Everything is ducky in their house I bet
I turned and saw the twins – Annie and Annette
Wearing duck hats and ducks on their feet
With dour expressions, they never look sweet
Sure, just ducky I agreed and we all had a laugh
The elephant, raccoon, me and the giant giraffe
Annie and Annette have been grumpy since day one.
I do not think they have even once had a bit of fun
The fact that they dress in ducks is amusing to us
They look stupidly silly, said a sloth name of Gus
He rarely comments, said the elephant’s daughter.
I smiled myself as these grumps came out of the water.
Wearing ducks as if to say everything is ducky
When their expressions always say the world is yucky
The contrast brought a bit of a smile on me
Then they turned and dove back into the Indian Sea.

There is
no Time
with Love,
for it
is eternal.
There are
no boundaries
for Love,
for it
is everywhere.
There are
no limitations
for Love,
for it
can change
everything,
right here,
right now.

Powdered doughnuts, screaming children,
Noisy autos and a silly red hen,
All the things everywhere, that, this, and then.
A week or a day, a minute, and an hour,
Everything all the time, candy that is sour.
The moon and stars and universe too,
All things everywhere, everything for you.
Big trucks, toy cars, tall buildings in our view,
Twilight, baseball, even morning dew.
Mountain tops, puppy dogs, yummy ice cream floats,
Bicycles, lollipops, Cutesy-colored post-it notes,
All things everywhere, everything I want for you.

I lack greater vision and light than I hope for in God
more feeling and wisdom...

I am grateful for being able to see
how everything on this planet is a miracle to me…
And I think we should spend more time enjoying each miracle
wherever on Earth when we find them…
And less time arguing and fighting
about which God may have designed them.

The mind change from that all,
Never conditions betray,
When trusted and broke
Again can you do?
No, I think,but yes, I do,
Again make fool ownself
And think as all positive,
You know?I got it!
Only by positive approach.

Whether we’re everyday people, politicians, paupers or kings
may we be blessed to understand…we do not know everything…
And why is that a blessing…because around every turn
It means, since we don’t know everything…
we still have a lot to learn.

Everything I buy is delivered in enormous trucks
not milk, cheese, meat and bread, right? asks a naysayer.
No. They are delivered in a car by my butler, Bucks.
Because I do not like to go into stores, said the mayor.

Love me,
goddamn it,
just love me.
I
know that
I'm worthy
or deserving of
something,
at
least,
don't make
me have
to
get on
my knees
and beg again.
Oh, wait,
I forgot-
I'm not
allowed
to be
vulnerable.

I didn't lose it
I gave it away
To whom that I gave it
I know it will stay
Safe and secure
'Til perhaps a someday
When we'll be together
If she still says okay

he’s a puppy, everything goes into his mouth
piece of paper, spiral notebook, birthday card, screwdriver,
glass lightbulb, copper spring, nail gun, jewelry,
When we hear his teeth clicking we try to see what he has
He runs from us
Fishing it out is not an option
He has super large teeth
We have to trade him something

Years of growth, years of wonder.
Years of thought, years of plunder.
Years of dreaming, years of hopes.
Years of late nights, years of beers.
Years of baggage, years of stress.
Years of commitments, years of doubts.
Years of love, years of responsibilities.
Years of pressure, years of strain.
Years of mortgage, years of pain.
Years of fatigue, years of wine.
Years of laughter, years of sorrow.
Years of yesterdays, years of tomorrows.
Years of promises, years of memories.
Years of silence, years of fears.
Years of loss, years of tears.

There’s a song without music I hum
While I wait for your call every night
And the lyrics that usually come
“You’re my everything, you’re the light”
But the rest I’ve forgotten, exept
That together-forever trope
And of course there were tears I wept
And most likely, the blessings of hope
Though it all may not matter this time
But it does, even more so at night
It’s the reason that keeps me in rhyme
“You’re my everything, you’re the light".

And there you were in front of me
Standing in full view
A floral dress and comfy shoes
That first time I saw you
And then that night you came to me
From no where so it seemed
I don't know why, but it was nice
That first time that I dreamed
And then one day I found us there
Together on the stage
I got to stand across from you
That first time that we played
Those "chance meetings", occurrences
Born not through stress or strife
Without one's knowledge or consent
Those first times change one's life

Achoo! Sneeze! I sat up on my knees,
I glare into the darkness, while Claire makes a cup of tea,
Oh please give me some peas, I cried as I sighed,
They took away all of my food and my mood dropped,
They even took away my shoes, but they can’t take away you, but they do!
I screamed in pain, but they think it’s lame,
They took away everything so all was done, but I never gave them my gun!!
