CURTAINS

CURTAINS

Setting:  A couple in their bedroom.

Characters:
Wife:  Innocent and simpering. Dressed to kill.
Husband: Severe. Soberly dressed.

Dialogue:

Husband:	What is that you are wearing my dear?
		It looks like your mother’s curtains I fear.

Wife:	The boutique was closed; a bit of a bind.
		So I had make do with what I could find.

Husband:	I suppose that’s what’s known as window dressing.

Wife:	Oh Darling, I find that pun quite depressing.

Husband:	Far more depressing for your dear Mama,
		When she finds out where her curtains are.

Wife:	Do you like the net curtains I’ve used as a veil?

Husband:	Well … you might have removed the curtain rail.
		I foresee a problem you’ve not catered for.
		With that in you’ll never get through the door.

Wife:	Oh yes. An oversight of mine
		That calls for a little re-design.

Husband:	That’s all very well, but I’m still quite appalled
                And insist the curtains are re-installed.

Wife:	I thought you would fancy me in these.
		(Seductively) You can open the curtains whenever you please.

Husband:	I walked past your mother’s bedroom tonight
		And saw her undressed; a ghastly sight.

Wife:	Oh … I see what you mean.
                That’s quite obscene

Husband:   If you didn't remove the track,
                 I think you'd better put them back

158 Years and Still Counting Our Blessings

as the legacy lives on we're continuing to make it great
in celebration of Berean Baptist's 158th
a monumental journey that many would find impressing
but we at Berean just simply count our blessings
for there's no need to brag nor is there a need to boast
as we are only still in existence by the grace of the Holy Ghost
for 158 years we've stayed in prayer and preparation
by giving all the glory to God for our church's continuation

when Gideon went before the Lord God
and then asked the Lord to do His part
God then told Gideon there are a few things he needed to understand
if he desired the Lord God to place victory in his hands
you must be willing to step out on faith
and willing to sacrifice whatever it takes
you must faithfully believe in the cause
for the Kingdom is at stake and there's no time to stop and pause
you need to willing trust in God's instructions
and lean not towards your own for it may lead to destruction
you need to be willing to follow in line
and keep the Lord God foremost on your mind
you need to simply kneel down to God and pray
that as long as you have a will God will find a way
trusting in the Lord and no longer stressing
having no more fears and just counting your blessings

you need total faith and trust plus blind belief
that God will answer your prayers and give you relief
trusting in the Lord to always provide
believing that He is always firmly by your side
understanding that the Lord God is fully aware
of everything that you are going through down here
praying to the Lord and sincerely confessing
repenting and atoning and counting your blessings

chosen by the hand of God and now appointed
touched by the word of God and now anointed
in the presence of the Holy Spirit that has spurred you on
a new disciple of Christ now renewed and reborn
praying for yourself and everyone else who is around
lifted up by the word of God and now planted on higher ground
now living a life of substance and not mere window dressing
making it great in 2008 by simply counting your blessings

Premium Member Bottom Lines and Upper Level Climbs

A meeting was held 
Buzz was getting ready to tell 
Information that were facts 
Making people pack 
Since they got sacked 
When the canary entered the hive 
Already dungeon arrested in his dive 
Worker bees acknowledged he arrived 
Walking strong 
Knowing something was wrong 
Making a point 
Very early in the hornets joint 
“If I am leaving this rank 
This canary still has money in the bank” 
With a beat tea eye 
Taunted hornet accepted the goodbye 
Then using a stringer 
He unleashed two that were stingers 
Confirming being level 
With honey casted as the west ham devil 
Distancing themselves 
On the table shelves 
From Mr. Bourne’s mouth and his cherries 
Already buried 
Next to Aston’s Villa 
Who still a 
Small chance 
For the Claret and Blue Army to advance 
Another civil dialogue was taking place 
Royals in the crystal palace reality ready to face 
Pensioners pleaded their case 
Scoring quickly two like in a race 
Needing some grace 
Royals took a shot 
That was hot 
An explanation 
About this situation 
“Will all going to get fried” 
King Glazier did cry 
Then a little later 
Financial records were offered as a trader 
Queen Eagle did some addressing 
Adding two goals calling it window dressing 
Feeling they will find a way 
To pass the elite grade 
Top four Chelsea will stay 
Being a representative in more matches and getting paid

Only Serious Poet's Need Apply

As I strolled  down Beaker Street
A neon sign flashed in front of me

That said "Only Serious Poets Need Apply" 
(Blink) "Need Apply" (Blink) "Need Apply"

So it was I thought to myself
I can think of nobody else

As serious as a poet as I

I looked to the right and the left
Feeling pretty confident about myself

And decided to take a gander inside

The room it was totally dark
In the corner was the tiniest of sparks

I did a stately poetic stroll in that direction

Feeling I might have made a mistake
This thought occurred a little too late

But of course this whole scene might just be window dressing

A voice said we don't need a poet at all
Just someone dumb and gullible

That's the moment in my pants I started messing

Turns out it was a mad scientist
With a masters degree in craziness

What were his dastardly plans I could only be guessing

I was grabbed by a couple of ugly thugs
Who highly dislike deodorant and mouthwash

Tied up and flown off to the smallest of islands 

Where they did unspeakable experiments on me
In the first, second, and third degree

All because to insanity they took a liking

When it was they were finally done
With what those nut jobs consider good fun

Don't know how many walls they had me climbing

Daily now I plan my escape 
I only hope that I'm not too late

When the opportunity arrives I hope I don't blow it

I find it so hard to believe
That this all has happened to little ole me

And Why?
Because of me being such a serious poet

Honest Silence

God will hear you even when your quiet.
At least you know he'll hear the truth.
Because most of the time he's not going to buy it.
Better you should just yank out every last tooth.

That double edged sword of kindness and contempt.
Can leave you bleeding when your not sure what they meant.
A glare of a stare, you just not sure if they care.
Leaves you wanting to ask but you just don't dare.

There's mystery behind a mask of unspoken lies.
It's his story, should you ask, he's sure to defy.
The answer is eternal and not of this earth.
Tomorrow never comes, and that's about what it's worth.

Unknown secrets beyond the realm that we live in today.
Where honest silence can't be heard no matter what you say.
A hidden void when your annoyed that keeps them guessing.
Smoke and mirrors and hidden fears, is it all just window dressing?

Premium Member Td-The Donald

Ivanka and Melania walking the 5th Avenue Street 
Red Wolves stalking their beat 
Being ever so sweet 
Looking at the window dressing 
Critical topics they are addressing 
Knowing Daddy Donald will get them a treat 
If they make Democrats feel the heat 
Riding the hood 
Having an image that is goodie good 
Long way from the run way 
Always having an audience to what they say 
Loving her step Mom 
In one’s handbag code to the gossip bomb 
Staying very calm 
Both having fashionable ware 
Taking a share 
From booking and signing an art deal 
Then dining on gourmet meals 
It is fourth and goal to go 
In the game called ‘who do you know’ 
Defending the Delaware man from stealing the Oval Office show 
Should there be a pass or run 
Decision when done 
Will energize critics if executed and not won 
With the two state General in command 
Beachside resorts ready to make a stand 
Calling the bluff 
To those who claim to have the right stuff 
Or showing a hand 
Stating “Maybe better to be just a fan” 
Stay cool 
Little red wolves 
Be reminded at the pool 
There many of you
Getting their skin red 
Staying away from debt 
Granted they can get sun burn 
Which they would learn 
Under the moon light 
Romantic in sight 
Enjoy the sun and times 
Sipping the proper wine 
But when the final gun is heard 
Bringing calmness to the grid iron stir 
Something may occur 
High hopes to the mind 
Of those making a dime 
Riding the All American Acela commuter train 
Debating weather it’s going to rain

Love Versus Money Your Choice

Intelligence 
Knowledge 
Ivy League 
State Educated
Working Class 
Upper Class
Held in high regard 
Or a lowly security guard
Single Parent
Family of 10
Reared in a Pen
Holidaying in the Hampton's 
Penthouse suite on the corner of 5th and Central
Bus commute to work
Or Chauffeur driven limos 
And Broadway shows 
Or pint of beer and salt and vinegar crisps 
Hand me downs and a handshake from dad for a birthday gift
Can't buy love
Can't put a monetary price upon it
Its priceless 
Everything else is window dressing
There are as many if not more 
Unhappy wealthy people than there are poor
