Dogs are smart they know
When they need a snack
Let outside in the yard
They know supper time
Their stomachs tell them
When they want to play
Or lay on the couch to rest
When it is time for sleep
When it is cheese time
With a hidden pill
When it is bed time
Barking letting them know
To go to bed early in the eve
Dogs have a built in clock
They follow every day have
Dogs have their owners trained
Rome wasn't built in a day
When the Romans themselves
arrived to annex Egypt claim
it for it's Empire
And seen the Pyrmaids for
the very 1st time
They had been built and
stood already
Longer than if you or i
or anyone of us present day
Went on pilgrimage to view
them today
Because in fact they would
have already been in existence
For about nearly a millennium
before
You or i or even the Roman
empire was to set foot upon
The Memphis Plateau
Where the 3 Pyrmaids of Giza
Still reside till today
The 1st and 7th Wonder
of the World
With certain of it's sectrets
still safely intact
Least of all
How they in fact
We're able to be built at all
The most intoxicating mystery
Since stepping foot on the moon
An elixir of grail proportion
Thanking you once again
Sir D.K for
posthumously bringing
this to my attention
A painting having an abstract background theme
Words of blend and coordination being the painting story
The word contrast being what was constructed within
Once you look at the painting your journey will begin
Words in showing the brightness of the sun
Centuries on earth living and still being among
Clouds overcasting mountains
Waterfalls dripping as shooting moving fountains
Beauty as the skies with the color of light blue
Today is a new day that one must pursue
The character in what the painting possess
One last chance to grasp and catch your breath
The feeling in how vision of the painting that is captured in words
What’s in the heart but is remembered in the mind
The painting having a touch with a very classy wine
Painting words with no need to say a word
Just observe and you will be the word in heard.
Without mixing two
Smelling is enough with in
A house built in it
She wanted a great big brand new house, among brand new other things,
and just to marry and be my spouse, she wanted great big diamond rings,
So I knew what she was about, when she wanted so much bling,
it didn't take a rocket scientist to figure out, money was her thing.....
But you can't squeeze blood from a turnip, my ol' daddy use to say,
don't build bridges that burn up son, you'll need them again someday,
You're never too old to keep learnin', work hard to pay your way,
Keep a job and keep on earnin' son, ya know, Rome wasn't built in a day...
Well, she just wasn't the one for me, so she went on down the road,
and as far as I could see, she could carry her own dang load,
Yes, I'm so glad she's free, and she left my humble abode,
because she inspired this song to be, another one seeking gold,
But you can't squeeze blood from a turnip, my ol' daddy use to say,
don't build bridges that burn up son, you'll need them again someday,
You're never too old to keep learnin', work hard to pay your way,
Keep a job and keep on earnin' son, ya know, Rome wasn't built in a day.
