The courtroom sat in silence as if issuing a dare,
a mountain and a hillside told each other to beware
The judge was in his chamber with the deputy in charge,
they couldn’t hear the little hill claim it was very large
A ticking clock was counting as the minutes slowly passed,
darkened by the shadow that the mountain’s girth did cast
Things were getting very tense, the temperature did rise,
as the mountain and the little hill compared each other’s size
Suddenly from in the hall another did appear,
walking through the courtroom door and it was very clear
All the people turned to look, the oohs and ahs did sound,
for there they saw a valley that made all of them look 'round
The valley said in echoes “What’s the meaning of this fight?
It matters not how big or small, it doesn’t make you right
I wouldn’t be a valley if this mountain didn’t hide
and not without a little hill there on my other side
I need you both to get along so everyone can see,
how beautiful we all become with you two here with me”
The mountain then said to the hill, “I think you’re very tall”
And in response the hill replied, “And you’re not oh so small”
The three of them then went outside, the people wore a grin,
for they could see the beauty formed by nature once again
there is a moral here…

HERE COMES THE HUNGARIANS
A sign hangs like a star upon a building:
“HERE COME THE HUNGARIANS”
Delicious dishes that will please
The American and European palate.
My sisters on the right and my brother on the left,
Pressure cookers upon the stage.
Paprika to make you pretty, will make you blush.
And yes, plenty of sour cream.
Paprikash chicken with sour cream gravy is our specialty,
Served up with plentiful eggs and flour in buttered dumplings ,
With a side of dills or creamy cucumbers.
The four chefs will compete and make theirs the very best.
We will have to expand to sites stemming out from the South.
Our cousins will handle business in the Northeast, near Buffalo.
We already have family involved in flooring and carpentry
And one is the big boss of a well known restaurant.
We roll up our sleeves, the cookers ready – 1,2,3,4…check.
My sisters have a glint in their eyes whilst my brother plays innocent.
I have to tell the truth, one sister’s moved aside, for it is her spouse
Who mixes and pours. The pressure’s on. Dining room’s quiet –
Until the doors open at 5:00 p.m. sharp, and the crowd listens
For the familiar whistles, and the kitchen banter. Wine glasses
Clink over sparkling white tablecloths and they savor the smell
Of onion and chicken, beginning to thicken into browning gravy.
As the customers eat their savory meals, my dad plays
The Hungarian Czardas on his clarinet. And the satisfied
Tongues sway to the folksy dinner with oohs and ahhs.
This five star gem, okay I brag, will rise to historic fame!

That is the first time that Santa had to make
a wise decision: to keep, or not keep Christmas?
He'll disobey the restrictions to stay at home and take
his sleight ordering the reindeer to fly away immediately
and deliver presents to all anxious children waiting
by the fireplace not too sure of he'll come oohing!
What seems so thrilling could be forgotten and be put away?
" Adorable kids, I won't miss another Christmas,
no snow can stop me and my elves are coming to help me;
lookout for me and hear my oohs, stay awake!
Check the time and expect many surprises, I will make
you happier than ever: smile, and thrill me!
If your mom tells you to go to sleep, wait until Santa arrives!
What's are those noises over the shaking house Nick asks? Why
those harmony bells and soft grunts of deer are heard?
What's that laughing sound coming from the snowy and silent sky?
Nobody is expected after midnight unless it's our dad!
Mom takes a look and exclaims with surprise
It's Santa! It's Santa. He has kept his promise!"
Mary, Jim, and Nick look up as their faces gleam,
and widening their thrilled eyes they scream:
" It's Santa! It's Santa! He finally made it to our town!
We thought that he wouldn't show up ever again!"
" I had a change of heart ", Santa confessed smiling,
" I couldn't disappoint you because of this pandemic, you are
braver than I am wearing your masks and washing
your hands often as a good deed for yourself and others;
don't let your guard down and show that you care! "
Listen to your parents and you'll be fine, this will be ending
soon and you'll play outside your favorite games! "

oh love devine
might I speak you
as lover
we as one
oh love devine
speak me as yours
speak me true
as I might tell the world
you are mine
>>>>>>SHE ANWSERED>>>>
what makes you happy
what makes you mad
are you less trusting
when you are sad
before tommorrow
what is defined as us
love faith and understanding
you define us
guess I can do it
love, to define
what is love
that one of a kind
endearing and specials
most of which
it's all so much engaging
--------------------------------
there's music in the air
inspiration for love
what's better than love
whats better than love
the oh I
the ah oohs
the perfection of beauty
i say to you
what's in the question
what's it all about------
We struggled along damp, smoke-filled streets;
leaves still summer green,
a chilly breeze rustling some, turned golden early
in anticipation of the fall.
Neil at one end of the log;
me at the other.
Occasionally we paused our journey, rested;
took turns with the diminishing gobstopper;
and backward walking with the heavy branch.
Early October, our collecting started;
we had first-dibs on Ethel Jones' old settee,
two shabby chests of drawers,
about a mile of rotten fence,
branches collected from the woods,
assorted liberated shrubs,
and now, of course, a giant log.
We were to build
the most monumental funeral pyre;
the street had ever seen,
topped with fabricated Guy,
long-wheeled from door to door
for a penny here or there.
It would be the biggest and the best,
standing proud in the bombed-out lot,
that was our playground,
but once home to family and friends.
November fifth would come,
the bonfire built, would fiercely burn;
cracking windows with the blistering heat
scorching paint on faded doors.
Part-cooked potatoes
thrown in the embers;
would later, held in hands
be greedily eaten with a spoon;
steam rising from damp, woollen gloves.
Red noses, rosy fire burned cheeks,
sparklers waving patterns in the dark;
oohs, aahs; and gasps at fiery rockets,
whirling Catherine wheels and jumping jacks.
Then time for bed
Our grubby faces,
smoked stenched hair and clothes
would last a week
'till bathday.

I am like a pretty jalopy that has accumulated rust
A proud chassis but with a droopy fender now
No one oohs or wants to purchase me now
Which is great for I am not for sale in any kind of way
My chrome bumper which was glistening sterling
Used to be a drum majorette for parades in the 40’s
I sit in an old farmer’s back lot now, hidden from the ones
Who have bought up land and are building pristine brick houses
There used to be a great-great-grandson who would jump inside me
Play with my steering wheel, honking the horn
But it has not worked for a long time
Critters live under my hood in the winter
I have become a shelter for those who need one
No longer a showpiece, not flashy or sassy
But I remember and I smile, as the critters seek shelter
Neither of us satisfied but it is a start sometimes.
That really is my trademark. Day to day, week in, week out. If something happens and the crowd roars, I shut up.

Good is not good when better is expected.

Don’t let the winds blow your dreams away…or steal your faith in God
~ Quotes by Vin Scully
WHO WAS VIN SCULLY
Who was Vin Scully? I can surmise that he was wise.
He knew when to let life take over. He’d bend to the crowd’s
delight, stop his galloping tongue when the stadium exploded
with applause, oohs, ahhs, cacophonous roars.
Good is not good enough - how tough do you have to be
to leverage average? It is quite alright to be disappointed,
even angry in a less than stellar performance. Better
was expected - before they took the field, the dreams
of glory against the other team. Esteem not, poor performance.
We view life as a sports game. Defeat can bring a grounder.
Depression can still every bit of light, the dreamweaver
kicked to the curb. Pick up that ball and bat and crack
that stitched odyssey out of the park than grab a footlong
and foaming beer and celebrate with all your teammates.
Bless the Lord who gives excellent dreams, allows the
arrow to stay a little too long, pulling back, pulling back
and still not ready but oh…oh when it flies, when
the little white globe, like a full moon, sails in just the right
direction over the spectator’s heads, breaks the speed
of light then it…all preparation, all potential energy, all
the teamwork was worth the wait, and the commentator
can say goodnight…rest in peace Vin Scully.

~The Comma Butterfly~
I am a comma-not a full stop
I’m tawny brown and black and love on stinging nettles to hop
I love the elm and hop plant for flitting on too
I do all the other things butterflies do
I am not a great beauty like some of the rest
My fritillary wings do work just like the best
I don’t gain the oohs and arhs as I give butterfly kisses on my way
Some here call me a moth-well what can you say.
I flit and I kiss from elm to nettle
I always do my best and show them my mettle
A British butterfly I have beauty in my own way
Look under my wings and I bet you will say
Oh look there’s a comma marked under its wing
I suppose it a butterfly really poor thing
I flash them my markings before flitting on my way
I have so many more kisses to give out today.

Red rock territory up ahead
Cheerful engineer
Train’s brakes made horrible sounds
We began slowing down
Oohs and ahhs
I looked out the window
The Dakotas were like nothing I had ever seen
I never dreamed of red hills like this
Are we there? I asked the man sitting across from me.
No, but we are closer, he told me.
He was coming out for gold.
California was our destination.
I was coming out to seek a new life for myself.
To escape an abusive husband.
I had fabricated my story to him.
Pretended to be widowed.
Now to figure out a new name.
One I would answer to.
The red mountain gave me hope.
Fresh start. Fresh air. A new day.
A new everything.
The skillet hung near the old wood-burning kitchen stove.
Aside from her family, Mom considered it a special trove.
With that blackened old pan she prepared delicious repasts,
That in my judicious opinion will ne'er be surpassed!
Ah, just to recall the tasty grub stewed up in that old skillet!
How it tingled my taste buds just sliding down my gullet!
The chicken, steaks and chops in that old pan she did fry,
Evoked oohs and aahs and many a contented sigh!
She liberally dolloped lard in the pan 'til she had it just right,
Then concocted stews, soups and fried taters for our delight!
Mom was never concerned about such things as saturated fat,
Or life-threatening cholesterol and such things as that!
I suppose medicos today would have a conniption fit,
If they knew of the dietary sins my Mom did commit.
She must've done something right - her spouse lived past ninety-four.
Her kids outlived the odds, each reaching four score years or more!
Self-anointed wizards deem cast iron skillets detrimental to our health,
But I think they're just peddling new fads to add to their wealth!
My dear spouse uses her old iron skillet most every day.
I feel fit as a banjo regardless of what so-called experts may say!
