The Sixties
Tapping on cymbals were seekers of peace.
while a young man will give up his life
in a far away land where the bombs don't cease
and there's just no escape from the strife.

Spit on in airports was their welcome back
after serving so bravely as called.
How terrible they...

A Ferocious Lion
Anyone who thought that I follishly picked a rabbit, a cat,
a sheep, a bird or frog as an animal for my impersonating:
must have the wrong assumption...it would be a big insult!


How would anyone see me becoming one of those?
Has anyone thought of me as a...

Sixties Sitcom Land
Hours of fun, excitement by this anomaly
being a member of the Addams family
I’m Bewitched and I dreamed of Jeannie,
our humble abode on Gilligan's Island, 
also lived our friends The Munsters,
the Beverly Hillbillies and The Brady Bunch,
around the corner lived Denis the menace,
so at times we...

Butt Nothing
The flab getting clearer
old age coming nearer
My own piece of meat
too bad(she used to be so sweet)
is a butt of nothing(and that is really saying something)
Moby  @ick I am
Salt of the sea or just an unkempt man
Unsightly stomach sight
causes girls to react in fright

Premium Member Feels Like a Saturday
My childhood of the 1960's,
all those years ago,
feels like a Saturday in my
journey nostalgic.
The Cowsill's song "Flower Girl,"
their purity of song, of smiles.
A daydream streams,
of running in a field wearing
my Keds,
a sea of daisies and lavender
as wild rabbits sprinted in the
timothy.

So much, also,
of turbulence and...

Happy Things
I was thinking today
Of things in my mind that stay
Sunny days on my bike
Riding to the beach and back before night

Of shows on TV after school
With fun being the golden rule
There was Lost in Space
And The Monkees at their place
Don’t forget The Beatles singing their...

To Steady Freddy
Thanks for your comments.....I love the Animals...even met Eric Burdon twice....
As for the Monkees, I'm afraid Joe has already decreed that I am to wear a soiled
rat- suit.  So how about I come up with "Take the Last Grain to Rathole?' Or 
House of...

Kansas Tornado
You could feel it in the atmosphere
Things were set to change
The girl from the Midwest was here
And things got mighty strange

She came from Kansas, the mid west
She was country through and through
But when she came in wearing that red vest
You never knew what she would...
