 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.

Bestselling, again and again.

Love fantasy being supplied.

To improve my skills on romance.

 Business Opportunity


His secretary I became.

He is a very wealthy man.

Catching the old guy was my aim,

Divorced his wife in short time span,

Having fallen in love with me.

Even with divorce settlement,

He still had plenty of money,

And I dreamed how it would be spent.

Each day he turned more frail and ill.

I hurried up our wedding date,

The legality to fulfill,

And close the deal before too late.


Now ring  around my finger, and

Soon, wealthy widow as I planned.

 The Talk


The father's son has reached the age

When it is time to have the talk.

Difficult subject to engage,

But according to nature's clock,

The son needs given knowledge of

What the father learned long ago,

Difference between young lust and love,

Facts of life the son needs to know.

So at the kitchen table they

Come together, each takes a seat.

And the father begins to say

Why he has asked the two to meet.


Father and son, the talk to be

Made easier o'er pot of tea.

 Bullying


I was bullied some as a kid,

And I was a bully some back.

It was just stuff most of us did,

Getting and giving dumb attack.

As I grew up, luckily I

Learned the hard way a bully is

A very ugly trait in my

Behavior, so made it my biz

To no more bully any way,

Even if I be bullied, and

When bullying comes on display,

Find strength in me, best understand.


My question when bullying's done,

How will I be a helpful one?

 With Happy, Without Worry


Worry and I were walking down

The road, suddenly we got stuck

In a mud hole, Worry did frown,

Complaining typical bad luck.

But then, Happy walked up to us,

Offering to pull us both out.

Worry's reply was just to cuss,

Did not want Happy's help, no doubt.

Then Happy looked at me and said,

"Stay with Worry or come with me."

"We'll look for good in life instead"

"Of stuck bad here like Worry be."


With Happy, we walked on our way.

Worry, stuck in the mud, did stay.

 I Pray for My Friend


Oh God, You once gave me the gift

Of saving me from suicide,

Body, mind and soul to uplift,

With lots of human help supplied.

Oh God, I now know of a friend

In great despair as I once be,

Thinking an unnatural end

As solution, once thought by me.

Oh God, as human help I ask

You give me strength and wisdom to

Be there for my friend, and do task,

Convincing life's worth does come true.


Oh God, I pray same gift You gave

Me, please give, my friend's life to save.

 Beyond This My Life


Since birth, in my life I have had

God, and I strive to live God's will.

But over my life, I've lived bad,

Letting me be sinfully ill,

Hurting my family and friends.

Then to me some strangers God sent

To help me, and I made amends.

With any sin now, I repent

In a heartfelt and truthful way,

Knowing that God is with me to

Give me strength and faith as I pray

For God's salvation to come true.


With God in my life to forgive

My sins, eternally I'll live.

 8/8, The Lion's Gate


This August 8th, early morn, I

Wrote, "I'm ready to forgive me."

The Sun's in Leo in the sky,

And star Sirius again be

Seen, risen out of the Sun's glare.

Each 8/8 this alignment peaks,

Time a human can be aware

Of untold truth a human seeks.

The Lion's Portal opens and

Offers a window to see through,

One's self to better understand,

Opportunity to come true.


End of this 8/8, late at night,

I feel forgiven and feel right.

 Crawling While Hauling


Addict on Coca Cola, I

Do a lot of traveling, so

I keep an abundant supply

Close to me wherever I go.

Coca Cola folks are so kind,

Sending their trucks to follow up,

No matter how hard I'm to find.

I'm provided great service, yup!

Whenever running low, I just

Send Coca Cola my email,

And very quickly I can trust,

Coca Cola comes to this snail.


Drinking Coca Cola goes well,

Suck lots from storage in my shell.

 Escape to Mars


The spaceship took off from Earth, and

Carried a family on course

To planet Mars where they did land.

Because they had great wealth resource,

Robots had built them a compound

With all vital necessities,

But also fancy toys abound

To live in luxurious ease.

Worldwide nuclear war on Earth

Made their escape to Mars a must,

The trillionaire no longer worth

Much in radioactive dust.


Who is the first Mars colony?

Elon Musk and his children be.

 Enterprise Size


Decades old the Star Trek show is.

He started with it, young and lean,

Became a star in this show biz,

Doted on each dramatic scene.

From T.V. to the movies, he

Went with the show where no one had

Gone before in celebrity.

Uniform in which he was clad

Rose in rank and in waistline girth,

As the many decades went by.

In space weighed less than weighed on Earth,

Older he got, heavier guy.


And though he's built up quite a paunch,

Captain Kirk is still out to launch.

 Mind Forgot, Body remembered


When I was four years old, I fell

Into sagebrush on trip out west.

Rash o'er my body then did swell,

Allergy to sage by a test.

The rash cleared up, my life went on.

Sagebrush again I did not touch.

No more occasion came upon

For me to be involved with such.

Then when 84 years old, I

Saw sage burger on a menu,

That sounded good, so I did try,

Without really thinking it through.


Rash over my body did rage,

Guess I'm still allergic to sage.
