In behave of justice is in behave of humanity, right law.
Elf on a shelf watching.
I think he reports my every move.
Santa’s spies have eyes everywhere.

Alice actually ate an apple,
Billy broke building blocks,
Cora counted candy corn,
Donna drove decoy ducks,
Elliot's eating eggplant,
Frannie's filleting fish,
George's geeting Greta,
Harriet's hunting hornets,
Inez is irritating Ike,
Jasmine's jabbing John,
Karen's kissing Kevin,
Leon loves Luann,
Monte's mimicking Mary,
Nellie's not-so nice,
Opal's organizing origami,
Penelope's pushing Perry,
Quina's quietly quilting,

Sophie's softly singing.
As an Englishman's home
is his castle,
I abide in my own abode
part and parcel,
but as I'm always being told,
by the trouble and strife
(Cockney for 'wife'),
how to behave
in my own house,
whenever the rules I waive,
I must ask, I have to say,
"Why am I not Lord
of all that which I survey?"
Who knows not where a wasp does wear his sting? In his tail.
In his tongue.
Whose tongue?
Yours, if you talk of tails: and so farewell.
What, with my tongue in your tail?
Nay, come again, Good Kate;
I am a gentleman.
—William Shakespeare, The Taming of the Shrew
(exchange between Petruchio and Katherine)
Love looks like blue skies, nay.
Today is the tango of sister twisters.
Innuendos don’t behave. They slave
over the mountains and valleys.
Twines of a forked tongue, devilishly
misbehaving, drunken in delight.
Good Kate, is she kind, his kind of date?
Will she satisfy his intellect, his loins?
Is he a gentleman, this Shakespeare?
Is his lady worthy of remarkable taste?
Petruchio, with his yellow jacket,
prepared to sting, with lover’s words.
Katherine’s falling into the Venus fly trap
as she plays along, bidding farewell.
Petruchio draws her back in
wagging his tail and tongue.
These heavy boots filled by Taylor and Burton
acting in real time and on the silver-tongued screen.
If the ballroom could produce such a tango as this,
Shakespeare himself would rise and erupt in applause.
it not in the way you make a man
even the quality of living is unstable
new zealanders are flooding into thousand oaks like
similar valleys for the corruption entrees

History
A carbon copy of the past
To prevent a loss or lapse in memory
Even when people become Alcheimer patients
History remains
The good and evil remain
No one can erase the past
But to learn a lesson
To behave well
And to teach the younger generation
The fact that
Truth and history never die
Pray To Behave Perfect
Pray to behave perfect modest.
'Speak firm', yet soft not rude.
But in injustice fo protest
to win.! You must, you should.
Holy Spirit to guide.
Truth stands sure on your side.
Confidence not to hide.
Holy Spirit directs.
Pray to behave perfect.

There is an undelivered letter
Called democracy
Because freedom is limited
Law is passed
To keep man knowing how to behave
To prevent man from running wild and loose
And to prevent man from fleeing to the boundary of wilderness
Voice of conscience here you are again
niggling at my soul like one last Amen
Breathe me in, but do not rob me of my choice
you know its nice when I can use my other voice
Take me to your right but don't neglect my left
you conscience, are my wholesome gift
Whisper to me softly truths I do not dare
for when my slate is clean I feel light as air
You conscience, are the reason I behave
the purpose I hold straight my stave
Drink me in and water my reason
be at my side, for every season.

Behave yourself! Or what?
What if I don't, you sot?
What if I did misbehave?
Give the couriers more than a wave?
Ain't misbehaving, ha ha ha.
Imagine me and a Grandpapa!
I once behaved. Followed all the rules. Understood what was "normal". My parents taught this, teachers demanded this, principals enforced this. Ministers expected it, society reinforced it, friends tested it, professors challenged it.
Then, poetry became my statue of liberty.
following the rules
and behaving normally
no longer appeals
I know my rights as a man
Behave
I know you have me in this very cage
Behave
I know there will come brighter days
Behave
These are the last days
Behave
I know He will make a way
Behave
Slave To Wave Who Will Behave
Have often found myself to be a slave,
To water surfing on in form of a wave;
Like me;
Love to see;
Best are those who themselves behave.
