he looked really creepy so we stayed away
then he started following us said little Kay
was it a stranger? asked her grandma Nan
Worse, it was a villain, a skeleton man
Where did you go? What did you do?
We took out our cellphone and called uncle Lew
What did Lew do? What did Lew do?
Litte Kay was speechless, mindless; now she had no clue
I guess you escaped, Grandma Nan prodded her granddaughter
But Little Kay was so frightened, she had to have water
The skeleton man had not scared little Kay so.
Now she was sorry she had told this tale of woe.

I know I was only kidding myself
I am not that stupid and knew this day
was coming thick and fast
When my Lkkel Red Chubs Mcmonkey
would eventually say
Uncky Chris I am engaged to be married
And the only thing I can say with broken
but joyous heart
Is congratulations Lew
I only hope and pray you love Bianca
half as much as I do
Then you have my full blessing because
she isn't just special
She is simply irreplaceable in every
conceivable way imaginable
Cassius Clay became Ali
Lew Alcindor, Abdul-Jabbar
What will become of Ilhan Omar
~ She’ll outlaw taverns and bars
Flew out with family to Florida for the parks and the beacH
Landed at Sanford airport in OrlandO
Once we'd unpacked we had a dip in the pooL
Rose early next morning and we were ready for our taxI
In the parks with the tropical heat we kept well hydrateD
Drank lots of cold coke and ice cream sodA
After two weeks our holiday ended, but we vowed to return one daY.

this is a world of confustion
this is not allustion
we should all
listen to the lords call
leave hate behind
lew new life shine
these or
TROUBLE
TIMES
And it's all because of this
this I insist
It's all because of this
the sin we bare
the sin I ware
It's all because of this
It's everywhere we may not arrive at the mountain together
But if we try we can share the spring water
And I insist it's all because of this
This
This
This is Christ, He's our witness
it' all because of this
the sin we all share
It's in the air
It's all because of this
And it's all because of this

I saw myself
a ring of bone
in the clear stream
of all of it
and vowed
always to be opened to it
that all of it
might flow through
and then heard
"ring of bone" where
ring is what
a bell does
Author: Lew Welch.
There once was a chef named Lew
who swore Samuel's words were true
that Sacred cows make
a great tasting steak
and the best hamburgers too.
Sacred cows make the best hamburger.
Quote by Samuel Clemens (A.K.A. Mark Twain)
(1835-1910) U.S. humorist, writer, and lecturer.
Three mischief makers,
Larry, Lester and Lew,
slipped some wriggly white mice,
inside of their mothers' shoes.
Three screaming mothers,
threw up their hands and ran.
"We're in trouble," screamed Lester,
"Does anyone have a plan?"
"Stick out your lips," shouted Larry,
running as fast as he could go.
"Stretch, stretch, stretch your lips,
and they will start to grow."
Lips, lips, lips,
now the running boys could see,
their lower lips were stretching,
far below their knees!
Down the street the mothers ran,
chasing Larry, Lester and Lew.
But as every kid on the block now knows,
three lips are faster than two!

NASA confirms the discovery of
Water on our moon above
Not so much that you can see it
But evidence that there sure be it
When we get back to explore moon seas
Will we finally find moon cheese
1985
In Washington, there on the mall
They built a long black marble wall
As a tribute to those who gave their all
In Vietnam where they did fall
1914
Ladies you should stand and cheer
For on this day back in this year
More than your spirits were lifted I hear
When a patent was issued for the first brassiere
1878
Governor Lew Wallace, New Mexico
Was feeling kind so don’t you know
He offered amnesty to those who fought
In the Lincoln County War – but naught
To one young lad who ran and hid
The gunfighter known as Billy the Kid
He also wrote the book Ben Hur
A talented man this Governor
1838
Independent! Texans claim
And gave themselves a brand new name
Lone Star Republic – not yet a state
Till 1845 they’d wait
