2012 New Years Resolution
More of everything...Less of everything else!
Inside each one of my creations, lives an entire lifetime of things to do!
It's all about the things I didn't do, that I want to do!
If they hear it they feel it, if they feel it they need it,
if they need it they want it.
More of everything...Less of everything else.
Inch by inch this will be a sinch.
There's a little bit of Heaven in every drop of rain.
Just a little bit of love in the times your feelin' pain.
If you feel your being covered and can't see the light of day,
let my poems sprinkle cheer on you, and you will see the way!
There's a little bit of Heaven in every ounce of pain.
Just a little bit of Heaven in the love that will remain.
It will pour out of your cloudy heart and drench the life you live
because...
getting is quite wonderful, but it's more wonderful to give!
Drip one drop at a time and hear rhyme after a rhyme
no pain will remain...
this time!

THE GROWING BOOKS Vol. 1
My name is Papa Michael I wrote these words down just in time.
If I didn’t do it now, someone else would make them rhyme.
I have some little poems, I would like to share with you.
Just sit back and relax, let your imagination guide you thru.
I thank you for your ears, both the outer and the inner,
because words are thoughts written down on paper for you from me the Grinner!
I wonder what it’s like to beeeeee something other than meeeee?
I Think I’d Like To Be a Bee
My name is ?, I think I’d like to be a bee
just to see what he could see.
Buzzing in and out of flowers
for seconds… minutes… even Hours…
What is he really trying to do?
Is he running from? Or chasing to?
Did he even find it yet?
Or perhaps…did he forget?
If I could become a bee,
then I’d know what’s inside of me.
These are things I’d like to know,
and when I do, it’s you I’ll show.
This busy bee made a decision,
it seems to me he’s on a mission!
So now I’ll follow him around,
in my gardens all over the ground.
Mr. Bee, he makes a long trip,
not a flower did he skip.
From flower top to flower top,
racing, dancing and then a hop.
If I could become a bee,
I would help you clearly see,
all the reasons that I buzz so free,
around the flowers and thru the trees.
Then I’d know what’s on my mind
and then and only then I’d find
a way to tell you that I’m kind
and that I’m busy gathering up
the food I need to fill my cup,
to build my hive…to stay alive
to store the treat you like to eat!
Now you all can clearly see,
why I’d like to be a bee.
I work my hardest to do my best!
So all the rest can taste the best
The bees think it’s funny that we call that golden, sticky, sweet stuff… Honey!
Oh my friend good news for you!
This can not, shall not, will not be the end.
Turn the page to read some more,
A dancing hand I’ll lend.
Dancing with Mr.Brussel Sprout
Dancing with Mr.Brussel Sprout, what more fun can this ever be!?
This time I'll take the lead no doubt, Mr. Brussel and Mrs. Me
He'll spin me around I'll do the same! I'll curtsey first, and then he'll bow.
Now you might think it's just a game, watch closely we'll show you how!
We’ll do a Cha Cha or a Tango, Merengue or some swing.
Viennese waltz, the Chicken Dance almost anything.
Mr. Brussel what’s your first name? Why it’s Russell, and what is yours?
Pleased to meet you Russell Brussel, let’s keep dancing on those floors!
They’ll all be watching and then joining in,
Peas in a pod, the carrot man. and Sir Scallion
Mr. Broccoli, Miss Mushroom, and Fred Radish as well
Believe it or not! None of us fell!
We’ll dance for hours, hours and hours,
the fun we had was ours, ours and ours.
The time was as good as good can be.
Mr. Brussel, his friends and Mrs. Me.
Oh my friend good news for you! dancing was our thing!
Turn the page and you will find a chance to do the swing!
Could you swing on this blue thing?
The Blue Swing!
My name is ? and oh how I love to be swung in that swing,
that blue little new little shiny thing.
While swinging along I sing a song, I close my eyes the journey’s sooooo long.
To feel the path from end to end, as if I were hanging with my best friend.
Tic toc just like a clock, I’m swinging Back and Forth,
Up Up and away I go from the South to the north.
The breeze flows and moves my hair
it tickles my neck as I glide thru the air.
My hands and feet are all flying free,
all 4 of them are a part of me.
Little gets big and big gets little,
except when I am right in the Middle
Without a thought, without a care
this is here and that was there.
Close to the ground, far from the sky, swinging and soaring as if to fly.
Push me as high as a roller coaster, close to heaven, I’m in a holster.
The blue above and the green below, it’s life and living that I truly love.
Thru the clouds and back again days like these will never end.
I fly thru the air with the greatest of ease begging to papa, Oh won’t you please
just one more time! push me a little higher! I’m your 26 pound blue swing flier.
Oh how I love to be swung in that swing,
that blue little new little shiny thing!
Oh my friend good news for you! Swinging was totally free,
Turn the page and you will find A big beautiful tree
I wonder how I got so big? I'm bigger than a twig
I wonder how I got my name? Yours and mine are not the same
Mootsy the Rootsy
Mootsy is a root from an old oak tree,
this for sure you can most definitely see.
Every minute, hour, day, week and month of the year 200 to be exact!
Mootsy loves it! And that’s a long time to be here.
Mootsy has been growing in this exact same… spot.
After all these many years, he’s been seen and seen a lot!
The weather, when it’s COLD or whether it is HOT
It really doesn’t matter now, just imagine if he did not!
At first he was the first root, so at first he was very small
He never traveled or lived anywhere else anywhere else at all!
As the years would grow by and grow by without a fall
Mootsy found the tree above him had grown to be quite tall
Now just because Mootsy lives deep below the ground,
it doesn’t mean he doesn’t know what’s happening all around.
Above and below, he has so many stories to tell.
You see above the ground, Mootsy’s eyes, ears, nose and arms are all doing quite well.
Mootsy knew he was doing a good job, because of the rewards of his work.
Wendel the worm was very happy just to crawl around in Mootsy’s dirt.
The leaves were green and waved to the world, Singing
“We are beautiful flags so glad to be unfurled”.
The branches like arms would grab the sky, embracing the air
clouds and birds that flew by.
Mootsy the rootsy would never say goodbye!

Curlers In My Hair
For the very first time I’ve got curlers in my hair!
They really look goofy, grandma put them everywhere.
Do they stay or do I take them out, I feel like I should really shout!
I’ve been told that when it’s all complete, I’ll feel like dancing on my feet!
Will my hair flow like a waterfall, or will it bounce like a rubber ball?
Will my hair spring like a springing spring, or will it swing like a swinging swing?
Should I wear my very best dress and put on my dancing shoes?
I’ve been told if I do all these things, I won’t be singing the Blues!
So I decided I’d listen and do what Grams suggested.
But first I took a little nap, so I could be well rested.
I’m glad I did cause when I awoke, I had nothing to worry about
My hair was beautiful beyond my dreams with Joy I sure did SHOUT!
Give me my best dress and my dancing shoes! I did it all and now I’m shouting,
this is a fantastic new hairdo!

Dancing In The Park
I’m Dancing in the park, with my horn up in the air,
4 kids are playing ‘round me as if I wasn’t there.
They’re doing the Hula-hoop, they don’t want to let it fall,
this kind of day and weather is to be enjoyed by one and all.
If your looking and not doing what your spirit says to you,
then it’s time to shake it out and find your own boo-ga-loo.
Mine is playing horn and dancin’ in the park,
This is something I could do, till way after dark!
With my horn up in the air I’ll be dancing in the park
The kids you see are very happy, Hoopy happy as a lark.
We are all a very joyful group, doin’our own thing.
I hoop you’ll do it too in summer, fall or spring.
Darn! Darn! Darn! Darn!
Darn! Darn! Darn! Darn!
That's the way it sometimes goes.
Yee Ha! Yee Ha! Yee Ha! Yee Ha!
Is the other way it goes we knows!
December Love
I met you when my life was low
you were to me a star in a summer snow.
We sat and talked about foolish things
while deep inside we knew it wouldn't last.
Time and time again this happens to me,
I meet a girl that is not
right for me,
real for me,
woman for me,
true love for me.
She told me things that I took with me,
I gave her spring, from there she raised her mast,
we set to sail our separate ways
the wind did fill our sails that day.
So off I go remembering when
I had a chance to have December love again.
Deer oh Deer
Deer oh Deer what have you to fear?
A man in the woods drinking beer?
It’s good that men don’t really drink here
‘cause if they did, they’d get shot in the rear!
Dinner Guests
Welcome to our dinner guests,
the two of you I see,
I hope you haven’t joined us,
just because the food is free.
We’ll chat and laugh,
we’ll show you ‘round,
outside, inside, up and down.
While at the table in our chair,
a joke or two I’m sure we’ll share.
I’ll laugh at yours, you’ll laugh at mine,
while savoring this free food Ah so divine.
Cut it, fork it, spoon it up, chew and taste the taste,
Lori is the one Jazz Chef, don’t let anything go to waist.
The flavor of the food is Lori’s, the love is freely given,
The only thing that could be better, is life in Gods great Heaven!
Now when you leave from here today, it’s appropriate to say.
The time we spent was oh well worth it, and next come our way!
Doin’
I’m doin’ this now to get it out of the way ‘cause there’s way too much to say!
The rest of this one is for you to write in your own little special way!
Drakespeare
I've been dubbed ye old Drakespeare,
For Lumspeare it’s really quite clear.
T'is quite appropriate, for the Pirates we are
of words and illos that have brought us thus far,
to add length to our simple namous,
'cause in our minds we are quite famous!
Druthers
I'm sure I do they’re in a box mixed with many others,
I'll report, what you report unless you have some druthers!

Editor
You're a wonderful editor, I'll never forget her a pretender your certainly not.
It's the fixes done later, that makes me rate her the most valuable person I've got!
The Effort
The effort........... Financially and emotionally exhausting.
The rewards.......Emotionally and intellectually exhilarating.
The results........I wouldn't change a thing.
Ego
Ego is the result of the perception and deception of talent and good quality hard work!
In your case, no perception, no deception, all reality! No ego! No Jerk!

First Date
The date that was the first.
Was I early, on time or late? for that date?
the date we know was our first.
Could this be my life long mate?
Or will it be the worst?
The kind that will make you want
to close that potential social gate,
and just forget about the first?
Or could it make you thirst
for just another one,
just perhaps to see,
if in fact the spirits did send to us,
each other for you and me!
My First Day at School / Ferris

It’s my first day at school,
I didn’t know what to expect.
My book bag is so big

The smiling car picture

My lunch box is full of power to eat,
No wheels for this kid…
Just my busy feet!

Gale Force Cruise
2009
Michael this is rhyme time:
The 2nd annual "Gale Force'? Please talk to me!
Last year the trip was really great! And still totally Free?
I won't charge you if you won't charge me for haven' a great time,
the only thing we require of you is to bring one hell of a good rhyme!
Michael:
So when do we cruise?
Who pays the dues?
Who's blowin' the wind in the sails?
I'm more than willing to blow my horn
for the girls but not the males!
Tom:
When do we Cruise?
It's not for me to Choose.
Kerry is to make the call,
But alas, she's dropped the Ball!
Michael:
I'm ready willing and oh so able
to be part of this fine cruise...
If a call is all that is really needed
I'll yell from my kitchen table! or
I'm ready willing and oh so able to be part of this fine cruise...
If a call is all that is really needed I'm willing to pay my dues
John:
Well, well, at last we've a date
A crew of six, each of us and a mate
Let's all hope the weather is fine
And now, Captain Tom, just tell us what time
And, again, I assume we bring lots to eat
I remember last time that was such a treat
We'll all arrive with a smile on our face
Are we departing this time from the same place?
Michael: Deck Hand Drake AKA "Pickles"
J tanner, what manners, a demeanor, of sorts. T Gale, won't fail,
which port? which pail? (Ship)
The food, the ladys, the floating, no bloating,
the time, is all, I need, hey Dude,
John:
I've tried, my friends, to resist the lure of responding in both rhyme and verse
But now I shall, though I assure, to mold it's form concise and terse
I've consulted our calendar, now and distant, and do attest that this is true:
Any weekend day is fine with us as long as it works for you.
Michael:
Yo dudes and dudettes 8/23 lest I forgets, is good to cruise...and peruse.
The only time constraints, if there are no complaints is no sooner than a nooner
please don't refuse!
Michael:
Things have changed, they've been re-arranged for better or for worse.
No time constraints alas no complaints, oh how I love writing verse!
Tom:
I feel like I’m reading Shakespeare.
Michael: AKA Drakespeare
Did Shakespeare ever sail? I must admit, I'm not in the loop.
But if he was I'm sure he would exponentially expound about some kind of multi-beaned,
seasoned to perfection, stick to your ribs SOUP!
Profound I'm not, I found I'm not a Pro but what the Hell anyways
I'm all ready to go!
Kerry:
Me too! Looking forward to this next adventure!
Tom:
Drakespeare!?!!! I love it!
Saturday August 23rd at 1pm it is. Same pier, same dock as last year.
Michael:
We'll see you all then,
at the known where and when,
sporting my balancing shoes-ers.
My feet will be hands hanging on to the deck,
sharing drinks and good times with yous-ers!
The boom of a boom on the back of a back
will certainly not be part of the party,
But if, by chance it happens to happen...
Feel free to call us all Boozers!
So here we are on # 2 with 4 instead of 6!
As long as we can go #1 we’ll still enjoy the mix!
Well what do you know we’re now a crew and captain of lucky seven!
With warm weather like this one could never go amiss!
Thank goodness I didn’t have to take a piss
Cruise 2009 was simply divine Relaxation great food from the chef!
The wine to drink and the incredible sunshine to enjoy
I would have preferred a personal presentation
of the repetition and re-iteration
of all of our communication
But WHAT THE F**K!
Geezer
I'm a geezer and I didn't think of that.
Thanks to you that you did , I'll tip my hat!
Get Me Started
Get me started and I'll leave the beginning out of sight!
I’m beginning to see the starting point it’s just to my right!
Get Sappy - For You and Bias
One could get sappy with as happy as we are,
With our mom, grams and great grams still wishing on a star.
6 kids, cats, grand kids, new home and new life,
MOM, if you were a man you’d be looking for a wife.
You enjoy all your projects, oh what the hecky.
Your family is still growing,
thanks to Adam and Becky.
So eat, drink, dance and party, it’s what your due!
The love we give today, is entirely for you.
Get squirrely
The night is great, the night is early!
I love it best, when the girls get squirrely
Go For A Ride
Go for a ride
dDon’t let it hide
let the outside come inside!
Grand Canyon
When do you go to the Canyon so Grand?
When do you leave for that incredible land?
The place where there is endless space,
the place, if one could read your face,
would be full of wonder and thoughts of thoughts of grace and those
who thought the same as you.
Things and times that are here, were once new.
Very old for life and more than one could view
in a lifetime spent looking and feeling it with the likes of you.
and by so many, not just in one place to see the incredible hue.
Gratitude
Joanne and Bob our gratitude
From Lady Lori and Michael the dude
The time with “yall was one hell of a ball
I hope that we weren't too crude
Great Vacation
For a truly great vacation,
let’s tour our own great nation.
this brave land and homes of the free
It truly is a great vacation,
to drive all over this wonderful nation
This land and home of the free
To feel and see the ground move under me
I left in ecstatic elation
Leaves me in complete elation
Greaty Lady!
You’re not a Shady little lady, but a Greaty little lady
and a Lotta inspiration to us all!
You’re the one that has the fun when you grab a cinnamon bun
As you dance in your new home, down the hall.
Greed
The need to feed one should not impede
unless need turns into greed.
To provide for family is what we do,
but retaining a balance of how we persue
the staples of life for kids and wife
will be learned when we’re young and brand new!

Happy Easter To Your Keaster
Happy Easter to your keaster, may your life be just divine,
Be cautious of boiled eggs you eat, You might end up, smelling of swine,
In one ear and out the other, Intellect is not retained,
In one end and out the other, IS what has remained,
The retention of the nutrients Which enlarge our vast domained.
So in review of consummation Please beware of your elation,
For ‘tis the fun of the taste, That will expand your waist.
Happy Easter to your Keaster, And may you now enjoy your FEASTER !
Happy Tears
Happy Tears are the cheers of life, that words will never know.
The lives we live are the ones we own and the ones we need to show!

I Do Because I Can
I do because I can, and when I can, I do!
Why would a man not do what he can
when can is who I am?
A man can’t always do what and when he can,
because he’s busy doing what he can!
I Don’t Have A Job!
If you tell me you don’t have a job your wrong you do!
Your job is getting one, try that for fun!
I Fixed It Right Away
You are such a pro, I fixed it right away!
You couldn't so I couldn't live with it looking, quite that way.
So yes I fixed it you bet your bippy I fixed, I fixed it right today!
My thanks to you for all you do, in what you do and say!
I Found You
I was looking for you, before I knew it was you that I needed to find.
To know that I was going to find out that by finding you
I found out that there was no more looking to do,
because I found you.
In the process of finding you
who were at the time unfound to me!
Profound? Confusing? Let me clarify…
I was looking for you, before I knew it was you that I needed to find.
In the process of finding you, who were at the time unfound to me,
I was full of hope, in a knowing fashion,
to know that I was going to find out
that by finding you I would find out
that there was no more looking to do
because I found you.
I Got So Big
I wonder how I got so big
I’m bigger than a twig,
I wonder how I got my name?
Yours and mine, are not the same.
I Have A Favorite Lollipop
I have a favorite lollipop, I know it won’t last forever,
it tastes so yummy to me, I can’t let it stick on my sweater.
But while it’s here, my hand and mouth will work real hard together,
to make real sure my tongue and lips, will savor this incredible flavor.
The couch is just the place to be, to taste the fruit-a-licously,
red ball of sweets on a little white stick, given just to me.
I promise not a sticky spot or dot on the couch you’ll find,
‘cause if I did Grams promised me she’ll not be quite as kind.
Lessons learned are those best earned by doing and listening well.
With this, my first Lollipop in hand, I think that you can tell,
I choose to listen to learn the lesson to earn it the easy way,
and when this one’s gone, I’ll see if Grams has another for me today!
(‘cause if I do Grams promised me she will not be as kind)
(‘cause if I did, I won’t get, another lollipop that I could call mine)
(‘cause if I did there will not be another lollipop for me)“cause if there is, that is so fine
tastes so fine
I Have A Telephone In My Foot
I have a telephone in my foot and I’m not a private eye.
My heel is where I talk and my toes are where I hear! Oh My!
My heel will always listen, to what I have to say,
my toes will always tell me where I really wanna play!
I hang on to my ankle, it’s attached to my foot
and when I’m done with all the fun, to the floor it will be put.
I’ll walk around and talk around like a busy little fly,
I Love It HOT!
You can bet your bottom dollar, sure as the sun is gonna rise, one day I will not.
But till that time you can count on me to say oh how I love it HOT!
I love Those Little Carrots
I love those sweet little carrots myself!
Grab a handful right off the shelf,
from the ‘fridgerator door, who could ask for more
when there gone I’ll go back to the store!
I Only Want The Topping?
I only want the topping cause it really keeps me hopping
But when I get below the topping I really can’t stop!
It’s the cookie underneath that crunches with my teeth
And when there’re gone my mommy will have to take me shopping!
I Owe A Tree Some Poetry
I owe a tree some poetry! You stand so tall so firm and free.
Your trunk so big so thick and strong, your limbs reach out so far so long.
Your leaves they shade and paint the sky, with so many colors that fill the eye.
Each leaf a tiny delicate brush, painting dances and games in a secret hush.
Your branches like fingers spread thru the air, in search of light, wind, rain and all that is fair.
From the tallest to the smallest, trees have their own poetry, I write for them and they grow for me!
I Promise
Oh my goodness, the goofball I am, I'm truly a pain in the bike seat!
I promise with every ounce of my promise that lives in my being
to keep you from eating those sweets!
If I’m gone
If I’m gone before one more look,
remember the past, embrace the future.
If I Retire
If I retire I’ll lose the fire for the things I love to do,
Like writing poems just like this one from me for all of you.
If I retire I’ll lose the fire for other things I’ve done,
Like playing music and entertaining and having just lots of fun.
If I retire I’ll lose the fire for things I’ve done in the past,
For it’s those things that living now makes life a total blast.
If You Don’t Know How To Laugh!
If you don’t know how to laugh, you’ll cry for the wrong reasons!
If your not:
If your not having a meaningful conversation
with 10 new people a day concerning your talents,
the ten people who have seen you perform in the past
will have already forgotten about you,
and now your down 20!
Inside the Sink
I am so glad you told me, that your not inside the sink.
'cause if you were, I couldn't help, In fact I wouldn't think,
that it was even possible that I would even know,
unless you had your phone with you, my goodness what a show!
The Invite 2008
OO-La-La we are ready to go,
Floating on a boat, who would ever know.
Lots of sun, with no threat of snow
and when we return, we'll sport a glow,
A glow, oh yes of our choice it was,
to hop on a boat…….. just because!
The two of you, so nice you are,
to invite us to float under invisible stars.
We'll board at 1 for visible fun,
Our bags are now packed, we gotta run!
I'd rather walk forward
than run backwards and stumble!
I'll bring my hula hoops
I'll bring my hula hoops and if you try a hoop or two,
I'll scoop into my pocket and show my thanks to you!
I cannot fill your bucket, Nor will I try to pluck it,
But when your done, return next year for all this crazy fun!
I’ll Get There
I’ll get there in a little while,
I’ll get there with my usual smile,
I’ll get there in my personal style,
The one you can see for more than mile,
The one you can feel around the world,
If you so desire!
I’m 3…
My name is Ferris Drake oh my goodness oh my wow!
I’ve been told I have a birthday, is it then or is it now?
Now that I know I have a birthday and I've been told that it is now,
what will even happen and who will show me how?
Will there be a big pow wow or will I ride a big, big cow?
Will I sit high or very low, will I cut or will I mow?
Will I grow or will I sow, will I run or will I tow?
(Tube-launched, Optically-tracked, Wire command data link, guided missle)
Or…
Will I drive a cool race car and go fast and really far?
I’m sure that something special, something special will happen soon.
Perhaps…
spend time with friends and family at Betty Brinn, I’ll sing a tune!
I’m glad I’m here to add some cheer to all of you today,
I’ll show you how to have a birthday,
'cause I did it my way
I'm 3 hurray!
I’m A Rhymer
I’m a rhymer just in timer as this one it came to me,
This morning as I woke up just before I had to Peeeeice
My house together from the party we had last night.
My life is well worth living, the rest, is for you to write.
I’m Back
I’m back or has my front returned to follow me around!
Or is my back around the corner following me until I’m found!
Every move that I make, I’ll see where I’m going.
Every move that I took, you’ll see what I’m showing.
The path the journey is ours to travel
The way it’s done is yours to unravel!
I’m Coming Down With A Birthday 59
I’m coming down with a birthday, but I don’t feel sick!
I’m coming down with a birthday, I hope it’s real quick!
I’m coming down with a birthday, which one should I pick!
Do I have a choice which one it is and could I choose a previous one?
If I had a choice which one it was, it would have to be one that was done!
They’re all the same to me you know, just one after one after one,
As I eat a bun,
hope that I won,
run with my son,
write an intended pun,
feel the rays of thes sun,
spend quality time with my hon,
eat a ton of Won Ton that I won.
Maybe none!
I’m coming down with a birthday, perhaps a wonderful picnic.
I’m coming down with a birthday, maybe a lollipop I’ll lick.
I’m coming down with a birthday, it’s going to be a real kick.
I’m coming down with a birthday, the clock will tic toc, toc tic.
Now on my birthday, I’d like to know like you
Of all the things listed that are good to do,
Which one will I choose which one did I pick?
I guess on my birthday,
I’ll eat CAKE till I’m really big and THICK!
I’m Doin This Now
I’m doin this now to get it out of the way 'cause there’s way too much to say
the rest of this one is for you to write in your own little special______
I'm easy
I'm easy when it's easy to be easy with easy people
I’m makin myself a pizza
I’m makin myself a pizza
A round thick juicy tasty feasta!

Pop it in the oven for ten min to heatza
and when it’s done my mouth will greetz ya
I’m Right Handed
I’m right handed not left, don’t want to be left behind.
My right hand is always leading, to my left I’m always kind.
My left hand is not right ‘cause my right is out-a-sight.
Until he turns the corner to find the left sitting alone at night.
Now if left is here and right is there why should we really care?
Except to know that left and right hold hands and never fight!
I'm Stuck with me!
I'm out to do the snow cleanup
I'm out to do the snow cleanup in just a little while,
good god all mighty frighty it really makes me smile!
I Love Getting Older
I Love getting older, because if I didn't

Oh how I love being here with you!
Is It You I wanna Bee?

It’s and its
Thanks so much for your help on "it's and its".
It's nice to have grammar friends like you
that know when it's is wrong.
A word is at its best when it's the correct its!

Jack it up
So let’s jack it up lest we forget,
it’s for all of us, we’re glad we’ve met.
Eat, drink, dance and party, might even try a Big Mack !
80 is GREATY, and I ain’t lookin’ back.
Jerry Grillo Happy B-Day
Make 'em last, make 'em blast,
make 'em fast, make 'em vast,
make 'em past and make 'em strong
so they stand like a ships mast!
Happy B-day! Another on the spot ryhme time by Mr. Pickles!
Joys of boys
The joys of boys and the added noise
Of feet on the floor and playing with toys.
Changing of diapers and teaching of words
retaining your calm when it’s time to herd,
the entire family to the table to eat
to discover we have, completed the feet
to gather us all, a loving group,
to talk of life and enjoy some soup.
Gathered ‘round, this dinner table,
8 ears, hands and feet, God willing we’re able,
to clean our plates we’ve been told is wise,
there are now 4 tummys growning, two girls and two guys.
At first 4 eyes, sharing looks between bites,
then 6 with Tori now 8, what a site.
It is you young Ferris, no doubt you’ll soon be,
chased by your parents to the toilet to pee!
Lift the lid, shoot straight, close’er up and flush,
Out the door to play more, with your pals, in a rush.
Desert was served, a long time ago,
when the chemistry of Adam and Becky did show,
That a match made in heaven, on earth to live,
Was for them, this time, a boy to give.
A son for you, and a brother for Tori
Will there perhaps be even more to the Story?
Ferris for sure you are one of a kind,
Especially when mom and dad have to clean your behind.
What a wonderful thing, our family game,
With a son like Ferris, he could continue the name.
Yet again we will learn that our children teach us,
That at the end of the day, no fuss no muss.
Two girls and two guys in this blessed family,
A balance of time is what it’ll be.
Those 8 eager eyes giving love to life,
But it’s Ferris who’ll be looking, for a wife.
Ferris will you marry us?
You could be a minister or priest,
Ferris can you fix my car?
Gosh I think it needs some grease.
Ferris can you cure my pains?
A Doctor you just might be.
A Ferris wheel has a wonderful ride,
It seems to set you free.
But what ever star you choose to chase,
Your spirit will know its’ wonderful face.
A life that sets you totally free
to run at your own pace.
Together and alone you’ll build this home, To live as a family.
Savoring those Moments that fly by so fast, the ones you love to see!

Kay B-day
A biker, a liker of all that is, a looker a booker so perfect bound.
The insight and flavor that I have found
from you who create images that wonderfully abound!
A dancer a skier a snowman builder the talents abound for sure!
May your b-day be your day in your own special way,
and perhaps become a BLURRRRR!
Kay’s B-day 2
It’s Kays’ Day!Before she even knew it!
But now she knows she’ll always get thru it
with a smile a cheer
a creative leer
a thoughtful word
to illustrate life
or an illo to portray a nerd!
Keen Kerner
Your quite a keen kerner the best I've ever seener
It makes it so easy to reader! I sat as a learner you’re the word discerner,
after years of hard work it would earn her.
A chance to kern at Cool beans with me? Is everyones poetic dreams?
As we kerned for hours To make the letters all happy.
For the letters there’s more to life than that I’ve been told,
Of what needed to move of sliding of words to the perfect spot for you
that was yet to be. At the end of the day I'll be happy to say
That the words have there own little space, Kay here's your well earned pay!
Knowledge!
Knowledge keeps you from falling over the ledge! No ledge!

Lafora
I signed up and I voted for a really great cause,
if you haven't as of yet don't wait and don't pause!
Lafora is not an easy thing to deal with or to have,
do your voting now and many times and peace of mind you'll have!
Left Needs Right
Left needs right,
Top needs Bottom
Inside needs outside
your nothin’ without ‘em
Like minds
Like minds like, like minds
Lips
Below my nose and above my chin is where the food goes in!
Behind my lips are my teeth and tongue
they worked real hard when I was young.
My mustache lived above there
but now it’s very bare!
My mouth is in the middle
and at times it just may dribble
The food slides off my upper lip
into the cup I sip!
And if I slip on what I should sip
that’s called an unfortunate trip!
Lipstick For The First Time
Lipstick for the first time, I think I missed my lips.
I didn’t know where it was supposed to go, so I used my finger tips.
I loved the color so very much, in that way cool container.
It felt so good just smearing it on, good golly Mom says, contain her. (refrain her)
Who cares that it went everywhere, it was really, really cool.
So what if I used my fingers tips for the applicator tool.
I could feel the color brighten my face, from my chin to my far away fore head.
So what and who cares, I’m having the time of my life, my face is now all red.
It was just the thing to do, just to do the thing I did.
Don’t forget how young I am, I’m really just a kid!
Long Time Friends
Long time friends short time lovers,
Just one night we spent under the covers.
Lookin’ for that perfect fit,
But we found out, that wasn’t it.
We stayed together as friends forever,
Just like a ball and tether.
Long time friends short time lovers,
Just one night we spent under the covers.
Lookin’ for that perfect fit,
But we found out, that wasn’t it.
If I wrote a rhyme for you
I promise it would be real true.
Long time friends short time lovers,
Just one night we spent under the covers.
Lookin’ for that perfect fit,
But we found out, that wasn’t it.
Just might even make a song
So all of you could sing along.
Long time friends short time lovers,
Just one night we spent under the covers.
Lookin’ for that perfect fit,
But we found out, that wasn’t it.
To sing along is what we do
Sing along is good for you
Long time friends short time lovers,
Just one night we spent under the covers.
Lookin’ for that perfect fit,
But we found out, that wasn’t it.
Don’t forget who your friends are,
With them near you’ll go quite far.
Long time friends short time lovers,
Just one night we spent under the covers.
Lookin’ for that perfect fit,
But we found out, that wasn’t it.
Lori Bday Husband to wife
This is the date of your memorable birth,
on Gods great bountiful earth.
We’re all so blessed that your around,
the love you give can only be found
from someone of your great worth.
Your talents abound, there are so many,
from cooking to being a Granny.
At this time in my life, I’m really surprised,
that I don’t have a bigger fanny.
The blessings you share are felt everywhere,
from family to your clients hair.
But there is no bigger fan of you,
than the one that said I DO!
You think that’s it? Well no not yet
there’s one more thing to do?
I’ll clean the house,
do the dishes if you wishes,
I’d even chase a mouse.
I’d vacuum floors,
clean windows and doors,
put the clothes away and more.
Make morning coffee, finish painting,
a new kitchen is in store!
The blessings you share are felt everywhere,
from family to your clients hair.
But there is no bigger fan of you,
than the one that said I DO!

Meow Meow
Meow meow I wish I was a cow,
please show me now
how a cat can become a cow
that sounds like a dog and goes Bow wow!
Mommy you have a B-day
Mommy you have a B-day
do I really know which one?
It really doesn’t matter
God knows your havin’ fun!
If it wasn’t for you there wouldn’t be me
so everyday I’ll take a knee,
in gratitude for the love you give
and the life you’ve given me to live!
Mr. Snowman
Hey Mr. Snow Man did you know your made of snow?
No I didn’t, I really didn’t, how can you tell how do you know?
Well for starters, you should be cold or at least chilly I’ve been told.
I’m not cold at all, I feel just right, on sunny days or star lit nights.
Gosh I love your scarf and hat! Maybe that’s what keeps you warm.
I’m so big and round and tall and fat. Maybe that’s what keeps me warm.
Those yellow boots and carrot nose. Maybe that’s what keeps you warm.
I stand for ever in this happy pose. Maybe that’s what keeps me warm.
Maybe all, maybe none. Keep in mind it’s just for fun!
What do you mean by all those things, Don’t I look just like you?
Well not quite exactly, your someone special and very new.
You have skis and ski poles standing right by your side.
Any second now down the hill on your skis you could glide!
What if I fall?
You might bump and rumble tumble!
Who would I call and will I make the earth grumble?
Maybe all, maybe none. Keep in mind it’s just for fun!
Hey Mr. Snow Man did you know your made of snow?
Mr. Squishy
Hello Mr. Squishy,
oh how I bet you wishy
that you knew,
how you got your curious nick name.
Well I can give a clue
as that’s the best I can do,
as it could have (has) something to do
with fishy on a dishy.
Now fish alone is healthy to eat
and will keep you looking the same,
But it’s what goes along with it,
that can cause you to thick it
Your body legs arms and hairdo!
Ms. Planter
When I giggle I wiggle I can’t help myself,
I almost fall off the kitchen shelf.
A sight to see I must guarantee
I have a big plant inside of me.
I was filled with dirt and then some seeds,
Oh how greatfull I am, they didn’t grow into weeds.
Water was poured each day of the week
And each day of the week the people would peek!
Yes a look they took but not at me
It was the dirt they would see with anticipated glee.
Sitting on a shelf all by my self and shinning on me was the golden sun!
How could any one think this could be just any ones fun!
As it blossomed and grew, I now know what they knew,
a wonderful flower, they were looking forward to view.
A flower full of fragrance, and a face with a smile.
Leaves, pedals and stem of one very unique and particular style.
Like the plants in Ms. Planter are the people of this home.
If fed, loved and nurtured they will never ever roam.
We’re one of a kind and should be kind to one and all
This is what we should do, this should be our personal call!
So have a golden day, in every single way.
‘cause it’s really up to you, with all you do and say.
When I giggle I wiggle I can’t help myself, I’ll never fall off that kitchen shelf.
My Mind Kicked Me out of Bed!
My Dough
Seasons greetings to the team
that doesn't have to scream
to let people know
they can handle my dough!
My Face
A Mirror image of my thoughts is known by me alone.
My thoughts are really on my face they are seen by me at home.
My face lets me see inside my heart, can you hear my heart beating?
I’m way too young to be this smart, can you guess what I am thinking?
I’m smart enough to stay this young. Can you have this much fun?
The bells of life can all be rung as long as you don’t run.
I’ll see my face on another place and try to read my mind.
I know for sure without a doubt it’s love that I will find.
My Hat!
Sorry oh so sorry about saying stuff like that
It really isn't part of me or underneath my hat!
My Hat #2!
You're the best oh yes you are,
the very best by far.
Up on my head I'll wear this hat
to wear and enjoy...
and that's that!
My left needs my right
My left needs my right…
My top needs my bottom…
My inside needs my outside…
I’m nothin’ without ‘em!
My Name Is Michael Poems
My name is Michael, I must say,
I write poems every day.
Sometimes short and sometimes long,
Sometimes they, could even be a song.
When I do they’re just for you.
Or so you’d like to think.
If I don’t like ‘em you won’t read ‘em
They’ll go right down the sink!
My Name Is Michael Songs
My name is Michael, I must say, I write songs every day.
Sometimes short sometimes long
Sometimes you, can even sing-a-long.
When I do they’re just for you,
Or so you’d like to think.
If I don’t like it you won’t hear it
They’ll go right down the sink!
My Personal Appreciation
My personal appreciation is always measured in results
S-P-E-C-I-A-L that spells special what the
Hello I am glad your here, If you’d like I’ll serve you
Berries by the lake I’ll sit, while I’m there I will not,
Fit into my boat named Chuck, ‘Cause it’s full of little Ducks
That climb in and fly away, just because they think I’m
Gabriel when I play my Horn…ever since I have been born,
So with these words I leave for you, a chance to meet someone to
Knew the inner beats of life and yet was willing to do your
Knives as they get dull need work I am a good man not a
Jerk chicken tastes good to me as late night sleep I wake to
Pieces of my works of art are enjoyed by those who never
Farther down the road we’ll truck and meet some others that like to
Struck with lightening it’s been said that all good men like to get
Heading in the right direction irregardless of the power of
There perfection it is found that the shape of a woman has a
Hardening effect on the mans out look on life so as to make money for the honey.
By days end you’ll have a friend and together, while cleaning is needed,
to these words that can be heeded the breeding of more kids for you will be greeted by all Ya Hoo!
My spirit did find,
My spirit did find,
I hope you don’t mind,
It’s just one more,
don’t kick me out the door
don’t want to bore,
but it’s this great lady we all adore.

Never Stop Lovin' You
I’ll never stop lovin’ you,
‘cause your turn my heart to glue,
With all that we say and do,
I’ll never stop lovin’ you,
With all that we say and do,
I’ll never stop lovin’ you.
In different places we are,
Like the north and south pole,
Will they ever really meet,
Well god only knows,
Will they ever really meet,
Well God only Knows.
The dance of love that’s done,
Is for us and us alone,
But will they ever finish the song,
It’s up to you and me to say,
But will they ever finish the song,
It’s up to you and me to say.
If you left me without a touch,
It would be like fall without beautiful leaves,
I couldn’t live my life that way,
I couldn’t live my life in grey,
I couldn’t live my life that way,
I couldn’t live my life in grey.
New hair-do Ferris
Now that Ferris has his own hair-do
He'll drive the girls wild on the first day of school!
New Parents
After Victoria tries to teach you what she will allow you to embrace
as your personal style of parenting,
you might then, try comparing your feeble attempts by perhaps
combining and sharing your individual successes
and failures with each other by Creating, (Pun intended)
a graph/comparative chart, if you would, with an in depth explication of
what, where, when and the percentage of effort applied,
as well as the success and effectiveness of the variety of techniques
attempted during this process by both of you,
making sure to identify each technique, with a clear description using
a name, number or some identifying organizational system so as not to get Confused
as well as to build in the illusion of consistency,
so as to get an overall feel for the direction that you should try to consider adopting
on any given day or time of day, depending on the
sleep depravation, food consumption, stack of dirty diapers, dishes,
clothes and toys scattered everywhere,
which includes places in your home that you never knew existed !
That being said, as well as lived,
your precious new little package, won’t even know or care what
sleep depravation, food consumption, stack of dirty diapers, dishes,
clothes and toys scattered everywhere is or means,
much less the words that dribble out of your mouth.
The toy for example has been, since the beginning of time,
and keeping in mind that this is common knowledge,
initially at least in the beginning, exclusively used for the sanity of
parents, family members and baby sitters.
We all need a little levity sometimes to help keep us above the
Ap-parent (Pun intended)
potential hazards and confusion caused by the sheer joy of
not knowing how to deal with the natural unaffected spontaneity,
which we as adults have lost,
of this small child who knows and lives more life in one day
than we can pretend to know and have lived in all of our years on this earth as Gods children.
When all else has failed, in-between swamp diapers and puke…..
hug and kiss Victoria.
As a parent, you will always need to encourage Victoria
to teach you to know, how to know her better so as to facilitate
a learning growing atmosphere designed to improve and augment the depth
of understanding that makes everyone’s life wonderful.
This enables you Becky and Adam as parents
to feel free to teach Victoria when she grows up
to do the same for you when you get old and have your own version of
swamp diapers and puke. All you need Is l o v e”
No regrets he forgets
I once knew a man named Bret,
Who unknowingly forgot he would forget
to remember the things he needed to know
So for now he has no regrets.
NO Way Jose
NO way Jose could I forget, the illo gal like you.
For if I did, the loss so great, forever I would regret.
But to regret is to remember that which you thought you forgot,
so to worry or wonder how weird it might be! forgetting you.....I WILL NOT!
Noodles
I’m gonna eat some noodles not the kind that you buy.
These are very cool ones, not the kind that you fry.
I’m gonna eat some noodles, not from a restaurant or a store.
These are very special ones, the kind you’ll beg for more.
I’m gonna eat some noodles that I’d like to share with you.
But first there are a few things that both of us will have to do.
To the kitchen we will go, the ingredients you’ll have to know.
Flour, water, egg and love, now lets begin the show!
Make a hill of the flour with a well in the middle.
Pour your egg and water in it and mix it up like a fiddle.
This is the way to make some noodles, this is the way you could.
This is the way you make some noodles, this is the way you should!
Put it all in a bowl, together if you would. Put it all in a bowl and mix it up real good.
You need to kneed it with your hands, push and pull that wonderful dough.
It’s noodles that we’re making now It’s you we’re showing how.
This is the way to make some noodles, this is the way you could.
This is the way you make some noodles, this is the way you should!
Roll it up into a ball and let it rest, for just a while.
This is the way to make some noodles, this is my personal style.
Roll it out and lay it flat, now the fun begins. Just cut the shape you want to have
you’ll have a thousand grins.
Of all the ones that we will make, these are the ones you’ll take.
I’ll share with you and If I didn’t, my heart would surely break.
Enjoy the flavor and the shapes, don’t forget what we have done.
To home you go with all your noodles remembering all the fun!
They’ll all be waiting to share with the clan, this is my ultimate plan.
(‘cause without flour, water salt and such I guarantee you won’t have much).
To put into the I have to ask I take that back (and now your beginning to know)
this you really know!
Noonish
Noonish I'll say is just right for me!
But be careful not to make me laugh too hard, I just might have to....P
Not inside the sink
I am so glad you told me, that your not inside the sink.
'cause if you were, I couldn't help, In fact I wouldn't think,
that it was even possible that I would even know,
unless you had your phone with you, my goodness what a show!
Now That I’m 4
Now that I’m 4 how much more can I store in my little brain?
Perhaps I’ll just sit back and relax and count the drops of rain!
They’ll wave to me as they fly by, I’ll shout to them out loud!
We couldn’t be more happy or individually proud!
I’ll give each and everyone of them an individual name,
Now after 4 I’ll never, how could I ever be the same.
Now That I’m 80 For You And By You
Now that I’m 80, what will I do?
Think of those years and how they flew?
By the grace of God my earthly health,
has been granted me to enjoy my wealth.
Not of things I buy, build or create.
But of the people I’ll see at those “Pearly Gates”.
As we all enjoy today’s event
I count my blessings, I don’t have to rent.
The Fathers that made me from Heaven and earth,
could quite frankly care less, of my sweet girth.
To my family and friends who have joined me today,
you are my true value…my present, our worth.
I count my blessings on this happy day,
knowing that my children have loved me in every way.
So eat, drink, dance and party, might even try a Big Mack!
80 is behind me, and I ain’t lookin’ back.

Office Max Sarah
All is well, all is swell what more can I tell!
I'm looking forward to stopping by to ring your little bell
I've been working on the Spanish version and 10 other things!
at office max the copy center ding-a-ling you ding-a-lings!
Old Age, Is A Gift
You have a good understanding of the great freedom that comes with aging.
You have to like being older. It can set you free.Be messy and extravagant.
You are entitled to a treat. No guilt for eating that extra cookie,
or for not making your bed, or for buying that silly whatever that you really didn't need.
Read or play on the computer until 4 AM sleep until noon.
You can be forgetful. But then again, some of life is just as well forgotten.
And eventually you remember the important things.You are blessed to have lived long enough
to have your hair turn gray, and then this color and that color.
Retain those youthful laughs we can all learn from. Care less about what other people think.
Earned the right to be wrong. While your here, Your certainly not wasting time lamenting
what could have been, or worrying about what will be.
On The Ground
Your left and right your up and down your front and back your all around,
just make darn sure that every day your feet are on the ground!
One Hair Teddy Bear
The Teddy bear with one hair that’s sitting on a chair,
This one little rare bear, that has been sitting on the chair,
I guess he must be a special bear ‘cause he’s sitting on that chair.
No where else can I find a Bear that’s sitting on any chair
and no-where else will I find a bear with only one single hair.
Especially one so wonderful, a Bear with only one beautiful hair.
Why should I care, about the Bear, with only one fantastic hair?
Is he sitting here or sitting there and is he the kind of bear that will share?
It all depends on you, and if you care to stare!
Who’s sitting here isn’t over there they are over here for sure.
and who’s over there is not over here unless I ‘m over there I were!
If another bear was there, they would be called a pair of Bears
with one that has one hair and the other that is willing to share.
Bear the one with one,
Snare the bear I could hardly bare the time alone if the Bear was over there
If your sitting here your not over there unless your sitting Everywhere!
One More
My spirit did find, I hope you don’t mind,
It’s just one more, don’t kick me out the door
don’t want to bore, but it’s this great lady we all adore.
Only You Will Know When We Are Done!
Only you will know when we are done,
only you will have a clue! (what’s really left to do)
Only you will know when we are done,
it’s up to you when we are thru! (with all those things you just magically knew)
Only you will know when we are done,
‘cause when you are I will be too! (and so great full just to you)
Only you will know when we are done,
I can’t stop writing, it’s what I do! (It’s this much fun… because of who?)
Only you will know when we are done,
Oh how I love the color Blue! (when in that plane I flew)
Only you will know when we are done,
when having fun is part of you! (I’ll turn the corner and say peek-a-boo!)
Only you will know when we are done,
when what you do is so brand new, that when it’s done we’ll say yahoo!
Only you will know when we are done,
Because we includes me and when we’re done we’re thru!
Our Love will Stay
The rhythm of life will never stop beating
As long as we know we’ve got each other.
The seasons will change no matter what we do
Our love will stay and remain the same
Our love will stay and remain 1.2.3.4 the same
It’s time to be close & loving towards eachother
It’s time to give so that we can receive
The endless array of things in our lives
Our love will stay and remain the same
As we walk along the road, good times will come and go
Our love will stay and remain the same
As we grow older we must grow together,
Parts of us always want to escape,
Like branches of trees that reach out from the center,
So will our personal lives ever be
Our love will stay and remain
The need to always explore yourself is always present
Don’t ever forget who you really are
Remember who loves you, I’ll always be there
Our love will stay and remain the same
Our love will stay and remain the same
Our love will stay and remain the same

Papa PicklesTickles Words
Pickles Tickles the words that he sees
pickles tickles quite generously
He loves those crunchy sweet little devils.
Green, bumpy and sweet as he wildly shovels
2, 3 and 4 at a time in hopes
he’ll create just for you a rhyme!
Patient Man
In some men’s mind, men are the patients to the patient woman.
In that case the key is for the patient woman to let him think he is the patient
while all along teaching him that patience is not good and
that if you need something from him now is not tomorrow!
PEE
When your 63 just be glad you can pee,
and not have to say there's a yellow bag
hanging next to me!
Pearly Gates
No worries, no worries, it's all good and great,
someday we'll all meet at those Pearly Gates!
Perfect
Oh yes oh yes how could you guess, that I would agree with thee.
It's your logic and thought process, that will be perfect, just perfect for me.
Planet Drake
I’ve returned from orbiting the planet Drake.
Soon, to reply to all messages you make.
Be they small or tall I’ll get to them all
much before the end of fall!
Poems that I owe’ms
These are poems that I owe’ms
this is talent that’s not mine.
These are words given to me
from our maker the Divine.
Poems wrapped
The poems wrapped in word art told,
Are poems that I hope will mold,
The minds of you the young and old
To your hearts, will forever hold.
The poems wrapped in word art told,
Are poems that I hope will mold,
The minds of you the young and old
To your hearts, will forever hold.
Poo
Did you ever have a poo that did not know what to do?
Yes I have, Oh I had and it really made me mad!
Did you ever think that poo would ever do this thing to You?
No I never, ever did I think that I could not be glad.
Did you talk to Mr. poo?
Did you ask if he could do, all the things he’s suppose to do,
so he could do what he should do, which is to let that nasty poo,
leave from the bottom of dear you?
I’ll have a chat with that fat cat and make him understand,
that if you stick around too long it’s you I’ll reprimand.
No food no drink to help you think. All I’m really needing now,
is for you to finally show me how……
And give me the stuff that stinks!
Pumpkin Pie
I’m standing by a pumpkin and I’m barely 3 feet tall.
He’s so much taller than me, I hope he doesn’t fall.
If a pie of him I’d make,
for ever it would take to bake.
That would be just fine with me,
‘cause then the world could eat for free.


Remember
These are things that we’ll remember,
you are the ones we loved to meet.
Those were times and people of our lives
that we re-live while in our sleep.
The events and people of your world
illuminate your heart and health.
These are things we should hold dear
it’s truly our only wealth!
Re-meet you again!
What an incredible treat to re-meet you again.
To chat of what is, and what was, a memorable then.
To now know, what you do, and the life you pursue,
is without a doubt great... for all who know and love YOU!
I had an old musician friend of mine call me from Texas, a great black male singer that was in a band with me.
He is now a pastor at a church. We laughed for an hour or so on the phone reminiscing. At the time we were playing at a BYOL,
bring your own alchol and they would keep it behind the bar with your name on it and charge you for setups.
He reminded me of that place, a rather stuffy bar and the time I went into the audience with my horn playing away
and the other band members were saying...what is he doing? The singer Mike Rose said to them leave him alone he knows what he's doing, it's cool.
I really didn't know, except that I was having a great time playing. It was, 1968 wonderful memories of innocence and just going on the moment.
So I wrote him back, I thought I'd share it with you!
Rent
The times we spent the places we went,
could have been quite different I’m sure.
If not for you and thanks to you,
you saved us a lotta rent.
Resist
I love it when you can't resist,
I love it when you don't resist,
for if you resist... nothing could exist!
I just couldn't resist!
Roller Skate
I can hardly wait to skate, I can hardly wait to roll.
I can Hardly wait to find a friend toskate and rock and roll.
Can you hear the sound as the wheels go round?
Did you find a friend , the best you ever found?
Rust
Ok, Ok if you must,
I trust my mind will never rust,
I hope my spirirt will always lust
for words that ryhme almost anytime!

Sedentary
The bad thing about being sedentary,
is that you become the sediment!
My sentiments!
Shoes on my chair?
There are shoes on the legs of my chair!
Oh how in the world did they get there?
Did the seat request it?
Did the back want it?
Did the arms need it?
Did the feet require it?
There are shoes on the legs of my chair!
Shoes on the table!
Shoes on the table can mean many things,
and one thing for sure,
that's not where they belong.
2nd thing for sure, you should know that it's wrong
it would never be done not even to cure
a very old illness that was had by some Kings.
Show and Tell
4th grade show and tell,
I had nothing to show and nothing to tell!
One kid played a trumpet,
I was hooked because I listened well!
The Sights
The sights the sounds the breeze without freeze,
at the end of the day we’re brought down to our knees
to rest and remember the food of life to enjoy a meal with your wonderful wife!
To be thankful for all that you can’t control of the things that work in your favor.
To be thankful for all that you can control like the food your about to savor!
Slide!
I'm standing on top of this slide,
all my feelings built up inside.
I'm getting ready to feel the glide
and enjoy the wonderful ride!
Snow, The Cleanup
I'm out to do the snow cleanup in just a little while,
good god all mighty frighty it really makes me smile!
The String
What is that thing that surprises my eyes’es?
What is that thing that’s here and gone and makes me laughs’es?
What is that thing that weaves thru my fingers in search of a path, just the perfect one?
What is that thing that tickles my giggles and rolls’es around my galloping toes’es?
What is that thing that bounces on my tummy giving me love, hugs and squeezes?
What is that thing that kneels on my kneeses?
What is that thing?
What is that thing that makes circles on my chest then rolls on my necks’es?
What is that thing that glides up from my chin and kisses my lips’es?
What is that thing that dances on my nose’es then slides down to tickle my cute little cheek bone’es.
What is that thing that circles my neck and plays a song in my ears’es?
What is that thing that gets lost in my hair-do and stumbles down my forehead to say
peek-a-boo?
What is that thing that does things that I think things about?
What is that thing that plays and plays’es?
I think that thing is a String, that is what that things’es is……. a STRING.
Stru-GG-le

It makes the end results really swell
Susie Your a Dusie
Oh Susie your a dusie, I'm so tempted to do a rhyme.
But at this time of the day, I have the will, but not the time.
You'll have to settle now, for just a simple modest one,
'cause it's all I got and we're looking forward, to one h-e-l-l of a lot of fun!
Sweaty Bee
I do agree I like the bee the little bitty sweaty bee
I hope he showers when he's done so on his date ooops! not for kids

Tanks agin’ me matey
Dave Luhreseen A little rhyme
Tanks agin’ me matey, you’ve done me right.
Da ship is afloat for Saturday night!
If your not doin’ nuttin,’ come ride along,
for free with me, as I play my songs.
Your handy way with words I admire,
it’s the tilt of your talent I do aspire.
The ease of your read is to those you feed
the content and clarity that leaves no need,
for further descriptions or in depth depictions,
your joining of letters has no restrictions.
Teeny Weenie of a Tip
It was too teeny weenie of a tip, that's why you didn't notice,
It was so small I feel I've done, I hope not, an irrevocable injustice!
Thanks giving
Ditto Ditto says the cat in the fitto,
after eating today, I'll be bigger in the MITTO!
Thankyou for thinking
Thankyou for thinking of thanking me for thanking you!
That little detail
Thanks again for that little detail that only you... the master of things to do, can do!
The Man With No Ears
Oh yes, oh yes said the man with no ears, to the ears attached to the man who aligns the
vibrating strings of an instrument that truly surpasses the audio experiences of most living creatures
who explore the inner and outer edges of lifes journeys with the kid wonder of, yes you guessed it, you,
the kid of tonal molecular structure. In other words...That is a great idea. when do you have an availability
to massage the strings on the heavenly instrument that resides in my house? The Man With No Ears
The Normal Thing
The normal thing about me is that I'm normal to me and
abnormal to all the other normalized abnormalties that are out there,
The pest I am
The pest I am 'cause you are the best to find and tweek those things!
But alas for me I found this one for now my hear will sing!
The pleasure was mine
The pleasure was mine,
for the two of you oh so divine.
May your blessings be many,
times 10 million to a penny!
The way I eat
The way I eat dictates to my feet,
how hard I play and work on the street.
The way I eat gives me miles of smiles
and the energy it takes… oh piles and piles!
The way I eat is the way I’ll keep meeting,
new friends and old with a joyous greeting!
The way I eat is the way I’ll weigh
The weight that’s right each and every day!
I really couldn’t wait to write
Or wait to lose this weight tonight.
It had to go to show I know
I knew what weight for me was just right!
The extra weight I navigate is really not my friend,
I need to just, let go of it, to whom should I lend?
There’s A Third
I heard there’s a third to add to the herd, No way can it be a nerd!
I’m just now catching my breath with 1 and 2, what incredible things you two do!
They maybe a baby for just a short while all faces will fill with a smile.
But it’s the diapers they fill that make us stand still as we try to clean up the pile!
Now these diapers are full of memorable moments the newborn is what I mean.
We just can’t stop loving this incredible baby whether she’s dirty or she’s clean!
They RULE
I gleamed! I glowed one thing I knowed this stuff is really cool!
The illos that you create for us, they really really RULE!
Thing Like This?
What do you do with a thing like this?
With a thing like this what’s done?
Has anyone ever seen this thing,
this thing that looks like fun?
Am I the first, the only one,
perhaps others missed?
I should listen closer
to its voice it might
have a special twist!
Thinking Thoughts
I’m thinking thoughts that come back to see,
if they really want to be thought by me.
I’m thinking thoughts that are new to me,
like wondering about the open sea.
My thoughts of things they come and go,
some are new and some I know.
When they return I’ll treat them well,
we’ll have a chance to show and tell.
My face lets me see inside my heart.
Can you hear my heart beating?
I’m way too young to be this smart,
Canyou guess what I am thinking?
I’m smart enough to stay this young.
Can you have this much fun?
The bells of life can all be rung
As long as you don’t run.
(If you run too fast you’ll miss it)
I’ll see my face on another place
and try to read my mind.
( and know whats on my mind)
I know for sure without a doubt
It’s love that I will find.
Thirsty Firsty
We'll be next to the pool, real easy to find
you'll hear us there as you unwind!
I'll get you a drink if you might be thirsty
in this race with one, I guess you'll come in firsty!
Kay: In this ride with me alone
I'm going a long way from home.
I’ll be first and I’ll be last
I’ll try to ride my bike real fast
because I need for you to know
I really want to see your show
I’ll blow by every fielded cow (perhaps a Moo or Two)
just before your final bow!
Michael: I'll keep it in my personal files,
credit it to you of course,
and somewhere along those wonderful miles,
perhaps you'll see a horse!
Too much wine?
Too much wine? Too much fun? I painted my ceiling and walls!
Only one color that's all I wanted, from the ladder I did not falls!
A spot or two I might have missed, the day after is soon enough,
to see the beauty and the color I chose it really wasn't all that tuff!
Toast
Let’s make a toast who can drink the most,
Then have a seat in your furniture.
And we’ll propose a toast
To use it when you need it the most
To know who
To know who I was while finding my way has been the key to my success!
To know who you are while finding your way is the key to your success!
To know who you are while finding my way has been the key to my success
Triplets
Triplet trees dancing, Kate, John and Nick.
Which one is our favorite? We cannot pick.
They were planted together and together they’ll stay,
standing and growing in their own special way.
The way they look, they say nothing out loud.
But you can feel the power,
they’re shouting we’re proud.
Tunnel Vision
Mr. Try not to be Tunnel Vision Man
should from time to time miss the Tunnel
Turn The Page
I've learned how to turn the page when nothing more can be said,
read or fed to hearts that are dead.
I'm a persistent 5'4" little guy and the only time I back peddle
is when I turn my back going forward so I can watch
what I leave in the dust behind me!
Twigs Between My Toes
I put twigs between my toes, what a crazy thing I’ve done.
As I walk around with’em sticking out, my feet are just too much fun!
My toes no longer touch the ground, my heels do all the work,
My balance is really up to me, My me, My me, My me.
I lay down in the soft green grass, my hands and feet pointing to the sky,
I imagine that I’m Mr. Tree where all the birds like to fly.
Come make a nest and sing your song, for I am Mr. Tree.
The melodies you sing out loud, I think are just for me.
I visit all my friends, who live around the block,
How long did it take to get here? as they look at the kitchen clock.
It really doesn’t matter how much time it actually took,
I’m here to show you the Twigs Between My Toes You’ve got to take a look!
My heels, my arms my everything keeps me balanced so I can sing
This is my new trick I have found, I love the earth and ground.
I put twigs between my toes, what a crazy thing I’ve done.
As I walk around with’em sticking out, my feet are just too much fun!

Underneath My Hat
Sorry oh so sorry about saying stuff like that,
it really isn't part of me or underneath my hat!

The Van
The Van is packed and stacked
with bikes in a rack, back packs,
camping gear,
and yes, even beer!
Clothes for hot and clothes for cold,
clothes for biking and
clothes for hiking....
Shoes to keep our toes warm
and shoes to let our little toes roam.
We have this, we have that,
we even have more than one hat!
We have a map and
we are ready to camp!
We have our tent, hopefully the poles aren't bent.
Just gotta put the man in the Van
and start our caravan,
but not until tomorrow am.
Vent
Vent oh vent out thru the window she went
when she sent the vent out to me.
If you meant to vent please don't get bent
'cause I promise I will not dent.
If a vent you lent, keep it pent up in that tent,
For free it will be… NO RENT

Walk Talk
What a wonderful thing it is to walk,
what a wonderful thing to spend time and talk,
to all the friends your feet like to meet,
perhaps the others enjoying the street!
What ever!
What ever it needs to be to do what it needs to do to get done what it needs to get done to be who it wants to be
What ever it needs to be, is to do. What ever it needs to do to get done is what needs to get done to be who you want to be...
What Is This Thing?
What is this thing that surprises my eyes'es
What is this thing that’s here then gone and makes me laughs’es.
What is this thing that weaves thru my fingers in search of a path
Just the perfect one!
What is this thing that tickles my giggles and rolls’es around my galloping toes’es?
What is this thing that twists, turns and bounces giving me love, hugs and squeezes?
What is this thing that kneels on my kneeses?
What is this thing that makes circles on my chest then rolls up on my necks’es?
What is this thing that glides up from my chin and kisses my lips’es?
What is this thing that dances on my nose’es
then slides down and tickles my cute little cheek bones’es?
What is this thing that circles my neck and plays a song in my ears’es?
What is this thing that gets lost in my hair-do, stumbles down my forehead just to say
peek-a-boo?
What is this thing that does things that I think things about?
What is this thing that plays and plays’es? What is this thing?
I think this things'es is a String... thats'es what this things’es is…a STRING.
Who, What Where and Why?
From new born to old, torn and worn out.
From Jazz lover to beach hugger and kids that shout!
From foodies to dudes that workout at the Gym,
as well as good people just singin' a Hymn.
The who are many the why is because,
they find something of mine that gives them a BUZZZZZZ!
I think that might cover the who, where, what and why,
to find me is easy, just go ahead let your eye,
follow my website, pun intended, and you'll find,
the way to contact me is really quite well defined!
Would Wood
Would you ever think you could…
that you would ever find that kind of wood?
And if you did what would or should
you do
with all that kind of wood?
I know...
I’d get a truck load of marshmellows and
build a really super big fire.
I'd roast them over that dancing
flame of which you’ll never tire.
Words I Admire
for Dave Luhrssen
Your handy way with words I admire,
it’s the tilt of your talent I do aspire.
The ease of your read is to those you feed
the content and clarity that leaves no need,
for further descriptions or in depth depictions,
your joining of letters has no restrictions.
Word art
The poems wrapped in word art told,
Are poems that I hope will mold,
The minds of you the young and old
To your hearts, will forever hold.
Wordation /Artsation
Distortion is the notion of something being bad.
But this wordation with this artsation, makes me oh, so very glad.
The poems wrapped in word art told, are poems that I hope will mold,
The minds of you the young and old to your hearts, will forever hold.
Wordsications!
No need to respond to my pontifications,
I just feel better when I release all those letters
that turn themselves into my wordsications!
Working
Awesome, groovy, ska-diddle-dee-doo!
Oh how I enjoy working with the likes of you!

X'n fun
I wanted to write a poem that would ryhme with the letter X.
I wanted to write a poem that would at least use the letter X.
I wanted to write a poem that you would want to text,
or FedEx to your friends of any sex.
It wouldn't have to be Xtra special
it wouldn't have to make me cross my eyes
but when I finally make one up
it will be a surprise.
X'cept for not knowin'
what to name the X'ing poem
I'm sure I'll have some X'n fun
till the X'n name will show'm
what the X'n poem has in'm

You are new to me,

Young And Old
The poems wrapped in word art told,
Are poems that I hope will mold,
the minds of you the young and old
to your hearts, will forever hold.

that the rewards of good living will remain.
