Ladies and gentlemen of wealth and riches,
and also you, you poor sons of bwitches ~
mark well what I say,
and rejoice for the day,
when God will finally have worked out all of the glitches.
Another shot he didn't need
adrenaline his veins would bleed
What gentleman would not revel in
a date who looks like Marilyn

________________________________________________________________
gentlemen's eclipse
lost their unerring concerns~
tossed both love and drive
seek a sense of pride
gentlemen wander astray~
puzzled by their dreams
outsider to love
neither mental nor blunt grit~
are the gents missing?
It revivals the obvious
scripting fun and pleasure
a mix that is as addictive as
anything one could
find needing
octave monte' in ranges
situated between measures
a sound that is different than the
sound
that it mad by the musician who
chore to be perfect and
more on time
Six Double Basses provided
the deep sound
along with a Tuba, 6 bassoons
and a flute that glided
on the warm summery air that
was fragrant with a Monte Cristo scented
dining area
we awaited lunch as we were hungry from
a day of rehearsal
salad and sandwiches with a
raspberry-tea and French Macaroons
she wrote the lyric here
she said it was from being in love with what
was going on.
" I watched her want to be
with someone she thought
was out of her League
I took the opportunity to be
someone she would the envy"
"What makes perfect the night
from the start of a lovely day"
Beep beep beep
The motor is running, everything is in place
My heavy breathing fogs up the glass placed in front of my face
The various buttons, I want to press them, such a colorful display
Ladies and gentlemen, we’re making history today
I feel trapped by the crushing pressure, I let out a loud wail
Every moment counts, I’m about to drown, we’ve done it, we’ve tipped the scale
And just for a moment, for a split second, my rocket ship leads me astray
Everything breaks, I fall out the airlock, infinity pulls me away
My crew mates betray me, they cut off my chord, they say I can be on my own
Everything’s dark besides the stars in the sky, so far, so cold, so unknown
Then I turn my head, my eyes are so blurry but I see the earth in its grace
Ladies and gentlemen, I regret to inform you, we, are floating in space
Gently probing her vulnerabilities
seeking only the slightest advantage
He parries her feints most delicately
awaiting an opening to do some damage...
When she, shockingly, reveals a secret so deep
then casts aside his sword to weep
and declare: A man who jousts with a lady fair
is mete to unseat in her heart's affairs
where are all the gentlemen
how have I missed them
his firm extended handshake
his perfect glaring eye contact
in his imperfect ways acknowledges God ALWAYS
staying well groomed
doesn't use profanity nor curses
trysts to be just trustworthy and honest
works hard read good books
says please and thank you
find the good in ALL even if they don't seem too
open doors for others men and children to
Well mannered compassionate
Patient, apologetic
Comforting chivalrous
Respectful, dependable
Confident, polite
Caring, charitable, complimentary
lover of humanity, forgiving of ALL things
When is the last time you held a door open for a woman
When is the last time you said good morning
When is the last time you wish someone well
When is the last time you shuck the hand of a stranger
where are all the gentlemen
how have I missed them
his firm extended handshake
his perfect glaring eye contact
in his imperfect ways acknowledges God ALWAYS
someone out there show me, tell me of where
where have all those gentlemen gone
I sure do must them so

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr. 2022©
Never believing that I was deceiving myself
(I guess it must have been a dream)
That I could ever be the man I thought I’d be
And not the man I am today.
Living and loving
With life ever leaving me
Ever leading me on
Through life.
I’d have taken time to be someone
But that time is gone,
And I am left here, now, alone,
With nought to carve upon my stone.

Officers and Gentlemen
I think this was the name of the movie I saw a romantic love story
of an officer aspirant and his girlfriend who worked in a factory.
When he passed his exam, he walked into the factory claiming
his trophy.
It was ever so romantic, brought tears to many eyes, it raised
a social class issue here, the movie was made before the woke
mentality and Me-Too took hold.
His friend who also studied to become an officer had a girlfriend
whose dream was marrying an officer.
He was not that keen to be one, broke off the study and told her
they could get married now buy a house and have kids
A sulk walked across the girl’s face, and her dream was crushed
She didn´t love him, but the illusion.
She refused to marry a mere civilian.
Devasted, he understood she had not loved him, her words
of love was fantasy walking down the high-street, arm in arm
With an officer.
The young man felt betrayed and lied to boked into a hotel
got a room and, later that day hung himself.
You know that it isn't a crime
To sit in a pub writing rhyme
But someone bolder
Just shook my shoulder
With, "I'm Cliff! Drop over some time!"
Last words you say
Before your life slips away
Could be just incidental
Or indeed not confidential
I suppose the choice may not be
Something I’d want to say so easily
For it may be a surprise
To me when I do not rise
Most people would want to die in their sleep
The grim reaper crept up the end complete
Your last words may hold
Nothing more then an expletive told
When it may be “F... me”
With my last breath pushed out free
Or will I remain silent at the end
No more needing to pretend.

Where have all the ladies gone
That inspired beautiful song
Style and grace
Humble and chased
Strong and willing
Proper not chilling
Well spoken and sweet as a dove
Well mannered and well spoken of
Where have the gentlemen gone
Regaled and praised in song
Strong and brave
Worked hard everyday
Humble and caring
Always sharing
They have all been replaced
By demons who curse you to your face
By liars and thieves
Filled with contempt and greed
It is so hard to find in this day and time
Real people for real reasons who are honest and kind
