Summer Vignettes
Cruising in a yacht
Sailing on the sparkling sea
Seagulls squawk above
Walking on the shore
Drinking sweet pineapple juice
And collecting shells
Taking a moment
To breathe in the salty scent
Of the pleasant breeze
Sitting in the shade
Under coconut palm trees
And licking ice-cream
Waves washing away
Footprints left in the soft sand
And flooding castles
Shh, listen closely
To hear the sun sizzle on
The ocean's surface

What Is Friendship
friendship can be great
looking when will I find you
will that be today
are you now looking for me
will our search go on and on
there you stood looking
oh you came out of no where
what a big surprise
our friendship is a flower
fun and laughs are everywhere
our fun and laughs turn
it all goes so very wrong
hurt and pain from

Five Cents Worth
I used to wonder, what’s worth my nickel?
A day adventure on my bicycle.
I’d look all around.
My choice narrowed down.
A large green pickle, or red popsicle

for sweet honey it sure is worth a dip and a dive

Who wouldn't want to date someone like me?
what's not to love!
I'm fun and I'm quirky
unusually charming
I like to be happy
and it doesn't take much
a kind word a warm smile
from a guy who's got love in his heart

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
