Found that bread gave him creative spark
He would eat a whole ciabatta
Then knock off a fugue and toccata

Sebastian the Red Crab

I met a red crab named Sebastian,
Nice and funny one

Then he gave me flowers a sign of friendship
He says I look likes Ariel the princess of the Atlantic a
Eric you must be let you be my prince that’s what I say

Dance with me and he took my hand
Echo of drums sounds in a deep blue sea
Even Ursula the sea witch dance with us
Princess Ariel got surprised, oh! What is happening?

Sebastian what is all this about? I’m the princess and you haven’t invited me?
Ehh... Princess, meet my friend she’s pretty as like you
Ariel Princess of the sea looks at me, saying “I want to trade my tail for your feet”.

Premium Member Good Day By Max Burchett

by Maxwell "Max" Sebastian Burchett


I present these lyrics today,
For you to consider if you would,
An idea I propose, to find a way
To designate a day for doing good.

It is about time now
We start finding a way
That leads us somehow
To a brighter day.

Whatever it takes
Now before it is too late,
One little step by each, then a giant leap by all
That might improve the world for one, or all.

These rhymes propose a new holiday.
A new national day, call it what you may,
Perhaps Pay-It-Forward Day.
No, let’s say “Good Day!"

A day recognized as a time to remind,
A new day when all of goodwill,
If they can, if they will,
Do one thing for the good.

For a friend, or
Even for a foe,
For family, or
For a stranger you do not know.

A day set aside
Dedicated to making one small thing better,
Lifting one person higher,
Together, many higher and higher.

An extra, kind gesture unplanned,
Whatever you feel you should,
A kind word, maybe something grand,
An unexpected act of good.

Now is the time.
We do not really know
If we have one day more.
Now is the time for a Good Day!


Premium Member Quote Wars Sebastian Was His Name

Sebastian Was His Name


There a single figured stood
In a land that no man claims
Leafing though an ancient book
And Sebastian was his name 

It was the first spring of the war
And with victory nowhere at hand
The only way for keeping score
Was counting words scratched in the sand

And every voice that spoke that day
On either side, gave all they could
Until there wasn’t much to say
Then fell together where they stood

No one can say, the reason why
That young Quotes come to such an end
Or if indeed they really die
Instead by fate they just transcend

Sebastian led the charge that May
As text from scrolls fell ‘round his feet
The Huns where burning books that day
But he could barely feel the heat

It wasn’t ‘till he made their line
He realized, alone he stood
And all the quotes that he possessed 
Have done the others little good

With enemies now all around
And the margins closing fast
He set to pen another round
Putting all the Huns to task

After all the ink stained pages
The flowing discourse pooled like blood
Like the knowledge of the ages
Now were trampled down in mud

There a single figured stood
In a land that no man claims
Leafing though an ancient book
And Sebastian was his name

Congratulations!
You’ve won the night’s most honorary award
For saying that you felt the same,
And taking it back after just five days
Now look what you did, you made a little girl cry
You looked just like Prince Charming
Until you pushed her off
The monkey bars
Don’t you know you shouldn’t play pretend
When you hold her heart in the palm
Of your hand?

She was ready to be a princess bride
Maybe one day be your 
Queen;
But you had to go and deceive her, galloping away
Leaving a trail of smoke and
Funhouse mirrors
You sent a letter with an official seal, that
Said you could be her  friend
She really had
Believed in you
Then you went and changed your mind

And your words became so meaningless
Like a politician’s speech
As if saying it was okay
Would really make 
It so
As sleet came down outside, she shook
Perhaps not entirely from
Cold
Forever ended suddenly--
She was falling from cloud nine as you
Were falling off the 
Pedestal
The fairytale was done for sure, but
What happened once it
Ended?

Well, the epilogue, it goes like this
She dried up all her
Tears
Your  words were nothing but a heap of trash
Much like the boy who wrote them
She deserves someone someday who has both a spine
And a pair
Meanwhile, you deserve your prize, the
Award for weakest man
Our heroine walked out the champ
Because now she knows the truth:
Relationships don’t ruin things
Boys do

Premium Member Hero by Max Sebastian Burchett

by Max Burchett

Isn’t it what we all want to be?
Someone who all can see
Is stronger and braver,
Man of steel or greater.
Could that be you, or me?

What I know it seems
Is it may not be,
Hasn’t been for me,
The man on the screen
Who has been the hero there for me.

Superpowers are great
If that is what you are hoping to find.
If that is your fate,
I guess that is fine
Since that strength lies within.

I will give you this.
There are sure to be times
When we each and all are called on to be
The hero or heroine in some form or fashion.
Hope I will be ready for that occasion.

When that someone needs me to be
What another has been to me,
The savior from grief or self.
Courage to act, wisdom to share,
I hope then in me the hero is there.

Sebastian

Sebastian Sebastian
Tell me what I want to hear
That night under the spotlight, I wanted more than just
A kind touch on the shoulder
More than just a word of praise
If we spoke a little longer, where would you be
Right now?

I’m not so naïve 
As to think it would be easy
I know that love has always been more than
Just a little complicated
But baby, I’ll make a point to say you’ve been
On my mind
I’d be more than happy if you said you couldn’t
Wait to see me

I don’t want a maybe boyfriend
If I’m the question, then you be the answer
Because a guessing game won’t
Do
There’s no reason to hesitate
One word from you, and I’ll be here to stay

There’s no use running in place
When all I want to do is leap and fall into a waterfall
Of you 
And unravel in a sea of everything 

I want to see you in
Dimmed theater lights
Meet me below my window and run away with me
I’ll ask the questions, and you’ll
Give the answers
Let’s never be a maybe, that is what
I vow
Let’s be unbreakable, and unbreakable vow

Sebastian Sebastian
As you walk to your car, I smile and say,
“See you next week”
But what I really mean is
“Go ahead and rescue me”
You are the ghost pepper to my taste buds
The stardust in my soul

I set the scene

Sebastian Viii

It's the end of our era
It went by all too
Fast
I swore that I would stick with you, and 
That had been my plan
You held my heart just by the 
String,
You broke it oh-so-easily. So 
Before it had the chance to smash, I took 
Back all my promises

I'm walking down this trail alone
It's not as icy as I
Thought
Yet I lose my step every now and then, without
A single hand to hold
I am the only willow weeping down this 
Lonely road for miles
I bent my back to please you, amazing how it never 
Snapped
I believed all your excuses and tried
To make up for what you
Lack

You are no longer a child
But you still
Play on the playground
Your parents are the nightmare that made
You climb into their bed
They kept you from your happy endings, but
You are too afraid to leave them
I wish you were the man I'd wanted you to be
You would never change for me; it
Doesn't matter what I
Did

I'd like to think that I'm okay, though
The truth is that I'm not
You were the first to say you loved
Me
A fact that I hold dear
But when I dared you just to show me, you
Denied my last request
I pled with you, then turned to go
You'll never know how much it hurt when you
Let me walk away

As we both go our separate ways, I hope
You'll think of me someday
Meanwhile, caught up in the storm you 
Left behind,
I'll kick off my shoes and dance barefoot
In the rain
I know I'll see the sun again, because
It's never gone for long
You are just a mirage of happiness
A flame of false hope that
Flickered 
And burned out

I'm walking down this trail alone
But it's a beautiful day
I left your playground once and for all
And I couldn't be happier

Premium Member Olivia Thinks Sebastian Is Cesario

I have seen some unusual things going around.
There is this woman named Olivia I have found.
She is someone I absolutely don't know.
The strangest thing is: she keeps calling me "Cesario".

Here I am in this unusual land named Illyria.
I still don't know the fate of my sister Viola.
Olivia is a noble woman and quite fair to me.
Out of nowhere, she is already suggesting matrimony.

How convenient to have a priest standing nearby.
This way, the clergyman can unite Olivia and I.

Based on the play "Twelfth Night" by William Shakespeare.

German composer Johann Sebastian Bach -
Emotive depth and his “blue notes” were his music’s bedrock.
Having fathered twenty children and always on his toes,
how did he ever find time to compose?

Premium Member Sebastian Is Alive

Antonio saved me from the ship that sank.
For bringing me ashore, I have him to thank.
I am in a new land, and I am alive.
However, I believe my twin sister did not survive.

I must seek refuge in this strange territory.
Antonio says he cannot go with me.
He claims the Duke named Orsino is an adversary.
So Antonio wishes me luck and gives me his money.

Based on the play "Twelfth Night" by William Shakespeare

Premium Member Antonio Thinks Cesario Is Sebastian

The law authorities apprehended a man named Antonio.
I have never met him before as he is someone I don't know.
He contends that a while ago, he gave me some money.
Now he wants it back to pay for bail that would set him free.
Antonio kept calling me "Sebastian"; this seemed like an oddity.
This action suddenly got my mind to be thinking.
Is it possible my brother survived the ship sinking?

Based on the play "Twelfth Night" by William Shakespeare.

Premium Member My Brother Sebastian

Oh my brother Sebastian, where can he be?
I lost sight of him after our ship was sunk in the sea.
His death seems now like a great possibility.
However captain, his clinging to a floating mast did you see?

Captain, what is this land called?  I must know.
You say that it is Illyria, and its duke is Orsino?
Well, to the door of his palace I must go
and seek work and refuge as a man named Cesario.

I dare not reveal my true identity as Viola.
Duke Orsino is in love with a noblewoman named Olivia.
Olivia has recently lost both her father and brother.
Deeply in mourning, she won't be visited by another.

If you are curious about this story and the situation,
I will write some more and describe its continuation.

Sebastian dressed like a toff
Other people he would scoff
He was a snob, I suppose
People named him
Toffee nose
