

They denied it in 10 seconds, and I said, "this can't be real,"

That video was all about being kind, and fair to all,

But talking to the YouTube folks, is like talking to the wall

After I perused my song, I called a faithful friend,

He said, the song seems A okay, but one photo might offend,

So I took the photo out, and submitted it again,

The YouTube bigwigs shut it down, and that's the bitter end. 

 

Steve The Plant Steve The Plant, can he talk, no he can't,

But he's a hoot, like my great aunt,

Can he walk, or galavant,

Of course not, steve's a plant!

Steve The Plant, Steve The Plant, will never curse and rant,

He just sits upon the sill, resembling Oscar Levant,

Watching traffic patterns, much like that dude named "Grant,"

Greg and Dan kneel close to him, and recite this ancient chant.

Steve The Plant, Steve The Plant, make this show a worldwide smash, Steve The Plant, Steve The Plant, if you don't we'll kick your .....

Steve The Plant, Steve The Plant, make this show a worldwide smash, Steve The Plant, Steve The Plant, if you don't we'll kick your .....

 

My name is Danny Maness, at least, that's what it was,

But lately I feel distant from YouTube folks I love,

I used to get more comments and likes most all the time,

So I changed my channel name to Hazy Sunshine.

Why Hazy Sunshine, you ask inquisitively,

I'm I drifting through the mist of a foggy morning sea,

While the sun is begging for the chance to warm both you and me,

No, my life is doing fine..as Hazy Sunshine.

Do you sometimes feel your brain is fuzzy on a sunny day,

When your friends come to help you, do you tell them go away,

Are your memories real hazy as you say it's all okay,

As you toast your cheapest wine...to Hazy Sunshine.

Hazy Sunshine is the name that I'll claim from now on,

Forget the stuff I once created, because it's dead and gone,

Although it's still on YouTube, if you watch, don't stay for long,

Since you're all a friend of mine, join me now in Hazy Sunshine. 

 I'm conducting a YouTube experiment. I put this video on YouTube a few days ago with almost no response. Is the lack of response due to you guys hating the song, or are the YouTube algorithms interfering with all of my communication with my old time YouTube buddies? 

Of course, if it's YouTube algorithms, I'll never no. 

God bless you, one and all!

Remember...transparency is healthier than veiled secrets.

 I haven't done my blog in centuries, but I wrote a new song that, well, I humbly think is my all tom GREATEST!

Please let me know if this neo-classic song reaches your ears. Thanks!!

Free debate is healthy, it helps our brains to learn,

Keeping our foes silent, will cause a quiet burn,

That one day will explode in them, at least that's what I think,

So let everybody have their say, cause censorship..it stinks!

Will we once again start burning books, by people that we hate,

Take their message off of YouTube, cause we really can't relate,

And if they contradict us, on Facebook, it's a sin,

Do we censor all their posts since birth,  And do it with a grin!

Censor this...I believe in God above, and all dogs go to heaven,

Censor this...I believe that all lives matter, even my friend Kevin,

Censor this...I believe there should be no war, we should only fight with pillows,

Censor this...I believe we should stop the crying of the weepin' willows!

Censorship's a funny thing, it doesn't only stop, conservatives who fly the flag,

and defends the local cop,

It can quickly turn on you when your enemy has power,

to censor your progressive views, just like a fading flower. 

Why are we afraid to hear the words that disagree,

Are we not allowed opinions, in this land of speech that's free,

If you are for that thing your professor taught in school,

Go ahead and shout it out, so I can say, "it's BULL!"

Censor this..I believe that all government should be put into the trash,

Censor this...I believe that we all need to enjoy our pound of flesh,

Censor this... I believe we can fly if we just concentrate real hard,

Censor this... I believe we are all a part of the auxiliary Scotland Yard!

Censorship is scary, "cancelling" is cruel, those who do the censoring will someday be the fool, for censorship can come to all who think they have the "key," who never thought that anyone would censor such as me! 

Censor this... I believe that Elvis never really died at all,

Censor this... I believe we that we need to read the writing on the wall,

Censor this... I believe that Ufos and aliens exist,

Censor this... I believe that someday we'll prevail if we resist,

Censor this... I believe in everything that other people shun,

Censor this... I believe that being opposite is lots of fun....

I knew it when I first beheld your beauty, you were even more than just a cutie, your soft and sweet demeanor cast a spell, and now you have become my Baby Angel.

I love the way you shower love on me, the way an angel would so generously, playing innocent as a babe the times I fell, that's why I call you Baby Angel.

Baby Angel, we've been in love since I can't tell,

Baby Angel, when I see you, my heart rings like a bell,

Baby Angel, it's with you I always want to dwell,

Let me fly with you forever, Baby Angel.

I believe in heavenly paradise, I believe that time will be so nice,

But right now I have a preview of that bliss, when I receive your sweetest Angel's kiss.

I love to spoil you just like a baby, although some clueless people say I'm crazy, but I know the things you've suffered oh so well, and eternally you'll be my Baby Angel.

 

 Chasing the sunset, as I drive down the lane,

Chasing the sunset, you may think I'm insane,

But I love chasing sunsets, I know there's nothing to gain,

By chasing the sunset, and easing my pain.

My life is a good one, I cannot complain,

At times it is busy, and my strength seems to wane,

But when I get tired and want to give in,

I go chasing the sunset, again!

We Need Peace And Love 

The frightening fire burns in skies above, We need peace, we need love...The hate that spews and moves from push to shove...We need peace, we need love!!

Deadly words that turn our hearts to hate, lost ability to mitigate...everyone is in an angry state...it seems that paradise will have to wait! 

Fighting in the streets...take off the gloves, We need peace we need love...worship of the hawk, but not the dove...We need peace, we need love!!

Killing of our brothers everywhere...kneeling on their necks like they don't care...pushing them 'till they fall down the stair...pretending that we are so unaware. 

We need peace...we need love that grows...we need compassion...everybody knows,

We need peace...we need love that's kind...we need to change our hating hearts and change twisted minds!! 

We need peace and love...love and peace, our empathy to increase...We need love and peace...peace and love...enough, is enough, enough is enough! 

 

Taking A Rest From Blog 

I work best in the morning, so it's either write my blog, or do the 1000 little jobs I need to do, while the weather is good.

Thanks for reading!

I really appreciate you faithful friends who read this junk every day!

Now, where's my hatchet? I've got a stump to remove. 

 

Multiplying Our Happiness Exponentially!!!

If you take all the joyful things you've experienced throughout your life, add the happy times, throw in the pleasant days, and divide it with all the sad, depression events in your life, the answer should be at least 25.

If it's NOT 25, you need to do a lot more fun stuff to bring that number up, up, up!!! 

For example, let's say you've experienced 100 happy, joyful, pleasant events, and 4 sad, depressing times...

https://divisible.info/LongDivision/How-to-calculate-100/divided-by-4-using-long-division.html

Yes! Miraculously, the answer is 25!!

Of course, now you're thinkin' that happiness and sadness are beyond the control of mere mortals such as us, right?

Nay, my skeptical friends!

We can actually do stuff that will bring so much happiness, each day, that we will overwhelm all the stinkin' sadness that constantly tries to penetrate our potentially happy hearts!

Here is a limited list of thangs we can do to raise our happiness level...

1. Peel and eat a banana with no hands! Make sure someone is doing a video of it, so all the rest of us can be happy too!

2. Take a road trip to Goofy Ridge, Illinois, when you arrive there, do a goofy dance and hop back in the car singing an acapella version of "Dancin' Fool," by Frank Zappa, all the way home!

3. Take a morning shower, brush your teeth, eat breakfast, get dressed and shine your shoes...all at the same time! Once again, make sure you get a decent video of it, for posterity. 

pos·ter·i·ty

/päˈsterədē/

Learn to pronounce

noun

1. all future generations of people.

   "the victims' names are recorded for posterity"

4. Knock on your neighbors door at 4 am and ask if he/she is from another planet. When things start to get out of hand, offer him/her a bag of walnuts as a peace offering, and ask if you can be his/her best friend. What a way to bond with your nasty neighbors! 

5. Buy the largest bottle of vodka you can find! Purchase a thimble, because no one actually has a thimble anymore. Pour just a tiny drip  of the vodka into the thimble, toss it over your left shoulder, and drink what's left in the bottle! Happiness to the max, until they pump your tummy in the emergency room. 

The point is, uh, the POINT is, let's see...although a lot of sadness and happiness comes to us naturally, we can create our own happiness and unfortunately, sadness by our own activities, or lack of activities, or I don't know...just try to have a positive attitude, my dear friends! Even if MY attitude sucks!!!

Photo Evidence Of REAL UFO!!

This ain't it ↑

I'm  issuing this UFO alert to all of you who may, or may not, believe in the existence of extra-terrestrial beings from distant worlds.

Yesterday evening, before I retired to bed, I went out to take pictures of the vast, star filled sky, as I'm oft to do.

Whilst gazing through the high powered lens of my Polaroid camera, at Alpha Cassiopeiae, I captured an unbelievably vivid image of a UFO, operated by an other-wordly creature! 

Although the image is a bit blurry, as UFO images always seem to be, you will clearly see the proof positive evidence before your earthly eyes! 

This ain't it, either ↑

Just a little "heads up" for ya. You might not want the chitlins to see this, to prevent future, lifelong nightmares in their little brains.

Image of a child's and cow's UFO nightmare ↑

So, without further ado, take a gander at the 8th wonder of the world, the photo that will change the course of history, the picture that will become more famous than the Mona Lisa..."UFO Mystery Solved!"

UFO Mystery Solved!! 

Free Stuff Is A Glorious Thing!

So many people are spending their stimulus money like water flowing from a fire hose!

Pretend the water is money. Thanks! 

How do I know that? Due to the fact that the streets are literally lined with stuff people have thrown out, due to the fact they have purchased brand new stuff! 

In addition, folks have all kinds of construction projects going on, they're getting their trees trimmed, putting in swimming pools...due to the fact they have that extra stimulus cash, due to the fact the government sent it to almost everybody! 

Okay! Hands up from those who hate the phrase "due to the fact" right now. 

Serially, my friends, I see large boxes, old refrigerators, pre-owned ovens, used carpeting, ancient BBQ grills, etcetera, etcetera...lining the streets, more than EVER before!!

Thanks, Uncle Joe!!

Free stuff is a glorious thing!!

What could go wrong, right?

The junk guys are filling their pickup trucks with junk, we all have brand spankin' new items, and all's right with the world!

Only a freaking fool would think about a future economic disaster, super duper high taxes, China overtaking America in absolutely EVERYTHANG, economically, militarily, delicious Chinese foodilly, cute babies, Panda bears, etcetera, etcetera!!

It just doesn't matter when FREE STUFF is on the table!!! 

Yaaaaaaaay!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey! This ꜛ looks REALLY legit!!! 

 Out Of This World Wednesday...Be Careful What You Wish For

Let's go back to the last OOTWW, shall we?

Gary - "Life is good, Rosie girl! We are basking in the realization that planet Z70 will soon be free of all their mountains of trash, litter and garbage, due to the fact we turned them into super-goats with the ability to eat EVERYTHANG!"

Rosie - "For once, you're right, Gary! All we need to do is sit here and wait for....OH, NO!!!!!!"

Gary - "Oh, no, WHAT?"

Rosie - "Gary! Look through my portable stare-a-scope at planet Z70!!"

Gary - "Okay, Rosie...(Gary looks through the stare-a-scope) it's...it's...right up, I mean...it's right over...uh...IT"S GONE!!!"

Rosie - "Just what I feared, my friend. Not only did the populace of Z70, who we turned into super-goats, eat the trashy litter, but consumed the whole stinkin' planet!!!"

Gary - "That's not possiroo, Rosie!!"

Rosie - "Maybe not possible in a NORMAL universe, but this is Out Of This World Wednesday, where ANYTHANG can happen!!!"

Gary - "True. So how we gonna 'splain this to the High Command?"

Rosie - "No probleemo, Gary! No evidence, no foul!!"

Gary - "YES!! I'll just play dumb, Rosie girl!!"

Rosie - "Exactly! That's what you do best, Gary!!"

Well, well, well (a deep subject), it's like they say..."you can't win 'em all, they gave it the old college try...you win some, you lose some...destroying a whole planet and population is nuthin', compared to a whole solar system or universe,"

 so let's scratch this off to a lesson learned, okay?

A brand new adventure for Gary and Rosie begins next week! Don't forget to set your A.R.Ds (Alien Recording Devices) for the exciting, NEW episodes of....
