Best Down In The Mouth Poems

BLUE BY YOU

What’s Blue by me?  

Butterfly wings, 
the Blue Moth in flight,
stilettos, suede shoes, 
for dancing at night.
Moonbows and rainbows, 
in the spectrum of blue,
the eyes of your love, 
when he’s laughing at you!  
Purple Lupine, Periwinkle,
and Violets can’t be!
Forget-me-nots, Bluebells, 
are...

Took a cruise down a river of booze.
Pissed my pants and filled my shoes.
Now it's time to clean it up.
Take a shower and drink a cup.

The fever caused my nerves to shake.
I had to leave her, it just didn't take.
That restless feeling wouldn't rest.
So now...

Wherever you go, don't forget
Bring your own sunshine along
To brighten up the path you travel
Singing a happiness song

It's certainly possible, look at me
Can't wipe this smile from my face
Mona Lisa can't hold a candle to Jacko
Brightening the darkest place

Am I happy with my life so...

Have you ever heard of Miss Lolly Palooza
Lolly's a sweet young thing
You'll never see her when the temperature's frigid
She emerges at the first sign of spring

Sometimes a robin will try getting here first
It's an age old friendly contest
To see who's gonna be the one to...

Ill winds are blowing, things are turning south
It's a sign of the new order, we're all down in the mouth
But there's bright days ahead
Not yet ready for a deathbed
Next election, we'll surely be cleaning house...

They keep telling me time is on my side.
But I'm not sure that time can stem the tide.
When things begin to go down south.
And life leaves you down in the mouth.
All I know is to run and hide.

And with the passing of the days.
Life can...

Wherever you go, don't forget

To brighten up the path you travel
Singing a happiness song

It's certainly possible, look at me
Can't wipe this smile from my face
Mona Lisa can't hold a candle to Jacko
Brightening the darkest place

Am I happy with my life so...

Year Fifty Two


Oh what a glorious day it is
And happy birthday to you I say
Fifty two wonderful years for you
And many more  you’ll have I pray

Don’t look so down in the mouth
And pout about getting so old
Be glad you’ve lasted this long I say
Many...

What can I say
It's not my best day
They come along once in a while
It's not a big deal
It's normal to feel
Overwhelmed and unable to smile

The stress' of life
With everyday strife
Can sure get you down in the mouth
Think of the good things
That make your heart sing
Like...

Just because others are down in the mouth
Don't let it affect you, be a big strong mouse
Lead by example
Don't get trampled
Show 'em how to grin and the fires to douse...

Not Enough Money for the Month

By Elton Camp

Many old folks thought they were secure
And could enjoy life in old age for sure

But when their portfolios went south
Found themselves down in the mouth 

Even the money they struggled to save
Only a very tiny amount of interest...

Dawn was grey,
He was sitting in a dark aisle,
Steel was cold,
His  nerves were giving away their hold.

And then he heard,
A cry of delight,
He saw sunshine.
She was bright ,
Brighter than daylight,
Wrapped in pink and white.

She held his hand,
Moulding  her fingers around, 
And he promised,
"I will never...

Two daughters they had – Happy and Sad.
They had other names, but this is what we neighbors noticed.
And it is what we called them.

Happy was always laughing, smiling, joking, playing.
She was upbeat, positive, excited about life.
She was a terrific guest. We all liked having her...

Reindeer racks, huffing and chuffing - smokestacks
                longing, like huskies, to run with shining
                ...
