It was just another Saturday night,
wasn't with nobody
My pockets were full
and my heart was on call
I was dressed to the nines,
and my hair was laid just fine
when I stepped into the 
Coats-For-Kids charity ball
I made...

You saunter through the double doors
Head held high
Chest puffed out
Putting on airs
You think you’re so clever, so deceiving
Showing up baring the most ornate mask
But I see right through
The mask that you wear tonight
You think it...

Outside the walls stood a handmaiden gazing
Twisting her skirt between fingers so frail
Patches of burlap were sewn on the garment
Cut from a sack of a barley oat bale

Oh how she dreamed of the opulent palace

A lilac endeavor
of promised importance
came strolling along
on a path in the sun
Its fragrance unfurling
this side of September
when springtime was singing
for winter was done
With meadowlarks chatting
in off color language
while watching the roses
now bloom by the wall
She...

The belle of the ball and most frightening of all is Sticky Fingers McRaccoon.
He knows how to win, and how to get in, with his gang, of crazy ragamuffins.
He’s never invited, but won’t ever be...

He entered the dance hall, clad in pure white
I sat in my corner, far away from the light
Bodies swayed slowly, the lights were subdued
The wine had been flowing and mellowed the mood.
This stranger intrigued me,...

The memory keeper respectfully scribes this euology to Georgia's sweetest peach.
Over three decades ago on a warm spring day, displayed was not emotion, but the

We Found Paradise, Its Valleys Wide And Soft Green

singing birds stopped singing to hear that melody;
I was broken, walking through life without a plan
if sorrows were...

My dress is made of fine peach coloured lace
Hair is in ringlets, which frames my pretty face
The lights in the room cast a romantic glow
My first ever ball; I must go with the flow

I went to the PS Convention.
I had a wide open mind.
I wasn't sure what to expect
or exactly what I would find?

The set-up was four at a table.
The attendees were all in a tizzy!
Nobody knew, who...

She ain’t the belle of the ball anymore
She’s not the picture
hanging on the wall
	               behind every dorm door

My Christmas tree in sparkling dress
stands in my window to impress.
She smiles at all the passersby.
She waves hello.  She is not shy.

She winks at all the trees she sees
in nearby houses on the street.

Disillusioned fairy tales have
blinded our vision.
No longer would Cinderella be
the belle of the ball, for
her appearance is unkempt
and her a_s has grown wide.
Prince Charming ran away with
Barbie after finding out that
she can't reproduce—
and, yes, the...

Doodles and dabbling
Pillow stuffings in the hall,
There is toilet paper 
Colliding in and out of each stall.

Perusing and cruising
Space shuttles standing tall,
There are sprockets and things,
In each hand, ready for the belle of the ball.

my new peach dress
so fastidiously pressed
in hope that a man will seek to caress

Strauss’s Blue Danube calls
reverberates through halls
streaming from Michelangelo walls

coy ladies smile 
bright eyes beguile
captivating men’s attention for a while

as gentlemen twirl them
I,...

An invitation arrives to my first dance
I'm hoping for some sweet romance
But I haven’t got a stitch to wear
Hope I find some creative flair

Top hat and tails and lots of glam
If I don’t find a...

Waltzing, I’m waltzing around and around
with a one-two-three, one-two-three, to the sweet sound
of the orchestra playing. I’m one lucky girl,
for I’m with someone special who knows how to twirl
so masterfully, and the ladies so fair
wearing...
