Frankenfood Toxology

Gosh, all our foods have been deep fried
and gen-et-IC-'lly modified
and every thing we ever ate
had monosodium glutemate ...inside.
Our beef cows eat their own fe-CES (yuck!)
and give us all mad cow disease.
The milk we feed our kids, our own,
is laced with bovine growth hormone ...oh, no.
The corn and wheat we sorely need
cannot be grown from natural seed
because the land on which we toil
is blighted by depleted soil ...What next?
Those corp'rate jerks who profit so
from pois'ning us have got to go!
Our big priority should be
to feed us all sustainably ...right now.
So that is why we sing to thee
this FrankenFood toxology.
Let's organize and not retreat,
but first let's have a bite to eat ...Bon Appetit!

Daisy Cutter Blues

Well, grandpa was at Midway back in Fifty-four. He flew in Operation Ivy, playing nuclear war, but he got the blues. Those radium and cobalt blues. If you was in his shoes, you'd know those fighting sailor's red-white-and-blues.
And Uncle Dale was stationed south of Phnom Penh. They tramped him through the jungle, then they shipped him home again, but he got the blues. Those agent orange flashback blues. It's not something you'd choose, those buddies-in-a-body-bag blues.
And Momma went to Panama, and Dad was in Kuwait in Operation Desert Storm. His courage there was great, but he got the blues. Those top secret biotoxin blues. If you was in his shoes, you'd know those fighting soldier's red-white-and-blues.
(Bill Clinton on the saxophone, ladies and gentlemen. Aw yeah. That man played it so smooth, you can barely remember where the bombs were falling...)
Now, me, I spent my childhood in a video game. At Air Force pilot flying school, they said it'd be just the same, but now I got the blues. Those old civilian casualties blues. I got the Kandahar-Jalalabad, Daisy-Cutting, Red-White-and-Blues.

Paul Kotheimer Urbana, Illinois
For well over 30 years now, Paul Kotheimer has been writing songs. And then recording them. And then putting them together
into albums.
At first, way way back in the actual 1980s, he used a cassette player and a microphone from Radio Shack. Now he's the proprietor of Pillow Monster Home Studio, complete with lots of musical instruments and recording gear and one actual pillow monster. YAY MUSIC!
