There's no stoping the feline sound
When El Guapo's around
He's the Joe George of Cedar Grove
The women flock in droves
To see their future
To see way cool junior
Mujer te vuelve de ojos grandes
De hermosos ojos azules
Even have a taco with El Guapo
Or a little love under the poncho
El Guapo is Kimosabe
To all the girls of Merle and Willie
There's no mistaking this heart breaker
The clay image of his Maker
Mmmm Mmmm delicious and yummy !
What a glorious day, I'm feeling rich !
It helps that I'm handsome ~

a photo of his handsome twenty-something son sat on his desk
One day I asked him about the handsome curly-headed young man
He had difficulty relaying the story but he choked it out
his son had been brilliant, a Fulbright scholar
Twenty-one-years old, one year left of college
Doing well until he ate brownies laced with drugs
Someone thought it would be funny to watch what might happen.
His son has been in a mental institution for the past ten years
He did not graduate from college, his girlfriend is married to someone else
He may never get released; he is not doing well
No one admitted to the deed that changed his future and his life.
I never thought of anything else after that when I saw his photo.
I cannot fathom this kind of pain.
To you I give rhymes,
From different reasoning lifetimes...
That cost mind nighttimes
To offer the best;
Free of lyrical contest,
Beyond mere interest.
Now, it is time's way...
To lead on a brighter day,
That finds nice display-
Step by step, with all
It takes not to ever fall...
Even at nightfall
Before been too late,
To improve steps world's trials fate,
Leaping far its gait...
A day of goodwill,
That set standards on God's will:
Righteousness fulfill
For friends even foes,
Like what friendly strangers pose...
That's way world enclose
But gives kind gesture...
To tell you- good adjuster,
In life's adventure.
They don’t exist
Not really, no.
But when they look at me,
It starts to show.
Somewhere between
The screen and sky,
Jean smirks sweet,
Reiner breathes a sigh.
Jean
With every glance,
He knows I’m caught,
His playful grin
Is all I’ve sought.
Laughing so gently,
His heart’s so true,
In a world full of chaos,
I’m his only view.
Reiner
When I’m with him,
The world feels right,
He pulls me close
And holds me tight.
His steady gaze
Sees straight through me,
His heart’s a place
Where I’m meant to be.
They’re not real
But they’re all I see.
In every scene,
In every line.
They stay with me,
In ways I can’t explain,
A connection that’s mine,
Beyond the frame.
Fearing the loss of his hair, Porky Pig
went out and purchased a wig.
Now he's parading thinking he's handsome
securing his do cleverly with gum.

Every snip feels off.
I stare at my own hair.
The sides are sharp today.
The top does not feel right.
I run my fingers through.
It is different, maybe odd.
I pause, not sure I like it.
I hope it grows on me.
Maybe they will like it.
It could be a better look.
Could even catch some smiles.
The girls might notice too.
The mirror feels more kind.
The cut starts to take shape.
Maybe it just needs time.
It might be working out.
I take a breath, step back.
Maybe it is bold, maybe fun.
A quiet pat on my back.
Light catches every line.
I let myself smile a little.
It may be different, but I like it.
I own this change, I own the cut.
It feels good, it feels like me.
I walk away with a small grin.
Feeling good about what I see.
Different, yes, but bold.
I like this new cut on me.
handsome Harry hastily harnessed hazardous hayseed Hank
heightening his hellish heebie-jeebies.
Hank helped Harry handle hordes of high-spirited hitchhikers
heaping a hodgepodge of hocus pocus on Honey,
Hannibal’s handsomest hog
He walked the streets with charm, a handsome man so fair.
But unaware of his own beauty, lost in his own despair.
His heart yearned for love, a love he's never known.
Searching in every face, in every smile, in every tone.
The mirror showed a face, a face so undefined. A face that held the key, to the love he hoped to find.
But confidence was lacking, buried deep inside, And love remained elusive, a distant, fleeting tide.
The world passed him by, as he stood in quiet longing.
Wondering if love would find him, in a world so cold and daunting.
He knew not of the allure he possessed, the charm he held within, His heart cried out in silence, a silent plea for love to win.
So he walked on in sadness, in a world that seemed so gray, Hoping one day love would find him, and take his pain away.
model like handsome
eyes brighter than the blue skies
a firm chiseled chin
mermen of marvel
twixt the sandbar and horizon
delighting my eyes
He was a handsome Tom and he knew it too
Was in one commercial about Icy Hot so Blue
His mother said he was as conceited as they get
He wore sunglasses around, thinking he was all “it”
The felines did not know he was the cat’s meow
They did not understand how exotic was his prowl.
He walked around, thinking he was a movie star.
Next thing you know he’ll be buying a new Porsche car.
We'll become handsome,
When God's spirit will lives
Within you relieves.
When I say things like my mom did
When she was eighty years old
“He's so handsome, I can't believe MY EARS”
It's time for a home I'm told!
The train's already left the station no doubt
You're left there standing on the platform
Before you cash in your chips as they say
Someone feeding you will be the norm
Little things like forgetting your choppers
Or getting on the bus without pants
People snickering behind your back
As down the crowded aisle you prance
Some things are a little unusual they say
Like communicating with the birdies
In a language only you and they understand
Or when with a mannequin you get flirty
Wish me luck on the last leg of my journey
Had a blast without any regrets
Sure couldn't have asked for anything better
My life's been as good as it gets!
In words of grace, the most handsome man,
With eyes that gleam like stars that shine,
His heart, a canvas of love's embrace,
In every step, his soul takes grace.
Yet above all splendor, his heart's true light,
A love for Sara, pure and bright,
Her name on lips, a cherished prayer,
Their bond, a tapestry rich and rare.
Through life's embrace, hand in hand they roam,
For in her love, he finds his home.
