Dixie Bird

Dixie was a little bird
Who flew from tree to tree
With bright blue eyes
And feathers gold
She was a site to see.

From tree to tree
And branch to branch
She flew around all day.

Her song would reach the tallest branch
Happy, loud and gay.

One day Dixie met her mate
While flying 'round the trees
A beautiful male with feathers orange
For all the world to see.

From that day on they fell in love
And that was plain to see
For the very next spring the trees were full
Of orange feathered birds with eyes
Blue as the sea.

Gray Blue Sky

On a lonely hill
Stands a lonely house
Under a gray blue sky.

An empty shell 
Of what used to be
A reminder of days 
Gone by.

It's walls once housed
A family with love
It's roof kept them
Safe and dry.

It's windows shown
With the bright morning sun
As they watched the world go by.

If ever you pass this lonely house
Stop a minute and think
Of all the lives and all the love
That's passed through this lonely place.

And remember with awe
How life must have been
Under a gray blue sky.

'ouch'

A man found himself in a pickle
When his girlfriend found he was fickle
He said "won't you stay"
She said "there's no way"
As she took his head off with a sickle.

Mother Nature's Lullaby

Fall came to my door today
In colors of red and gold.

The sky was clear
The air was crisp.

As I walked along a leave strewn path
I watched the squirrels play, listened to
The birds serenade and marvelled at
The beauty before me.

Some find Fall depressing
They say it speaks of death and ending.

But to me, It's just Mother Nature
Singing her children a lullaby
Before she sends them off to bed.

Thanksgiving

Let's bow our heads and pray
Today's Thanksgiving day.

Poor old turkey got the axe
Bet he wished he'd never been hatched.

Turkey, mashed potatoes, yams
Consume mass quantities but never ham.

Eat too much and pop your zipper
"Hey Honey, where's the Alka Seltzer"?

Mouse Rap

There's a mouse in my house
It just ran under the couch
I really hate to say it 
But I don't think I can take it.

There's a mouse in my house
I'm really quite annoyed
There's some bread on the floor
It must have really enjoyed.

There's a mouse in my house
I just hit it with my shoe
It really seems quite dead now
Think I'll flush it down the loo.

I Want To Live In a Castle

I want to live in a castle
Where only the strong survive
With turrets and towers
And joust by the hour
And a six foot mote outside.

I want to live in a castle
On a cliff beside the sea
And spend my days with
The Lords and Ladies who
Come calling each day for tea.

I want to live in a castle 
On England's greenest hill
And join each day
All the people at play
And learn all their finest skills.

But I'll never live in a castle
It's Tennessee hills for me
With a four bedroom house
And a mortgage so vast
It would bring any knight 
To his knees.

Heavenly Eyes

You speak to me and
Heaven shines within your eyes
All I need is you.

Poor Jo

There once was a man named Jo
   Who had the audacity to show
   His face in a crowd
    No he wasn't too proud
    Though some said he should wear a shroud.

I Knew

You walked away
With a laugh and a wave
Like nothing was happening

Complaining about the lack of beer
With the promise of a call.

But, I knew.

I knew there would be no call
I knew that our time together
Was over.

You never would have
Admitted it.

But, I knew.
