As an underdog given a short leash on life
As an underdog given a short leash on life
alternately titled give one targeted scapegoat a break,
an unquenchable thirst for moolah before I wake
from nightmare of computer hackers.
I tread upon the oblate spheroid
along the edge of night glistening
like a blade runner wielding a knife.
Dark shadows hoover
from the outer limits of the twilight zone
illuminating one bisel

If Given a Choice
I would much rather risk having an encounter with a cougar or grizzly bear,
as opposed to being alone in the wilderness and cross paths with a stranger.

I Was Given a Choice
They chased me down and took me up.
I was stunned by a ray for it was the sixties, was it not?
The Fifty Foot Woman and My Favorite Martian were on TV
These guys were supposed to have glass domes spaceships.
They did not; but the blinking lights were there.
I was given my choice; return to earth

Honesty pure grant me your daughter

Give me your finest
Help to live long to find her

For us to both love and enjoy;
With play,

Turned out to be a little boy.

All In All, True Magnificent Treasures Given - a Collaboration With Robert and Teppo
Luscious the fruits, beautiful under moonlit beams
firmly planted roots, outstandingly hot, lush-sent dreams
all in all, glorified visions, heavenly sent
treasured deeply with rapture stored, sweet love-nights spent.
Tender kissing bites, honeyed dessert offered free
wonderful the flights, through blossoming forests of trees
all in all, miracles were given, lost soul found
in resplendent nights, covering soft virgin grounds!
Gold fairy dusted,

You Have Given a Lot
My Lord, which you have given to the
Dwellers of the earth,
They never pay attention to that or
They did honour it.
You have given a lot and lot,
You have made the world with the
Great Love and harmony-
To each and all.
You have given a variety of fruits
The grains and the trees and
Vegetables for

Given a Memory
If I gave to you a memory
Hold it close to you
Keep it safe
Never let it go
Never let it escape
Keep my memory on a leash if you must
Keep it in good health and shape
If I gave to you a memory
Keep it forever
For each memory i have of you I keep them close to me
The memories

If Given a Choice
If given a choice
Or had my own way
My current address
Is not where I’d stay
But rather I’d opt
For nautical terrain
And dwell along
The coast of Maine
No more meetings
Or phones or faxes
I’ll dig for clams
To pay the taxes.

Given a Glimpse
God is everywhere at the same time
Evidence of faith
was provided to science of a quantum kind
Understand this about God,
and it will serve you well
Being all places at once
is omnipresence unveiled
Poor science wedded to rich faith,
a marriage of man's evolving progress
to reach modernity
Civilization's baby was born in antiquity
Those who profess that God is great,
do you understand
that

Given a Chance
Apollo Creed was the master in the ring.
Most fighters thought facing him was a foolhardy thing.
To defend his title, who was he to fight?
There were some contenders, but none of them seemed right.
From the ranks of unknowns, Apollo chose a fighter.
Practically nobody knew this Italian-American amateur.
This street smart Philadelphian worked as a meat packer.
For a

Limerick : Once a Heavy Weight was given a choice
Once a Heavy Weight was given a choice
Either to eat rice or curried lice
Mice in his training camp
Carried lice for their champ
So he ate raw rice with curried mice.

If Given a Choice
If given a choice between wisdom and beauty
I’d have to choose wisdom out of pure sense of duty.
Duty will call me to be all that I can
And wisdom will aid in my service to man.
While wisdom is there to be used every day,
Beauty is fleeting in a physical way.
Wisdom is solid – has so many
