Why always must you rhyme?
You write all right
But when you write
You're rhymin' all the time
When did you start rhymin'?
Well, when I was kid
though sounds absurd
I'd hear a word
and that's just what I did
nor my #last
she's my monkey in the #middle
All her life she's felt the slight
hand me downs that don't fit right
In the footsteps of her older Sis
Marsha Marsha, she would hiss
I tell her I #cherish them all the same
then I pat the hand of what's her name

tho I do aspire
#matter's not who did
I have loved old poets
since I was a kid
the #draw of words
ne'er satiate
such #dedicate
those greats of yore
thier words #illuminate a page
& shall live evermore
I love it more with age

a toss
a flying fuck
they all flow through the sieve
a hoot
a fig
a fat rat's ass
these things I could not give

sly temptation your niche

go back to where we stood
when you cupped my face and kissed me
and that large cube van just missed me
I should have traded places
and as you bent to tie your laces
I would have listen for the whuush
and firmly give a push
go back to where we stood
when you cupped my face and kissed me
and that large cube van just missed me
I should have traded places
and as you bent to tie your laces
I would have listen for the whuush
and firmly give a push
from hands not held and lips not kissed
from lonely nights with noone there
a bed for one, no laughter shared
the years go by, hope dissipates
some hearts are overlooked by fate
from time to time the dream persists
the sadness comes from what I've missed
from hands not held and lips not kissed
from lonely nights with noone there
a bed for one, no laughter shared
the years go by, hope dissipates
some hearts are overlooked by fate
from time to time the dream persists
the sadness comes from what I've missed
gotta face 'em head on
My laughter is magic
poof, sadness is gone
My #health is my wealth
I know this for sure
My thoughts often scattered
though nothing but pure
My memory is iffy
still I know what I know
My morals are solid
you reap what you sow

where once my treats were sweet
no need to run a marathon
just simply move your feet
I now treat myself with solitude
where once my guilt not dare
tis fine to spread your time around
sans some you will not share
where once my treats were sweet
no need to run a marathon

sometimes is best
forgive the young
they'll learn the rest

Very too often a wing & a prayer
#Whirlwind days, #cheer on the hurry
X-ray my bones am I too old to scurry?
You took a shot, by the seat of ur pants
#Zigzagged when you could, created your dance

#giggles & #tenderness
if mom or dad hollered
her #absence laid heavy
your first taste of grief
goodby knitted scarfs
& Sunday's roast beef
roots hunker as the tree grows taller
your Nan your Grandma

chatting with another
as if not slow enough
seems there is a new guy
stocks shelves & sweeps the floor
heard them call him Pee Wee
then they giggled even more
so with my order finished, I said thank you dear
I could use a hand
is my son Pee Wee here?
