My heart was stolen by your bright, clear eyes
Sleek fur, silky smooth, soft under my hand
when you were killed I was so traumatized
Had you only obeyed my last command?
Was a perfect day in garden enjoyed
Watering the lawn you scampered around
High summer sun a memory so spoiled
By end of the day you were underground.
Ocean was calling a trip to the beach
Summer waves rippled in delightful way
Fevered excitement then I lost all speech
My order ignored on that fatal day.
If only dear Lottie you had obeyed
These painful memories never assuaged.

"I carry your heart with me(I carry it in my heart)I am never without it.
Quote _ by E.E. Cummings
Lovely Lottie, you were my heart and life
Living to make mischief never complied
Antics so constant she enjoyed the strife
Jack Russell terrier puffed up with pride.
Postman received a particular bark
Then quiet until those letters did drop
All hell would break loose the dog went berserk
Mail ripped to shreds until frenzy did stop.
Sneaking upstairs she would jump onto bed
Brown eyes shone with most sincere pleading look
In truth, no problem she slept like the dead
Smiling I settled with favourite book
So many years and such a faithful friend
Heartbreak so painful when her life did end.

Lottie wore lots of scent
You could smell her wherever she went
It was so strong
She didn't half pong
She wasted the money she spent

An ancestor known as, "Miss Lottie"
Was a New York socialite "hottie"
To her lasting disgrace
She slapped Paul Revere's face
When he invited her to the p-ah-ty

3,000 tons of space junk going around the earth
Bits of metal uselessly orbiting for what it’s worth
The UN wants to clean it up for all of our good
But ownership of it is the issue for cleaning as it should
With countries such as the USA having their say known
Not wanting other countries to touch their ones they own
Some of this junk falls to earth causing a problem because of it
A woman named Lottie Williams being the first person hit
So what to do you may think is a problem for us all
Maybe there will be a day when the UN will make the call
And there will be a treaty to get the junk down
There will be no problem when the junk is not around.

1877-1913
RS was my best friend,
A friend ever to the end.
Together we footed and mounted
The pliant limbs of the Hybrid Tree
On County Road,
And wetfully whistled,
As with birds in the warm zephyrs
Of summer solstice,
At the lassies down below,
With young and perfumed necks naked,
Ready and shivering,
For the ghost dance.
Together we skipped smooth stones,
Upon the staid surfaces
Of the state school pond,
Out back among the chicken coops
And the pig pens;
We howled and hollered,
As with hysterical night beasts,
Wild under the stars!
Together we passed scented posies to Lottie Gordon,
Our intended island of private discovery,
Our intended treasure,
Our intended Holy Grail!
And with silent tandem ascensions,
There in the enticing moon shadows,
RS and I found a home in the Gordon heights,
Inside the inviting spread-out mansion,
Of a hundred breathless whispers.

Cat lover Laura Lottie was much too fat
a chair was in jeopardy if on it she sat.
She was six ax handles wide
people quickly stepped aside.
But not seeing the cat, on it she sat--splat.

Viola Fuller
1879 – 1909
For it is written in solemn Chinese ideography,
That two women under one roof spells trouble.
For indeed my life found trouble
And death quite early due to influenza.
I spent my leisure hours in China Town
16 miles to the west in old Los Angeles.
Spent hours in the mildewed shops and the seedy cafes.
Finding culture, romance and ruin in the moody moonlight!
Finding spontaneous spasms in the back musty rooms.
It is true Roscoe Settle found my inner source.
He probed for the truth of my deep hidden springs.
Riveting moist springs of passion and sexual majesty.
Together, as like intertwining tied ribbons,
We embraced the spectral fireworks of a multitude of shooting stars!
Embraced the soaring glissandos of life and love!
But in the end
I decided to kill him dead.
I could not bear for one more minute, the other woman,
That other thing named Lottie Gordon.
But it all backfired on me.
For instead, I killed his father,
One Marcus Settle: late of Whittier Town.
Forgive me Providence, for I have sinned.
But in my sin,
I have found eternal rest from my nagging jealousies.
Found eternal peace from the tortuous kisses
Of one Roscoe Settle!

They Were Hit By Falling Space Debris
By Elton Camp
The only death from falling objects up to now
Was suborbital junk that killed a Cuban cow
Cow nor its owners were available for interview
So we can’t be certain that the story is even true
A report that’s reliable and very well authenticated
Took place in Oklahoma and in 1997 it is dated
While Lottie Williams was taking a walk in a park
A fragment of woven material hit her out of the dark
A report from Shaanxi Province in China is also true
Falling satellite debris struck a young boy in 2002
As to his injury, the boy’s father saw the reason why
Thundering sound and piece of metal fell from the sky
It was extremely fortunate that Wu Jie wasn’t dead
Space junk broke the child’s toe & grazed his head
Now another satellite is lowering & about to fall
But there is probably nothing to worry about at all
