I didn’t want to go on vacation
I would rather stay home with my friends
When does being treated like a baby
In this family come to an end!?
We went to a stupid hot beach
I don’t even know how to swim
I would rather be practicing basketball
Back home in the high school gym.
I sat moping on the beach all alone
As the sun was starting to set
We’d been here for all of three days
I wasn’t having any fun yet.
Then I noticed her walking by herself
Silhouetted against the red sky
Just on the edge of the water
I was speechless as she passed by.
I watched her walk down to the pier
Where she turned and started coming back
I went down to the edge of the water
Making sure I would be in her path.
I was aware of this beautiful creature
Walking ever closer to me
Her blond hair gently dancing
Inspired by the ocean breeze.
She looked up and smiled as she passed
Slowing down for me to say, “Hi”
An opportunity I couldn’t respond to
As I simply let her pass by.
All night I stayed awake dreaming
Of this angel I saw on the shore
Silently thinking and scheming
What I would do if I saw her once more.
Next day I was on the beach early
To give my destiny a shot
I sat there searching and burning
The sun was so very hot.
Just when I was about to give up
And mope on back to my bed
I heard a sweet voice saying,
“Boy are you turning red.”
I’ll spare you all of the detail
From my steamy summer of love
When on a golden ray of sunshine
My future wife was sent from above.
He lies at home in his single bed all alone,
Conjuring up in his head another new poem,
About a lover who does not really exist,
But in his mind her image still persists.
He’s forty years old and has never been with a girl.
He’s afraid to leave his room for the outside world.
What he knows of love he learned from his TV,
Yet he amazes us all with his beautiful poetry.
His prose is full of pure, virtuous, sensual imagery;
He describes his lover in a woman’s perfect symmetry.
You feel his love full of romance and desire;
His words of lust ignite your passionate fire.
The man who writes verse about what he never knew
Produces images that no experienced lover can out do,
As he lies at home in his single bed all alone,
Conjuring up in his head another new poem.
It was a different world than we live in now
We had so much less but so much more
Mom’s stayed home to raise their kids
My Dad worked in a grocery store
We lived in a row home with kids all around
You never knew what to expect
Families earned whatever they needed
We learned self-reliance and self-respect
We might have a fight in the morning
There’d be a bloody nose or two
Later we’d walk to the park together
We were still friends when it all was through
If we could scrape together five gloves and a ball
We’d have enough for ten to play a game
You see we shared our baseball equipment
On that field we were all the same
We also shared our hopes and dreams
Our heartaches and our fears
We shared our victories and defeats
Our laughter and our tears
We had taped up balls and taped up bats
Wooden wheels for the old go-carts
We might have played with broken toys
But we never played with broken hearts
Now the years have past and time has changed
We’ve gone our separate ways
We have so much more than we did back then
But they were better days.
On television movie "Dirty Dancing" again
To tell honest truth I felt warm after glow
This looked like a fun thing to do from where I stood
I thought and on my "Bucket List" it will go
But when I moved from my sitting stance_no_no way
Even though this "Dirty Dancing" fanned my flame
At my age just don't have youthful energy left
I will just have to pen a "Bucket List" by name
A very long list of fun things before life's end
Seek map and then go down a never travelled road
Go on a surrey ride to hear the horses' hoofs
Would that my love and I for horse not be heavy
In a hot air balloon basket flow on warm air
Only so many years_go to states not been in
No longer sit at home breath very deeply sigh
I'll be able to tell generations where been
No longer sit home and watch each and every leaf
My life wil move now as if it was set on fire
Skateboarding looks like so much fun_might fall and break arm
Join circus learn to perform by walking high wire
When I look at my "Bucket List" I get so sad
Like New Year Resolutions that I never kept
Need a new list of very achievable things
When I seriously thought about this I just wept..
