My god’s wrath
and your god’s wrath
sitting by the pyre
The scientists scramble
trying to get a handle
telling the world it is dire
Talk about
Hey man
hey man!
Hey man
hey man!
Setting the world on fire
My god’s wrath
and your god’s wrath
are in it with oil to conspire
Talk about
Hey man
hey man!
Hey man
hey man!
Setting the world on fire
They’ll have you believe
it’s all about Eve
The End of the World His desire
Talk about
Hey man
hey man!
Hey man
hey man!
Setting the world on fire
My god’s wrath
and your god’s wrath
Is sitting by the pyre
Sitting by the pyre
Hey God, it’s me, Margaret.
I know it’s been a minute
since our last conversation,
but I’m back to ask for a little help.
I’ve got bigger problems now.
(I know—I’m surprised too.)
Perimenopause has reared her ugly head,
and honestly, I can say—
puberty was child’s play.
in my kitchen at the break of day
I heard a tiny voice trump out a “hey!”
it was a baby elephant in my coffee cup.
“How are you?” he asked me. “What is up?”
This surprised me a bit, it had not happened before.
I tried to tell my husband before he got out the door.
He rolled his eyes, and acted like I was insane.
Two seconds later a giraffe crawled out of my kitchen drain.
Hey, I like that thing you did
That post was freakin’ good
I’d give it twenty million Likes
And frame it if I could
Where’d you get the idea from?
Man, it was INSPIRED
I’m glad you put it up online
Where it can be admired
That thing deserves to be shown off
I’m telling everyone
You pulled it off most expertly
I mean it: Nicely done.

Hey, let’s go to the moon
Opportunity will be departing soon
Count is descending down
Orbit will be bound
Hear the roaring engines sound
Amazing adventure maybe found
Playing lunar,’ ring around’
Shooting off into the night’s air
Like a candlelight flare
Nothing can compare
Accepting this trusting dare
Lasting ten days
Going both ways
Checking neighboring planet’s backside
During the fly
Bye
Without a tourist guide
Bringing home souvenir data and results
Empowered using many energy volts
Time to take the darken path
And invade the heavenly wrath
Hiking a darken road
Being very bold
Artemus two mission easily sold
We have been told
Sun agreed wearing blinging gold
Shining bright
Heating our exploring knights
With illuminating light
Assisting them in this successful flight
we were crossing the bridge with no worries that day
When I heard a thunderous voice say “Stop there! HEY!”
A two-headed monster gave both of us the eye.
Pay us twenty-two cents, one said, or you will die.
I can pay you fifty cents, I told them, but I don’t have twenty-two.
He and his other head conversed and decided that would have to do.
We always bring money now when we want to cross that bridge.
And we have made friend with the monster, we call him Midge.
Cool basks in the sun
An alligator snoozing
Hey Cool! How's your life?
Hi Jesus I wanted to talk with you today
In a poem about my day
I mostly was sleepy today
I mostly was glad to be well fed today
I was thinking about you all day today
I even felt negative and I am sorry for that
I remember those days last year when I was thinking about you less
This year I have been thinking more about you
Like how come you are so great it is amazing
Love this world you have created I just wish we could help more people
I know you always think about me and I know you always guide me even when I do not know it
I trust you Jesus cause You are my best friend from when I was real young
I remember when I automatically knew you were my best friend then years of confusion
I got confused cause I forgot you my best friend from forever I am sorry I was blinded cause I forgot
You Jesus are my best friend from forever
I am glad my sight is restored and I see you Jesus again as my best friend from forever
I love you Jesus so much my pal my buddy
I had no idea I had gone so long without remembering you Jesus are my first friend who created me
welcome home buddy
I give it to God
I trust in Jesus
I make coffee sometimes
I love my family
I love my friends
I love the Lord he is my buddy
I trust in you Lord Jesus for all you did for me this life
Knelt down beside you Lord and found I have you within me
we breathe you in with the air
we will be united with you soon
Love you with your agape love filling me deeply
Glory to you buddy Jesus I cannot wait for the unfolding of your surprises for my life Jesus
Hi there, how's it going?
Oops, I thought you were my cousin.
Methinks my eyesight's getting worse.

G'day eclectic nation..From citys to outback stations, in the canefields and wheatbelts
Where the heat hugs , yet sweat cools you if
You move right.?
And you follow bush rules, in that searing light
To those dunking their akubra.' To Yalata where
They fixed my metal.. To those up on
The ridges and on bar stools settled, to the marchers who are moving, and the loosers
Who are ( booing ') who are realising the freedom, that so many sacrificed for and
Believed in ' I wish to you enlightennent ' and
To those displaced by designs not of benign intent, currently toughing it under
The shelter of tents.' I wish you strength
And health.' And a return to a better commonwealth.' Not one of crown and pomp and heraldry, yet one of mateship
For each man and woman who be, the holders of continuity..The rememberers
Of the best we can be..I am marching with
You all in spirit..And beleive no sky will limit, share a smile and hugs, pull up a rug.'
Australia day ( is here to stay ) God bless and guide all love i say.'
as I sit
in quiet of night
almost asleep
but not quite
somehow it slips
through shadows of time
and space unknown
a whispered hey
somehow a voice
full of love
with longing deep
somehow I know
somewhere they wait
longing like me
in darkness deep
the same as me
somehow I know
that someday we
somewhere will meet
and together be
whispered hey
while half asleep
alone in the night
