“Blue moon you saw me standing alone
Without a dream in my heart
Without a love of my own.” Lorenz Hart
Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious
What an extraordinary eyesight
To gaze at a blue moon with delight
With its wonderful shine in the sky
That dazzles the iris of the eyes.
Eyes, indeed, are lured with such relish
Sky with such tints diffuses great bliss
Delight flows from the heart of viewers
Sight of such beauty charms good suitors.
Such scenes sink deep in the memory.
Seems the little blue bird’s taken flight
But they’re not giving up on the fight

The Pine Trees
By Patrick Lorenz
The pine trees lined the road that day
As I lay perfectly still
And there was a soft gentle breeze
As we slowly climbed the hill
And without moving a muscle
The sun peeped through the cloud
And I did not hear a thing that day
As they all stood in a crowd
The door silently swung open
I slid so slowly down
The pine trees stood there silently
As I touched the fertile ground
I didn’t hear the words that day
As the tears began to flow
But soon it was time for the end
And the time for me to go
The pine trees were there above me
Standing tall and so brave
Then all there was, was darkness
As they laid me in my grave
THEORIES
I know that many models mathematical,
And Chaos Theory, Big Bang, and others several,
Render long-term prediction impossible in general,
And solutions to problems at best temporal.
But the same is true of women menstrual,
And my teen’s bedroom full of random particles.
Lorenz and Poincare and others of that set
Could have saved themselves a lot of brain sweat:
My daughter needs no theory, her chaos is practical;
Big Bang is when my son falls and ends in hospital.
