As told by Jake Johnstone …

” Scorpion Crawling Mirage “

Rhyming … Poem-Like …

Alan Jones Stingsmulch is my name. Coming from a rainy day where I’ve been holding in urine for approximately 30mins or so while my wife is in a doctor’s appointment for her hurt back. The other day we did things only roofers are supposed to do. One at a time trying to fix shingles. Trying to save money, but now it’ll have to be spent nonetheless … the proof is here in this pudding clear!! Clear of stings from a scorpion since ’04 ‘. Now 2024 and all I see sometimes are PTSD mirages like I’m in a stupor. Details wrought. Bought naught, yet this is no Christmas! Actually, it’s August, and I did just celebrate my 46th birthday the other day. Hungry so … I’ll pause while I take care of the cats in my stomach … ”

Something vile was took. It was actually a book, but it’s all in a mind. The more info this brain gets, the bigger the skull glows. Grey I see, but no one would believe me. A workforce is to be assembled for construction to observe this world. Something of a mothership with little spaceships to exit at its’ choosing … to view us, humans. My best friend Jordan’s good friend was a shared phenomenal ally to few. Golden views on treating people, but peculiarly special. My friends and I never judged … Only recall a banana scorpion in my rearview nightly nightmarishly … lately. Unfortunately, my good friend Fiore is gone, and … so are the times. Lately, destruction is all I see. The problem is it’s just at night. … ”

[ Alan Jones Stingsmulch ( or A.J.S. his friends call him ) then starts rhyming in song-form something ‘FIVE OVER FIORE’ would always sing when a tailgater was too close … ]

” Oh, FIVE OVER what I go by! Could care less about a tail-by as long as it’s with me! I have it in me but a mirage nevertheless truly… (truthfully) to a human!!! … Banana Scorpion, but I can’t unleash one!!! (Repeated 3X) ” …

Peace,
