Right Turns Hard Times
David J Walker
Only a scooter as if
a Scooter
was just a toy
The memory disguised
as an errant thought
Brought tears of joy
To a man returning to a boy
Before he could possible
die alone at home again and again
Alone becomes his synonym for a
A European Fone
Disconnected from
a forgotten number
Written on discarded paper
Memories default into faultiness
Thoughtless defaults into
a sign of senselessness
The old the deaf and blind
Await whatever is nameless
but next
The blind man on the scooter
Stopped at the corner
perplexed
But still attempts to fit in and
Cannot comprehend
The times and how behind
He has become
The scooter turns the corner
And he is gone
If that’s a heartache you’re drinking
Then to my way of thinking
You shouldn’t drink it alone
Mind if I sit with you, baby
Between the buts and the maybes
Go ahead an’ turn off your fone
The game is easy, there’s no rules
It only takes two broken fools
The stakes are high, but that’s just fine
You bet your heart against mine
You lay your cards on the line
chorus
I’ve seen that look a thousand times before
I’m here for the same reason you’re here for
I’ll help you lose that self-control
Out of a sad, weary soul
Some-times, the lonely takes its toll
So you like flirting with danger
Wrapped, in the arms of a stranger
Hey, we got nothing to lose
When your pride has been dented
It’s just a game they invented
It’s called the Honky-Tonk Blues
You came here, looking for trouble
I see your heart’s on the rubble
Freedom’s the high that you crave
Let’s pretend, that we’re winning
Start an old, new beginning
Fortune favours the brave
Chorus repeat
I’ve seen that look a thousand times before
I’m here for the same reason you’re here for
I’ll help you lose that self-control
We’re just two sad, weary souls
Some-times, the lonely takes its toll
nature is calling
autumn somber transition
falls kaleidoscope
leaves on trees so dance
branches wave their fone farewell
autumn's prominence
11/9/20
Less any objection with the missus,
versus never experiencing living alone
well...yes during that rough patch,
(sans during early adolescence),
I existed in a bone
huff fied impenetrable cocoon,
and just maybe before
yours truly dies, a clone
can be created from
stem cells of this doggone
melon collie, whimpering
beastie boy finally revelling,
where destiny does enthrone
me rendering unfettered
with round the cluck nymph fone
mani yolk hen pecking, nagging,
and leaching... from blood sucking
vampire spouse foregone
as a "bad" dream worse
than getting Rhode
Island sized gallstone
removed subsequently
saving said as gemstone
whiling away hours, days, weeks...
chiseling away at my gravestone,
no matter yours truly will get cremated
ashes scattered, liberated, and dispersed
finally exempt from grindstone,
where thee spirit
of Math Hew Homophone
Scott Harris appeased
as powdery gray flecks
similar to limestone,
that swirl reintegrating with Earth,
this quirky I poetically intone,
and soundlessly utter from jawbone,
perhaps communicating more
clearly by knucklebone.
Call me lord! Call me from out of the dept.
Call me lord! I wait on you, like the stars wait on the moon to be seen like the field upon the sun to live.
Save me lord! Save me from me lord! God have fone far from thine word, have forgotten the speech between the bird and sound. Save me from me lord! I am my own enemy. I hate myself for wrong choices i made, so it hinders me from progeress. Save me from the enemy of my mouth, my body, my weaknesses.
Call me lord! Save my soul lord.
It's another new uncommon day
A day that comes just once in every four yrs
I'm happy I'm alive to see today
God I'm most grateful
Facebook won't be able to bring up this memory until the next for years
I won't be able to check the memory from this fone then, cos I'd av changed it
More grey hairs, new look,
Wife and children hopefully
More friends, some betrayals
Plenty success and achievements
Better fones, better life
Older ( but younger in mind and wiser
Wishing my brother success in his exam
I love my mother, love my father
Love my brothers , love my family
My special love to Oloye Adeyinka Olufunmi. Waiting for your man.
My apologies to Tosin Oloye, forgive me.
I love and respect my BBL alwaz and ever
I love myself, love my life
Love and respect my friends
God bless NOSDRA zones and HQ
Love my colleagues, God bless u all
Till 2020, LOVE YOU ALL
Dialing keys- g r a h a m b e l l,
Ringing.....phone......fone.......4nnnn......4n.....,
Calling-Hello...............Hello,
Graham Bell............,?,
Talking,mobile( phone),I am,
Of the French Revolution, the mobile evolution, I am,
Talking women then talking phones,are the talking points, true,I am!
With any body,anytime,any way,any where,I am,
In Big,in small,in black and in white, a life style,I am,
Touch,switch,search,which comes match,such a phone ,I am,
To all the people lone in life,as a wife,I am,
Calls come calls go,it rings and it sings what a wonder, I am,
In Smile,in cry,in sad in joy,in win and in lose,there,I am,
Kiss the lips,kiss the chins,kiss the ears, how tired,I am,
In the ups in the downs,in the right,in the left,in the dos and in the don'ts,I am,
A friend in need is a friend in deed,look,I am,
Not a Gent's wear nor a lads wear but, just a soft ware,I am,
The prime tool of the Globalization,I am,
In the left,right to heart,where the pen was,I am,
It happened the world war,if not,I am!
let's take a look at the beginning
wen the matters in your heart mattered to u alone
wen like BoB b4 Airplanes u wer unknown
wen the pp u had on speed dial wldn pick up e fone
n u hid the tears that only u knew wer dripping
fast forward to the here n now
to the thunderous applause u hear wen u take a bow
to the microphones that flood u to hear u speak
to how ur opinions r published week after week
who wlda thot that dis was all id take
a lil fame a lil fortune wit only jus ur soul at stake
sometimes wen the champagne wears n its quiet out
those lil flashbulbs tha go on n off its cald doubt
u knw that maybe dis lyf aint so cool
its got u dancn to their whims like okomfo anokye for the golden stool
n honestly hon who u tryna fool
so uv got mags writng down ur salad makn tips
n women lust afta ur collagen fild lips
u knw ur worth more han wat uv become
but u kip lyn to urself tha wats ben dun is dun
but we both know hon..it's only just begun...

I looked outside today,
and it was raining away.
I smiled instead of cried,
i bled instead of died.
Hey atleast it's a start.
Im on my way to k-mart.
I had his arms around me.
Thats when i could finally see.
The world isnt a dark place,
and my guy doesnt need his space.
The rainbow in the sky shone,
and here he was ringing up my fone.
I ran to find the end of the rainbow,
so that i could find my pot of gold.
Instead a ran into you,
and all to late i realized i love you to.

TELL HER HOW YOU ADMIRE HER,
ALWAYS TELL HER ALL THE TIME
WHEN SHE'S UPSET, HOLD HER TIGHT
AND TELL HER SHE IS FINE.
PICK HER OVER ALL THE GIRLS, EVEN PLAY WITH HER HAIR
THEN PICK HER UP, TICKLE HER
THEN WRESTLE HER FROM HERE TO THERE.
JUST TALK TO HER, TELL HER JOKES
EVEN IF THEY MAKE HER CHOKE,
HOLD HER HAND AND RUN,
THROW PEBBLES AT HER WINDOW AT NIGHT,
LET HER FALL ASLEEP IN YOUR ARMS, THEN SING HER A LULLABYE.
GIVE HER A PIGGY BACK RIDE THEN KISS HER,
TELL HER THAT YOU MISSED HER,
TELL HER SHE'S BEAUTIFUL WHEN SHE'S AROUND
STAY ON THE FONE WITH HER EVEN IF THERE IS NO SOUND.
LOOK INTO HER EYES AND SMILE,
KISS HER ON THE FOREHEAD,
THEN SLOWDANCE WITH HER, AND LET THE MUSIC RUN THROUGH YOUR HEAD.
KISS HER IN THE RAIN, THROUGH ANY WEATHER
AND WHEN YOU KNOW YOU LUV HER, JUST.......TELL HER.
