Three Poems For One Day

Serious Is a Love Sick Clown Ignorance is the lock Knowledge is the key Love is blind Marriage sees You can't change who you are You can change what you will be Little by Little Equals more and more Circles lead to before Giving up leads to falling down Serious is a lovesick clown Too Dang Happy It makes me mad to see others overly glad It is just so awful sappy When people get too dang happy Moderation in all things Exaggeration floods into boring pain Enjoy it somehow without goofy shame Irritating loud laughter all the blame Shrill of silly Gives me the willy Tone it down Into a frown Then let me smile For awhile Turn the Dial Brother, you preach it, I'll teach it and together they shall reach it Slow down that gypsy soul Let the truth, root and grow Anything you need to know You knew before you were ten years old Hallelujah say Amen Sister Mary raise those hands Nothing goes as we plan Bless a dollar shake a hand Lift me up, bring me down The Holy Land is sacred ground Anything you seek has been found Just to be sure look around Father, Mother beaming proud Shout the joy clear and loud Something good is coming now The remote is lost, turn the dial
