Pushing keep pushing
The nurse began to call
And out came into this world
A cute baby doll
Pushing keep pushing
A rock that will not budge
And soon your wiry sinews
Will have a nice firm bulge
Pushing keep pushing
For a deal that does not crack
One fine day you will hit pay dirt
It will just come like whack
Pushing keep pushing
For justice if you must fight
Just be wise to know which
Bullet you must let go and which you can bite
Pushing keep pushing
For life is not just about wishing
It might just be what is needed
When you feel something is missing
How does a man meet a gorgeous woman
So it doesn't seem you're out on the make
If she smiles, that gets the the old ball rolling
Take it slow with each step you take
Start with talking about the fun you're having
Then ask her if she's having fun too
Imagine your arms wrapped around this beauty
And kissing this sweet babaloo
Duck if she tries to hit you with a chair
And screams bloody murder out loud
Probably misread this sweet lassie's signals
Best to just disappear in the crowd
Problem arises if she follows you home
Yelling some very naughty words
Pretend you don't know this very strange lady
As her blows make your vision blurred
No one promised success the first try
Eventually you ARE gonna hit pay dirt
You'll wonder forever why it took so long
As she coyly takes off her skirt!!!

No one promised success the first try

You'll wonder forever why it took so long

True love lost direction
when bloomed my affection
for you, who magically weave word
decidedly smitten
by your comic verse written
my long-dead emotions were stirred
Chats online
yours and mine
the order of the day
word-sparring and witticism
rhyming and rhythm
intoxicating; who needs rosé?
By poetry joined
rich phrases we coined
muuuchly our lives intertwined
o'er miles merged our aura
with a burning urge for a
naked horizontal align
When in waltzed a skirt
you hit pay dirt
a writer within her own right
my utopia thwarted
firm resolve faltered
my love remains steadfast despite
Start to talk Obamacare
With a perfect stranger,
And you never know if you’ll
Hit pay dirt or find danger.
Politics is tricky stuff
So maybe your rapport
With someone you just met today
While at the Jersey shore,
Could turn out to be based upon
Agreement on one thing;
But even if it was,
A little pleasure it did bring.
A sunny day, an ice cream cone,
Good friends and to the mix,
Toss in an unknown person
Willing to talk politics…
And what you get is just a smidge
Of life as lived each day
In towns both big and tiny
All across the U.S.A.
