Jasper intimidates my friends
Terrifies my enemies
Of which there is only one
I feel protected now
He lets no one abuse me
I keep him close
It is not everyone who has a polar bear for a best friend
I feel fortunate and blessed
My faerie godmother loves me
She knew what she was doing when she sent Jasper
No one hurts me now
And my enemy runs screaming into the night

Kenya’s Goddess came in hard and fast
With wind that ruffled the grasses of the savannas
The trees felt her presence and cringed
Wondering if she would uproot them
She is all powerful they warned the animals
The lions stayed to watch, but the meerkats hid

Jasper J. Jigglebottom was stuck in the sixties, and proud of the fact.
He was on a movie set, admired by many for he could certainly act.
His job was to be available to stand in until the director yelled “take”.
The placement actor who stood in Bogey’s place when he needed a break.
He was dressed in the same dapper suit, a double breasted, jazzy plaid suit.
He smoked the same brand cigar, and wore the same wing tips to boot.
Jasper J. Jigglebottom was admired by those who could not do what he did.
A grown man but he had the keen wit and wildness of Bogart’s own kid.
How are those ear’s hanging? He looked up and saw Miss Lauren Bacall.
She was the most sensuous, sexy, woman of the sixties; a heavenly doll.
He nearly spit out his cigar, he was so gobsmacked by her beauty.
Let’s not lose it, the director admonished, reminding him of his duty.
So he tried to ignore her skin, her eyes, her hair, and her walk.
He knew he was practically in love, especially with her wiggly walk.
She’s something huh? Humphey Bogart said as exchanged places with him.
Jasper could not reply, but he had saliva precariously hanging off of his chin.

STIMULATE my chi, Red Jasper…
Create balance my Life Force shall e m b r a c e -
Fill me with the spirit of vitality and energy, dear gem,
allow courage to take my heartaches place.
Oh, crimson beauty you hold so d e e p inside,
nurturing my weakness and bringing peaceful dreams-
Protect my sacred determination I try to encompass,
for lately MY dreary life isn’t as lovely as it seems.
Mother Earth has brought life to your hue,
the d a r k n e s s shutters as you were born to revitalize-
As you lay upon my chest right above my LONGING heart,
I begin to meditate and my purity c a l m l y cries.
Stimulate my Chi, Red Jasper…
Bring my aura to life again, using your LIFE FORCE held within.
My favorite color jewelry is Amethyst

Back where it all started this life
There were a lot of bright colours
Deciding to take our time upon this
Poe; to do a Michelangelo: jasper's muse
As I'm going a bit too fast ? We'll turn it into a love fest....
Breaking away from vertigoville; mania valley's terse twister, thrills.

You are more than just a kitten to me.
You are a member of my family.
Today I know you were not you,
What was wrong I had no clue!
I made a rush to the vet.
For I was not ready to let you go yet.
I let you lay upon my chest,
For that was your favorite place to rest.
The vet said the we were too late,
So now Jasper you are at Heavens gate.

Fuzzy little balls of fur,
Sleep, stretch, then yawn.
Snuggle up to warmth,
and keep me up 'til dawn.
Eyes that are opening,
and at first they are blue.
Can't wait to see the final color.
I love to gaze at kittens so new.
Each personality shows early,
Lois is needy, and Jasper, smart.
Quagmire is feisty, except for the "goatee",
him and Emmett you can't tell apart.
You all have brought so much joy,
and you take stress away from me.
Even when you're fighting over milk,
you guys are as cute as can be!

Soaking, and freezing,
he stands outside,
waiting for comfort,
in a bed warm, and dry.
Please daddy, please,
can we keep him, please,
he is all alone,
and he really needs me.
OK son,
bring him in for tonight,
but first thing tomorrow,
you must do what is right.
His owner will be looking,
he is someone's pup,
I know they are worried,
he's a cute little mutt.
No one came,
no one claimed,
this poor little dog,
now Jasper is his name.
