The Magic Tree


			The magic tree
			It calls to me
			It brings me whispers of things to be,
			Voices of the past pass through the leaves
			Speaking to me of things gone by,
			I hear the voices of the ones I loved,
			Telling me of their enduring love,
			How they watch over me...

Astronaut In Space


			The first step on Mars,
			An astronaut goes far,
			He samples the soil,
			He can feel his blood boil,
			The Red Planet,
			A new world to explore,
			The Red Planet,
			Plenty in store,
			An astronaut is super human,
			He has abilities none other possess,
			In outer space,  to aliens he has access,
			He...

Let’s Go Back in Time


			Oh, if only I could turn the hands of time
			Back to the way the world was in the ‘50’s, 60’s and 70’s,
			We used to have old-fashioned values,
			People had family dinners,
			Everyone dressed up for school, work, church, the theater,
			Everyone always wore their...

Life Should Be Like Disneyland

Life should be like Disneyland,
Everyday a little bit of Never Never Land,
Dreams fill your heart,
They give us a new start,
A delightful way to fill the day,
Mickey Mouse and Minnie Mouse,
Spread happiness your way,
And my way,
They lift you out of the doldrums,
Of...

A Good Mystery


I love a good mystery
A real whodunit,
I love the Hallmark Mystery and Movie Channel,
Nothing like watching Andy Griffith play the part of “Matlock”
He always figured it out
And revealed who the murderer is in the courtroom,
Sometimes he even played his mandolin and sang,
I love...

Time to Laugh

				The whole world is upside down,
				Need a laugh, need a clown,
				The whole world is lopside crazy,
				Time to stop and pick a daisy,
				Everything is who said, you said,
				I just want to hear good ole Mr. Ed,
				He was the famous horse who could talk,
				And Wilbur...

I’m Only a Polar Bear


		Gosh, why do people not care?
		about me, a Polar Bear,
		I live in a cold, cold, place
		I wish you could see my face
		I protect my young cubs,
		but people I tend to snub,
		For because you pollute the air
		way, down there,
		And...

Beautiful San Francisco


						In Northern California,
						By the Bay,
						There it is,
						That beautiful city,
						It’s the city Tony Bennett
						Sings of
						“I Left My Heart in San Francisco”
						Those lovely trolley cars,
						Make it so unique,
						Nob Hill, a street we all know,
						Fisherman’s Wharf, an interesting
						Array of shops,
						That famous Golden Gate Bridge,
						My Dad told...

Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow


		Yesterday rolls through my mind,
		It seems like only a matter of time,
		Like it only happened the day before,
		But it happened years back,
		So coming back to the present,
		To today, where I am now,
		I remember and then I carry on,
		I live for today,
		I know...

An Easter Wish


				Easter is a time
					Of renewal
					Of hope
					Of life
				Easter is a time
					Of Easter eggs
					Of Easter bunnies
					Of chocolate too
				Easter is a time
					Of family
					Of faith
					Of joy
				Easter is a time
					Of making wishes
					Of good things to come
					Of sweetness and love

Rock n Roll

			Rock n roll
			Do the stroll
			The sounds of the 50’s and 60’s
			Elvis Presley singing about “Hound Dog”
			Girls screaming at his feet,
			Elvis “The King”
			Rock n roll
			Has that beat
			Frankie Avalon singing “Venus”
			Bobby Rydell, you can’t “Forget Him”,
			Fabian, well we know what he wants 
			“Turn Me Loose”	
			Rock...

Somebody Needs Some Sunshine


			It’s raining again,
			the bad luck kind
			the rain that brings problems
			problems with no end
			the person being rained on
			doesn’t deserve the downpour,
			he deserves sunshine
			sunshine to bring him luck
			sunshine to make him smile,
			Please God, tell the rain to stop for awhile

			It’s raining again,
			the hard luck...
