The Super-rich
Wealthy people, rich men
find sitting on a heap of money only
is not fulfilling
Therefore, many wealthy men dabble in
something else, like car racing or dabbling
in gift cards promising a large sum of money
For the "richest man in the world" interest
is political, helping to shape the future
Elon Musk is the person who thinks he has
made the right choices, helping Trump
His adoration for Trump, based on the hero
worship and not about sound politics
He is an ingénue that makes him take side
even when he might be chasing
a white elephant.
Then again, should he succeed, he will get
blood on the tooth and dream big dreams
Since he is not born in the USA, change
the law and become president of the USA
In his mind, he is a wizard, a dreamer
who has had his fantasies come true
Since he tends to be autocratic
behavior might end up in the fascist camp
That is not what I wish on a potentially nice
person, like Elon Musk
Reality is hard to replace
our white elephant is a disgrace
she parks herself wherever she places
usually taking up needed space
in the old days she would win a race
now she'll barely outrun a turtles pace
kids use to play on her face
on her trunk their hands would trace
upkeep we still embrace
her past is hard to erase
through the hands of time she lies in God's grace
through our hearts we loved our old faithful ace
and now the time has come to part waste
the deed to ole rusty bomber is in the brief case
soon her ashes will be placed in the family vase
when the setting sun covered her tears with lace
as the tow truck took away ... her final breath
... reality is hard to replace

Christmas is here
The family is gathering for the holiday cheer
We should all be excited
Completely delighted
We are all invited
To the bowling alley again this year
For a few good laughs
And lots of good beer
Where nobody naps
With open taps
Little ones doing laps
Music blasting
Lights flashing
Teenagers dashing
Pins smashing
White elephant laughing
One big Christmas celebration
With plenty of family medication
Grandma's feeling the holiday sensation
All of us living these positive vibrations
Hope we all will be there this year
So well done
I believe I can speak for everyone
This holiday event was so much fun
Christmas with family, you have nothing to fear
Always a blast with so much cheer
We should make it a holiday premier
Darrell & Lola have truly spun
This memorable day for everyone
Nothing like sharing a holiday meal
How getting together with friends and family
Really makes your soul feel
Together with loved ones priceless
Be sure to seal
This special holiday deal
That will fulfill
Everyone's Christmas thrill
I love you because
You are in my heart
I love you because
Your words are my guide to my life
I love you because
Your eyes are my lights to my dark
I love you because
Your beauty is my inspiration
I love you because
I want to sail this ocean with glee
I love you because
I am in your heart and thoughts
I love you because
My thoughts and soul is in your love
I want to live my dear
With you to live with love and peace
Say My Darling
Say My Darling
What do you want in this earth?
The sun or moon
I will fetch them for you in a second
Say My Darling
What can I do for you
To pull down the sky in to earth or
To dry all oceans in a minute
Say My Darling
What is your wish to have
The White elephant of Heaven or
The precious diamond from the crown of Jupiter
I will get you in a fraction of second
What ever you want ?
Just your word is enough to accomplish
Say Darling just by sign
The value of books
Late afternoon, the sun has left the terrace and is in the back throwing up dust before reluctantly slinking west and sinking
into the sea beyond the seas.
The townscape is charming red-roofed dwellings among the many trees that are deep green this time of the year.
Near the sea are two big edifices, One has luxury flats on top for the people called the “jet-set” It is where scrawny women live
on lettuce a day and Valium.
Next to that house, a white elephant, a skeletal hotel that
was abandoned when the would-be owner went broke.
In the calm bay two small cargo ships of uncertain age riding
the anchorage waiting for the morning, it baffles me how these old ship makes money, two bags of rice here and a barrel of wine there; perhaps they fish and live healthily
but I do hope they have books, if not the lacuna of empty time must be heavy on the mind.
When I was a seaman, I read hundreds of books to pass the time
some rubbed off so the time became useful, like automatic learning.
Facing mounting pressure to do
What you really don't want to do?
That's easy as pie; holler a firm no!
Saddled with white elephant unasked for?
Say no and quickly return to sender!
The cackling devil tempts you
With enticing bait,
And threatens dire consequences
Should you reject it? Just do. Say hell no!
Beat him at his own diabolical game;
Make him taste his vile medicine
Should he tell you to dance for him.
Yes, it's funny to tell him lies, my chum.
Just tell him..."I'm sorry, I've got two left feet!"

Lemon tinted phase
gilded skyline blown
by ethereal fused mist
eager bard imbued
opal dream flotilla
beyond tarnish while
flash point chariots
of gleam-well canvass
astir or astern perforce
taunt a hued vase
porcelain image fest
for stoic earthbound
soul’s cry parched
stoic migrant famish
sapphire plume ray
bounty veridical
pink chalk sketch
granule blush pots
pearl beam spur
to jumpy pilgrim
white elephant garb
drifter’s lull prone
metre of skewed
and barren glib
dull tossed aside
rambles and brambles
from cerebral quartz
grey quirky quill
nose twitch petrichor
glacé smelt rain
lava veined fillip
fervent fetal floe
ignited indigo inkling
as noonday nuanced
glance en dash
away from orange
peel cloud skies
toward spring rush
urban junction fare
as founding cue
for zeitgeist driven
western world eden
The merchandise looked perfect
Longing to have this master's work
Everything about it would make my life complete
The legs were perfect even and balanced
Even the color of the merchandise glowed and I desired
It spoke to me of how it would fit in a nook in my lonely life
I planned and planned how I could have it
Dreaming day and night
The day finally arrived
It was delivered to my home but where I placed it
The whole area it consumed
It seem to overpower everything
The color so beautiful at the store
Became dull unfashionable
In my life it became a bore
Looking at the monstrousity
As it smiled so cunningly at me
I wanted to throw it out the door
I called Salvation Army come get this merchandise
Remove it out my door
I should have know that it was a White Elephant
The minute I eyed it at the store!!!

“Christmas is like candy; it slowly melts in your mouth sweetening every taste bud, making you wish it could last forever.” – Richelle E. Goodrich
Xmas means
the time of winter people love.
Traditions there are plenty of,
especially where Christians live.
A time to celebrate and give!
A time to give to all those who
we love so much and strangers too.
Salvation Army rings its bell.
Donations we should give and well!
Xmas means
the time to think of One who lay
one night upon a bed of hay,
Who died in innocence because
His way of saving us it was.
A time to pray; a time to play;
to maybe ride upon a sleigh.
To hear sweet children shout with glee
and decorate a festive tree.
Xmas means
a time that kids look forward to
and all the wrapping parents do.
White Elephant, my favorite game
and Secret Santa – draw a name!
A time for making special treats
to give the neighbors - mostly sweets!
To plan for parties and to send
cards to every special friend.
Xmas means
a time for songs about God’s son
and silly kids’ songs just for fun
like songs of Santa and his reindeer.
Almost all those songs bring good cheer.
A time of great anticipation
for our children’s great elation.
Special shows for all to see
and pretty gifts beneath the tree.
Xmas means
when family can be together
finding ways to enjoy the weather -
like skating, sledding down a hill,
or making snowmen, too a thrill.
The ham, the turkey, all that food.
The Christmas spirit, the best mood.
It’s sad that some alone will cry.
To share the joy we all must try!
