Stranded Abroad

Stranded thousands of miles away,

In-between airport and many hotels everyday,

Waiting on a travel documents to fly away,

And the bank ain't making it easy today;

The last few weeks are too good to be true,

Such a good learning experience, the hard way,

What I said about Alcatraz earlier was also true,

Walking with few mile long leash, around your neck all the way. 

Cheers!

Streetlife in San Francisco

Out here on the street, fretting about on my feet,

The night ain't too cold, and the city still awake;

Like a stranger, on the sidewalks of O'Ferrel street, 

Waiting for Starbucks to open, here I stand;

A guy comes up to me, looking for something to eat,

Offers me a diamond ring, which sure is a fake;

Asked me if I smoked weed, which I don't need,

I gave him spare change, of which all I had;

A dozen different guys, young, old, poor and in need,

Some of them for a fix, asking for something to take;

I better write a song, about this California street,

And sing it in the Union Square, after daybreak.

Cheers!

Room Change Please

When you wake up at 4 in the morning, 

And ask for a room change at the reception;

One might wonder if  I am sleepwalking,

Any type of smoking room, I mention
