 Game Prize to Savor

A cat and mouse game we do play,

Same routine, again and again.

Better game player, I can say,

To save my life I have to win.

Luckily of the two of us,

I'm the smarter and faster, so

Leave my opponent just to cuss,

Another loss to me to show.

Today, our game did surely please

Me, as I obtained worthy goal,

A humungous hunk of Swiss cheese,

Now safely with me in my hole.

Through wall crack, cat eyeballing me,

A gleeful mouse I truly be.

 Spaceport

The first spaceport at last is done.

Many spacecraft can dock in place,

Each beginning or ending run,

Back from or into outer space.

All time, effort and cost well worth

Getting this spaceport built at last.

So flights coming to and from Earth

Can board and unboard very fast.

So each spacecraft wanting to dock

Must abide by strict rules set,

Obey by the book, by the clock,

In order for a spot to get.

Each spacecraft tied to dock has got

To have at least one astronaut.

 I Be Caretaker of God's Gift

Gift of my body, mind and soul

Is from God, and I always need

Keep all myself pure as my goal

Throughout my life in thought and deed.

False idols and impurities,

I need beware consumption of,

Thereby avoid evil disease

Inside of me against God's love.

If I be guilty of such sin,

I need consume good to amend,

Thereby cleansing myself within,

Seek God's forgiveness at my end.

All of myself I need assure,

All taken in be Holy pure.

 My Fighting Evil

I know that evil does exist.

I see and hear evil each day.

But evil I meet, try resist

Any evil I'd do or say.

Enough evil, I need not add

Any more to be made by me.

I need seek good in me, where bad

Confronts me as a true fact be.

The more evil that I do face,

The more wisdom and courage I

Am armed with in such time and place.

Overcome evil, I must try.

Confronted by evil as fact,

I pray for good to think and act.

 My First and Last Girlfriend

In the first grade, I first met her.

She passed me, walking down the aisle.

I like her right away for sure,

And liked her more, each time she'd smile.

Girlfriend and boyfriend we became,

And stayed that way into high school,

Where we began the dating game.

After a while, I could not fool

Her anymore, and she asked me

Why, even though I kissed her well,

Heartfelt, I did not seem to be.

A truth to her, did I need tell?

We broke up, but good friends did stay,

When I told her that I was gay.

 Sirens

On an island we Sirens live,

Luring ships by singing our song,

Then slaughter to sailors we give.

But with one ship, our plan went wrong.

Odysseus on his ship did

Order wax in ears of his crew,

Then tied him to a mast as bid,

For he yearned to hear our song, true.

Odysseus sailed past, we sang,

He heard, and begged to be let free.

But his crew did obey him, dang!

Ship and all crew sailed on safely.

Disappointed, ship got away.

We're not used to such clever prey.

 Record Playing Naughtiness

When they first came onto the scene,

Mom and Dad forbid them around,

Which I thought was so very mean,

But disobey meant I'd be ground.

So into the house I snuck them,

And kept them well hidden away,

To avoid parental mayhem.

But any chance, and I would play

Them on the record player, and

Danced and sang to each album song

That blasted from this groovy band.

Critics of them were simply wrong.

Whenever Mom and Dad were out,

The Beatles rocked and rolled no doubt.

 Coffin Making Prayer

I'm in the coffin making biz,

And had a new idea one day.

Lots of competition there is.

So on my idea I did pray,

Whether or not it would be good,

Instead of metal made, like brass,

Or made of oak or other wood,

How 'bout a coffin made of glass?

Kind that does not easily break.

Would demand for this be a lot?

Is this a coffin I should make?

Asked in my prayer, answer I sought.

Then a loud voice did intervene,

Booming out, "Remains to be seen."

 Retrospect Back

Oh yes my dear, we were so young

When we first met, and you swept me

Off my feet, your sweet looks and tongue.

Of course they thought a fool I be.

But they could not keep us apart,

And being both of legal age,

We legalized love in each heart

To bond our lives, though they did rage.

But we did prove them wrong, my dear.

Through the decades, the better off

Was our enduring love each year,

And even they gave up their scoff.

Dear husband, I'm so glad we wed,

No matter what my parents said.

 Metatron's Cube

Archangel Metatron's Cube be

Lines connecting to all shapes known,

Deemed sacred as geometry,

As a gift to humankind shown

For all to better understand

The whole physical world and why

All is connected as God planned,

That each can learn if each does try.

Through the Cube, God's energy flows,

Bringing divine harmony to

All creation as nature grows.

Metatron aids to make this true.

We each may use the Cube to feel

Its strength to help us cleanse and heal.

 This Snail's Pace

My backpack and umbrella is

Cargo I tote for any need.

And so enjoyable, gee whiz,

Strolling through the forest indeed.

Being a snail, my pace is slow,

Time to take in the scenery.

A passing turtle wants to know

If he can give a ride to me.

But I say no thanks, I'd prefer

To, at my leisurely pace, stroll.

I realize I go slow, sure,

Eventually, I'll reach my goal.

I let the turtle go on past.

A trip on him would go too fast!

 From Before to After Fire

A caveman, I sure like to eat.

But after while, got boring though,

Best on my menu, just raw meat.

Then I got hit by a gizmo,

That one day fell out of the sky.

I punched some buttons, and now I'm

Thousands of years ahead where I

Find cooked meat in this future time,

Which tastes so good to my delight.

I chow down all cooked meat there be.

Still hungry after my last bite,

A solution does come to me.

Since time travel, I have the knack,

And so four seconds I go back.

 Devil Plays Dirty

Sadly, I let the devil in

My body, mind and soul to play.

I lost to devil's game of sin.

But then, thank God, did come the day,

I let Jesus back on my team.

And with Jesus' help, I got strong,

Woke up from the devil's bad dream,

Got back to live right, not live wrong.

I make some judgement mistakes still,

But very quickly seek to mend,

And Jesus helps me do God's will,

So grateful for Him, my best friend.

Playing with the devil, I learned

Only leaves me a loser, burned.

 God's Rework in Progress

God created heaven and earth,

Put humankind in paradise,

But concluded had not His worth,

When humans used sin as device

To ignore, then to shun God's will.

Later, God's chosen people would

Learn God's prophecy to fulfill.

A new creation, this time good

Of the heaven and earth to be.

In God's time, the creation of

Perfect natural harmony,

Forever blissful in God's love.

Beginning this, God sent His Son.

God's work continues to be done.

 Catastrophic Nightmare

I had a dream the other night,

That my saucer of milk and I

Had grown to giants, and the fright

Was I dumped the whole milk supply

Onto a city express lane,

On lots of tiny traffic there.

Had I suddenly gone insane?

Because I am not one to share,

My milk, let alone dump it all.

Such behavior, a true surprise.

And to this cat, did so appall,

Only way to categorize!

To full saucer of milk I wake.

Just a bad catnap I did take.

 Retired

I was one of a team of four,

And did a lot of moving 'round.

Privilege to serve, not just a chore,

Whatever time and place be bound.

Keeping my family safe was my

Main mission and I did so fine,

Till a bad puncture wound, and I

Knew that forced retirement was mine.

But my family did decide

To let me serve another way.

So I'm still here for them to ride.

This happy tire does get to stay.

Hung from a rope on back yard tree,

My family kids now swing on me.
