"The Hell Ya' Say"

by

Doug Donnan


Ya'll sure are frettin' them dreaded fires o' hell,
Ya'll know ol' Hob's down there... only too well.

Ya'll are thinkin' he's a waitin' fer' you by n' by,
Ya'll wanna' avoid him?... here's sumthin' to try.

Ya'll need to take Jesus Christ in heart n' soul,
Ya'll do so this instant... jist' make it yer' goal.

Ya'll had better trust me on this n' do not delay,
Cuz' ifn' ya' do ya' might have... all hell to pay!


___ Praise Jesus! ___

"The Hangman"

by

Doug Donnan


He stirs you at sunrise no compassion has he,
opens the cell door... he ain't settin' you free.

He walks you out of that ol' jailhouse by n' by,
up them ol' gallows steps... it's yer time to die.

He pulls a black hood way down over yer head,
a dark message... you'll be hangin' there dead.

He pulls back the lever to release the trap door,
gravity comes by... n' you fall through the floor.

He slowly steps over to inspect how he's done,
then looks into the crowd... then up at the sun.

He's the hangman no one knows his real name,
but he draws a large crowd n' a chokin' noose...

These his only two 'undisputed' claims to fame.

The Kiss of Death by Doug Donnan

Doug Donnan
C&CG Staff Reviewer
Executive Editor/Good Times News Weekly

(Poetry)


*In loving memory of all those who lost their lives
in the horrid Nazi death camps so many years ago.



"The Kiss of Death"


by


Doug Donnan



So listen to what I whisper to you  my son, lay down and kiss the ground,
because when the deadly gas begins to spew out it will not make a sound.

These rooms are not designed to cleanse us that I have heard others tell,
they have been built to exterminate us all by these creatures born in hell.

We are all now surrounded by evil in this fiendish camp of death and woe,
so when I do push you down so callously on your belly you must surely go.

I cannot tell you that we will survive the suffering or ever see another day,
so do kiss me and embrace me tight and God please help us I do thee pray.

"Dining with Divinity"


by


Doug Donnan


Jesus blessed both bread and wine,
then the twelve commenced to dine.

It wasn't so much but as things went,
the precious gifts were Heaven sent.

"This is my body and blood," said he,
"when you take them be part of me."

They ate the bread and quaft the wine,
it was indeed the last supper so divine.


___ Amen ___

"The Cornucopia"


by


Doug Donnan


The entire fruits of your labor spill out before you,
a true golden horn of plenty lies there at your feet.

You appraise the collection with ardent adulation,
and very soon jubilate in its abundance so replete.

However, with keen scrutiny you espy bruises and,
in reality the entire cornucopia is laced with deceit.

Perhaps, you are just a fool playing a fool's game,
the lush and tender morsels are just not so sweet.
