A Dedication To He That This Old Poet Truly Admires

Hardened was his sad heart when a mere lad-
 Never a kind word, all seemed very bad-
Born a true and strong athlete to behold

Here's the story of Paul Bunyan
But I'm gonna tell it my way
Some people probably won't like it

Paul Bunyan wasn't really a giant
But he did have an ox named babe
Paul was...

Hope, a window 
in which to see 
tomorrow's sunrise. 
The door in which 
to enter the kingdom 
of possibilities.
The balloon floating 
over a stygian abyss.
The wheel 
in which pregnant dreams 
are spun.
The bridge that links...

Don't f*****
Push my buttons

Really, really buzzin
Often high and drunken
Just trying to function
Stand in the way, and your ship will be sunken

No time for interruptions
If it is not about cash, end of discussion

Cold blooded
Leaving others gutted

My  mountain man was born in June.
He could do everything, even lasso the moon.
No problem was too big for him to undertake,
Even if it was a fixture that he had to make.

He was like...

Your heart beats with internal impediment
Making each breath a struggle.

There are scanty men of tasty rhyme.
Shakespeare is dead and Marlow has gone with time, 
Tennyson is under the soil and Holmes is no more;
Bunyan will never live again, and where is Poe?

Was it by chance or pure circumstance,
that the path I took, led me far out West? 
An island hop, a drifting castaway,
with treasured moments, of bygone yesterdays.

It's wonderful~how some women's 
shoes are delightful and feminine.
Yet women dress more and more
like men each day.
It's very sad in the USA, to watch

Whiter than snows atop higher tors;
And with more troth dudes did kiss
Purer maidens for pleasanter bliss.

To have been of better-spun spark; 
And bards of far...

Hardly a man is now alive
Who remembers Minnesota
Before Paul Bunyan flattened it
To resemble North Dakota.

Paul's blue ox Babe was equal to
Most anything he'd ask.

Missouri volunteers bit bullets, watched
as Santa Ana's baggage washed
