by Marc Gunn, December 3, 2004 A parody of the Irish folk song, “Gypsy Rover” for my upcoming Irish Drinking Songs for Cat Lovers CD. It was inspired in part by Johnny Cash’s song, “A Boy Named Sue” and tells the story of a female cat who runs off with a tough cat named Rover. […]

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, […]
Middle Earth Quivers
by Marc Gunn, November 4, 2004 Inspired in part by the Lord of the Rings, this poem is a vision of hope for all who feel oppressed by forces they cannot control. There is always hope. The sun is still unseen, Yet at hand, A warm mist still hovers over the land, While all of […]
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 […]

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 […]
Outside My Window (the Zombie Tango)
by Marc Gunn, September 15, 2004 I started this song with a melody that was sorta 50s-ish with one of those ancient themes of man coming to meet his lover in the middle of the night to sweep her away. Then, I thought it be much more entertaining if that lover was a zombie! Course, […]
The Neverending Drama of Psy-Chronic Sinusitis
by Marc Gunn, 9/22/2004 I went back to the doctor today for the next round of prescription meds to help me overcome the residual cough left over from my infection a couple weeks ago. The mind is spinning around like a whirling dervish. Racing. It’s spastic. Thanks Monsieur Prednisone And the neverending drama of psy-chronic […]
Musical Ignorance
by Marc Gunn, Sept 12, 2004 I was contacted by a musician recently who’s narrow-minded opinions sparked this. Musical ignorance You’re afraid to listen, learn, and enjoy something new. You judge music instead of learning from it. You profess your musical superiority While children play crop circles around your arrogance. Your creativity extends to the […]
