Perfect Sleeping Weather (the book) (signed)
Price includes shipping to anywhere in the US.

Scrawled into notebooks from the familiar comforts of temporary homes and the passenger seats of mechanically unsound vehicles adrift on the highways and back roads of America, Perfect Sleeping Weather is fifteen years of thoughts, observations, facts, and fictions hammered into a collection of poetry that, according to one reader, "sounds like a sigh."

In this, his first book, writer/drummer/comedian Larry Fulford reflects on the usual -- life, death, love and leaving -- while still managing to name-check Van Halen. Twice.

lyrics

I feel the urge to downsize
throw everything I don’t need away
everything I’ll never read away
or take it down to the Salvation Army
and let them feel it up and sell it
or gun it down and bury it.

A smaller home means fewer things.
A well-lit room blinds the boogeyman better
and keeps him under the bed where he belongs.

So long as he’s keeping the moths out of my clothes
and the dust off my Bible
he’s keeping himself busy
which keeps him happy
which keeps me happy.

Good neighbors throw smiles down their driveways.
I’ve never been so surrounded.
Might be nice in that new-to-me kind of way.

One thing though,
gotta keep all the locks on
make sure the security bulbs work
let a couple snakes make homes in your roses.
