Long Ands Poems

One more time, I must reiterate one more time
that I'm not complaining
I'm for once trying to find the bright side 
of this inflatable balloon called life
with a glass half full point of view 
but my...

March 8th - International Women's Day The World Over

Down to the wire, before this
calendrical occasion doth expire,
though arbitrary twenty four hour
time set aside for guide

fairer gender, yet human race, yet hide

Black cat in the window
looking at the world,
lickin' on its mittens,
its tail unfurled.
Watching every bird
in the yard fly by,
watching every cloud
drifting through the sky.

Dog on the doorstep
squinting in the sun,
waiting for its owner
to get the...

People these days don't know a relationship from relation lust
In this lifetime getting in a relationship takes bold guts

No ifs ands or maybes
Daily
I'm seeing hatred
People still extremely racist
Meanwhile food and materials being wasted

I understand the messages these mummies meant
Continually money spent
Making matters worse, followed by a bloody event

Too often the crooked win
Always greedy...

Musicianship 
(3 May 2014;  For my son Steven, an ACCOMPLISHED guitarist)

Real musicianship can truly drive you nuts—
There really are no “ifs”, “ands”, or “buts”.
Practice, study, memorize, then more practice--
Is this just an obsession or...

In your moments of despair 
God has a way of revealing things

"Rogue"


What a joke
Yet it's not a hoax
It's getting gross
Folks constantly at each other's throats
Quick to brag and boast
Making an out of pocket comment after another croaked
It's not all cloak and dagger, stay woke
From coast to...

Hungry for sure
We sat on our seats.
Hungry we were
For 'Cat In The Hat' eats.
Sally and I
And our fish on a date,
Wondering why
Such a long wait,wait,wait.
We were hungry and late
And the wait we did hate.

But after...

I wouldn’t know what true love meant

For my lonely life was just content

Never knowing the magic of romance

[Verse 1]
There comes a time
When you finally realized
When somethings so wrong
When somethings not right
And you give yourself in
Throw it all away
And you run for eternity

Or was it just you
Or was it the...

Yes, you know my wife is nuts,
no ifs, but oh her butt.
