Cautiously Landed On Condo
Birds cautiously landed on condo,
Then they were sure to look below;
Did burp;
Sang a chirp,
After seeing Trump stub his big toe.

Cautiously Optimistic
Cautiously optimistic bout the summer ahead
Sticky and warm as usual or a cooler trend
Hope it's a sizzler
Don't like to shiver
Enough for nine months, want my threads to shed

Cautiously Caught My Eye
Cautiously Caught My Eye
This saying cautiously caught my eye;
Should never let a poor dead horse lie
Not a sound,
Made around;
Go ahead and bury him and then cry.

By Big Wings
By big wings we were forced to fly,
Even when wet or soon will be dry;
We flew in curves,
Small and swerves,
In and through clouds in the sky.

Its amazing just how much
Time can change and really touch
Your life turning it around
Changing shaky un-solid ground
Of a path you were taking
That was crumbling and breaking

I Am Cautiously Optimistic
I Am cautiously optimistic
I Wonder what I will do for the rest of my life
I Hear violins when I dance barefoot under the moon
I See Jonathan Livingston circling rainbows in the sky
I Want to be brilliant in a big comfy chair by the fire
I Am cautiously optimistic
I Pretend I’m an expert gardener as I clumsily

Cross the Bridge Cautiously - Tercets
To the wings of our dove, there is rosy parity
Fated to meet when the light meets the dark
Between us there is a bridge of love of solidity
As excited, I reached the bridge with hilarity
Hovering above me were dark clouds, Hark!
My eyes fixed on the other side with sere anxiety.
Standing on middle of the bridge with
