jingle tingle of the night
wind moving everything in sight
internet down it isn’t right
what do I do? Go fly a kite?
Internet should be fixed by nine they said.
Wasn’t fixed by eleven, when I went to bed
Got up at two am to check, and it was still down.
Any minute said a notice, written by a clown.
For that internet did not come up until four
Down twelve hours, for some a little more.
The internet down is difficult to deal with today.
We use it so much in our work and play.
America the place
Ice feels immigrants should be erased
Lady Liberty welcome
Constitution says stay
Washington wants to put the immigrants away
Immigrants have a right
It’s turned into a plight
Immigrant’s rights went from bright to dark
Leaving a disgrace mark
They want to live and pursue
What are they to do?
The constitution is the thing
Washington wants the departure sling
America spells opportunity
The taste of prosperity
Immigrants dream of reality
Their America’s tomorrow is a morrow
Immigrants are distinguished
Desires and goals
America in immigrant hate
No appreciate
As Races we should all associate
We all have values and contributions
Individual put in
New beginning
Chance to advance
Immigrants alike
Immigrants tell Ice go fly a kite
Hope in hearts
Needing no depart
America is the immigrant’s stride
They have what it takes to survive
someone advised me that i should lay low
go on a crusade
there's one next week
but what is risky
and ill-advised
is seeing a production of hamlet
on a tuesday night
we saw cats on the thursday
my son whispered that he was
incredibly bored
but who ain't
i'm discussing cannibalism
at the steak & eggs cafe
but also discussing middle-age
and health deterioration
transition of identity
and lack of life accomplishments
we leave the cafe
my friend turns to me and says
let's go fly a kite
Today is Happy Humor day
Take a break from chasing pay
Tonight is Happy Humor Night
~ No-shows please go fly a kite!
~ Parody of 'Let's Go Fly a Kite' ~
from the movie, Mary Poppins
Let's make new mistakes
try to completely break
from our errors before
with new mistakes!
Up where the sky is blue
together, just me and you
Too bad I'm a big fake
~ your first mistake
Sing-a-long now!
Gigantic dragons with long tails
Orange and green crepe contrails
Flying majestically in the wind
Leveling out high above
Yet weaving on currents depend
Attracting attention from everyone
Keeping youngsters fascinated
Imagination in flight
Things that are animated
Entertaining delight.

With a suit made of paper and strings,
Try you might, you’re not hiding a thing.
Though you tug it around,
Still the gawks from that brute!
With your hand in pursuit.
Of the string of your suit.
Let’s go to the sand,
Lay down and get a tan,
Fast asleep because it’s truly boring.
Wake up! Your skin’s all red,
Cancer will kill you dead,
Oh, let’s go to the sand!
All those grains have gotten up there,
Makes you scream and wanna run bare,
Dive head-first in the wave,
Make a last-second save,
With your hand in pursuit
Of the string of your suit.
Let’s go to the beach,
Burn parts quite out of reach,
Fast asleep because it’s truly boring.
Wake up! Your skin’s all red,
Cancer will kill you dead,
Let’s go to the beach!
to the tune of “Let’s Go Fly A Kite!”

Let's Go Write a Poem
**To be sung to the tune of "Let's Go Fly a Kite" From the Mary Poppins movie.
With a dictionary for words and ideas
you can jot your ideas on paper
With your fingers to the keyboard
You're a poet set in motion
With your rhymes holding true,
to the verse of your poem!
Ab, ba, ab!
Let's go write a poem
Up to the poetic right
Let's go write a poem and set it rhyming!
Down through the stanzas
right where the lines are brazed
Oh, let's go write a poem.
When you put your words in motion
And you give your pen devotion
You can write with the best poets
Over phrases and nouns
to the tune of your poem
Ab, ba, ab!
Let's go write a poem
Up to the poetic right
Let's go write a poem and set it rhyming!
Down through the stanzas
right where the lines are brazed
Oh, let's go write a poem.

Would Prefer More Poems to Write
my mind will invite
would prefer more poems to write
could go fly a kite

Lost in a dark cavern of my own making.
Wanting to forget all allegiances that I am now foresaking.
"Allegiances to what, say you"~
Answer..to stop writing about what is excellent, noble and true.
To the tedium and meaningless of life will I write.
Mundane, nothings to not uplift the spirit, for tis better to go fly a kite!
To let go of the social tendrils that choke, like bloody masks!
And to look to this day, which may be our very last.

There's never been two snowflakes alike
Whoever came up with this one can go fly a kite
Of the trillions since
Saw at least a couple of twins
With these astronomical odds, a few might see the light
Free
graceful
heavenly
In the air, not
Jailed
Kids
loves the
melody
Nature's circle

I cannot go big this Valentine's Day,
no money to spend - it all went away,
so while I dig for change
my date got rearranged...
she will see me on Go Fly a Kite Day!
why do they call it a sneeze
when it's clearly achoo
or call you a nut
when you have a loose screw
they say do not speak
unless spoken to
i sometimes don't
but most often do
why does a mosquito buzz
when it comes in for a bite
why does light always rhyme
with the darkness of night
if they've had enough
they say go fly a kite
why is the cut off for cats
stop at nine lives
why if the world spins so fast
we don't all fly off
why does the doctor go there
then asks you to cough
why does your age mostly show
to those but not you
why is the grass green
why is the sky blue
are the sun and the moon
the best of good friends
do they stay up late nights
after we've long gone to bed
and who's in charge of the sugar plums
that dance in my head
that have gone to my hips
that are making me fat
just a few things
i ponder in life
the over and under
the may and just might
the good and the bad
the wrong and the write
the wondrous blunders
as I plunder through life
There is strength there is power. “Mommy, look at this lovely flower!”
There is war and there is strife. “C’mon lets go fly a kite!”
There is guns and there is knives. “Look at my kite rise and rise!” There are warlords there are tyrants. “Hey Jo, can you hold the call on those Clients?” There are Officers and there are sergeants. “This silver is of the finest argent!” There is my skin, burnt ashy and gray. “But daddy, Are you coming home to stay?”
