Margaret Macdonald becoming CRMac's wife
led an active artistic life
Together made many a design
of floral motifs so fine
Bring me my pizza
So ideal and terrific
With exotic scents
And heavenly aromas
Cannot stop when consuming

Oh, how wonderfully innocent
and juvenile, 'twas for me.
You, scooting surreptitiously.
closer and closer to me.
Like a soft, gentle caterpillar,
slithering and smiling.
Making its way home in the
still of the night.
I clutched my lovely, flowered
handkerchief.
Then my gold cross with a
sparkling aqua gem upon it.
Really, wanting to not say, no.
My blue eyed Tommy boy.
In the Elmwood Park Spring, we
were about to kiss.
Fireflies came to celebrate this
celebratory bliss.
When we were moving beyond
flirtation.
It was as though heaven were
sending particles of stars,
To bless the softness of this
sacred night.
Of huge elm tress, your strong
arms about me.
Finally, those soft, tender lips.
There in God's silent moonlight,
I had my first teenage kiss!

Inspired by writings of Robert Lindley.Thank you!
Naughty Munchkin Mouse.
Little munchkin my wee small mouse
escaped from his cage and is loose in the house.
My dad say's, be quiet, you'll hear him scurrying by
and hope your mum doesn't find him, she'll scream and then cry.
I'll help you to find your naughty wee mouse
and I'll make him a new cage inside your dolls house.
Away from the claws of Jasper our cat
cause if he catches your wee mouse, then that will be that!
THERE HE IS, dad shouts as he points to the door.
So I rescue him quick from Jasper's sharp claw.
As I leapt and caught him up in my hand dad say's
I'll make him a new cage stronger and grand.
Then we'll place it safe out of Jasper's way
in your dolls house where you like to play
and we'll put up a sign on the roof of your house
which will read, 'MUM PLEASE KEEP OUT'
Because here lives Munchkin my naughty wee mouse.
My Mam Says.
My mam says that she knows best.
Her answers always right.
My mam says to walk away
if bullies want to fight.
My mam says just try and be good
and do the best you can.
So listen to what my mam says
cause shes a clever mam.
There's a million reasons I love her
I keep her closest to my heart.
Cause shes my mam who says I can
achieve anything I start.
Shes always there to help me
she'll kiss me if I fall, then shes the one
to come running if I get scared and call.
A glass of milk, a cuddle, a story to help me sleep.
That's my mam the greatest mam
and shes my mam to keep.

(Dorian 42)
Summer is fun, seasons hot
Umm, temperature just soar!
Moving 'round, is kind of hard
Makes one tired and rains some more
End of summer brings next fall
Rays from sun most folks adore.

Mm mmm m m mm mmm.
Campbell’s don’t have nothing on you.
If you asked for anything it’d be done in a sec.
For you there’s nothing I wouldn’t do nor regret.
If you told me to come over to keep you company.
I’d wait all night like people at a Star Wars movie.
My thoughts are having collisions; my mind’s in a haze.
When I think about you I get lost for days.
I would give up anything just to be with you.
Girl you don’t know you’re mm mmm m m mm mmm.
