Best Ritter Poems

This is quite a bit overdue my friends
It's an ode to Brussel Sprouts
Those delicious spherical bundles of joy
Not too popular hereabouts

Poor wee fellows just want to be loved
Along with the other veggies
They've long had a real image problem
About as popular as a wedgie

Thinking of starting...

Chocolate Indulgences  (20150129)

If I really had no choice but to divulge,
In mountains of chocolate I would indulge.
I'm not just taking about Snickers,
Reese's peanut butter cups, Butterfingers,
Or other grocery store sweeties.
I'm talking about the expensive stuff, most from oversea:
Fruit and nut bars from British Cadbury,
Milk...

A letter to you
Dear daughter of mine,
  Please don't cry! Please don't ask why.
For I have gone to heaven to plat my banjo. For the great Bill Monroe.
It will be not a song of sorrow that I play tomorrow.
For I will play on the...

there was a kidder who sat on a *hitter
he pushed long and hard for he was no quitter
but nothing came out
he left with a pout
that gritty old kidder was named Tex Ritter...

I am an American Soldier 
In the Special Forces, of woes 
My Duty in Iraq, gives me such fear 
Yet, I stand in the midst of my Foes 
I live and I sleep, on the Battlefield 
I dream of my family, back home 
I wake...

London rain and Texan skies
Warm my heart and thrill my eyes
Flooded streets and clouds for miles
Think I’ll stay here for a while

Bright red buses and trusty steeds
Carry my spirit wherever they lead
City bustling and cattle at graze
This is where I spend my days

Royal parks with...

Green grow the lilacs,  the old song still rings true,
  Tex Ritter and Johnny Cash sang out the notes in colors blue.
How is it I remember the song still so clear today
 as lilacs scent spring air of a sweetheart love with emeralds...

8D
my mind is an open book.
read it and have a look.
"Open" said Crow.
"We near the brook"
"Stones are there and
little by little does the trick.

Love the journey... it's the
Mother of all invention.

Blueberry and cherry, and home-made apple pie,
Country girls bake them, the apple of your eye;
Each pie’s got a number—which one will you choose?
Look at all those country girls, looking right at you.

It’s a Pie-Supper Summer, in Nineteen and Thirty-Eight,
Down at the school house—you know you...

Have All Been in Heaven

While wondering where all the time went,
Asked God to graciously give me a hint;
Might be near well when I was wishing
Or times you found me to be fishing.

Throughout life poems have been writing;
Were great and by Queen she was knighting;
A Poet...

After Goethe's "Ritter Kurts Brautfahrt"

Sire Gaddabout one spring-tide morn 
his sturdy dappled steed did mount. 
for he would wed the highly born 
Maid Ethrelda Holyfount 

He plucked his lute and sang an air, 
but scarce a league was trod 
than came a cry. "Beware, beware!...

She is so gentle, like a feather in Winter 
Covering the Creation, like a Blanket of Love 
Her touch like a dewdrop, blankets the flowers 
Her message of Purity, sounds like a Dove. 

She carries a message, like virgins in hiding 
That Whispers sweet nothings,...

they lived their lives by the "code of the west",
