To my Em

A letter received with glee, read with happiness, wrote with love,
           Sent in faith, dreamed with hope, with prayers prayed over it. 
            Oh, friend I miss you so, miss your smile,

Shake em, baby

There was a young man from Caracas
Who proved very good with maracas  
He played them so loud
Pleasing the crowd
But eventually, he drove us crackers

Premium Memberdecorum for 'em

It’s quite clear that you misunderstood
the distinction between ‘could’ and ‘would’. 
But before we get there,
if you even still care,
is the matter of whether one should.

Work Em

Push 'em, pull 'em, dip 'em, and squat'em.
Whatever you do, just don't neglect 'em

Aptly say no to loose and flabby
And yes, to tight 'cause loose is too shabby

No gym membership, Bowflex, or Peloton?
No worries 'cause pushing, pulling, dipping and squatting
will never be outdone

The mission is to push, pull, dip, and drop
So look good, feel good,

Rollin' 'Em

I ain't never been a friend of good luck
Unkind are the power balls, scratch-offs, and all that stuff
But I'm feeling good about these
So much so that they got me down on my knees
I got 'em
I feel 'em
They're in my hands
I'm blowin' 'em
I'm shakin' 'em
I'm takin' a chance
They're mind
And I'm shootin'
'Cause I'm a shooter
Pass or Crap

30 Em 9

30 em 9

Em dez dias 
vindouros, 
mulher 
brilhante,
a sonoridade 
ecoa em 
cada decisão.

Fazer mais 
com menos, 
em cada passo,
Bella e Vaidosa, 
continua
em frente,
surpreende 
o mundo, 
e faz em 9
muito mais
e mais.

Premium MemberWish I Could Live 'Em Again

Remember your very first movie?
I surely remember mine
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
It was nineteen thirty-nine!

Went to a matinee with my parents
“Sit still!” my mother said
A movie a newsreel and a funny cartoon
Still dancing around in my head!

I remember being really frightened
By the sight of the wicked old Queen
Soon as Dopey came bouncing along
Happy times

Em Frente

Em frente

Então, aqui 
estou eu, 
na terça-feira
com um sorriso 
no rosto e 
um propósito
na mente
crio uma 
transformação
mágica:
fazer 
a diferença
e fazer 
com pouco
mais e mais.
