Remembering Laura
Walking South
on the beach
in front of Doral
I heard a woman sing ...
“If you put the man
back in romance
I’ll put the lay
back in lady”
Catching up to her
I asked
where she first
heard the song
She said: “It’s mine
do you like it?
It still
needs more work
I was hoping
this walk
would enchant
or inspire”
At the Fontainebleau
I said: “I do very much
Let me help

Laura Norder 2 - New Balls Please
Laura Norder took her gun and strapped it to her thigh
The skirt she wore was so damned short she had to strap it high
And stood there on the corner where the street lamps dare not tread
She waited for the man who had perversion in his head
Sirens in the distance wouldn’t come to watch her back
A

beautiful halloween laura
Laura's Halloween gown was exquisitely done
with sequins and pearls, all kinds of fun
queen of ball on October thirty-first
She was so gorgeous, her pride nearly burst
Tried not to look pompous, but it was hard.
Songs written about her by many a bard.
splashy and flashy, a flawless beauty.
her escort led her in the parade, his civic duty.

Laura Norder - The Toughest Girl In Town
Detective Laura Norder wouldn’t recognise a border
Her jurisdiction knew no bounds when there had been disorder
As the toughest girl in town she always won the day
The cells were crammed with criminals that she had put away
Laura Norder stood her ground if she should be confronted
By vicious thugs who’s I.Q. seemed to be a little stunted
She

Laura
cry cry its pretty time
credit card eyelashes
equalize the load
spend the morning unrushed
head full of murmur
down Liechtenstein we go
open the window
face eastwards
to all those strangers

Laura Weighs Luther For An Affair
Laura was looking back at him:
A coat for the first fine time trim,
A new eye glass with a gold rim
But Luther still not looking slim,
His bright eyes now gloomily dim...
Laura had this long sung to him
Like a Blues' tune, no, like a hymn,
Even as he bought her a SIM
"Don't be cup filled to its brim:
Weight

Laura and Exlover Greg
Their Ten–Year Relationship broke;
And this we thought Life’s lashing stroke;
Not that they had their affair snapped
Nor out a handful wrong things mapped…
We all were privy to True Bliss:
The times One would The Other miss.
Triumph could have been Submission,
Love Affair judging Pure Mission;
Four Eyes for Love’s Live Transmission,
For its disc Written Permission…
Well, now, Laura sticks to

It Hasn'T Rained In Two Weeks
the raindrops commit suicide on the window
as if they wanted to wash the goodbye signs
with the blood of the water,
- the rain today carries swords like a samurai,
kills the morning
the horizon is a simple bandana tied up on the eyes,
don't worry, in case if you don”t come
i will understand, - we will be

Poem For Laura Nyro
you were haunting, elusive, bitter, sweet
your hair was long, dark, lost, lonely
you sang the scars of the streets
And when I die...
New York tendaberry…
and the past is a blue note
I wanted to embrace you
as I drowned in your lovely
soulful primal songs
Spring whispered in her ear…
upstairs by a China lamp
La la la la la la
you welcomed

Marco and Laura Coming Together
It could be seen in the rough surf
Marco and Laura traveling towards French style turf
Touring the gulf
Showing the teeth of an angry wolf
Winds swirling
Waves curling
Water hurling
Like a southern gent
Dealing with egotistical celebrity resent
Putting up a TNT hospitality tent
Programming things on TV
Watching it with a

Oh Laura, Oh Laura Are You Okay-Inspired By the Film Terror In the Crypt
Oh, Laura oh Laura
Are you okay?
Karnstein’s are falling I must say
Terror in the Crypt is the film on the moving image strip.
Spells are in gear and Laura you have much to fear
There is this dapper looking Klaus who is looking through the books
And came across something that had to
