Since risen dawn, clouds have been drifting in,
shifting their shapes, swimming above the sea.
There seems to be a whale waving her dorsal fin
My accolades to the moon's power sung in apogee
There are tiny rivulets where starfish cannot hide
Sea worms wiggling, trying to inch their way home
Nothing escapes the hastened withdrawal of low tide
leaving treasures to discover on this morning as I roam
Love all the accolades, my engine doth purr
This fuel keeps me going, that is for sure
Might survive without 'em
But they tickle my end
So please keep 'em coming, my grin to ensure
Recognition and Accolades
(from a very proud grandfather and father)
By Franklin Price

Recognition and accolades are coming your way
Hard work and intelligence are making your day
Not much luck about it; black and white, not just gray
They must say what they need and get out of your way
When defined what's expected, you will do every bit
You'll dance well in the spot of the light that was lit
If it's there to do, you'll surely not quit
But the job is not you and you are not it
Do more than's expected when playing work's game
But don't lose who you are in all of the fame
Make time for yourself while you're making a name
There's life after work, and they're not both the same
Apply yourself fully, no matter the task
Of course you can do it, if they only will ask
I'm very proud of you, in your glory I bask
At the end of the day, you can take off your mask
Love all the accolades, my engine doth purr
This fuel keeps me going, that is for sure
Could survive without 'em
But they tickle my end
So please keep 'em coming, my grin to ensure
Love all the accolades, my engine doth purr
This fuel keeps me going, that is for sure
Could survive without 'em
But they tickle my end
So please keep 'em coming, my grin to ensure
Something triggers three limericks a day
It could be as innocuous as a bale of hay
Or an amazing new invention
Guaranteeing love of our brethren
Aw shucks, but I'm ready for the accolades

Is there anyone you know that writes reviews
Like yours and my friend Russell
The answer is no, not in this whole wide world
He rises above all the bustle
Such a very kind soul, my dear Mr. Sivey
Must be made of something real special
Just about the happiest dude that ever there was
We all need a friend like Russell
Something tells me he's had a real good life
As he pours out his daily accolades
Seems totally content within his own skin
The epitome of a man self-made
Totally look up to and appreciate dear Russell
He's someone I'm honoured to know
In this day and age of our “me first” generation
A unique and a true loving soul
Is there anyone you know that writes reviews
Like yours and my friend Russell...
Methinks not!

Do I like to receive 'em?
You better believe it!
A day without accolades
I couldn't conceive it
I mope around moaning
My head hanging down
I feel like Eeyore
Wearing a frown
But sure as shootin'
Someone sends me cheer
And I'm once again grinning
From ear to ear
For the rest of the day
I'm floating on air
Nothing can depress me
No worries no cares
If you'd like to contribute
To my mental wellbeing
Send me some happy
My face will be beaming
