Happy New Year

Wishing you a happy New Year, my friend
With many good things to come
New beginnings
And brand new goals
And maybe a bottle of rum

Wishing you a grand New Year, my friend
With happiness and joy for you
With hugs and smiles
And big snow piles
And skies so pretty and blue

Wishing you a wonderful year to come, my friend
With most old problems all gone
And brand new challenges
That brings smiles, not frowns
And all things right, not wrong

Wishing you brightness and joy, my friend
In this New Year that to come
With many new friends
On whom you can depend
And a happy celebration when it is done

Wishing you all of the best, my friend
For now and ever more
May life be good
As we think that it should
With many nice new things in store

A Long Night’s Talk

Tarry a little more, my friend
Tarry a little more

As we dance throughout the night
With words of such delight
To give one’s spirit flight
And make thing feel all right

Tarry a little more, my friend
Tarry a little more

As we talk from dusk to dawn
Hiding our sleep full yawn
Taking topics as they’re drawn
And yet they’re never gone

Tarry a little more, my friend
Tarry a little more

And so it seems to go
We’re talking to and fro
Learning things we didn’t know
Our smiles all aglow

Tarry a little more, my friend
Tarry a little more

But soon the sun will rise
And to stay longer is quite unwise
We rub out sleepy eyes
And say our night’s good byes

Thank you for tarrying with me, my friend
Thank you for tarrying with me

Greenies

The hide in the forest
And along lonesome trails
Their smiles are shark like
With long spikey tails

The fight all the time
Like bad little meanies
They claw and they scratch
These bad little greenies

Careful not to wonder
To far or alone
The greenies will get ya
When you go far from home

So travel in twos
Threes or in fours
And at night you better
Lock your doors

Or the greenies will get ya
As you lay wide awake
Hiding under covers
You shiver and quake

Because you never know when they are going to come to get ya!

You!

Impossible presumption
Inconceivable but true
Obtuse assumptions
And they’re all about you

How is this possible
How can it be
And fully applaudable
Well, let’s look and see

Kindness beyond giving
Loving beyond living
And always forgiving
It has to be you!

Labels: ,

Share Your Joy

Happiness and sunshine
Blue skies not rain
Make me feel so fine
And remove all my pain

This life is a joy
To enjoy and to share
So go, don’t be coy
And show that you care

Bring light and happiness
To all that you meet
Let no kind of nastiness
Bring you down to defeat

And in the end the world will show
A smile on every face
And no matter where you may go
You’ll be in a happier place

Will You Love Me

Will you love me in the morning
When the sun is getting high
Will you love me in the evening
When its darker in the sky

Will you love late at night
When you lay at home in bed
Will you love in the day time
When along the road you tread

Will you love me all the time
When I am not around
Will you love me when I’m with you
And I am not so sound

The Ideological Teacher

Questions rhetorical
And not quite historical
Filled the wayward speech

Too many things wrong
In the speech way too long
Of ideologies that he did preach

And when he was done
And the school bell rung
Were misinformed sculls full of mush

But no one would mention
For fear of detention
So the most you could hear was a hush

Labels: ,

Shotgun Wedding

A shotgun wedding
For a shotgun bride
The groom is here
He knows he can’t hide

For the girl he knew
A little too well
Will marry him now
Or he’ll be in a cell

For the place where he is
It’s best not to know
What pretty girls look like
Or it’s to hell you will go.

Labels: ,

Temptations

A delicious temptation
For every sensation
You seem to be for me

To eat you all up
A sweet loving cup
Is what you to want to be

Desire and passion
With love and compassion
We move two as one

In sweet sweaty motions
All covered in lotions
In ecstasy we finish and are done

Life is a Treasure

Life is a treasure
Do not forget
And love and friends are too

And whatever the measure
Do not fret
Put them first in whatever you do

And life will be a blessing
That keeps on giving
No matter what things you do

It will keep you guessing
On the joys of living
In those special moments for you

Waiting For You At The Park

I’m lost and confused
Why you left me so
All those long lost days ago

My life is defused
I have no more will
But I continue on even still

With you by my side
I could do any thing
You said the word
And treasures I would bring

With you as my hope
With you as my dream
Though vain and vanquished
It does now seem

Now you’re gone
And far away
And I don’t know what to do or say

I sit on the lawn
Of the park where we met
But you still haven’t come back yet

Labels: ,

Please Come Back

A lonely day
I miss you so much
But you’re not here

I want to say
Abracadabra
And you magically appear

I feel like a bloop
For all that I’ve done
I’ve gone and chased you away

We were part of a group
And now you are gone
I hope that you won’t stay that way

Please come back.

Sailor Moon

From the shimmering skies you come
You’re blond but not so dumb
Tuxedo mask at your side
You are Sailor Moon

With love you come to save the earth
Giving it all your worth
No evil anywhere can ever hide
You are Sailor Moon

And when the day is done
And you and friend have had your fun
You sit with your boy teary eyed
Because you are Sailor Moon

Labels: ,

Stay With Me

What happiness you bring
You make my soul sing
Your presence is all that I need

What a joy you are
Whether near or far
In all things important you exceed

Your smile, your hair
You are always so fair
Your beauty transcends all things

Your laugh, your smile
Your personal style
You lift me up like wings

Stay with me forever.

Dream Bringer

I’m the bringer of dreams
Or so it seems
Night time is where I live

To give you cheer
Remove your fear
Am so much more I wish to give

Dream away
And we can play
Anything you like

Explore and dance
Seek hot romance
Go to the mountains and hike

I’m the bringer of dreams
Or so it seems
And all I give is for you

To cheer up your nights
When you darken your light
And keep you from feeling blue

Sunshine

Your face is like sunshine
Your smile divine
Your eyes are so lovely
I’m glad that you’re mine

The day that we met
And first fell in love
And started our journey
We fit like a glove

I love you so much
And always will
My dear darling wife
My life you fill

Dungeon Explorers

Let me explore your dungeon
Darkened passages of mystery
Let’s explore your dungeon
As we once did as youth

So many places
Left to see
So many places
For you and me

Things to explore
Things to do
In a darkened passages
Just me and you

Let me explore your dungeon
Darkened passage of ecstasy
Let’s explore your dungeon
Where we can find the truth

Love Birds

Blue is the sky we fly through
Green are the leaves near our home
Red is the color our hearts beat
When together we fly and roam

Birds of a feather flock together
Or so the sages say
But paired we are near or far
With you my heart will stay

Flying through life
We bird who are paired
Loving together
Loneliness is spared

Though life is not perfect
We still share our fate
And live life together
Till out lives get late

And when we are old
And can barely give wing
We will sit on our perch
And of our love we will sing

Missing You

Do you miss me late at night
When the moon is shining down?
Do you miss me in the day
When you’re shopping in the town?

Do you miss me every hour
Every minute, every day
If you do then there’s only
One thing I need to say

I miss you too.

Mysterious Ways

Life is filled
With mysterious ways
As god willed
So we can sing his praise

We go about life
Learning and growing
Making mistakes
But hopefully showing

That better things
For us are in store
God’s destiny changes
So we’re not as before

And in time you will see
A piece of God’s plan
Made just for you
And you may understand

That the destiny chosen
For you is just so
And the mistakes you’ve made
Will help others grow

So take time in silence
To give God some praise
For his grace and his mercy
And his mysterious ways.

Angel on Earth

Bright as an angel
Filled with joy
Love and kindness
Did she employ

To help those in need
And ease their pain
Her love so great
She could not contain

And as her days passed
With the good she had done
God smiled down
And thought it was fun

To have one like her
Who blessed all she knew
And with each blessing given
Another one grew

Till all the land
Was filled over flowing
With blessing upon blessing
Only love was left showing

And when her day came
And He took her away
You can hear people speak
As they reverently say

She was truly a child of God

The Scarlet Queen

Blue was the color
Or her piercing gaze
Scarlet the color of her hair

Black was the color
Of her broken heart
Where no one would even dare

A shadow of lonely
Enveloped her form
For no one seemed to care

Till one day quite slowly
A friend she found
But life had taught her to beware

So slowly and surely
They both came to know
The other was meant for each

Accident, not purely
They fell quite in love
And in marriage they made that last reach

Labels: ,

Mira

Blue eyes
Brown hair
Pretty Mira
Was so fair

And all the boys
Around her sang
Of love for Mira
And their hears so rang

Filled with longing
For this girl
Like a diamond
Like a pearl

But pretty Mira
Knew them best
Gave them kisses
And let them rest

In dreaming land
Where each one had
A pretty Mira
And they were glad

Prodigal Girl

Prodigal girl
Your time is at hand
Coming back to me

Prodigal girl
Our lives are like sand
Washing out to sea

The day you left
You broke my heart
Leaving an empty space

My life was bereft
But now we’ll restart
I just need to see your face

If only you could
Start once again
And let your love show

Then all things are good
As we could have been
So many years ago

Warren the Wolf

Warren the wolf
Went out for a walk
To go see his friend
To have a nice talk

When along the way
He met a fine rat
Throwing a ball
And swinging a bat

He ask the good wolf
If he wanted to play
Warren could catch
So what could he say

So he joined the rat’s team
And they played ball till night
And winning the game
Made Warren feel right

And who in the stands
Was cheering him on
But Warrens best friend
The cat named Tom

Five Empty Glasses

The five glasses
By the fire place
Where we met last week

Wine stained glasses
Where I saw your face
But now the days are bleak

The house now sands quiet
Where is was once filled with joy
This house was such a riot
And I fell for your ploy

Five empty glasses
In a room still not clean
That magical place

Where you of the lasses
So beautiful you did seem
Your hair, your eyes, your face

But now you’re gone
And I don’t know to where
What when wrong
With our one day love affair

Crocodile Stew

They lived in the boondocks
Hunting down old crocks
To cook them up in some stew pots
And shipped it off in a food box

Merry Christmas
Its Crocodile Stew!

Teddy Bear Days

Wondering words of sanity
Falling all around
Like teddy bears a calling
Fun but not so sound

The tumble through the forest
Looking for honey to eat
Drumming among the flowers
And dancing to the beat

They somersault through the branches
Landing on mossy ground
And splash in summer springs
Laughing at the sound

Wondering words of sanity
Falling all around
Like teddy bears a calling
Fun but not so sound

Put it out!

Not you start a cough’n
Then put you in a coffin
Not a person laugh’n
Put it out!

Little Tiffy Tiburan

Little Tiffy Tiburan
Went looking for her man
Couldn’t find him any where
And looked for quite a span

She looked behind the old school room
And tried to locate there
She looked behind the dumpster bin
But a rat gave her a scare

Little Tiffy Tiburan
Went looking for her man
Couldn’t find him any where
And looked for quite a span

She looked behind old man bob
And tried to locate there
She looked inside a pickup truck
And even at the fair

Little Tiffy Tiburan
Went looking for her man
Couldn’t find him any where
And looked for quite a span

She looked all over then gave up
And went back to her house
And found him washing all her dishes
She was such a happy spouse!

Soul Flowers

Soul Flowers grow
Along the hillside
Down in the meadow
And behind trees they hide

Some are bright yellow
While others are blue
Red ones and pink ones
Will even ensue

Over the banks
Where the old river bends
Soul Flowers grow on
And never see ends

Mrs. Clause

Good Mr. Lion
Went to the park
To enjoy a sunny day’s stroll

And watched old Sir Bryan
Playing his harp
Next to a singing troll

She sang of her love
Who had gone far away
Off to a snowy land

Who flew high above
In a red and white sleigh
For presents were high in demand

She made cookies for him
Hot cocoa too
Helped with the elves and more

But now times were grim
And she was so blue
As she worked at the grocery store

But sang of her love
In that far away land
Where elves work and play

The one she thought of
Who stayed to command
While she worked so far away


She worked to make ends meet, of course. Apparently the recession hit Santa and family too.

War Room

Grey clouds roll in
And unbelievable gloom
Pressure mounds
As we sit in the room

Things expected
Never appear
But apprehension
Guilt and fear

Inconceivable wants
Impossible dreams
Fall apart
Or so it seems

Then out of the blue
A bright light shined
Possibilities found
Developed, refined

And a new day glows
With dawns morning light
Darkness flees
Dreams take flight

Have Hope

Have hope my son
For our days are short
And love eternal is at hand

Have hope my son
For in the court
God is the rule of the land

For when we suffer pain
It is not in vain
For a greater good will return

Time will ease
And in the end it will please
Each and every concern

So take some time
With the one you love
And know that he looks over you

In the end you’ll be fine
And be with your love
Because things that are precious are few

Friends By The Bog

Happy little Orthrus
Liked to swim in the bog
And eat cheese Doritos
And play with Mr. Frog

One day out
They were having lots of fun
When they came upon a spider
And the web she had spun

And all trap within
Were little buggy ends
That Mrs. Spider shared with Frog
And they soon became friends

And soon they were play
Chess while drinking tea
And three lived together
Just as happy as could be.

Ephemeral Clouds

Ephemeral clouds
Over misty bays
And old man sits
In wizened ways

Listening to the waves
The bird, the sea
What does he hear
What could it be

The sounds of nature
The sounds of life
In ephemeral clouds
His departed wife

Fly through your skies

Candyland

Chocolate times
With chocolate chime
Ringing through the misty air
Candied lanes
Are all that remains
Of Candyland’s past affair

Of the troll gobbler king
Who used to sing
Of his yummy candied treats
Then stomping around
On an old dish mound
When all that was offered was meats

Then in a great rage
He started that age
When candies could no longer be found
Except hidden away
And not just halfway
Some even buried in the ground

And now all that’s left
Is a Candyland bereft
Of all the joys of it treasured past
The old candy lanes
Are all that remains
For candy never will last

Moodah

The great Moodah says
The great Moodah speaks
And when around little children
He tweaks their cheeks

Kindness and joy
Are among his ways
And when he is done
He sits and plays

With the littlest of children
And the oldest of them too
The old Moodah likes to play
But really, who knew?

Friends

Friends are forever
Or so they say
On good days and bad
They always will stay

And tell you the things
That you need to hear
And warm your heart
For they are dear

But sometimes they seem
So far apart
Differences of opinion
Differences of heart

But in the end
You’ll know each one
For when you call them
They will come

And each will offer
What he may
A good friend forever
By your side will stay

Celestial Eggheads

Celestial eggheads
With their prudish ways
Only go out
To watch serious plays

No laughter or smiles
Giggles or joy
Not one bit of silliness
Would they dare employ

For theirs is a life
Of serious work
Not to be given
To emotion or quirk

I Love You

I love you when the sun comes up
I love you more each day
I love you when the stars come out
In each and every way

And when I go to sleep at night

And love you more in dreaming land
Even while I snore

And when I wake upon my bed
And see your smiling face
I know my heart is yours, my dear
Despite the time or place
