Karen Carpenter, Relived
Granted, Karen was on Top of the World,
her passionate voice brought her Close to You,
We've Only Just Begun, her gems hid pearled,
her Rainy Days and Mondays changed our view.
Bless the Beasts and Children, expressed warm peace,
The Night Has a Thousand Eyes, sleep awhile,
to being Solitaire, Walk On By, please,
Make It Easy on Yourself. Rest a

Just A Carpenter
??Wisdom of Solomon 13:11 KJVAAE??
[11] Now a carpenter that felleth timber, after he hath sawn down a tree meet for the purpose, and taken off all the bark skilfully round about, and hath wrought it handsomely, and made a vessel thereof fit for the service of man's life;
??Ecclesiasticus 38:27 KJVAAE??
[27] So every carpenter

The Carpenter
He came over and over
I served dinner, even wine
he screwed me and the wine
well he uncorked the wine
fixed a squeaky door after the wine
that fixed my little heart just fine
all his screwing around was so romantic
that afterwards
we kissed

A Paid Carpenter Will Work
A carpenter for a clean job poised
And for a new ceiling I rejoiced.
Like soldiers' flag he did ceiling hoist,
His eyes of full true confidence moist...
A carpenter who knows a good joist
upon him you can't a bad one foist,
From afar would pick its sad fake smell,
Long before his hammer hits the nail.
The poised I had his

Just a Carpenter You Say
Song by Benny Berry
Just A Carpenter You Say
Look at what He has built
He built a bridge to heaven
That comes down to you
Will you not pass it by
For it shall be unseen
To those that seek
To find their own path
But those who need rest
From trying with their own hands
There you shall find
A bridge laid down
That you may

I Am a Carpenter
When sawdust appears
It’s like glitter from the sky
The roar of the saws
Are as music to me ears
When creating this clock
God gifted me thought
When my work was done
I give it another
Just as God has given me
This Gift of Carpenter

Wish She Had Stayed With the Carpenter
Joanne’s first husband treated her like a queen.
He was handy with a toolbox, and built her a fabulous salon.
I was in high school when she asked for a Cinderella stairway.
So the girls who were trying on gowns could walk down the stairs.
Making a Cinderella entrance, showing off for the old ladies.
The gowns she sold reeked

Journeys Suspend In Winter
Please, your journeys suspend in winter
Death's Cold on The Body A Printer.
Correct! To Death speedily freeze,
Not salubrious Winter's chilly breeze.
This you tell Your Dearest Jacinta,
I could same say to Christ, The Carpenter;
Asthma's Patients: inhalers or wheeze!
Often, the time to keep saying ‘’Jeez!’’
They are careful who cherish their lives;
If you don’t against self

Carpenter Bee
You giant animals need my help
Pollinating flowers in my care
Yet you are rude swat at me
To you I have done nothing
That deck you built looks so delicious
I lay eggs there I am not vicious
I sleep all winter buzz all spring
I never get a splinter I'm a carpenter bee!

Carpenter Bee
I am a carpenter bee; I feast on your redwood deck
I am a flying wonder who will boldly stare you down
I don’t give a hoot that I’m destructive, what the heck!
While you sit on your porch, I just love to buzz around
Give me enough time and I’ll eat your whole deck away
And I’ll run you

If I Were a Carpenter
If I had a hammer and a sickle
I’d pound Mr. Putin into a pickle
If I were a carpenter, I’d saw off his limbs
then to a guillotine I’d nail him in
If I were King for a day, I’d tie him to my chair
then plug it in to the electric grid
