 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.

 Happy 50th Wedding Anniversary


For 50 tears, shared wedded life,

Begun as hopes and dreams of young,

Bound together, husband and wife.

So many memories among

The ups and downs through all the years.

The good, the bad, you both did share

Through all the laughter, all the tears,

Each with the other to take care.

Your family and friends give you

Best wishes for your special day,

Celebrating your love be true,

Holding you together to stay.


Such a blessed event does be,

Your Golden Anniversary.

 Always Dressed Appropriately


Mother Nature's four seasons of

Winter and Spring, Summer and Fall,

Each one Mother Nature does love

To dress appropriately for all.

Colors and patterns and fibers, she,

Does for each season, take such care.

Always sensation, she does be,

And willingly does ever share

Her fashions and adornments with

All present in each time and place,

To be recalled in fact and myth,

Mother Nature's fine style and grace.


Which season is, can best be guessed

By manner Mother Nature's dressed.

 Missed Again!


A kookaburra bird in flight

Sees a human hunter below.

Then a boomerang comes in sight,

So to a wattle tree does go

The kookaburra very fast,

Protected in its branches till

The flying boomerang has passed,

Missing the object of its kill.

The kookaburra then does sound

Its call that it is well known for,

Heard by the hunter on the ground,

As heard so many times before.


The disappointed human's grim,

The kookaburra laughs at him.

 Weight Less


Charly's a tubby teddy bear

According to awful true scales.

He has a sweet tooth, he's aware,

And so added poundage prevails.

"Go on a diet," says his wife,

But skinny, she can't understand,

A diet's full of stress and strife,

Notwithstanding spousal demand.

So Charly has promised his wife, he,

To please her, will surely lose weight,

Giving his wife a guarantee,

She'll soon have a less tubby mate.


Charly feels he'll lose weight for sure,

By shaving off all of his fur.

 My Living God's Will


My living God's will is well worth

The promise I will receive my

Salvation when I leave this Earth,

When it comes time for me to die.

My living God's will, I have erred,

And sometimes let my will go wrong.

But then when I would pray, God shared

Guidance on my finding faith, strong.

My living God's will, I know of

Jesus, my best friend and God's Son,

Always with me, giving me love,

Helping me live, God's will be done.


My living God's will, and I will

Earn trip to Heaven to fulfill.

 Pluto


A dwarf that dumb blue ball calls me,

Pluto, non planet redefined.

Since then, very perturbed I be

With all those pompous humankind.

Just because I am far and small,

Take centuries to orbit sun,

Judgmental humans have the gall

To deem me as an exiled one.

Named after god of underworld,

Another jab by human folk.

Insult after insult they've hurled

At me as brunt of their sick joke.


With my revenge I'll have rebirth

When I plow into planet Earth.
