"Griftin'" (to the tune of Clarence Carter's "Strokin'")

When he’s not grabbing butts

And mute, judging stuff

He be griftin’

Morning, noon, insurrection

He be griftin’

 

He grifts from the living

And then he grifts from the dead

He’ll grift from anyone on this planet or the next

He be griftin’

 

He’s ‘bout to sell somethin’

How much money are you willing to give him?

Would you buy a quarter for a quarter-mill?

Would you give up your farm for a lifetime of Swiss cheese?

He’s ‘bout to sell you this

“Trade your cows for a gallon of milk”

He’s ‘bout to sell you this

“Give me 15 million and I’ll stop windmill cancer”

He ‘members when his mistress was diagnosed with windmill cancer

He started a GoFundMe; laughed; and said, “April Fool’s, y’all”

He’s griftin’, yeah, he always does, he be griftin’

 

He grifts from the living

And then he grifts from the dead

He’ll grift from anyone on this planet or the next

He be griftin’

 

He’s ‘bout to sell somethin’

Would you believe anything he tells ya?

That a knife was a sandwich?

Jesus was a white man?

A robe was a puppy?

Or how about that he and his wife are all cute and innocent?

‘Member, no puppy is full of that much sh*t

He spews it every which way

Yeah, he’s griftin’

He be griftin’

 

He grifts from the living

And then he grifts from the dead

He’ll grift from anyone on this planet or the next, sh*t

He be griftin’

 

Now, when this guy starts dealin’, I mean stealin’

He doesn’t care who in the hell he’s hurtin’

Because a creepy smile appears when this happens

Whenever that creepy smile appears, we do start dealin’

We say, “Clarence Thomas, Clarence Thomas, Clarence Thomas

Clarence Thomas, f*ck you, Clarence Thomas”

Other day: “Celebratin’ Christmas early!”

“Gonna get me a grift box and grift certificate”

Went to the store to screw people over

He held a box with a blank certificate

Said, “Hundredth donor gets the prize; you’ll be surprised as…” Woo!

 

He be griftin’… Cloak and dagger

He be griftin’

 

He grifts from the living

And then he grifts from the dead

He’ll grift from anyone on this planet or the next, sh*t

He be griftin’

He be griftin’… Cloak and dagger

He be griftin’, oath

He be griftin’

 

And he grifts from the rich

And he grifts from the poor

He grifts from everyone

He even grifts from his whores, ooh

 

He be griftin’

He be griftin’

He be griftin’

Another look at "The Nightly Show" with Larry Wilmore

After its first week, I gave The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore a B+ grade. While I didn't think the show appeared to be perfect by any stretch of the imagination, I also liked the Daily Show  meets Politically Incorrect vibe I got from it, and thought, with the proper adjustments, the show would indeed provide a great fill-in for The Colbert Report . In the show's succeeding weeks, however, I've been less impressed by it and think that if it doesn't make certain adjustments, it could be in jeopardy of losing many long-time viewers of the show's time slot. One major issue I think the show's had to this point is a lack of direction. It's been unable to decide whether it wants to be a comedy show with serious conversation sprinkled in or a serious show with comedy sprinkled in. It's almost as if the show's writers want to give The Nightly Show a Real Time with Bill Maher feel. The problem with that idea or format is the fact Real Time is an hour lon...

My first book review of "Penetrating the Heart of Life: Ambiguous In Thought, Ambivalent In Feeling"

Well, I received my first book review on this poetry-compilation book I completed and published late last year, but have finally gotten around to marketing now. The reviewer gave it 5 out of 5 stars and said: "I enjoyed the poetic journey the writer has taken me on. From darkest days and hopeful optimism to the conclusion of hope realized. The visual images that the poem titled "Room Temperature" elicits, made me think of the song, "Horse With No Name" sung by the band America. In a similar manner, another poem – "Deafening Sigh-lence" reminded me a great deal of Simon & Garfunkel’s song, "The Sound of Silence". There are so many poems in this book that I related to, that I felt a connection to the author and felt that we were traveling on this journey together." http://www.lulu.com/shop/craig-rozniecki/penetrating-the-heart-of-life-ambiguous-in-thought-ambivalent-in-feeling/paperback/product-18677501.html

A closer look at the Scramble With Friends power-ups

I am unashamed to admit that I'm a nerd. My idea of a good time is playing a word game like Boggle or Scrabble. Thankfully, I (and many others) can play such games via Facebook and/or my (our) cell phone(s). While it seems that cheating has become more commonplace in these games (Words With Friends in particular) than San Diego has had nice weather, I've yet to give in to that craze. One element present with the game Scramble With Friends (Boggle) not present in Words With Friends (Scrabble) are legal boosts called "power-ups," which cost a number of tokens from the 15 available. I've now tried all five power-ups, including the latest one which costs money. So, in case anyone's curious about playing the game or giving these power-ups a gander, here's a rundown of them all: Freeze - I think this is probably my favorite of all the power-ups. With the freeze, time stands still for a matter of seconds, which allows you more time to find words and improve...
