Madame sun has always had a bit of a crush on the moon
They see each other from afar daily, and of course, sometimes on zoom
the moon is conflicted as to whether it will work out
Go for it! Yells the star named Dave, who loves to shout.
But what if we can never fully together truly be?
The moon is practical, and has the wisdom of at least twenty-three
Madame Sun is nurturing, she is worth the trouble says the star.
If you do not go for her, I will, and I have a car.
This irritated the moon because he always wanted to have a car.
He had never liked Dave, but now he disliked him by far.
If Dave liked Madame sun, he would go after her now for sure.
Madame sun paid off Dave, a loyal sidekick for sure.
If a gopher sees its shadow
Winter's here to stay
More accurate than any weatherman
Even gets it right for yesterday!
me mate duckbill platypus
feels claustrophobic in my car
me other mate asked me to be his running buddy
we ran once, then he said it was too cold
what a load of rubbish
the river of death that finishes a hard life
when we ran, he fell to his knees
calling for a chair
we stopped at the McDonald's drive-thru and
Jericho in the back started talking into the speaker
about the haunting impact of one's past actions
and personal choices that have broader
societal implications
when we pulled up at the window
they gave him a burger
If you want something in life you have to go for it- life isn't going to stop so you can smell the roses
After the rain, dawns a bright day
Let us go out without a care
Into the far woods, let us stray
After the rain, dawns a bright day,
Enjoy the palm trees on our way,
See what scenes nature has to share
After the rain, dawns a bright day
Let us go out without a care
How do you feel when the love of your life
Whispers those three magical words
Perhaps you're feeling the glow of contentment
You get from the bees and the birds
Knowing that someone thinks you're real special
Makes your little old world worth living
You wake up each morn with a smile in your heart
The star of the show, top billing
Ready for every obstacle that lies in your path
Love makes them seem so much smaller
You walk with an extra skip in your step
Your stature appears so much taller
It's likely caused by your most confident air
As you travel through life unabashed
That skip in your step is a definite signal
You've reached a plateau unsurpassed
It's unbelievable what true love can do
It can change your life in an instant
Hoping you've found YOUR special person
If you have, don't let go for a minute
They had for him come in a cab:
Mister Sabinus for short, Sab,
A guy with the gift of the gab
To receive wounds or the wounds grab...
If only he'd leave fast - A Crab!
He'd prevent what handkerchiefs dab,
His movements had often been drab,
For which reasons they could him nab
And over hand him to Wahab...
Luckless chap for Torturer's Lab,
For boxer's blows and waiting swab;
They shall this celebrate with tab.
No god greater than their Wahab...
More and more sweat on Sab's poor neck,
On a spot imaging the wreck:
"Scream after ascending a deck:
I did not a woman's cheek peck;
Men need to know who's being tortured
Plus the guys who had it nurtured".
Dogs are made up humans
Nicotine makes you normal
When driving in winter when
Your car begins to skid
Go for the center of
“Oh No”
Spend less time at Target
You get credit with God
Next is Wally World
Where you can save
A girl lost on an Isle land
Always cough if your answer
Is stupid
It will make people think
There is something worse
Wrong with you
Dress to kill
But remember
Black is boring
When you are old
Don’t be a recluse
People will think your
A Ex Nazi and a Hitler fan
Follow your dreams
Even if your lifeboat sinks
After the wreck
Use caution at a "Green" light
Stephen King still has a "Mile"
To get home
Ask advice about answers
You already know
And never let a wrong answer
Go unnoticed even if the
Question a Guess
That's what dogs do if
You yell at them
They don’t know the
Nicotine’s not working
How do you feel when the love of your life
Whispers those three magical words
Perhaps you're feeling the glow of contentment
You get from the bees and the birds
Knowing that someone thinks you're really special
Makes your little old world worth living
You wake up each morn with a smile in your heart
The star of the show, top billing
Ready for every obstacle that lies in your path
Love makes them seem so much smaller
You walk with an extra skip in your step
Your stature appears so much taller
It's likely caused by your most confident air
As you travel through life unabashed
That skip in your step is a definite signal
You've reached a plateau unsurpassed
It's unbelievable what true love can do
It can change your life in an instant
Hoping you've found YOUR special person
If you have, don't let go for a minute
Oh Dad, on this fine morn, let us go for a walk
The road is quiet and the meadows wide
On the way you can meet your friends and talk
All you need is to keep your gloom aside
Be assured we will be with you by your side
Dad, you were once such a charming debonair
How we want you to be smart as before
Of late you always recline on your arm chair
As children, we are upset to see you so sore
We wish to see the lost cheer, you quickly restore
Why keep unnecessary anxieties inside?
Please know that you have no cause for alarm
With children to support you by your side,
Believe that you are free of all tormenting harm
This positive thought you have to keep in mind, firm
The love you lavished on us, we will never ever forget
Don’t sit here so lonely, brooding and yawning
Your present lack luster spirit is all that we object
Going out and inhaling fresh air will be rewarding
Come on Dad! Let us go for a walk this morning!

Maybe I’ll Go For A Walk
David J Walker
Maybe I’ll go
For a walk
Old men think such thoughts
About
How to spend time on
A cold December morn
Maybe I’ll walk
In the park
Disembark in a different
form
Same land different
Time
When the park was
Mine
And my friends
No ends to the things
We could do
Even if a blue
Norther came in
Maybe I’ll go
For a mile
And maybe a mile more
One mile
every day
until I need not
go away
anymore
Just for a moment,wait
hesitate and dream
and receive
Step outside the box
imagination cries
to be freed,
Unshackled ,awaken
conception's can-do,
make believe;
Experiment and try
the novel ,unique
in you,lie,
Just for a moment,don't
hesitate ,let it
formulate

opportunity
in the window of the soul-
today dawns repentance
Happy birthday, Sister Relyn,
Let your life finally succeed;
Let your heart go for the big win,
Faith in the Lord is what you need.
