Late one star-crossed summer's night
when I'd had more than enough
and only just in case
I was packing all my hard-won stuff
accumulated over more than several years
up to my ears there was indeed a lot of it
squashing jamming squeezing cramming
all in all a quite tight fit
as my entire worldly goods left in a taxi with me
something I now would like to know
who came up with the cliché and said,
'You can't take it with you when you go.'

The little girl loves rubbing me,
I love giving her kisses when we have tea.
She has this bowl of four new friends,
goldfish cannot go out to play even on weekends.
She spends way too much time with this bowl of water,
these four goldfish need to play with a sea otter.
Has she forgotten about me her kissing cat,
I even let her dress me up in a crazy polka dotted hat.
Today as I stare into the fish bowl, I wondered if I could replace them with four pieces of coal.

Starting earlier every year,
Christmas costs more and more with less cheer.
This year Santa fell flat.
His diet took the fat,
Elves said,” this will not be good” they fear.
Watching commercials, they got idea.
Close diners, except pizzeria.
Each ad on T.V. now,
Pictures of pizzas wow!
Santa gains, without diarrhea.
Ads worked, he got a jolly belly.
Elves solemnly sat in a deli.
Commercialized just right,
His red suit fit so tight,
They needed petroleum jelly.

His fingers make this quitar sing..
His lyrics grab by the arm and ring..
A tall dark God with poetic words..
Hold a crowd with just a surge..
The national Anthem never heard this way..
Set standards and to all who will later will play..
Gone to fast as most legends do..
Jamming up in Heaven with Lennon
and Joplin too..
