ROBINS RUDE SONGS and POEMS

CONFESSION
Father
A bearded man
A pedophile of sorts
Put his hand
Inside my jocky shorts
I have the right to say no
Everyone agrees
But tell me Father
Is it so
That I cant say Please?
LITTLE FETUS
Dyou want to be aborted little fetus?
Or dyou want to enter the world?
Dyou think youd like pollution?
Politics and war?
Or maybe a religion
And settle an ancient score?
You dont know what its like out there
Your mama doesnt want you
And your papa doesnt care
And youd be a pain
A drudgery and a drain
Dyou want to be aborted little fetus?
Or dyou want to experience?
Dyou think youd like sunsets?
Dogs, jokes and sex?
Or the thrill of mind and muscles moving
And knowing youre a being
Who can love?
You dont know what its like out there
Your mama doesnt want you
And your papa doesnt care
And youd be a pain
A drudgery and a drain
But then again?
ALL OF ME IS ME
Im a real nice guy who tries
But Ill screw you in the eyes
Inadvertently
When my pride is me.
All of me
Not just what you see
Or what I want to be
Is me
I have my high ideals
But testing them reveals
Occasionally
I act cynically
All of me
Inconsistently
Contradictorially
Is me.
Im loving sweet and kind
But my passion you will find
Whelmingly
Get the best of me
All of me
Cowardly
Outrageously
Is me.
All of me
Not just what you see
Or what I want to be
Is me.
SEXABUSE ME BABY
Georges in the bedroom
Sexabusin Mom
Sisters in the cellar
Sexabusin Tom
All I got is vaseline
I wanna know how come
Come on come on come on
Sexabuse me Baby
Violate my bod
I wanna be molested
Oh my god
Hands in my pants
It aint no use
I never get a chance
At sexabuse
Try me out Baby
I wont refuse
Come on come on come on
Sexabuse me Baby
Violate my bod
I wanna be molested
OH MY GOD
(MAN)
Slapping the slut
Is what she needs
I get a rush
When she bleeds
Abuse abuse
(WOMAN)
Battering Billy
Does something for me
His shrieks and screams
Are therapy
Abuse abuse
(CHILD)
Beating my dog
Is so much fun
I tie it up first
And pretend its Mum
Abuse abuse
ABUSIVE DEMENTIONS
Family life education
Scare the little fuckers shitless
Be pitiless
AIDs sex morality
Championing chastity
Not safer ways of having fun
With and without condoms
Heroic mendacity
Condoned by democratic sentiment
Media agenda
State propaganda
Messages of hate
Commissars of the cocaine trade
Are made
Incarnations of Beezelbub
Political realities
Fear hate and enemies
Manipulated loyalties
Someones keeping score
Problem solving systems
Thriving on failure
Keep things as they were
Before
Inculcating ignorance
Enforcing innoncence
On the horny pubescent child
Who can now say yes and
Take a practical lesson
In being wild
Abuse by lies and ignorance
Not telling the young
What they need to know
Does more damage than
Assaults by word or hand
You gotta know to grow
Authorized abuse
Clad in white raiment
But hardly heaven sent
What can be done with it?
Noble intent
But bullshit
CANADIAN GARRET
So you want to be a man of the arts young fart
A recognized entity in our tenuous identity
Heres some hints for a start if youre smart
What courses have you taken
Or vices forsaken?
An old stint in the joint
Reformed is a point
And have you paid your dues?
Joined the clubs
Expressed your views?
And attended well agendaed committee meetings too?
Dyou know the trendy perturbations
Of literary masturbations?
Or the avante garde of yesteryear
That permanent ersatz frontier?
Council grantapplications?
Do not despair of machinations
Its all fair you will learn
When finally its your turn
Theres fund transfusions
For failing forms
So old elites retain their norms
And if your talents are more prosaic
Theres cementing tiles in our mosaic
And youll find theres plenty pence
For esoteric obscure nonsense
TWO CANADAS
When I was just a tiny tot
Knowing more than I ought
Politically
I learnt something obviously true
That Canada was split in two
By the Strait of Georgia sea
But well before my adolescence
Something new made greater sense
Provincially
I was on the western side
Of what they call the Great Divide
More than geographically
Later as a keen student
Trying hard to be prudent
Intellectually
It was learnedly revealed
The problem was the Precambrian shield
National developmentally
Then when I was a bright young man
I found that down the middle ran
Verily
La riviere des Outaouais
Which determines what one says
More than linguistically
But now of course I have to smile
Some draw the line at Belle Isle
Parochially
Or for national unitys sake
On the nether shores of Meech Lake
Pseudoconstitutionally
Give me a break
CHILDREN OF THE MIDDLE CLASS
Children of the middle class
Let me fuck you in the ass
My velocity against your mass
You make me drool
You make me smile
Your pampered bottoms
Clad in style
Buggery buggeroo
Pull them down
So can screw
You and you and you
THE 1990S
Forget the politicians
Theyre irrelevant now
Everything is economics
And business shows us how
Markets and competition
Determine our lives style
And the markets more than mechanism
Its the ideology as well
Forget about religion
Were all so tolerant
It doesnt really matter
What any prophet meant
But if you got some problems
Family, drugs or sanity
Or simply want to kill yourself
Theres psychotherapy
MAGYAR MADNESS
Enjoy your flavourless democratic french fries
Praise the moral fortitude and righteousness
of economists from Chicago and London
Inspire idealistic youth
with the divinity of markets and central banks
Recycle the vomit of offended sweet old ladies
of all ages and sexes
that is enshrined in the laws of the West
so you can compete in creating cultural criminals
out of the ultimate dissenters
Punish children for innate brattiness
for that is the gateway to sedition
We must learn to cooperate
for the greater good of the few
As always
GORBACHEV
A man on Mars
Is what he needs
This man who satisfies
The minor greeds for peace
And saying ones piece
A man on Mars
Not more in wars For this man who restores
Things as they ought to be
A man on Mars
Is what he needs
To bolster his other deeds
A man on Mars
To gaze at us
Raising Soviet status
To preserve duality
No one single hegemony over all
A choice at least
Of evils.
TORONTO
Toronto Toronto
Dah dah dee dee
Turawna Turawna
Canadian piranha
You think youre the whole country
Maybe you are
More closer than far
But you still got some quality
You aint got no mountains
An you got no sea
But you got Yonge Street
And part of me
Toronto Toronto
Fuddle dee dee
Hog town blue town
Righteously renowned
Into high finance and marketry
More glib and pale
Than Molsons ale
But youre not all poverty
It aint gettin better
It aint as free
But you got Yonge Street
And part of me
VANCOUVER
Mountains stumbling into the sea
Riverlands and ecology
The mainland ports ascendancy
VSE and corporate centre
Primping on the Pacific Rim
Inviting all investment in
And rich to enter
Trying desperately to be
A nouveau mini world class city
PRO IN THE KNOW
The boy let the sound
Trip through his mind
The man analysed the music
The boy found, experienced the spell
The man with weariness
And perhaps too well for his own good
Understood
The techniques of the art [ ROBINS RUDE SONGS & POEMS ]
CARELESS OF YOUR INNOCENCE
Careless of your innocence
Enchanted by your youth
I wanted you
And for you greatness
Fame I never had
Me a lonely man
And you, what can I say, a sexy lad.
Careless of your innocence
But knowing of your needs
And wanting you
I catered to your fantasies
Fathering I never had
Me a jaded man
And you a knowing lad.
Careless of your innocence
I bared my love and lust
Careless of my own
But I found a friend and son
Family I never had
Me a loving man
You a loving lad.
RENEWAL IN THE NIGHT
Shady days
and cocaine nights that never end
til I wend my way home
past dawns birds chirping in the pines.
We talk and be again
you and me re-being we
in our mutual nudity
of mind and past and friends.
Real time
time of being
of being in the unselfconscious here and now
not to be remembered or dwelt upon
not an invesunent in the memory bank
of some future good old days
but real time
unmeasured unahocated
unjustified free
time spent being
being me.
DONT DO DRUGS
Dont do drugs,
Doin drugss is bad
Listen twhat they say,
Believe, an youll be glad
You said, No way.
Emulate our athletes,
Protect your mental health.
Dont listen to your friends,
Dont find out for yourself.
Experimentings fine,
If youve got a few degrees
In medicine, psychology,
And willing chimpanzees.
So please
Dont do drugs.
Doin drugs is sick.
They rot your brain
Worsen playin with your prick
Or television strain.
Ill tell you once again
Dont do drugs.
HAPPINESS IS A WARM BEER
I aint got no groceries
An Im all outa drugs
My room is a-freezin
An crawlin with bugs
I aint got no money
An cant buy the best
My debts are a-pilin
But what is the test
H a p p i n e s s
Is a warm beer
Locally brewed
Happiness is being
Bein in the mood
I aint got no family
An dont need no friends
I dont have excuses
An dont make amends
When you are down
An luxuries are dear
Remember that happiness
Is a warm beer
H a p p i n e s s
Is a warm beer
Or whats in the fridge
Happiness is being
Bein inebriated
KING NOSMO
Smoke gets in your eyes
Isnt it real nice?
It makes you realize
That smokings not a vice
Its addiction
And I confess, now and then
Christmas and Ramadan
With coffee in the morning
And daffodils in spring
Booze makes you a lush
Mushrooms make you mush
And cocaine has its rush
But one you cannot touch
Is nicotine
The queen of all the drugs
Youve ever seen
And I confess, now and then
A quarter to and after ten
With coffee in the morning
And daffodils in spring
Valium is much desired
Heroin gets you wired
And marijuana fired
But a taste to be acquired
Quite easily
Is you bet
The cigarette
And I confess, now and then
Excuse me
Ive got to go to the store for more
BENEVOLENCE
We all love you
Out here in Rosebud Alberta
Were not ashamed of you Ben
Were concerned
We understand
We dont think it was very grand
But steroids are only a drug
only a drug
An drugs are just somethin yuh do
somethin yuh do
One mans passion
Another mans poison
So whatre yuh supposed to do?
Youre still our idol
Out here in Rosebud Alberta
Youre still our number one guy
You tried
And you lied
An some of us cried
But steroids are only a drug
only a drug
An drugs am just somethin yuh do
somethin yuh do
One mans passions
Another mans poison
So whatre yuh supposed to do?
CIGARETTE
Companionship and solace
Living smoke intercoursing with air
Caught by slanting sunbeams
Twisting shapes
To contemplate
And being there inviting dreams
Solitude without loneliness
A friend with taste
You can caress and share
ALL YOU NEED TO KNOW
Some educations to inform
Entertain and delight
Explaining what is right
And possibly fun
But by gum
When it comes to drugs
Theres a rule of thumb
All you need to know
Is no no no
Some educations to inform
And somes to make you think
Lets you make the link
And respects your mind
But when it comes to drugs
You will find
All you need to know
Is no no no
Some educations to inform
And some shows you how
Wow no shit
You learn how
To do it
But somehow for your mind to grow
When it comes to drugs
Thats not so
All you need to know
Is no no no
SEX OBJECT
(MAN)
Big bouncing boobs
Get my endocrines squirtin
Hormones take over
An soon Im a-flirtin
(CHORUS)
Sex object, turn me on
Sex object, lets screw
Sex object, get me off
Thats what I expect of you
(WOMAN)
Incredible hunks
Muscled and poised
Ignite my psyche
More than mere boys
(CHORUS)
Sex object, turn me on
Sex object, lets screw
Sex object, get me off
Thats what I expect of you
(HERITORHIM)
A fantastic ass
Atop slender jeaned legs
Ill make a pass
Regardless of sex
(CHORUS)
Sex object, turn me on
Sex object, lets screw
Sex object, get me off
Thats what I expect of you
SEX OBJECT TWO
I hate people
Theyre too complex for me
I want sex to be
Without human perplexity
Strictly
Sex objects and me
PHOTOROTIC
Photographys a turn on
Its not my fault
That when my shutter clicks
Its sexual assault
I caught her by the downy fuzz
Along her upper lip
Zoomed in to her cleavage
And the contours of her hip
I got another trophy
With my Canon F T b
Photographys a turn on
Orgasmic ecstacy
SEX OBJECT FOUR
You meet a nice sex object
One thats smart and pretty too
But whats the next thing to expect?
Theyre a person much like you
WRECK BEACH
Wreck Beach in the rain
Huddled forms neath dripping trees
What a pain!
I pray for balmy breeze
To tease my eyes
And please my mind
And feed my kind of fantasies
Again
SEX OBJECT SEVEN
Sex object
I want to fuck
Sex object
Serve my ends
I dont need friends
Dont be nice and bare yourself to me
I just want your nudity
Sex object
Show respect
Show respect to me
Dont flaunt your personality
Just satisfy my fantasy
Which is me me me
Master over thee thee thee
Sex object
Dont dissect and offer thoughts to me
Inflicting your individuality
I object sex object
Leave me free
Dont be direct
Please please please
Oh sex object youre true
Our relations wrecked
Im in love with you.
MANILAMANIAC
[YOURE CRAZY TO BE HERE]
Sauna city, three shirt and shower days
Diesel lungged by quaintly painted jeepneys
Senses assaulted
Blaring street cacophonopia
Horns a-plenty
Graceful golden limbs with canker sores
Merely breathing, you and me
Umihi
Hee hee hee ho ho
An English city visually
But what you hears not what you see
O o, no no
Cept on Tagalog bawal-ed walls
Vendor stalls
And possibly some student halls
So?
YOU CAN LEAVE ANYTIME
Airline offices abound
Package tours to the Motherland
Ancestors never saw
Compete with twice weekly trips to Ho Chi Minh City
Or maybe an extortionist will help you on your way
The vendor hordes of Santa Cruz
Goods tricely bundled
Flee yet another attempt at civic beautification
Urchins of Ermita scamper to the cry of Bagansa
Traffic bends around the bulging sidewalk
Where burnt out squatters camp
A beggar lad, all limbs lopped
A victim of some vengeance?
Takes your coin with stabs
Calesa and cronycrat limoed in luxury
Trespass the jeepney jungle
Policemen play cops and robbers with themselves
Growing GNPs and poverties
Insurgencies, illiteracies
And common ordinary everyday disease
Aircon economy, peso astronomy for some
And the poor used to live fairly well
BUT YOU STAY
50s, 60s jukebox timewarp
Little kids dance to the imported nostalgia
Nights ending with the lonley cry of Balut
Paco Park, omnifarious oasis
Noosed by rumbling roads
Its giant wounded acacias
Rotting and regenerating
North cemeteries mausoleum madness
Disneyland of death
Were the living housed half as well
South Pacific seaside shanties
Periodically removed
Embrace the Embassy
OR COME AGAIN IF YOU CANT
Glossary: umihi=urine; o o=yes; bawal=nos
and donts; Santa Cruz=downtown shopping district; Ermita=tourist district; bagansa=welfare police;
calesa=horse carriage; balut=unhatched duck eggs,

BONTOC MOUNTAIN BOYS
Mountain boys are strong and pretty
Long lashed eyes with steady gain
Proud mountain chests and attitudes
And sturdy mountain climbing legs
Mountain boys are independent
As in the ators of the past
When boys left home pubertally
Apprenticing to be men
Mountain boys know who they are
Confident with graceful poise
Loving pleasure and adventure
And keeping up their pride
Mountain boys still meet in shadows
As of yore discussing war
Not of ancient head-taung battles
Mercifully mild
But AFP and NPA
M-16s and more
ADIDAS DIGNITY
The soils no good
The roads not near
Soldiers come
An farmers fear
An sometimes people
Hungry here
We want prosperity
Schools and electricity
Our children want the dignity
Of Adidas on their feet
Cut down the jungle
Slash and burn
No more poverty
Its our turn
Well have a party
And grow cocaine
We want prosperity
More food and TV
Our children want the dignity
Of Adidas on their feet
Defend our land And liberty
Join the band of insurgency
Fight the military
And kill the Gringos men
We want prosperity
Guns not charity
Our children want the dignity
Of Adidas on their feet
WILDERNESS CAMP
A barely setting sun rises, pink flecking little
waves that lap on birch-backed beach, whose coarse
pink grains pain pink greenhorns feet.
Bleary-eyed leader blows reveille, tents grumble
but boys emerge and plunge their bedwarm bodies
in water cold as diamonds fire.
Downy, goosepimpled limbs wait in line for porridge.
Boys made to march through swamps where leeches dwell.
Boys forced to ford boulder-bottomed streams,
numbed feet feeling for footholds
in the icy, pulling torrent.
Boys ordered to climb rugged rockfaces,
loose stones for slips and slides that could break
bones, and to run with leg-stretching strides
down the smoother slope the other side
that takes them home.
Boys doing pushups, punishment not minded,
muscles straining neath sun-pinked skin
until theyre paining and made to start again.
Sweaty boys, boots a-stinking,
dirty boys, logs scratched and scabbing
exhausted boys, resting sprawled,
waiting for beans and bacon and orange-flavoured Tang.
Campfire circus, memory machine
with bawdy songs and wieners.
Lights Out, whispers in the night
a time for secrets, and sleep.
OK WINE
Okanagan wine
Is fine by me
Twelve percent by volume
Quality
White doesnt stain the carpet
But the kids all like ros�
And the red is so romantic
I dont know what to say
BLUE VIOLETS
Roses are red
Pansies are pretty
Queens are a scream
But youre only witty
PUREX
Wiping your ass
Is wiping out our forests
And can you imagine
How many trees it would take
To wipe the assholes of Asia?
Nobody needs it
That nice soft paper
Should be placed beside heroin
On the Narcotic Control Act list
Let your fingers do the wiping
Let them make friends with your anus
You dont need to entertain us
But its a test
And the rest of righting
Natures wronging
Restoring mans belonging
Will be blest
OZONAL NO
Corpses by the billions
Turn to dust without pollution
Our shit perchance
Helps plants to grow
But spray underarm deodorants
A no no no
THE FLAVOURS IN THE CARCINOGEN
Oatmeals really healthy
I eat it every day
With three eggs and bacon
Hash browns and Nescafe
For lunch I like sandwiches
Salami and Cheez Whiz
With a kosher pickle
Pickled in gin fizz
Steaks are really tasty
Provided that theyre rare
Blackened on the outside
To seal in hormones there
COOL MAN
Im an idiot
But no fool
Im a scholar
Down on school
Im sadistic
But not cruel
The laws an ass
Thats a rule
Do what you want
But keep it cool
Cool man cool
THE JOY OF PAIN
TheRapy Song
Your screams make my day
Fulfill my dreams
Or so it seems
What can I say?
Your pain is my gain
Again and again and again
And for me its just play
And helps keep me sane.
Oh I love to see you suffer
Ah the agony in your eyes
And when the pain is rougher
And you begin to writhe
My pleasures beyond measure
I just have to rhapsodize
Though your pleas are disconcerting
When I see how much youre hurting
Watching all your twitching
Im inflamed
And realize for certain
That splatter doesnt matter as youre maimed
For sure tortures
A lot more fun than the Marquis claimed
THINK KINK
From winks to Kink
Is my lifes tale
Kinks the way where shrinks fail methinks
Pathetic fate
No ejaculate or gall?
But wait
A date with Kink cures all
Blow up toys or little boys
Maybe submissive sheep
Whose bleeting noise and bestial joys
Help you get to sleep
You shouldnt balk at dirty talk
Or pulling out your dink
And obscene calls are better than no sex at all
Its Kink
Kiddieporn may raise a storm or stink
But why mourn a life forlorn
If it brings you to the brink
And though few may sink to something sillier
Whats really wrong with copraphillia I ask?
And while the rasher flashers task
Often brings a smile
Theres no question of molestion
With the wily necrophile
Or the insistent masochist
Whose painful trial of whip and chain
Leaves him more than pink again
Enjoy your tryst with Kink
INVERSE BESTIALITY
If you find you are blind and can lick the taboo
theres a trick you can do with your prick if
its thick a kind of a screw if your minds
truly sick and be one of the few to stick
in your dick and grind in the hind of a gnu
WARALITY
Peace erodes out moral fibre
This is a moral truth
Wars better our behaviour
By killing off our youth
ADVICE
If youre too old to be curious
And too young to be wise
You might as well work and pay taxes
And breed while youre at it
To maintain the supplies
Of assholes like yourself
People got so many rights these days
that nobodys got any freedom left.
