And root inside our nose

- How did I do?

- Well...

The instruments were all on song
And did everything they should.
The key you found was off the scale

And then it stopped too soon.
There were parts...Read More

Slope innocent cheeks and naive exuberant faces

Round in circles and up and down goes the delight

Spinning laughter and giggling all through the night

the seeing child 
exotic and special
an old soul

she had a history
unknown to those unenlightened
understood by the others

at earth age eight
understanding better...Read More

Little known virus billed with hype
is much like the elusive snipe 
look for clues and bilk mysteria.

take wise advice to wash and wipe
learn CDC’s criteria.

Whom I admired greatly
You always kept a smile

You said, that it was written
All over their faces
Your advice was always spot on
You...Read More
