Made To Order Poems

Visiting a Mansion

When visiting a mansion
That’s become a restoration,
It’s cool to see a property
That’s way above your station.

The verdant lawns with giant trees,
The gardens all in bloom,
The stained glass in the windows 
Of each river-facing room…

The made-to-order furniture,
The statues and the art,
The butler’s pantry where the fancy
Dinners get their start…

The books in leather bindings
Lined up neatly on the shelves,
The lamps and fixtures next to chairs
Where folks relaxed themselves.

It’s fun to fantasize about
The life styles of the rich.
I wonder, though, how they would fare
In my house, for a switch.

Extraordinary Creative hats

Premium MemberMade With Love And kindness


It's a soup that's made to order never from a store   
A little bouillon treat that's filled with herbs galore 
Not the kind you get from packets, no not that kind ! 
with itty bitty chicken bits it has onions you can find. 
I start with chicken base then add a clove of garlic,   
turmeric and salt with a dash of home made magic. 
I simmer for an hour while the veggies steam & swim,  
singing in a playful voice,   "a little blessed hymn".     

I start with a clean counter then tuck my hair right in  
wearing pinafore of white, with little ducks that swim    
I stew it then I stir it, with a large wooden spoon 
telling funny stories to a soup that cooks til' noon 
Made with love and kindness, it really hits the spot,    
I cook it just like mama did, when I was just a tot.
It's a soup that's made to order, never from a store,    
this little bouillon treat is filled with herbs galore.
 
Enjoy !

Made To Order

Patented and perfected
All the right ingredients
Customized and manufactured to specification
in the right environment
in the right quantity,
FDA approved
And physician prescribed
Packaged and delivered
to homes and businesses…
Love as a product,

If love can be sold
in capsules, bottles and tin cans,
At every street corner, in shops and online,
Advertised in Newspapers, TV, Radio and Internet…
Love can spread everywhere
carried in pockets and purses,
Love will be a potent antidote 
to the venom of hate.

Premium MemberMabel Mended Macrame

Millie’s mother Mabel mended macrame
Mainly Marseilles-made macrame,
Maddening moments mending machine macrame
Mostly made-to-order, mostly May macrame.
Making May mostly made-to-order macrame means
Many months modifying Malaysian macrame, mostly!

Premium MemberThe Beat of Drums

From somewhere the beat of drums
Steady rhythms piercing my senses
Persistently thump, thumping a bass
Thump, thump, thump, thumping
Behind unimaginably monotonous lyrics
And I longed for a crooner like Sinatra
Center stage with a single spotlight
No flashing strobes or crystal disco balls
Or pounding migraine made to order

Premium MemberNeither Notice the Eiffel Tower

A European holiday, breakfast in the finest city in the world
Paris, so beautiful in the morning.
She sits with her back to the Eiffel Tower, 
because this is her sixth day here,
And she is being witty and charming. 

The croissants, and eggs are made to order.
Silver teapot and coffee pot old world charm.
Her handsome young man faces her, not seeing
anything on the table or the Eiffel Tower.
Her beauty takes precedence over everything else.

Made-To-Order

seemed to 
have 
wanted a 
made to order
custom-made
tailor-made 
ideal person 
to be at beckon
call 
an individual 
who was 
expected to
always 
perfectly
faultlessly 
flawlessly 
give 
emotional 
feedback 
randomly 
at a drop of a hat
like some kind of 
a physic mind reader

Spent Adult

I adore you, curled and satisfied, 
your beauty full displayed, 
the swell, the fullness of your breasts 
make thoughts of sadness fade. 
Your lips so red and aggravated, 
trembling with desire, 
your form exhausted from the fire, 
my manhood enervated. 

Spent, the zenith of our passion 
sealed and stricken with a kiss, 
we lie content, the aftermath, 
the pinnacle of bliss. 
It's heaven, the summit of our love, 
enshrined in dreams so rare, 
a promise made to order 
with a locket of your hair.

SADDLED SIINCERITY

I have a lot of friends who talk with temerity
Some softer souls speak with sincerity
There is no need for me to see their face
And I can tell which one it is whatever the case

Is it the one that tells me she’ll do all that I need?
Or will it be the other one who does bad deed after bad deed?
The liar’s lips quiver I’ve found over my many years
And when you threaten to leave beware of the well honed teeth her from crocodile tears

Some I can tell immediately by the way they choose to speak
Other times I seek out a newborn calf so very weak
Lost from her mother while sleeping upright
Those are the kind I rob with the greatest of delight

Those naïve ladies are made to order for a wild mustang for me
Now all they’ve got to do is saddle me up and simply to mount
I’m telling you people these kind of ladies give love away virtually for free
I’m cunning but I’m also wrong because my last lover left and emptied my bank account

Louise

L et me introduce you
  to someone I'm pleased to know
  she came into my life
  several years ago.

O ur family gained an asset
  when she was married to my son
  and it didn't take her very long
  till she was loved by everyone.

U tah's where their home is
  for 18 years or so
  I always visit every year
  September's when I go.

I love to be around her
  I feel just like her Dad
  she always makes me feel at home
  for which I'm very glad.

S he has the Patience of a Saint
  of this I can attest
  she taught me to solve Sudoku"s
  and didn't get depressed.

E ven though I'm kinda slow
  she treats me like a king
  she's always at my Beck and Call
  and I don't want for anything.

  If Daughters-in-Law were made to order
  I could turn them down with ease
  cause I already got the best there is
  her name - of course- LOUISE.

"oysters In Love"

Memories of stolen weekdays by the water..
Oysters on the half shell and made to order..
Your hair in the sun made my heart warm and race..
My desire I couldn't hold as I slowly kiss your face..
So many all around us, but our hearts drawn close..
Conversations I can't recall because my eyes follow your lips..
As we walk to the car my arms lightly hold your hips..
For one last look as the sun beams over your shoulders..
I kiss your neck to the back of your ear and slowly whisper
as I pull you close and so near..
These moments we did not steal, much too precious for a love
we forever feel...

Ready Mixed

11-9-08




I an ready mixed
Not made to order
I am the Queen Daughter, of the Master at hand
Not created to be pushed around
I am a perfect blend 
Not to be abused or misused
But to assist you when you are confused
I am made to have and to hold
Made from your rib to love and mold
I am ready mixed to help when you had a bad day
And to balance the check book to make everything okay
I am your confidant to trust, to obey
I am what you need me to be
As long as in the realm of Father God’s 
Plan you never stray
I am ready mixed
To bear your child, to handle anything as long a I am respected
Please don’t miss read my ingredients
Thinking that sharing me with another is part of my life style
I am ready mixed 
Not to be unleashed  or to be made part of any scandal
I an ready mixed by the best from
A hand full of the dust of the ground
A breath from the life of God
One rib of man
The perfect amount blended 
Made of the finest ingredients
Because my Father created me to know that 
He will not give me nothing more than I can handle
