She Did the Very Same



Sometimes the meaning we often may miss

Like the sweetness in one small, simple kiss

Full of feeling wanting you to always please

While years of your life continue to increase.

An Uzzi sub machine gun
A revolver and a pistol
And a TASER just for fun,
Because to bear arms
Was his God given right
One of those for which 
He was prepared to fight.

Nobody...

How fondly I recall the joy
Of out mudlarking as a boy,
Along the riverbank we went
Where clarty, happy hours were spent.

Up to our knees, there we stood,
We'd laugh so hard at the...

I saw you going to have one too,
My ink is stained,
For I never feigned,
To have one alone, we are a crew!

MY OLD FORD


I once had a '50 Ford
I bought it just because I was bored
It had been setting in a farmer's field
Where it had stopped and wouldn't yield

I hooked it behind Pa's old pickup truck

When I was just a kid.

Doing Wheelies!
     By Dane Smith-Johnsen

Memaw’s doing wheelies,
She must have flipped her lid.
She should be knitting blankets.
Or babysitting kids-

She had the “hee-b-jee-bies.”
At least that’s what she said.
Just before she hit the gas.
And...

Opening the box, she peers deep inside
Soft music is played from its underside
A smile appears on her cute tender face
Within her a giggle is everyplace

Her thoughts race, exactly how could this be
How do sounds exit...
