All Cheers My Dears

All Cheers My Dears
20 April 2012

Today I'm celebrating me.
In school I had low self-esteem.
I survived that vile misery.
In my career, the boss on my team
Only added to my tension.
Now I'm cheering for hanging in
And lasting to get a pension.
I'm acknowledging all that's been
Accomplished by honoring me.
Today I'm rejoicing at my wholest
With a self-image that really
Lets me enjoy life to its fullest.

Slinging Mud At A Blue Blood

Slinging Mud At A Blue Blood

Imagine this as a pub drinking song.

Beat the tambourine:
"God save the Queen!"
If you know what I mean.

I don't have a penny to own
So let's throw her a bone
As she sits on the throne.
This year's her Diamond Jubilee
So let's celebrate like she's family
And we all have the same pedigree.
Beat the tambourine:
"God save the Queen!"
If you know what I mean.

You know, she's barely begun.
After all, the Queen Mum
Lived to a hundred and one!
We can act like aristocrats
All dressed up in hats
Living like fat cats.
It's a chance to preen
And say what we mean
By "God save the queen."

Terse Verse

Terse Verse

How should I frame a thought
To make it sparkle and shine?
As a terse verse it ought
To turn out just fine,
Stated short and sublime
Rolling line by line
With rhythm and rhyme.

Iridescent Present

Iridescent Present

While washing pots and pans from my stew,
As the dishwater went down the drink,
Soap bubbles formed and sun refracting thru
Gave me double rainbows in my sink.

Thankful for the safe trip,
The catching up, gossip
And genial fellowship;
Grateful for what happened,
How the events opened
And for rest at the end;
I'll put today to bed,
Crawl under the spread
And lay down my head.

Dedicated to Engelbert Humperdink, Roger Whittaker and etc.

Listening to the songs without a toll
On the radio, the balladeer belts out
As his voice vibrates into my soul,
Thru closed eyes a tear melts out.

For a few precious minutes
Life slows to a pause
Then quickens when in struts
The singer who overawes.

The voice makes me feel deep down
Like I haven't in a long time.
It takes me back to my hometown
When all the songs had rhyme.

In my mind I'm young once more.
Listening to music from the past
With an orchestration score
Gives me feelings I want to last.

Early on at the start
With a twinkle in his eye
He up and stole my heart
And I let that slide by.
Now he's gotten bolder
And takes my cell phone
From its magnetic holder
Carried near my hip bone.
I've learned from past experience
So now my phone isn't trespassed.
It's turned off at my convenience
And any charges are bypassed.

There's a smile on my face

And joy fills my heart

Because an event took place,

A new life got it's start.

Lorielle was born this afternoon,

A healthy baby girl at full-term.

For her mother it wasn't too soon.

Of that she was loud and firm.

She was tired of being with child. 

Not that the baby was unplanned,

It's just the discomforts piled

Up and inconveniences got out of hand.

Now she can relax and ensure

Her new baby's care and keeping

While dreaming about its future

And drift off to sleeping.
