Molly Malone (Lyrics, cat song parody)
by Emilee Rush, December 4, 2004 The great Irish ghost story is reborn as we hear about how Ms. Malone was also very kind to the cats of Dublin. It was written for my Irish Drinking Songs for Cat Lovers CD. In Dublin’s fair city, when I was a kitty, I first cast my gaze […]
Ever Hopeful, More Often Hurting
by Marc Gunn, October 25, 2004 A few weeks back, I had an interesting look at love and the reasons behind some of my past relationships. Ever hopeful, More often hurting. As a child I gave friendship and love with fervor; Only to see it closed behind a cold door. My fraternal love was scoffed, […]
Cat Mystery of the Opposable Thumb
I picked up the scooper and emptied the litterbox into the trash can. It was now clean for use. I then placed the trash can back under the sink, making sure the baby locks would keep out my little tykes. All was good. Then I saw him. Once again, Torre, my grey tabby cat, seemed […]
Happily Ever After Free Music Download
The search for great free music downloads continues. Well, this week I released another free mp3 from the Brobdingnagian Bards next CD, “Brobdingnagian Fairy Tales.

The Mouse & The Kiss
by Marc Gunn, October 15, 2004 I’ve been in a romantic poetry writing mood of recent. I wrote this late after performing at the Texas Renaissance Festival. She glided beneath the stars Silent and serene Like a ghost across the Field of wheat. It glowed a dark yellow, Her skin a pale white. She smiled […]
Continue The Quest
by Marc Gunn, October 15, 2004 I’ve been dreaming of elves of recent. They inspired this poem of elves and forests among the hills. I saw a nymph on a hillside Standing in a field of red poppy. Her fair skin glowed bright in the sunlight. She turned, and I caught her eye. She gazed […]
Open Hearts & Open Communities
This weekend, I realized something about myself that’s taken me years to understand. It started Saturday evening. Andrew and I stay at a friend’s house in Tomball. When faire is over, we can either head back to Tomball immediately or stick around, visit with friends, go to parties or whatnot. For me, that’s what it’s […]
Take the Punches
by Marc Gunn, August 2003 Once again, I find myself fighting with my co-dependent behavior to avoid losing the characteristics that make me, me. It’s so easy to submit myself to submission. It’s so easy to surrender to a smile. It’s so easy to lose myself completely And to listen to the lies that create […]
