Been coughing lately out of breath with regrets
Asthma? Emphysema? Bully pest upsets
My arms akimbo
at foul passing nimbo
Suffering succotash, I need a cigarette!
The King of Greece went on a blind date
The lady thought he wasn’t so great
So, he went back to his horse
Named Bucephalus, of course
Said, ‘For a better mount I shall wait’
A bar singer asked for a request
But all he got was "give it a rest"
He said "I know that song"
"Please all do sing along"
In that moment he felt truly blessed.
He started to sing and he got jeered
His eyes then filled up in floods of tears
So he ran out the door
Was not seen any more
Till he returned much older by years.
Customers in the bar sat and stared
“His singing's out of tune” they declared
They all went from the room
Left the singer in gloom
His ego was severely impaired.
He said to himself, “that’s it, no more
I’ll ask if I can just sweep the floor”
The manager said “yes”
“You can clean up the mess
But don’t sing when doing your chores.”
One’s never too hot for angels to handle.
Quote - Poet’s own
For the glamorous Marilyn Monroe
Completely out of their minds men would go
Her hour glass figure
Sent them a-dither
When her two beauties were out there on show.
As a blonde bombshell Marilyn was known
Her face and her shape got her on a throne
Some folk liked it hot
When wild the wind got
Up went her frock, to her shock all was shown.
Marilyn wished to be star, perchance
Through exciting years she’d act, sing and dance
In films she appeared
She lost all her fears
And she was never without a romance.
Sadly Marilyn met her end too soon
Now she's flying somewhere over the moon
A proven actress
In heaven's love nest
Dancing and singing with angels in tune.
My husband and I watch a show
Which was aired quite a long time ago –
In 1955;
(Were you even alive?)
Think of all that those folks didn’t know!
For a panel of four had to guess
Occupations, so they would address
Guests with questions for clues
About topics they’d choose
To be answered with “No” or with “Yes.”
Certain jobs were exotic back then,
Like “psychiatrist” (strictly for men)
Or a skunk-breeding guy
Or a worm raiser (why?)
Which led up to the big moment when…
It was time for the mystery guest,
Who would leave everybody impressed;
So the panel was masked
For, of course, they were tasked
With a name-that-celebrity quest.
In the days before Google and such,
Which today is a much-needed crutch,
Simple games could be played
And intelligence weighed
In a manner with which we’ve lost touch.
Chubby Checker was doing the twist
Poor guy fell right down and broke his wrist
No dancer anymore
Chubby's wrist is sure sore
Ladies: Make it 'all well' with a kiss
Memories of Gracie Fields linger
As someone who gave people the finger
Gracie felt defeated
Cheers were deleted
As the Brits took offence as she lingered
Perhaps earth will be lovingly kissed
With snowfall at a time such as this
To grace the holy day
Jesus was laid in hay
Our first and most blessed of Christmas gifts.
A short lifespan, a joyful lifespan
For Frosty the cold, winter showman
With hat, scarf, pipe and gloves
Provided with much love
From children who adore a snowman.
Slowly, sadly, snowman melts away
To the sorrow of childhood at play
Hopefully he'll be back
Before winter has past
And snowflakes come falling thick and fast.

Miracle Man
Dodge City had a handsome blacksmith called Quirt,
who was played by a Hollywood actor named Bert.
With cannons for arms,
pared with his charms,
not one person in Dodge City mistook him for a squirt.
Taylor's pretty swift, a single cat gal with grit
A brash gust of fresh air with verve drive and wit
Swifties exude grand elation
So goes Swift, so goes the nation!
Scared of big yeller bullies? Not one damn bit

Hospital Doctors were soon calling me “Miracle Man”
Doctors told my wife to pray, it was now in God’s hand
I could feel God’s love,
music came from above,
and things transpired according to God’s game plan.
Had these 3 surgeries in 2 months, everything had shut down
and Dr.’s gave my wife little Hope.
In one week I went from 16 bags on a metal drip frame
to 1 and Dr.’s said they couldn’t explain it.
That a miracle had taken place,
and I was made to feel like a celebrity.
I Had Severe Spinal Stenosis surgery
Had the Widow Maker Surgery
3 days later Had Sudden cardiac Arrest
all in 2 months,
Thank You Jesus!

Loug And Doug
Pleasant gentlemen both, broad shouldered and tall
Good sports who respect the umpire's call
Playing the game with pride and joy
Sincerely humble, never coy
Staunch New Yorkers with their eyes on the ball
Archie did cartwheels for Veronica
Jughead even played his harmonica ~
But Veronica’s Jewish
Leaving two suitors bluish ~
Steinberg made her latkes for Chanukah

Douglas Emhoff is our first second-man
Went to USC, got himself a tan
An ‘entertainment lawyer’
His wife’s his new employer
Giggling and cackling as much as she can
I will play my music for people I like
On a stool in front of a stand up mike
No jumping jack run
Across stage in fun
Just songs about people I met down the pike
