the madgawd's cookedbook Pg 12

there was a madgawd who dreamt of wars 
the bots battles had many encores 
they made their claws and  fangs 
to arm their waring gangs 
fighting for the idol they adores

there was a madgawd at his wits end 
his bots viruses he couldn't mend 
the bots had religions 
spread by stool pigeons
released by a madgawds virtual friend

the madgawd's cookedbook Pg 10

there was a bot in the machine's pipes
with the madgawd he had a few gripes
as he wandered the maze 
he lost count of the days 
that to the bot all looked like autotypes

the madgawd's cookedbook Pg 9

there was a madgawd who wrecked his stage 
when he let his bots loose for an age
they created their own code 
networking by a node 
causing the madgawd to vent his rage

track 2

there was a raindog sipping his tea
while he studied a skellington key 
soon he'd find the box 
and leave the paradox 
once he escapes his maze of debris

raindog meaning -refers to a habit dogs have of getting lost when heavy rains wash away the dog's markers they have left to guide them home.

author's notes- tom waits in his brilliant song"raindogs" used the word as a metaphor for  human beings who are lost, in pain with no sense of direction and who don't have a social or physical place to belong. 
as in all my lymberbrick poems and quite a lot of my other poems my characters are metaphors. I love Tom Waits' use of the raindog metaphor so it pops up in my own poems now and then.

the madgawd's cookedbook Pg 8

there was a bot tinkering with time 
he built a temple on a lost dime
here the gawds hacked the meek
to give the bots their clique
then the gangs went forth to spread their grime

there was a madgawd who had a pet 
a maddawg according to the vet 
they took  walks in a park
cruised the brine on a ark  
while dreaming up the wars they'd beget

the madgawd's cookedbook Pg 5

there was a madgawd whose dawg got loose
he went and stole the slippers of zeus 
in time they would be worn 
by the first bot reborn 
when the madgawd dreamed they'd reproduce

track 1

there was a raindog at a crossroad
asking the way from a two horned toad 
a vulture fried an egg 
while he stood on one leg
waiting to see which way dinner rode

there was a madgawd who saw lost ghost 
he made bots to be their caged cores host 
he put them on his stage 
to praise him for their wage  
instead they used his stage to self boast
