Earl Grey
A cup of tea is what I need to start off each and every day
and if that tea is going to get me through then it must be Earl Grey
I am not quite sure what it is about that exact type of tea
is there magic in bergamot because it's so pleasing to me

Seated Together at James Earl Carter’s Funeral
God’s timing impeccable, bringing
together presidential adversaries, ringing
in the new year, giving us a chance
for revival. We hear about truthtelling stance.
We shall all pass into the great beyond;
Will these politicians find a way to bond,
Put aside their swords of tongue and lash,
so in heaven, no need for teeth to gnash?
Will these men and women embrace the

Parrots At the Earl De Grey
At one time it was said
From Hull to Valparaiso,
Or any deep sea port
Any Mariner might know,
You could find a body who’d
Heard of the old Earl de Grey,
Many had even been there
On an onshore off duty day.
They’d talk of the girls
Offering friendship to all
And of the famous parrots
On their perches by the wall.

Tears For Earl Simmons Draft
No more dmx
A vigil held. A body put to rest
Tears were spilled
A dog killed
Loved in life
But more in death
I cried for you
I know, not what dogs do
So rest in power earl
For a moment you effected the world
If only you knew how many people you touched
This poem just isn't enough
But it's

A Deadication To William Earl Davis- Where Is William Earl
Where is William Earl Davis?
He was one of my best friends growing up
From first grade to twelve grade
Where are you William Earl?
You whom nickname was Merle
Pray you’re alive and doing well
Where are you William Earl Davis?
Your works, you craft so courageous
This is not a web
Not natural, not satin nor silk
Where are you
William Earl?
He’s my

Tenth Earl of Kildare
The teeth are dry.
It is Silken Thomas
muffling for promises
among the rats in his straw,
jostling for a hand,
once wielding but now
scratching the toes of power.
The tongue leather bitten,
studded with the supplication to You.
A lament of request,
where a crumpled
cluster of bones saddens.
We can’t only touch

The Earl of Pence
'Twas a dark and stormy night! (OK! So I'm being a tad histrionic!)
The Earl of Pence was lounging by the fire sipping his gin and tonic.
Lightning flashed and thunder roared sending shivers down his spine!
Even his hound, Lord Percival, was so upset that he began to whine!
'Twas well-known thereabouts that phantoms haunted the earl's
