May 28

It’s Ian Fleming’s birthday
The guy who wrote James Bond
Who always teeters on the edge
Then took a step beyond
Let’s raise a glass to toast him
Wherever he’s interred
And make it a Vodka Martini
Shaken but not stirred

And while we’re talking birthdays
I’m sure the C C R
Without the great John Fogerty
Would not have gotten far
So if I’m “looking out my backdoor”
And see a “bad moon rising”
Or think I hear Ms. “Suzie Q”
It should not be surprising
This talented song writer
Has written quite a few
And it was on this day in May
He was “born on the Bayou”

I have always enjoyed the writings of each of these men

Good write, always loved CCR. I stopped writing much in here because of all of the "helpful" hints. I like to use poetry to vent and I am a very free form girl. Not sure why folks feel the need to critique, why not just take what you like and let it go........I mostly do Haiku and free verse- no rules- just write..........

Wonderful rhyme Mike, I can relate to this piece totally. If you get a chance I would love you to view my poem "To Patrick, I thank" you'll be pleasantly surprised. Have a wonderful Sunday....:)
