This is as political as I'll ever get certainly...

The Conning Of America

A con man rolled into town,
With a funny looking wig.
Made a lot of promises,
Everything will be really big.

He claims he doesn’t like immigrants,
Says they cause a lot of strife,
But you certainly would never know,
By looking at his imported wife.

And he doesn’t like Muslims,
And forget it if you’re black.
And as for those pesky Mexicans,
He’s sending them all back.

He says he has a really big plan,
To cure America’s ills,
But you got to wonder about a guy,
Who can’t even pay his own bills.

He has experience in business,
His bankruptcies total four,
And with a temperament like his,
We’ll soon be in another war.

Spews a whole lot of hot air,
That he can improve the current state,
Never says anything definite,
But don’t worry it’ll all be great.

He wants to close the internet,
And the border to the South,
But if he’s going to close anything,
Please let it be his mouth.

Oh he makes a lot of promises,
And they’re all as fake as his hair,
And the saddest part about it,
Is his followers just don’t care.

I was on Lusty too for a while. It took so long for the stories to get verified that not a whole lot of my stories ever made it up there. I did get Story Of The Week once, with my story "Eve" which is on Lush, of course. And I had three poems that got some sort of acknowledgement...Poem Of The Month or something, but I think that was only mentioned in the newsletter as I recall. Yeah, it's been a while...

I just found this thread because I was searching for something related to Lusty...they had some thing going on for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and I was trying to find it...can't remember what it was called, but I believe it was still up even after the site itself went down...

And I was Exakta66 over there btw...

An update to my last comment...my name got added to the credits here..."Lyrics: Alan Jankowski & Lairdy333 - Special thanks to Alan Jankowski!!"...I believe it's on a couple of other sites as well, and he is cooperating....I'm happy with the writing credit on the song, that was what I really wanted, and I believe that to be in everyone's best interest...

Apparently that guy who posted the video, Ian A. McCauley didn't actually write or sing the song, he only played guitar on the track...so there was an initial response of ignorance, but things are working out as noted...and I told him to find out if any of my other works got used, and we can again work something out...so, so far so good...

If everyone else's stories are on that site mentioned above, I'm quite sure mine are too...but I started writing back in 2009 and I pretty much lost count of how many times my stories and poems have been stolen a long time ago...

Here's an interesting one I came across tonight...a guy from the Netherlands took parts of my poem "Size Does Matter" and made a song out of it...read the first four lines of my poem here...

Size Does Matter
https://www.lushstories.com/stories/erotic-poems/size-does-matter.aspx

And if you don't want to click on it, I'll save you the trouble...it's a good poem btw...

"Size does matter, if you’re a car,
A bigger engine will take you real far,
Size does matter that’s understood,
When we’re talking about what’s under the hood"

Now...go read the lyrics on this YouTube video, and this guy was nice enough to include the lyrics...and note at the end where it says "Im a hotrod man ©2016 Lairdy333"...bastard...

There's a couple of other parts too...I have to admit it's kind of a catchy song...I wouldn't mind if he just gave me a writing credit here...I sent him a note through Facebook...we shall see...

I think this is the first time one of my Lush poems has been made into a song btw...

Save them on a flash drive.


I don't trust flash drives...not for anything important...I've heard too many stories about them failing...

There's a multi-chapter story on this site that only exists because the author had sent me a copy to review...when he went to post it on Lush he found out his flash drive had failed...fortunately I still had his review copy in my e-mails...

If I have something important to save, I e-mail it to myself in Gmail...as do a lot of writers I know...

I do believe this one is worth taking note of...for anyone here who uses WordPress for their site or blog...

I prefer profiles be short, sweet, and not have a picture for a background. Keep it simple, silly.


Lol...you must really hate my page...and yeah, I do realize it's a bit long...the notes on each story might be of interest to some, though I did them originally for my own benefit...nice to be able to look back and remember the inspiration for a story or poem...

In the meantime, the one I just posted listing the journals titled Places to Submit does work, and should be pretty up to date...good luck my friends...

I'm putting this directory here, because it somehow seems appropriate...

Might be of interest to some friends here, and I believe the focus is on poetry..."Below is a list of publications who accept unsolicited submissions
Publications are organized into categories based on how often they publish new material. (e.g Annually, Quarterly, etc.)"...

Here's a list of 57 poetry contests "that pay really well" as they say here...note that they all have entry fees, which is typical of the contests with higher payouts...

http://www.ardorlitmag.com/poetry-contests.html

There's also a couple of no-fee poetry contests with deadlines coming up, like this one, and First Prize is a cool $200.00 U.S., not too shabby...and you still have almost two weeks here...

And the Albert King set from the last Fillmore East show...

Albert King - June 27, 1971 - Fillmore East - N.Y., New York

When I first moved in the area in '79, it didn't look like much, just an empty abandoned theater...and then a couple of years later it re-opened as a gay club called The Saint, and now apparently it's an apartment building with a bank in the lobby...yeah, things change...but a lot of great music got played there at one time...

This was written for a monthly anthology published by Inner Child Press...and here's more on that...

The Poetry Posse
http://www.innerchildpress.com/the-year-of-the-poet.php

And yeah, I am indeed a member of "The Poetry Posse" for 2016...so, I have to actually do some work every month...for this year anyway...here's the poem I wrote for the March issue...

Starting Anew

Flowers bloom, the Winter thaw,
Outside the songbirds sing.
With the arrival of the bluebirds,
I know that it is Spring.

But listening to the bird’s songs,
And watching the flowers bloom.
I can’t but help myself,
For feeling a certain gloom.

For I find myself a bit jealous,
As the flowers start anew,
So often I wish I could do the same,
If I just knew what to do.
