I once met a girl from Beverly Hills

I once met a girl from Beverly Hills
who sold a potpourri of mind-bending pills.
I bought one and ate it,
and my entire mind got negated.
It was one of my life's most forgettable thrills.

Guess Who 2

Born of Sicilian, Italian parents he was an only child.
His parents split up and his mother never let him run wild.
In a poor area of New York, he was made to stay inside.
His mother would take him to the movies. He was her pride.

Eventually they moved to live in his grandparent’s home.
Before they came to

The Dream

("Anagogical Moments Merit Badge", 2011, original oil)

The Dream

In a dream I talk to a young man in his prime,
A bit of a wandering missionary type
Eager to engage in spiritual dialogue,
And he asks if I’ve ever been to his
Beverly Hills sports bar called The Dream.

I reply I’ve never even been to Beverly Hills
But that it reminds

Beverly Hills Poodle

A pampered poodle in Beverley Hills
browses Rodeo Drive for her thrills
Jeweled dog bowls she'll seek
and silk leashes tres chic
Her owner smiles --Just hand me the bills

Rip Beverly Cleary

Beezus and Ramona
Are in mourning, as am I,
For she who gave them life
Has sadly picked this time to die.

Ms. Cleary published her first book
The year that I was born.
I read them as a child
And to my kids, our copies worn.

Not long ago, my grandkids
Heard some stories, which I shared,
Of characters so old I’d wondered
How, through

Beverly Written

Bite sized and sexy, your seductive lips
Entertained my eyes. Curled from end to end,
Visions of your grin inspired a trend,
Envisioning myself taking small sips.
Religeously, I would love to take trips,
Leading me to the place where two tongues bend.
Yes, signals like this are easy to send,
When destiny and desire take dips.
Read my words, and I will

Notes From the Beverly Hills Public Library

I have to pay a dollar to get on the computer
that's because I am no longer a resident
in the old days I had a library card
and I checked half the books out in the place
I read all day long in the library on the weekends
I still remember all the books

now, that I am no longer

Beverly

There once was a girl named Beverly
Who was endowed so very heavily
With a gorgeous rack
That brought you right back
To where she had wanted you to be

Unleaded and Unleashed (In Beverly Hills)

Complaining - the price for sure!
The brand  of the gas not pure...
TP was Gold then
In line like a hen...
Would love to give his rash cure...

Aunt Beverly

She sat at the edge of the bed and she said it’s some news I must share
So she grabbed the remote control pressed mute so I could hear
She had a sad look on her face so I said mama what’s wrong?
She looked me right in the eyes, took a deep breath (hah)
For u baby, I’m

Tribute To Beverly Hills 90210

Young hearts that start to race
Old flames that begin to embrace
A group of friends with looks that could kill
In a California town called Beverly Hills

He's with Her, She's with Him
Magical things happen as the lights start to di,
Love that's so true, it feels oh' so right
Just as pure and as fresh as a cool Autumn's

Horses In Beverly Hills

Concrete bedroom w/ lights & sound.
People gather across wet streets --
The click of a women’s heel --
Many clicks like horses trotting.
Herds of clunking mares fighting
for the prize.

Recognition in being the first horse
across the finish line
The first blue suit from Calvin Klein.

Our country is at war.
Kids are dying!

I know those things but do you know
when the
