The famous tea clipper
brass compass binnacles,
ship's wheels,
engine telegraphs,
and ditty boxes for personal storage
a magnetic compass
days and nights
we carried these until
someone who wished to purchase them
surfaced
the buyer said they were bought as treasure but more
so for inspiration
in there music
sailor folk art is a rare and valuable hooby
it fetches wealth and prestige
at the same time
oh the ships of Surreintio
there the oranges are delicious and sweet
Dorking wines oohist me
she said
Il mito di una statua da giardino presso il Golfo di Napoli
Ballad Written By: Catullus Propertius
--------------------------------------------
The stoic stance
she stands
in the gardens of
Dorking
a statue carved to impress
her beauty the poet
writers mystery
a story of love and regret
a sexton the sailor carry's
to the shore she bathe
beneath the sun
he wishes for the sweetness
of oranges
for which til then
he never had none.
Arancia Rossa di Sicilia
come back to Surrentio
the mermaid sings her song
Carnival of Ivrea
she greets men
the charm of a Meridians voice
Napulitano Ballads and songs
the sweetness of the
Napulitano Orange
Sweet the nights of
natural pool of
Bagni della Regina
She swam in the waters there
and became a statue
in the garden that sings
jovial jackleg lawyer was no jewel
pro-bono sounded good until we met this fool
he had a jaunty way, but jaundiced jibber jabber
We sent him packing and hired Flim Flam, a flibber flabber
F.F. was a jellyfish full of jovial jiggery-pokery
Jocundity justice was now playing with my kinfolk from Muskogee
Jesting without manifesting
Joking without spending or investing
Jovial and fair
Jolly times in the air
Living as I dare
Showing that I care
Words delight me, incite me,
Inspire and light me
Jesting, joking, jovial, and jolly
hickery dickery, dolly and holly
Jumping, twirling and swirling in my brain
If this were a song, I’d think up a refrain
Jovial Jean jumped into a room
Mesmerizing us without her broom
She kept us entertained in every way
A joker, jester, full of merriment and play
Mulher, mulher, oh doce mulher
Meu amor, meu berço, meu começo
No meu pequeno diário
Todo dia é um dia feliz
Você é minha alma, meu pilar
Eu aprecio você todos os dias
E eu te amo muito, muito meu amor.
Mulher, meu amor, minha beleza
Você me surpreende o dia todo
Você ocupa o centro da minha vida
Você é minha princesa, minha amiga
Você é minha rainha, minha inveja
Mulher, mulher, oh doce mulher
Meu oxigênio, minha bela dama.
Mulher, coração da minha alma
A estrela do meu céu e da minha vida
Você é a boneca original, a bela mulher
Você é quem se move, quem empurra e quem rema
Uau! você é uma mulher bem feita
Mulher, doce mulher, oh mulher terna
Você é o sol que ilumina minha palma.
Mulher para mim, você é fundamental
Minha anjinha, minha virgem, você é muito especial
A vida não tem sentido sem você, sem seu sorriso
Você é meu farol, meu amor, minha esperança
Você é meu coração, meu sonho, minha alma
Mulher, mulher, oh mulher misteriosa!

Almost virginal beauty
the wonderful flower, marguerite
even with universal joviality
it has a daisy beauty, discreet

There once was a jovial baboon
who loved to put music to spoon
he came to my house
quiet as a grouse
until he pulled out his bassoon

JOVIAL SANTA
A jovial Santa named Jack
From Macey’s was given the sack,
When he hung in his grotto,
The following motto.
“It’s cheaper at Kohl’s round the back.”
