Call Your Mother

Pick up the phone...
do it now. 
If you can.
Later if you must, 
I trust that you, 
know the difference. 

She never put you off 
or told you "later" on. 
She was there, 
when the world, 
was not.  

Not everyone has one, 
"someone" like her. 
You are ungrateful, 
and a prick. 
That is thick from me, 
as I hate my own, 
don't you see. 

Some moms are not kind, 
they do not make cookies, 
or serve you wine. 
They have other ways, 
of making their 
presence known. 

That does not mean, 
that yours is less, 
or undeserving. 
You decide,
Clyde, 
but don't hide, 
take pride, 
in the manner you say, 
that is "my mom..."
over there, 
to share, 
stories about the good times, 
prayers about the bad, 
and hugs, 
for all the days 
in the middle.

Premium Member The Day the Muse Kicked Clyde

Why did mares eat oats?
Mares ate goats!
And did does eat oats?
Nah! Dose oats never don' be eaten!
  And how did little lambs eat ivy?
  Little lambsy divy is what it is!

Just like Louie didn't Lou-eye,
Neither did Big Birds Cry
Nor did Fools Fall in Love - Y?
MCA, where it's NO FUN to stay
  at the Hotel California
  where they been whinin'
  since 1969 when the Miracle Mets
  Svoboda'd the tar out of those Crybaby Cubs...

...And Ron Santa proved clawless 
just as Deutchland, uber alles
turned into a pumpkin
like Cinderelly's coach at the palace
of the Ho-ho-ho Green Giant!
He of the beanstalk so pliant and
  The red, red robin went
  Bop-bop-boppin' along on...

...That starry, starry, night
With that palette painted blue and gray
Air-brushed image of Rock Hudson and Doris Day,
Preceded by the Jack Benny show, Rochester, and Dennis Day,
  Reminding me of Bill Dana - Jiminez Jose's
  Star-Spangled Blither-Banner:
  Jose, can you see by Dawn's Early Lite
  Beer: Tastes Great...Less Fillling...
  Tastes Great!  Less FILLING!
  TASTES GREAT!  LESS FILLING!...
     Tell her, 'Barkis is willing,'
     ala Dickensian rhyme:
        The answer my friend
        Is blowin' til the end of 
        Parsley, Sage, Rosemary & Thyme,
        Echoed the Zounds of Zilence.

The Last Dance

Fields that once were ripe with crops
Now play host to blackface and cheviot
Where the children ran and played
Among the bluebell and the thistle
Now screams the wind in bansidhe wail
Looking for those who once dwelt there.

This land was once our land
Where we lived and loved
Rings now with silence
In  this our last dance.

In wooden vessels on the clyde
Like the silver darlings 
They were packed side by side
Across the mighty sea
To lands of distant shore.

Homes in ruin lie ivy on the roof
Grass cropped short by a million mouths
Flies the eagle his gaze on land below
Looking for the people who danced to natures tune
Still grow the bluebells among 
Pine and birks and stream.

Bonnie and Clyde

I'll be your Bonnie and you be my Clyde
Trust and loyalty we always provide
Taking on the world always by your side
No secrets between us we’ve  nothing to hide

Down for you and you for me our love is unique
One that stands throughout time as it’s epic
Us against the world is how it should be
Taken out our enemies in killing sprees
I’m your ride or die every single day
Untouchable, like Ness even when we play

You stimulate my body and my mind 
Thief of love your the mastermind 
I'm your Bonnie and your my Clyde 
If a poison you'd be my cyanide 
I curl up to you as you pull me closer 
In your arms I’m the pistol your the holster

I'll be your Bonnie you'll be my Clyde
Trust and loyalty we always provide
Taking on the world always by your side
No secrets between us we’ve nothing to hide

The Will

In regards to your inquiry
Concerning my anticipated fate
I've become my own attorney 
Representing my estate

It has come to my attention
I am surrounded by greedy leeches
The inheritance of my pension
Is solid with no breaches

I was granted a hefty loan
A bit more than than you might expect
A sweet old man on the phone
My future payments, she would neglect 

Her voice was utterly ginger
And I felt she should retire
I'll enjoy my adventure
She'll finish when I expire

The rules, we may have tooled
But she is long gone by now
Successfully I fooled
I'll give myself a bow

As you hear these words on paper
There is nothing you can do
My home is burned to vapor
My street name is Stew

The cops are in a riot
 searching for Bonnie and Clyde
My tombstone, I did buy it
Leaving with my pride

Bonnie is very intelligent
Much more so than you
There's no telling where she went
Or the money she has blew

She has a new identity
My plan was fool proof
Her destination, infinity
The banks will be aloof

When I had you sign that document
The one I claimed was just a legality
I granted myself access to your every cent
Such a bitter sweet reality

You can teach an old dog new tricks
Especially one with a vendetta 
Now, your problems, my money can't fix
No shoulda, coulda, woulda


Premium Member Impressive Guest List

Just a few years back, we pulled out the stops
Had a Halloween party, that by far, was the tops!
The theme was about movies, and the Hollywood scene
The classics or Netflicks, the best of the screen!

We sent invitations, and asked folks to wear
a costume that spoke of a movie to share
We played movie theme songs, and plastered the place
With film memorabilia, and Movie star faces

We set up a snack bar, and the popcorn was brewing
A floor for some dancing, a place for some viewing
My hubby in black, wore a robe, cap, and gown
He wore on his face...'The Graduate's' frown

Our guests in the spirit, came decked out as well...
Indiana, Harry Potter, and Rocky were swell
We had Batman, Jason, Scarlett, as well
Ben Hur rode his chariot, 
The crew from the Enterprise....well...they were the merriest!
Godfather came...with Bonnie and Clyde
Dracula, Superman, and Frankenstein's Bride
We had Indiana Jones, and Edward Scissorhands
Nanny Mary Poppins, and the Master took Command!
Hannibal, and Gladiator, Thelma and Louise....
Well, ....our guest list was impressive....and I wouldn't tease!
Sherlock Holmes was a handsome dude...but there was Something About that Mary...???
Who me.........  you ask?   What did I wear??? Well...of course I came as CARRIE !!

Surprise

11/14/20


Girl, look me in my eyes
I'm not like all these other guys
I know, it's a surprise

I'm actually wise
And not what you thought was advertised
Don't worry about it, it's fine
Because I get overlooked every single time

The underdog by design
Due to assumptions of nearly every kind
Judging a book by its cover, with the eyes, and then their mind

I've been more than willing to try
And that's no lie
Before opportunity passes by
And I
Eventually die
Mind
Body, soul and spirit may fly
High 
Into the sky
Or just lie still, right beside
Where it was last left, as we still have no explanation why
Please girl, dry your eyes, don't cry
I will stay by your side
There doesn't need to be any tribute, or final goodbye
While you can, make the best of it, because time
Continues to fly right on by

For a long time, I tried to be kind
Did little good, don't need to remind

Far too long I continued to be blind
Even though, I knew with life there is no rewind

If needed I'd make a beeline
For the tree line
And end up near or away from the Creekside

I can really see that she fine
Don't count me out, give me a shout and be mine
Girl, don't leave me in a state of decline
Let's go into the moonlight, on horses we ride
Doing whatever else we decide
If it really seems prime
If you'd like, you can be Bonnie and I'll be Clyde


These fools, always make room for tea time
This ain't the place or time for a peace sign

Won't get far with a weak mind
In a world full of much more than canines and felines

I always like to give big thanks for small mercies.

Premium Member Bonnie and Clyde

Bonnie Parker was obsessed with fame.
She finally got it in the end, when her body was shown to the public.
Riddled with bullets.
I doubt that is what she was hoping for.

Clyde Barrow had kept them out of trouble for years
Thanks to his keen sixth sense, of where to go, and when to go.
His body was right there alongside the love of his life.
I imagine he had no idea his body would be displayed like that.

They were public enemies one and two for a while.
Their crime scenes were stair steps to each other.
Increasingly dangerous robberies occurred, as their confidence grew.

The public was totally infatuated with the robber lovers.
Perhaps this is why the G-men displayed their bodies for all to see.
Hoping to dissuade the next potential Bonnie and Clyde.

To this day there are books and movies written about them.
The public has a pathological fascination for this kind of thing.
No idea why.

Heres To the Class of 84

When we start to think about high school 
We think about way way  back then 
Where all of us knew each other 
 But only a handful of us were friends
I remember your faces way back then  when we use to pass in the hall 
Who’d ever thought the time would come again where I would see you all
Now that the jerri curl has been replaced by the balding and the grey
We cant help but remenisis about the fun we had back in the day 
The funny way we looked and the funny way we dressed 
And all the great things we did together back at old C.H.S.
The old teachers that we hated ,the old friends that we dated 
The lunch that was so bad those exams that mad us so mad 
That old school tiger pride which was lead by mike and clyde
And even all the mess that we stirred up at recess……
Now those are the days that I remember best
As I look out today at all of you where all my joys has been entrusted 
And still I cant help but to remember the one that are no longer with us
Just to think how we were we had such a communion 
And  a lot of us would not have seen one another again if not for this reunion
We were the elite we were supreme we were  rebels without a pause 
We were  the young and the extreme that use to run these halls 
but look like time crept in and took a toll of us all
It’s been thirty years believe it only heaven knows if we’d see thirty more 
So as  we reunite today to once again  I raise my glass to the class of 84
