So Anyway, Later
So Anyway, Later
Um, hey.
I don't know.
Maybe it seems silly
that I would like to hold your hand.
Maybe we could go to a concert,
check out some stellar band.
I just, uh, know that when I see you,
wow! You really make me smile!
My troubles seem to float away
for like a little while.
I'm like, not the greatest dancer
but maybe I'd give it a try.
Man! I can't believe I'm doing this
'cuz I'm really pretty shy!
So, whatever,
I just thought that maybe
we could hang out. ...

Bridges - Unity Bridge
Bridges - Unity Bridge
We are like automobiles riding along the roads of life.
Ahead, on the horizon we come across bridges.
And though bridges may start out built to be strong they require maintenance.
Sometimes they can be maintained.
Other times they can become weak, broken.
They do not pass the test.
They can become dangerous and a lost cause.
Some bridges may even require that you pay a toll.
Bridges bring us together and bridges drive us apart.
It all depends on which way you may be going.
They bridge gaps. ...

Temperatures Are Risin'
Temperatures Are Risin'
Temperatures are risin'
as she is walkin' beside me
and I wonder if she realizes
she is making history.
With every step that she is takin'
she's makin' every man's head turn.
I wonder if she does tutorin'
because she makes me wanna learn?
Yes I would love to go
to the head of her class
just to be a little closer
to that sexy …
I would never be tardy.
I would be the teacher's pet
and detention would be somethin'
I would never forget!

We Are All Equal
We Are All Equal
Take a look at yourself.
Now, what do you see?
Do you see a true, caring person?
Such is rare to be.
When you look at somebody
do you judge them right away?
Do you base your opinions
by only what you can see
without getting to know
the kind of person they are?
If so you are merely
one of the majority,
a member of our shallow
society.

Virus
Like I, a virus
comes and goes around
like some moth at your front door,
at your light on this dark and lovely starlit night.
But not just your light.
You are the light,
my light and I, the virus
flutter about to no avail.
I cannot get past your defenses.
In time, eventually I, the virus
give in and fly away,
fly away to another light that catches the eye.
In the end the results being the same.
This is the life of the virus.

Alone
Alone
Now I may not have a whole lot of money
and I am lacking in material things.
I am not the best dressed
and not the best looking.
I will not be buying you expensive rings.
What I have a lot of is what you cannot see
but it is there and it is so very real.
Somewhere somehow some plan seems to be made
to where in your view I do not appeal.
I want to do more than tell you I love you.
I want to show you in so many ways.
I want to take you out and do whatever you want.
I want to share with you all...

The One
The One
I want to climb to the top of that tree
and touch the sky.
I want to pass my hands through the clouds
without ever wondering why.
And I want to watch the birds soar.
Yes.
This is what is meant to be free.
All I want is an escape occasionally.
I want to find you and bring you with me
because you are my love.
I want you to be with me when I have reached
that high up above.
And I want to pass your hands through that cloud,
perhaps then you will understand
what it is I feel for you and why...

A Rose On Your Pillow
May I -
Place a rose on your pillow
to help your day be worthwhile?
Every morning a symbol
of your lovely smile.

Whisper my love
into your precious ear?
As you sleep may I look
on your beauty sincere?
When you wake with that smile
may I be blessed with your kiss?
May I tell you my feelings
every morning like this?
May we -
Lie for a while
before starting the day
spending time simply talking
about whatever we may?

Blackie's Poem
Blackie's Poem
We walked outside,
you right beside me
and we would go wherever
we wanted to go.
Every day we would walk,
our special time together,
unless there was rain
but even you did not mind the snow.
You would smell the bushes
and eat grass a little.
You would run across now, “Blackie's Field,”
paws up on your favorite tree.
Yeah, we walked around
and you became quite famous
for the cat that you had come to be.
Now I still walk with Midas and Baxter
as I...

The Fog
The Fog
Tonight is the night of the fog.
It always comes this time each year.
The people lock themselves inside
and pray to God that HE will hear.
The people have tried to get away.
It seems to follow, they are its prey
as one by one they disappear.
Every year a year of fear.
And now the fog is crawling in.
From it screams are heard, trapped souls within.
Mothers hold their children tight.
Fathers watch it close in sight.
How far away sounds the church bell!
Does prayer escape? 'Tis hard...

Billy and Bobby Greenfrog
BILLY AND BOBBY GREENFROG
Billy and Bobby Greenfrog lived in the pond behind the Sutter place. The two shared a lily pad on the
eastern side of the pond. Billy and Bobby were talking one day. Billy said, “Bobby, I have been thinking of
moving to a lily pad in the center of the pond. They are bigger there and we are getting cramped on this
little pad with all of our stuff.”
Bobby replied, “We sure are Billy but how are we going to move? We collected
all of this stuff when we were already living here. That...

Alexander The Great
ALEXANDER THE GREAT
Alexander watched through the glass of his cubicle as the people moved around the store. Sometimes people would stop at his cubicle and look in at him. They would smile at him and tap on the glass of his cubicle, sometimes talking to him.
“What a cute Persian cat!” some would say. “Orange, almost a fire orange!” Then they would walk away.
Alexander could not hear what they were saying to him from inside the cubicle of course, separated from the people by the glass but he knew that they were talking to him. He would...
