Vanilla ice cream
Creamy butter on my bread
Calories pleasure

Sweet maple drippings
Creamy salty buttered toast
Add calories joy

Fluffy cream pancakes
Strawberry crimson fresh blend
Calories well tamed

Hot pineapple cakes 
Squeezed foamy apple cider
Calories for health?

Greasy cheese pasta
Sprinkled egg tumbled bagel
Calories full blast!

Egg pie, peach float tart
Brewed steamy milk chocolate
Calories heart melt....

"Silent Cal" Coolidge was known for holding phrase to a dearth!

   Presiding at laying a cornerstone he turned the customary spade of earth.

      The crowd eagerly awaited his remarks.  He thought and finally did affirm,

Waken' up to a brand new day. Hitting up the crew to see what's new.
Hitting up the homies. Let's see what they want to do.

As time grows by, the group gets bigger. 
Then someone will eventually pull the trigger.

A good idia will lead the way,

At the Oakland Zoo, a birth historical
Is neither fable now allegorical
An ape and lynx had a child
So gorgeous and so wild
With a lineage quite cat-e-gori-Cal

They called him 'Silent Cal'
  He didn't say very much at all
President about 100 years ago
  Seems like longer than that now, though

Guests at White House Parties
  Waxed eloquent in line and verse
While Cal Coolidge sat there nervous
  His responses tense...

We were 19 months apart, and it was clear to me
From the start that he was dutiful to remind me
That he was the older and I best bowed to him
And his every command or there would be trouble.
He picked fights for which our dad disciplined...

Naïve Lou
has no clue
about boys
and their toys.
She feels sure
she can lure
Cal away
ANY day
from old cars,
gaming wars,
casinos.
She just knows
he’ll prefer 
time with her!

Lou’s his gal.
Clueless Cal 
thinks she’ll be
frequently
there for him—
at his whim.
Facebook time 
will decline.
Girls’ nights out
will, no doubt,
not be ceased,
but decreased!

 *******
Should they wed
or...

I attended the funeral of a friend 10 years ago.
It was by far the most unpretentious of funerals.
Notwithstanding, it was real, vintage, and genuine.
The face of the funeral looked identical to my friend.
The body was well done, but I'm speaking of the character
of the funeral...

So you want to get to know me,
you want me in your life.
Your friends have said that I'd be good for you,

But can you trust their judgement?
do you think they know me well?
Do they know that I will make demands of you?

You see I'm quite...

CALIFORNIA GOLD AND JOHNNY REB
PART 2
So now we’ve made it we’re back in Tennessee
Don’t have to run anymore I’m in the land of the free
Heard the president was sending boys called the yanks
To take over our land and the money from our banks
Now you don’t...

california gold and Johnny reb
I left my home in Tennessee to find some California gold
Gonna strike it rich and find the mother lode
After six long months on a dusty and lonesome trail
After all of this ain’t no way I’m gonna fail
Gonna find me a river...
