I commend the apple fallen on Newton’s head,
Man’s gravity realized with a Nature’s gift.
I rejoiced in the waves picked up by Marconi,
Human voice felt for its living presence.
I was thrilled by the tungsten glittered thro’ Edison,
Light shone across the darkness.
I flew with the flying machine...

Give no accolades to the man so sly

To avoid some blame by telling a lie.

But he earns respect if he takes reproof

And the risk of shame by telling the truth.

When I'm at the Kingdom Hall, I do something to honor God.
I am a Christian who is proud to applaud.
I applaud God and you should too.
God loves me and he loves you.
When it comes time for us to give God our applause,
we should not hesitate...

applaud your own
my words are stones
throwing bones
dusting thrones
leave me's alone
ha ha ha
voices through chalk
gawking like hawks
feathers on ponds

puffing a spooned dropped
dripping from meaningful
landing in worded handfuls
just a mirage for clones
applaude your own

Quickly walked out swaying my tress.

Inspecting eyes stared at me in amazement
 “Baby walk with style!”  that was cerebrum’s announcement.

Oh hell! 
I fell down from my...
