David Semenske Biography

AS a kid I enjoyed singing and making up different words to popular songs. I also developed a keen interest in history of all kinds especially the obscure events like the pig war, whose only casualty was a pig. It led to the US Canada border we have today, first invasion of Korea in 1871 by the US, and the war of intervention in which the US and other allied nations sent a force inside Russia during the Russian civil war. I served in the United States Navy from 1977 to 1981 being deployed to the Middle east and Indian Ocean most of the time. While there we watched the Ethiopian Somalian war and evacuated non essential foreign personnel from Iran during the Islamic revolution. After my discharge I was News Director for small radio station in Northwest Florida for several years and decided it was not for me but still enjoyed my history and writing. I have recently been active doing short videos for youtube as a hobby and have my own channel. On it is a variety of videos from me singing to reciting poetry and documentary shorts, some not so serious, dealing in history. Things like Joshua A Norton the Emperor of the United States and Pierre Landais the original Commander Queeg of Caine Mutiny fame. As you will see from videos or hear I have been working on my sound quality which has come a long way from my first video.)

The Best Poem Of David Semenske

Identity Crisis

I'm dazed and confused
I'm tired of being used
It is not me that you see
It is just your fantasy
It's an identity crisis
An identity crisis

Work all day for my pay
doing it the bosses way
At night I'm a fright
Wondering if all is right
It's an identity crisis
an identity crisis

Weekends here need a beer
Gotta get out of here
On the road one my hog
Acting like a dog
It's and identity crisis
An Identity crisis

All weekend long having fun
Riding in the sun
Seeing sights that I like
While sitting on my bike
It's and Identity crisis
An identity crisis

Sunday night come
The fun is done
Sleeping in my home
Feeling like a drone
It's an Identity crisis
An identity crisis
