 New Beginning

Just off the bus I've made it to

New York City in dawn of morn.

Not much traffic is passing through,

Haven't heard a single mad horn.

And so I jaywalk and stop in

The middle of the empty street.

Could be ticketed for my sin

If any cops are on the beat.

But nothing happens while I'm there.

So just like Mary Tyler Moore,

I throw my cap into the air,

Let out a happy I'm here roar.

The Big Apple at my first sight,

And I am here to take my bite.

 Day at the Zoo

The wife and I went to the zoo.

We stopped to see her favorite there,

Kix, a full grown male kangaroo.

Kix saw the wife and hopped to where

We were standing, then suddenly

Over the high fence Kix did leap.

Then right next to us he did be.

In his arms the wife he did sweep.

Then the two of them hopped away.

And I wished them both a good life.

But then later in that same day,

Kix delivered to me the wife.

I was real mad about the attack,

Mainly because Kix brought the wife back.

 Feathered Family

Mister and Missus Robin, we

Have readied nest in early spring.

And now four pale blue eggs there be,

All going through incubating.

We're quite protective of the nest,

And when the young ones hatch we'll each

Be proudly pumping each red breast,

Then we'll both get busy and teach

The young ones all about lives of

Robins as we bring by the bunch,

Juicy berries and feed with love

The young ones, mouths open for lunch.

After couple weeks or so,

Goodbyes are chirped, off the young go.

 Honey Fest

Honey Pixie and Honey Bear

Do rest to have a honey break.

The honey from the jar they share,

And oh so good for goodness sake.

Some honeybees buzz a "Hello."

Honey Pixie asks if by chance

The honeybees will do a show

For them with a honeybee dance.

The honeybees are busy bees,

But always make some time for those

Who love their honey, so to please,

Adjust their wings to dancing pose.

The honeybees do dance a while,

Pixie and Bear, both Honeys smile.

 Commies Keep Coming

The "Ain't I Right' song came out in

1966, the U.S.

Was in a war it would not win.

The powers that be did profess

The Vietnam War was a need

To fight the commies over there,

Or commies would come here indeed,

And too soon would be everywhere.

Since losing that war more wars be

Fought and lost by the U.S. on

Foreign soil and similarly

The same excuse phenomenon.

Commies the U.S. always fight,

But never seem to get it right.

 Skeptical

Always skeptical, yes I be,

But skepticism is worldwide.

Skeptical is not only me,

And to most folks can be applied,

Becuz most folks do lie enough

That most other folks always must

Figure not all is truthful stuff,

Grains of salt taken in mistrust.

So big pharma decided to

Cash in, developing a pill,

Cure for skepticism to do

For all us skeptically ill.

Such a pill's on sale I admit,

But of course I'm not buying it.

 Yearning for You

I see you see me watching you,

As you are walking down the street.

Though stuck behind this fence I do

Really wish that we two could meet.

High class lady I know you be,

With jeweled collar and perfumed scent.

Why bother with the likes of me?

But I would act the perfect gent.

No peeing on fire hydrants done,

No jumping up on passersby.

All my attention on you, one

Who's sure got the heart of this guy.

I wanna be your dog no doubt,

Just as soon as I can sneak out.

 Tulips to Lips

At the restaurant for dessert,

"Surprise me," the waiter was told.

With different I like to flirt,

Am always willing to be bold.

Tulip petals to me were brought,

Red and orange and yellow in hue.

Somewhat off guard I was caught,

And not really sure what to do.

"Dip them in this," the waiter said,

Melted chocolate in a bowl.

Dipped petals, yellow orange and red,

To my taste buds their destined goal.

A chocoholic I do be,

Now also tulipholic, me.
