Uni-Diversity: Thanx Joe Demino

I
Father DeMino is one someone
Yes, a One- someone
Teaching us: God through Unity
Essence Being, "I and Father are One"
If true for Trinity, why not for U and me

II
We love waves; same landscape
But not the same form, or shape
Surfers can tell U more, for sure!
When they break on the shore
Where is big, small, kahuna wave?
Gone to source. U-wave & I-wave
Are but for a time, to return to prime*

NOTE: " prime" as in primal, or close to ones "original state."

Premium Member Charlie, the Tuna

There once was an unusual tuna
Charlie dreamed of sailing to the luna
   Bought a huge water balloon
   But along came a typhoon
Farewell Charlie, wannabe Kahuna

Whats Taking Them So Long

The big kahuna

21st century hellscape starting to take shape

Keep your hats on boys and girls

Its going to be a wild one

The republicans aren't going to cut us any slack here

What are the socialists doing?

I don't know, but I'm wondering what's taking them so long...


To My Dad

I’ve always called on dad when a problem arises.
I know he can fix it and deal with unanticipated surprises.
Some how, some way he always manage to save the day
But occasionally the problem gets bigger along the way
He will try and he’ll think, but no solution comes to sight.
Then he gives up, only to come back with all his might

And when the day is done and work hours gone
And the thing still isn’t fixed-the war is on.
That problem won’t last when he is in battle mode
He will overcome obstacles and win the gold.
Bad catalytic converters to broken windows
Is there something he can’t fix? Nobody knows!

That’s not the reason I love him, I’d love him anyway.
He’s the best, he’s the greatest, what more can I say.
He’s all I’ve ever known and all I’ve ever had
He’s the irreplaceable Big Kahuna and he’s my dad.
