Surf the swells, and care for kids..'
So very well, we don't go for souks here.'

Send me a pillow that you dream on, standing on the corner in a tuxedo suit
Dean Martin is a hero, and a singer to boot
Memories are made of this makes me smile so wide too
As does listening to you’re nobody til somebody loves you,
Fly me to the moon, so wonderful, the lyrics fine.
Everybody loves somebody, reminds me of me and mine.
Standing on the corner, joyful memories are made of this
Remembering Dean Martin’s songs feels like a kiss
Dean was roaringly cute with curly turquoise hair
A skater in pink roller skates, with a superior air
He was born in Savanna in a tiny little zoo
But he had been touring since he was two
People went crazy when he got into town
The zoo had a circus, with a tent big and brown.
They made a parade starring their featured act, Dean
He was the cutest giraffe most had ever seen
We lost a good guy within the last week
Name of Dean Parry Val halla did seek
A full military career this gentleman had
His family and friends are now very sad
We've known Dean since the age of sixteen
When we joined a life in green
A top soldier and tradesman for sure
Serving abroad in many a war
Tommorows the day he'll be laid to rest.
From all of us you were one of the best
The current climate won't let us attend
But we will raise a glass for this absent friend
You join Andy perks at the bar in the sky
Leaving us behind wondering why
We know about demons that you had
Now they are gone and you can be glad
Our condolences to your family
I hope it goes well. as well as can be
R.I.P Dean Respect to thee.

Christ-proclaimers are the worst punishers
In self-righteousness, little mercy, no Grace
Should one perchance fall into their "church"
Hindu Gandhi, "terrorist Mandela" compare better
Jesus is not honored by phoney pastors,
Church "leaders" and therapist-advisors!
In Africa, my GURU was hard, but not like them!
Among other "religions" grace shows its face - not here ...

Saint D of Adelaide only advised a breakup
Isolating the lovers, adults over 40 years in age
Then groomed the woman as he thought best
She lost her dignity, mind, control
When she disobeyed his least "instruction,"
He recalled her fights with ex-lovers - got his way -
Not the Jesus way: punish them, no let up --
Never reminding couple, forgiveness is step 1
In healing and living like Jesus (or AFRICAN Mandela)
Basic Christianity (John 3:16) exists only for Dean

A few weeks ago, he gave a message
I barely contained tears, repentant heart
Yes, I was in church, and he's an elder
Refuses the title of pastor. Deserves it ever
My wife and I can talk, fellowship, listen
To a man - divorced 20 years - pure
As far as this world goes, purer still
In studying, glorying in God's known will

Roger Dean at a South African college
And team, caught our singularity
The black hole, so Einsteins Relativity
Does not apply here, physics' knowledge

Amazing that at the center of our Milky Way
There is so much outside of usual gravity
Space-time, if a fabric, has massive debris
One of these swallows all light, passers by!

Dear Dean of TedTalk
about unconditional self-regard,
As you clearly know from experience,
overcoming disabling
disempowering changes
isn't so much about
stopping the habit
of comparing oneself with others
Yet has everything to do
with not contrasting oneself
prejudicially
against Privileged Others.
Baby Dean

Last night around ten-thirty
I heard my silent cell phone play
I was wakened from my slumber
It was about to make my day
The call was New Mom Bella
And the picture on the screen
Put a smile upon this Pop Pop's Face
There was Great Grand baby Dean
His tiny face, made my heart race.
His head was warmly capped
His cheeks were new born rosy
Bella held him as he napped
What a joy it was to see him
Barb, I know you saw him too
I felt you looking o'er my shoulder
That's what I knew that you would do
They were home and in the great room
Such a place of cherished care
Could see your presence was there with them
Could see your love was in the air
The phone was panned around the room
Daddy Dalton smiling proud
Grandma and grandpa Perry
Were also beaming in the crowd
There on display a family
Three generations on the scene
That had gathered there to welcome,
The youngest, new born, baby Dean
I was glad to be included
Through the wonders of the cell
To see results of Cupid's arrow
Not the one of William Tell
What on earth made the teen
Go ahead to create a scene
That should not have been seen:
That I watched and was lean;
Ungovernable feathers happily preen?
Only yesterday did Mum him wean;
Who had nothing thought but his well being
An off and on “Where have you been”
And to his mum “What do you mean”
Always for the dead tattered jean,
By expulsion angered and shooting their Dean;
Can’t this be the handiwork of peers, not gene?
Here's to Dean, who eats his greens, works out and fits into his old jeans.
At eighty-eight, he's now more buff than he ever was in his teens!

for L Milton Hankins' Your Funniest Couplet Ever Poetry Contest
Seeing his rival celebrity on the screen,
He is with envy green;
By him thought a fortunate being,
Of all nominees their Faculty’s Dean;
Only thirty years ago did his mother him wean.
A reason to be starving and be forever lean;
For facial expression keep wearing “The Mean”
No occasional reliefs to feign:
Jealousy should forever reign!
Billy Dean was a famous man
A country singer – I was a fan
It happened that I met him
He was all handsome and trim
When he embraced my waist
All fear of him was slowly erased
But when he smiled down at me
Dumbstruck, I would quickly flee

This songwriter came from the New Jersey town of Paramus.
He had one 1977 hit song that made him famous.
With cute lyrics and a catchy tune considered swell,
his release titled "Ariel" climbed the charts quite well.
Despite his instrument playing and songwriting skill,
that would be the only hit produced from his mill.
He would meet Denise Marsa on the other side of the ocean.
"Lucky Stars" was the duet they recorded full of emotion.
As a composer, he still remains prolific.
Up to today, many consider him terrific.
I thank wikipedia.org online encyclopedia for valuable information I obtained to write this poem.
