Goosies

Jennifer Lopez gets them a lot
when she listens to singers on American Idol.
Perhaps it happened to me a few times, but I can’t recall
the specific time that a song gave me the goosies.
Those crazy little...

Feeling ‘In-France ',
I sang- 
entranced...

"Once in a whole year
she orders the pizza!"

"The rest of it she's
spinning in place
saying chichineatza!"

But sometime, on the road to danger,

THINGS HAPPEN 

Pimples and dimples fighting for a beauty contest on my black rugged face. None of them will win. On my face - things are happening!
