I’m gonna always love you
I’m gonna always be your friend
I’m gonna think ‘bout the times we kissed
In the pond or the tree or the willow mist
I’m gonna always love you…

You’re gonna always haunt me
You’re gonna always haunt my heart
When we slept on the sand, when...

Apple many varieties sweet and sour
Banana soft fruit many uses
Cherry's are sweet watch out for its stone
Damson like a juicy plum
Elderberry fragrant good in wine
Fig many seeded fruit
Grapefruit similar to oranges but tarter
Honeydew melon lovely juicy type of gourd
Indian gooseberry good in pies
Jostaberry a cross...

On one of the myriad bays
along the Maine coast. Keep the holocaust
at bay I said to Dave because
you’ll spend all day gathering
2,000 calories and still be miserable hungry.
An undiminished population of humans is risible.

Black spruce and balsam fir,
you can eat the inner bark
in a starvation...

sweet yet sour,
eaten by the hour,
with pips or pip-less,
none the less scrumptious!

We have green we have red,
and when left to dry,
we can bake raisin bread...

but even better,
we make wine,
that when drunk,
makes us feel fine -
It makes us smile,
just for a little while,
before we collapse on...

“I’d rather live in his world, than live without him in mine”




I’d rather live in his world, than live without him in mine

Being in love, we’re oftentimes blind

To the hurt and misery one can cause

We can’t stop or even take a pause

We choose to only...

The super Supremes, are just one of the groups
Of Motown stars singing their style.
And do not forget the tempting Temptations
Who stayed on the top for awhile.
While The Supremes and Temps had various hits
And fans of intense devotion,
T`was Smokey who performed my favorite Mo-tune;
My pick—Second that...

Quiet, the leaves drip from slender woody fingertips
as shadows cast spectral dreams that breath through misty lips.

In the deep the Sylvan rests against the hoary staff he grips
and feels the ancient magic flow between the rune filled tips.

Taken from a Willow tree on summer moon's...

Sceptical satsumas with suspicious rumours of fruit bowl disclaimers

A mention of cucumber and tomato being part of the starter,
leaving melon and grape displeased and irate

A discussion re:pips reaches a conclusion, they're not welcome in this fruit salad 
inclusion 

Away with tradition and starting a drama...

The soil and my wallet was exceedingly poor
Like building a house without any door
My garden needs flowers but nothing would grow
People were coming to visit the show
So I planted some pips looked like speckeldy seed
Compliments were flying as did those trumpeting bells
Just when I thought...

What can you do with all those seeds,
slick, black missiles that blaze
a path down your throat,
when what you want is to taste
the sweetness that surrounds them?

You collect them, as if they're treasure,
and curious grandchildren follow,
eager to play, sure of victory.
I spat those flat torpedoes beyond

I tuned in WEAA
Static blocked out
The true sounds
Of Gladys Knight and the Pips
Singing "On and On"...
My date two hours late.
My acne goes into a frenzy and
I've had too much wine
For the prescribed medication.
Static on WEAA FM
And
My pimpled face screaming...
My date two hours late.
So
I trade my...
