leaving warmth wherever it traces
the edge of the daffodil, tulip or crocus
spring shines its brilliant rays across
the windowpane that mirrors the friendly praise
coloring the seals with such sweet appeal

all tucked in wool to warm me right

Expressed emotions
Of one’s devotion
Are expressed so vividly
To prove I am not going through the motions
Things end so complicated
Because they started plain
I want you to be my Gina Waters
And I’ll be your Martin Payne
Because without pain...

I listened to a conversation I didn't mean to enter
but an evil sneer sent in my friend's direction

In defense of my spiritual sister,

I live in a very small very old village
In England where everyone knows your name
But what makes the place rather odd
Is the locals who are very strange.

Beautiful

I remember being a young girl 
Wanting to fit in 
Thinking pounds of makeup would make me pretty
So unsure of myself
With no self-esteem

In deepest hyper space, in the land of Zog,
lives a weevil itch who resides in a bog
At birth she'd been Zogletised as Gina,
but the Elders secretly call her Meana!

but I keep the windows up.
And then I think it’s so funny, you know,
that...

The parties Gina plans for Halloween,
just for adults, are always a success.
The games aren’t evil, raunchy, or obscene,
just entertaining. Plus, guests get to dress
in costumes. Gina’s parties cure their stress.

Johnny stutters when he's nervous

Janice lost her favorite ruler
In the backyard yesterday

Where is my pizza
It was in the microwave
Someone came and ate it up
And left the crumbs right here
