My Magpies
Morning magpies warble loudly
Sitting in the treetops proudly.
Greet us singing, early sunrise
Warble loudly morning magpies.
Sweet melody always bringing
Early sunrise, greet us singing.
Synchronized, while twitter and tweet
Always bringing sweet melody.
Together when they’re harmonized
Twitter and tweet while synchronized.
Sunshine clear or rainy weather
Harmonized when they’re together
These magpies I am glad their mine
Rainy weather or clear sunshine.
Around, always...

Sand TimerIf I held all of the world in the palm of my hand
and it was in my gift to give or to take, or share
I would give it all to halt the trickle of the sand,
indeed, myself, for without you, life is hard to bear....

STARSTRUCK
I first beheld her in a play;
The leading lady on that day.
And every entrance caused a stir.
In a play I first beheld her.
By curtain call I knew for sure
That I would love her evermore.
For me there was no doubt at all.
I knew for sure by curtain call.
I kept the programme by my bed,
With her...

The Shadow of the CrownWithin the marble halls where shadows dance,
A silent wisdom shapes each chance.
"Outshine not the master," old voices warn—
A subtle art, where gifts are worn.
On gilded thrones, egos softly gleam,
Their fragile worth a waking dream.
A spark too bright in youthful eyes
Can summon storms from clouded skies.
Not dullness asked, nor brilliance veiled,
But grace in shining, gently scaled.
Let...

I miss you so much
Close friends don't know the pain I feel
My broken heart can never heal
Your sudden death was long ago
The pain I feel, close friends don't know
I can't forget your dying breath
Was long ago your sudden death
To think of you makes me upset
Your dying breath I can't forget
Alone each night, I feel so blue
Makes me upset to...

LubricantWe all love love, but all agree
that friction is our enemy:
when all slides nicely, that’s the thing!
Of lubrication do I sing.
The oil of primrose, asphodel,
or axle grease, or KY Gel,
one substance that the people hunt
will always be a lubricant.
In Kokomo, Kalamazoo,
rubbing, scraping, just won’t do.
If you’re from Oshkosh or Duluth,
you know the truth –...

Battle royal for loveSo many beauties to choose from,

My sense of duties they becloud.

ArtificialA super computer
Is coming for my lines
It thinks faster than me
By several thousand times
First it was chess
I thought it my domain
I can’t compete now
It’s driving me insane
It’s better and better
Not awkward at all
Feed in an idea
Or Tale rather tall
No spelling mistakes
Grammar precise
The jokes on me
AI ain’t very nice
It can write copy
Or a hit...
