The Green Fairy

The Green Fairy

If I were a flapper girl sipping on a dirty martini with a jade cigarette holder, would you still love me? 

Singing a bluesy, swing song, while the gents in the room had a great ball.

If I were a nurse during WWII, would you run to my bosom and keep our secrets locked up like a key full of sight?

If I were a doctor would you allow me to take your blood pressure, while your heart races in delight?

Listening to Harry Connick Jr with a sip of Absinthe, retuning our melody, and our poetic flare. 

Enjoying a Van Gogh painting as we danced in the air?

If I were your woman would you create a scavenger hunt full of little trinkets for me to retrieve?

Would you sing a tune, and lend a red rose, and then get on your knee to bow down and propose?

With all the great poets, we conceptualize a rhyming verse to idolize.

If I were your woman, I’d write a soft word, but just loud enough for the great ones to hear.

As you sip on your vermouth, and the other a beer.

If I were your vampire would you meet me at dusk; with a bag full of ancient coins as you heat up my loins?


Premium Member The Day Before Christmas Eve

Christmases and Christmases ago down where the Camelias grow
There was a family whose money was low__not so much cash flow

'Twas the day before Christmas Eve and they didn't have their Christmas tree
                                 nor stockings in a row

Their old artificial tree was looking very used_not even Charlie Brown could give
             it a look renewed

There wasn't funds to buy a new one or a tree that the stores sold freshly cut

Mom decided to the woods they would go for a cedar to hunt

The whole family piled in that tiny little truck and across the creeks 
                     and to the woods they flew like Santa in his sleigh

Walking, searching, searching not one suitable tree_fatigue, cold and huger
                  began to set in
                                   So back to the truck they did plod sadly

And there right there was one Cedar which looked green and shapely

The man of house with his strong muscles and a chain saw quickly_cut that beauty
                       
                                   swinging high onto the truck proud of their great luck

Arriving home with tree in tow and placing it in its stand you know

Mom in the kitchen popping up some corn, making hot cocoa for us to warm

                                                   and
          a fire she lay to heat up the room _then the tree we'd all groom

With the tree in place and a roaring fire, hot cocoa to warm all desires

An odor began to permeate the air_floating over here and there

                                     "What is that scent?" mom did despair..

From that lovely green Cedar Tree a fowl scent circled the room

                    Dad laughed and laughed with a twinkling eye..
"A Tom Cat had sprayed that tree with a scent not very nice."...

So out the door the tree flew and Christmas Eve the hunt repeated...

Premium Member Beaches and Volcanoes, a Letter To a Friend

BEAUTIFUL BEACHES, A Letter to Daniel
By Curtis Johnson

Hi Daniel,

There once was a man living high on a mountain whose name was Harry
Mt. St. Helen was threatening  to blow its top, and everyone started to worry
Harry had been there 60 years and thought he would live on to tell his story
So after being warned to evacuate, Harry refused and decided to tarry
Sadly, when the volcano blew, Harry was later found in 40 feet of ashes

It’s interesting at times, that life can be so tame, so sweet, and so calming.         Because of our positive experiences, we relax and enjoy seasons so charming    Like Harry, we are unconvinced of danger, and need not fear rumors and warnings

Sandy beaches on the oceanfront are beautiful and lots of fun, when all is sunny and bright.  For eight years my family and I lived in San Francisco within four blocks of the Pacific. Believe me when I say that the Oceanside is a calming and charming place. We spent lots of time in the Golden Gate Park and on the beach.             

One Sunday afternoon, my two small kids and I took a walk across the rocks above the ocean beach. The waves were coming in pretty far, but I thought that we were high enough.  I thought wrong.  We had not been on the rocks 5 minutes before the waters came splashing against the rocks that we were walking on.  I held the kids and protected them from the big splash.  I got pretty wet, but no harm was done, and the lesson was well received. 

The sandy beaches of life will often suddenly turn into rushing waves of sea salty waters.  My friend, there are times when the volcanoes of life will heat up and blow their top. When they do, we best be aware, heed the warnings, and seek higher ground.                                                            

Dan, I do not know what you may be going through presently, but I am praying for you. If for any reason you taste those salty waters of what was once a calm and sandy beach, I have every reason to believe that God is going to change things for you. If the volcanoes of your life have blown its top, I have every reason to believe that the ashes will not bury you. When the troublesome adversities of life blow against all of us, God is always both warning and leading us out to safety.

So Daniel, my friend, may we together seek higher ground.  Love you. Curtis09262013

Premium Member The Cold Invasion

The cold invading army has entered through the mouth and nose
Medications are ready to stop this relentless attack, trying to be composed
The body must prepare for an intense battle as germs are seasoned veterans of war
Exploding coughs are just the beginning of what I have in store
Fluids must flow freely to flush out the enemy from where it hides
As the invaders set up camp in my ears and throat, my energy levels started to slide
I can feel the battle start to heat up as my temperature starts to rise 
A relentless pounding in my head was certainly not a surprise
Sleepless nights from coughing are making it much more difficult to defeat the germs, but a barrage of drugs is weakening their attack
After days of battling them, they are finally defeated and start to retract
In a short time, I will once again feel like my old self 
Time to pack up all my medications and put them back on the shelf

Facts of History

he said in a live news report that Jupiter
once was a planet the size of earth, it had living creatures
and an amoshere slightly warmer than ours.
he believes that jupiter once had a core that was heated from it's 
center. And that the way we see jupiter now is from an explosion that caused the gases from with in the planet to expand and explode. the red spot on jupiter is actually the planets core and when the [planet gets to be recentered and the redspot is moved to the most northern part of jupiter, the core will again heat up and fall to the center of the planet and the colored gases from the surface will again be the surface and core of the planet. he say's life will exist on jupiter in twenty six years. He advises the audience to marry and have babies, and teach them to watch jupiter from his perspective, and that their science will one day create the means too find remedy, against the living creatures of the fast resolving  planet who shall create a society to war against us in the year 3031. He and some of his wealthy followers have bought land
in southern United States and Northern Mexico, and they call it Western America, a new nation. They have trains planes rockets and even (some say) war missiles. They dare The United States and Mexico, to enter their country, But they do allow travelers to visit and spend money. They have named the Area Guffistier after the Mytholigcal God Dieumiun  And the Casear Fritsier the Great (Myth has them to believe Fritsier the Great was Casear before  the Roman Empire exsisted, and the great cover up of his empire was when jupiter exploded).

Premium Member The World's Greatest Chef

I don my towerin' torque at a jaunty angle when I prepare my cuisine!
Eat yer heart out, Gordon Ramsey; of all the world's chefs I'm the dean!
I can whip up a delectable repast in a trice from a can of pickled spam!
I've appointed myself the world's greatest chef - that I am, that I am!

Ain't nothin' better'n my ravioli heated from a can of Chef-Boy-Ardee,
Or a tasty frozen pie or cake defrosted in my microwave from Sara Lee!
Why, I can heat up a canned ham quicker'n Emeril Lagasse can utter "bam"!
I'll say it agin, I'm the world's greatest chef - that I am, that I am!

Try my tasty Eggo waffles or pancakes that I forge in my toaster,
Or the magnificent stews that I concoct from Dinty Moore in my roaster!
People rave about my sandwiches of Skippy peanut butter and Smucker's jam!
Are you convinced I'm the world's greatest chef? I think I am, I think I am!

I learned the art of grillin' hot dogs at French culinary ecole Le Cordon Bleu,
And it was there I cultivated my skill fer broilin' burgers on the barbecue!
I invite you to try a bowl of my delicious Campbell's New England clam!
I'll repeat it agin, I'm the world's greatest chef (or at least I think I am)!

Sitting In a Hot Tub Looking At the View

sitting in a hot tub looking at the view
waiting for you
to come home
my mind tends to roam
knowing that it will be a few more days
i am missing all of your unique ways
this big ole house is not the same
my body feels limp and oh so lame
i wanna call you every hour on the hour
i never thought a woman could possess so much power
i guess i am loving you the more i miss you
i feel the permanence of happiness everyday when i'm with you
i do not care if i cramp up or my skin peels
it does not compare to how your thick and warm body feels
i guess i am becoming quite the softy in my old age
since you came into my life you heat up every cold page
now here i am all whipped and missing your pretty presence
i am loving the feeling of being caught in your reverence
i am now goofily smiling while humming a cheesy tune
i then suddenly whisper 'baby please come home soon'
sitting in a hot tub looking at the view
naked, warm, and inspired....waiting for you

Heart of Sod

I’m bleeding from the outside in
like a cup I’m filled to the brim
but I’m not bleeding blood, I’m bleeding gasoline
just so I can light a fire inside of me
my eyes are closed, I’m breathing heavily
lost inside, I’m paralyzed, am I ready
read my lips these will be my last words
they’ll be tattooed on your heart as third degree burns
leave the room, make sure you lock the door
I don’t want you to see me like this anymore
turn the heat up and walk away
write down every last word you've heard me say
“he who is drowned, is not bothered by the rain.”
Bellowed the last lamb the wolf hath slain
“The lamb, the hero.” the wolf cried to god
and etched the lamb’s final words into a heart of sod

Premium Member Reading the News

*ring* *ring* (A Facetime call)
Mom: “Hey hun, what’s up?”
Me: “Well, let’s see.. 
“We have an armed law enforcement that’s scared of the civilians they police.
One political party so corrupt it’s no longer interested in serving the people.
Half the population ignores the one real power mankind has - science.
Hackers shutting down pipelines, schools, hospitals and companies.
News networks that are allowed to just make up lies as “news”.
Half the population that’s determined to be uninformed.
Social media is destroying the minds of our children.
A political party that encourages its followers to die.
A world that’s quickly poisoning itself to extinction.
Religions that endorse obvious liars and guns.
An economy that depends on our self doubt.
Foreign enemies manipulating our elections.
A supply system on the verge of collapse.
A party encouraging resurgent racism.
A badly neglected infrastructure.
Inflation starting to heat up.
A near endless pandemic.
And a rape culture.”

Mom: after a moment of silence 

“Have you been reading the news again? You KNOW you tend to obsess.”

Childhood Memories

When will I get the pleasure of seeing your face?

When will I write my map, and back to your arms I’ll trace?

When will I hold you so close to me?

When will I give you my heart and you can keep my key?

When will I heat up with your beautiful kiss?

Being with you is my one and only wish

Never did I want to be away from you

I’ve always wanted us to just be true

When can I feel your body close to mine?

I really hate waiting for all of this time

Can you grant me my one wish?

Maybe someday you’ll give me my wedding-kiss?

I’m so sorry for being away from you

I love you so much, if you only knew

Words can’t describe my life with you

You swept me off my feet and I just flew

I flew so high as high as the trees

I flew way up high as high as can be

I knew the day I met you, it wouldn’t be our last

Our little relationship went by way too fast

Now I will pick up where I left off

I miss your body and your skin so soft

I want you to never again leave my side

Because only you will I forever confide

Words can’t describe what you do to me

I can’t wait ‘til one day, you’ll be down on one knee

What do you think about what’s being said?

Will you agree to live by my side ‘til we’re dead?

How many babies do you want with your name?

I’m in love with you and you’re to blame

I want you more now then I ever did

Feels like before you and me were just a kid

Now I’m all grown up and still it’s the same

Only this time, I will steal your last name
