To fill each tethered sail, the winds must blow
in harmony, while gentle currents flow,
and if good fortune wishes to prevail,
the winds must blow to fill each tethered sail.

To still the roaring sea the winds must calm
for sailing ships to play their faring psalm,
and when St....

His instructor said he must wear tights
Most essential in these sorts of flights
Fred said take them away
Folks would think I was gay
The truth is that Fred’s scared of heights

A falsehood, this sure was a corker 
His relations soon...

Smooth Elevator Operator
I truly am a smooth operator 
When I let one loose in the elevator
If it’s only me there my air blows free
Have got my own detonator you see.

Able to let fly with such immense pride

I’m feeling blue, but that’s OK
For I was there to start the day
But carried forth with steadfast calm
Still searching for a healing balm

I stare at the stark darkness ahead,
My hands squeeze the steering wheel
While a simple trepidation musters its way to my heart
The road is long, my headlights keeping shadows in check
I see the smooth path, intrigued by its uniform contentment
My tires and many tires before have...

A smooth stone, I stood by the river
Letting it flow over me
My tears it carried forth
My joys left behind

Gentle hands ripples brought
A smooth stone, I stood by the river
Picked up from amongst green moss
A life begins, a life ends

Polished and kept on the sill
Sun glittered...

Smooth all the way down. Smooth like a ride across town. Smooth the way you talk the games you play. Smooth like a babies but or a new paved road. Smooth all the time if it's not smooth it's a waste of time. Smooth not...

"Smooth Big Cat"



He was one of those guys you just knew would be a dud. "Be nice", she said to herself.

She met him on the upswing from the abyss of a dismally closed final chapter. He seemed to be unsure of himself, this did not...

Rough stones on seashore-
wavelets sweeps surface of stones
and made them so smooth...
