An early morning sunrise while hearing the birds sing
When winter is finally over with the early signs of spring
Gardening and planting flowers and seeing them bloom
Watching the hummingbirds fly, as they zip and zoom
A walk with my dog in the early morning hours of the day
A call from a friend who I miss, since they moved away
A surprise from the weather when seeing a beautiful rainbow
Or enjoying the rare night viewing of the aurora borealis glow
An afternoon of reading outside while watching the birds
And escaping into the mystery book and its chilling words
Listening to John Mayer music while driving in my car
While going on excursions to new antique stores or a bazaar
A trip to the ocean to hear the waves crash along the shore
And feel my toes in the sand while watching seagull’s score
A quiet night home with my husband watching a Netflix show
A Friday workday when it’s almost the weekend and time to go
He starred in an episode of "18 Wheels Of Justice".
He died ten years ago today and his name was Chris.
He starred in a movie that is titled "Stunts Unlimited".
His fans were sad when they learned that he was dead.
When we lost him at the age of fifty-seven, we lost him too soon.
He starred in "The Dukes Of Hazzard" and "The Dukes" cartoon.
He was temporarily hired when the producers had to replace Luke.
I think that he did an admirable job when he starred as Vance Duke.
He starred in "Official Denial", "Raven" and "East Meets West".
He also starred in two episodes of "Xena: Warrior Princess".
He starred in "Liar Liar" and it's sad to know that he's gone for good.
He and Coy fought the system like a two modern day Robin Hood.
[Dedicated to Christopher Mayer (1954-2011) who died ten years ago today on July 23, 2011]
‘Cause a little bit of Summer
is what the whole year is all about

WEEKENDS
Summer at pool.
Staying cool, Sis!
Whirlpool of friends —
Laughter-cleanse splash.
Weekends play out every day, Sis!

Number one with cartoons were William Hanna and Joseph Barbera.
They started at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer in Culver City, California.
These two were the co-creators of the famous Tom and Jerry.
Beginning in 1957 was some of their amazing history.
So many of their other creations attained immense popularity.
Who doesn't know Yogi Bear, Quick Draw Mc Graw, and Pixie and Dixie?
Nearly everyone remembers The Flintstones, Jetsons, and Jonny Quest.
Scooby Doo, The Wacky Races, and Fantastic Four, are among the rest.
Both men are gone now, but they are still considered the best.

O, I love to attend a Cohen family simcha**
That is where I really love to be-e-e!
For when you're at a Cohen family simcha,
You are always treated roy-al-ly!
**A simcha is Hebrew or Yiddish for a happy event, such as a wedding.
The ditty above is to be sung to the tune of
"The Oscar Mayer Wiener Whistle Song"
Memories of you talking,
Simply talking to me,
About your day,
About a new song you heard lately,
About how you like worn out jeans,
And how you fangirl over John Mayer.
Memories of you smiling,
That smile with your eyes,
Crinkling up,
Creasing,
Happiness.
Memories of looking for that flower from Italy.
Turning on the flashlight,
Searching for it on the road,
And finally finding it back in your room.
Memories of that night we never wanted to end.
Our last goodbye.
Our last hug.
Our last kiss.
An end we never saw coming.
You said 'Remember me and smile someday.'
And I do.
So now, with no talks,
No goodnights and goodmornings,
I remember you and smile.
With an irreplaceable warmth.
And I am happy
Like I was before.
Through Their Eyes
From singer to sing sing
From prayer to slayer
This is the story of Mr. Mayer
I was a good boy, sang at church in the choir
That was when my mother killed my father
She didn't kill him, it was more of a slaughter
She beat him all the time
I thought it would be just another
We were in the kitchen, me and my brother
I was six, my brother was four
She beat him with a shovel
Until his head was a puddle
When I grew up, I condemned and loathed women
They should be helpless like when I was child
And man.....that's what I did, and it felt wild
It was mostly women with curly brown hair
I cut their limbs off with saws and knives
Then I made sure they were awake and alive
Now they couldn't move or kill anyone
I sat them upright, side by side in a row
I called them my shelf of useless torsos
I had a collection of four
Before I was caught
But I managed to keep some great snapshots

If there ain't no Bacon in Heaven
I'm gonna keep right on sinning
For hell's where I rather be
If I can enjoy my BLT
Now don't be a judging
No use of nudging
If there ain't no Bacon in Heaven
Then Heaven ain't for me
That pure smell of delight
That gets you to jump up from night
Bacon for breakfast, yes siree
Bacon Bacon all for me
The smell of Bacon
The taste of Bacon
The flavor of Bacon
Crispy, chewy, fry or bake
Bacon Bacon for goodness sake
If there ain't no Bacon in Heaven
That's hard for me to believe
For how could there be no Bacon in Heaven
When Oscar Mayer is the patron saint of meat candy
Yes there is Bacon in Heaven
Saint Peter those angel wings are mine
The taste of Bacon can only be Divine.
A dachshund named Oscar was he,
which adored trick or treating with me,
so I had me some fun
when I sewed a cloth bun,
for a Halloween weenie he’d be.
On his costume I added a trim
mustard yellow, but though he’s not slim,
he’s no Oscar Mayer,
so don’t raise his ire
by taking a bite out of him!
MY MAN MIGHT NOT LOOK LIKE CLOONEY
OR BE FAMOUS LIKE ROONEY
BUT HE WILL MAKE ME SWOON
AND IN DARK BE MY MOON
HE MIGHT NOT SING LIKE MAYER
AND LIKE HIM, WON'T BE A PLAYER
BUT HE WILL SURELY BE BRAVER
AND HE WILL LEAVE ME NEVER
TOGETHER WE WILL WEAVE OUR STORY
AND NEVER WILL WE BE WEARY
FOR OUR DAYS WILL BE SWEETER
THAN ALL THERE'S THAT GLITTER
Hail to the Dragon Slayer?
From Metro-Goldwyn Mayer?
What did he really do?
Except charge me and you
To joust another player!
Did Oscar Mayer
advertise since the Weiner
twitter scandal broke?
something went bad in the fridge and it smells just like feet
and at one point in time it was something to eat
but now its a haven for bacteria and mold
its not fit for consumption or for the stomach to hold
it was'nt the ham or the turkey or par-kay
the fruits were just fine and the milk was okay
i looked over the food that was left on the tray
and the left overs was made just yesterday
i reached over and opened the vegetable bin
and everything was fine when i looked there within
i asked myself then what could that awful stench be
that assaulted my nostrils and kept torchering me
i looked at the shelf and glanced at the 12 dozen eggs
then i asked myself could it be the custard i made?
i looked in the corner behind the kool-aid
there was oscar mayer balogne starting to fade
EWWW!!! YUCK!!!! GROSS!!!!
i'll never eat with toast !!!!
my balogne had a first name
but it never had a host.
lol :)
