Mary Poppins Meets Armand Duplantis
How does Mondo while the time up there,
As he soars high in the sky of blue?
Why, he visits Mary Poppins there,
Along with clouds, and lovely birds too.

Armand Duplantis
I sat, uninspired, in my condo.
When on TV, no routine John Doe
Flew above a balloon
And then over the moon,
That amazing pole vaulter, Mondo.

Once
there was a man
a small man

thing and it kept stretching this was when the
small man - who was a flimflam man after all
realized he had a workable-fraud

You Might As Well Smile
but i wouldn’t fault you words spilling from a loose connection
i forgive the negative
they are tied to your artistic temperament
your heart
translucent
exposes wires tattered and frayed
a myriad of internal cuts and bruises
i can hold such damage
with barely a touch
soothe the gnawing of varmints uninvited
draw out a collage of smiles
patiently waiting to

Armand 1934-2001
He died as he lived
Without making waves
Without fanfare
A simple man
A humble man
A loving husband
And devoted father
A man of principles
Of integrity
A dreamer
A macgyver
Determined
To live with integrity
And harmony
At peace with both
Living and dying
Ready to meet His Maker
Leaving with a promise on his lips
To keep over us a watchful eye

Super Armand
Tall and handsome was super Armand
Younger days spent in a music boyband
Older he graduated to a heavy rock band
With the stage name of “Collapsin’ Grandstand”
Last summer Armand took a cruise trip to Greenland
Because that was his deep rooted fatherland
Then a hop a skip and a jump over to Iceland
Tagging on a visit to his

For Armand Who Is Far Beyond
For Armand Who Is Far Beyond
Was needed in one way but another
In one he life was like no other
In other out the door stampeded
Because he was no longer needed.
Where in life would he ever be
By us we should see him equally
He had your best interest at heart
But now you both are miles apart.
What happened is

She's Dry - Written Especially For Armand
She’s as dry as a woman can be
No longer wet from dribbling wee
She’s got 'Tom' in her pants
She can run, she can dance
No more leaks, she is now so carefree

Armand
Silver haired sage with a golden tongue
Sixty years of wisdom has been gained
Today's the day his praises are sung
Body and mind have been fully trained
He sees the planet in his own way
Sixty years of wisdom has been gained
Living with purpose able to play
Passion is the special gift he gives
He sees the planet in his own
