Homage To Bon Jovi
Homage to Bon Jovi
I’m going out in a “Blaze of Glory”
So “Bang A Drum” as I tell my story
With “One Light Burning” “I’ll Sleep When I’m Dead”
“Chained” to the “Right Side of Wrong” in my head.
“Shot Through The Heart”, “You Really Got Me Now”...
Your “Bad Medicine” destroyed me—somehow.
“Dead Or Alive” don’t “Lay Your Hands On...

Bon Voyage
Bon voyage. Out to sea. A luxury cruise.
Out to sea. Things UNKNOWN about this sea.
Cruising away with warmth in tow
One serene ocean was seen
While venturing out alone on deck
An orca had been noticed, a
KILLER WHALE in its natural home.
A habitat mostly UNKNOWN.
Bon voyage killer whale

Bon Jour
An eighteen year old sailor on the Riviera in the Spring
Mademoiselle Your smile can make my young heart sing
Cannes, Nice, Monte Carlo who could ask for more
I volunteered for the USO, so on duty days I could be ashore
I held her hand and said bon jour, i danced with her that day
Looking into her eyes,...

Delusions of Grandeur- Bon Voyage
I rule the World just for a minute,
And all I see is MINE!
A sigh of Time that feels infinite-
Some stroll beyond the "borderline"
This Galaxy, it belongs to ME!
Like Alice through the "Looking Glass"
How sweet this mental Odyssey!
Too bad it never, ever lasts......

Bon Appetit
Aperitifs and hard spirits,
With canapes and rarebits.
Delicious hors de ouvres,
Accompanied by tangy dips.
Tomato soup with crouton,
And an entree of mouton;
My strawberry red sorbet:
Makes way for my releve.
Bring on the roast,
Not with melba toast;
Poor lentils of course,are the ones hated most.
Don't forget legumes,are vegetables of course!
The entremets the sweetest,of the entire course.
This cafe's hot coffee,makes me...

Bon Voyage
Shipwrecks, Ye Sailors, take courage,
the bounty is beyond the reef.
Oh fortunate ones, seek destiny,
the journey is in your belief!
Turn the wheel gently, not lonely,
and share with the Captain of souls.
Bring me the gold and the booty,
and be at peace with your...

Bon Voyage
tattered, yellow napkin
softly settles into the murky lake
as it absorbs it's last spill
our names in gold, still legible
this ring, never fit, seldom worn
"I love you" etched innermost
I know you do, I just couldn't say it much
now I can, but you don't hear
it's cold out, especially on the water
our favorite time, autumn's change upon us
our old...

Bon Appetite Mcgee
McGee's oldest son, graduated from school
But McGee wished he had more ambition
Instead of a doctor, a Lawyer or Cop
He became an astute, dietitian
But, all in all McGee was still proud
And happy his son was now home
Took him out to the pub for a meal
And a pint with a nice head of foam
As soon...

Bon Anniversaire
As I walk out into the street on
a bright night in my dark brown suit,
blinking neon lights,whistling breeze
with horns of cars buzzing through the night,
I walk into the hotel lounge expecting
to see the creme-de la-creme
in the business world there,
The waiter greets*"Bon jour monsieur" and
directs me into the hall,
The hall is full of people I...

Bon Voyage
Bon Voyage.
Seize the day, my sweet rosebud,
It’s time for you to blossom and become a woman.
Open your angel wings and let your love light shine,
Embrace all you wish for, throughout your life time.
Find your paradise, at the end of the rainbow,
Travel the world and speak the local lingo.
Taste the finest foods, that are foreign to...

Bon Voyage
She thought she was really hip
the beauty queen of the ship,
but she made my life hell
so she went over the rail
hope she likes a cool wet dip.
