Charlie Brown
It’s a treasure to have a friend like Charlie Brown
who can be serious and just as easily be a clown
he’s resourceful and never gives up
he’d drink champagne out of a used paper cup

Teddy Bears
I think I lost my teddy bear.
He’ll do anything on a dare.
His brother is thin.
He’s his younger twin.
They probably went to the fair.

Raindrops On Roses
Raindrops on roses last night,
what a storm it blew.
My garden got a great bath,
looking clean and new.
Roses wanting sun,
their faces are shining up.
Rose garden is done.

Bum blebees
Bum..blebees
On a warm, spring day
in…… May,
when there’s a hum
from the bum…blebees,
PLEASE,
just freeze
and……..listen!
For on that warm, spring day
in….May
that buzz and hum
does come
when young bees
are in a fret of sweat
learning their humming alphabet!
So on this warm, spring May day
when the hum of the bum..blebees
is buzzing lightly through the trees
just listen far and near,
and you’ll definitely hear
the humble,

As Clean as a Whistle
As Clean as a Whistle
The park is a dance of colour
as leaves pirouette and waltz
around brazen, undressed trees.
November, and the sun sits weakly
even rather streakily in the sky
while I fold myself quietly
into this soothing, autumnal scene.
BUT….. a shock of a screeching whistle announces
the arrival of Miss Bossy-Glossy Wellington Boots
and her thigh-high energetic, pointer dog.
Another

Volcano Run part 3 - Escaping the Ashfall
Part three
Once we were home, the bikes secure
we sealed the clubhouse, best we could
waiting for the ash to stop
but fearing that it never would,
All the TV news was dismal;
all predicting different things,
each with warnings dire and dreadful
of the dangers ashfall brings.
I dug out pairs of coveralls
and painter's masks for us to wear,
and cartons of

I Am PINK
As the sun sets in the evening sky,
the pretty blue turns pink.
Oh my,
I am pink for the clouds to drink.
The moon must go to bed,
the sun must come out to play.
Marshmallow clouds meet the sun's rays,
I am pink showing off this new day.

Volcano Run part 2 - The Ride Home
At crack of dawn we headed out
before a cock or rooster crowed
and soon we found our asphalt path;
at home again, upon the road.
That 'greasy spoon' was our last stop,
Where we each tended to our ride;
we filled the tires and topped the gas
before we found our way inside.
Once we were seated I looked up
to see the
