Flippin' Nora
North West England gripped
Wallace, Gromit full of quips
on everyone's lips
Netflix chiefs ask Who's Nora...
why was this poor woman flipped?

Nora the Pirate Queen is Rather Mean
She had blue eyes, but she was mean
I am speaking of Nora, the pirate queen
She tried to recruit the cousins, including me
I ran from her, for she was always nasty you see
I heard the only recruits that she could find
Was one willing dog and a cat who used to be mine
The cat was mean too,

Racing heart torn to pieces pounding from her chest, even after a bottle of Cisco

Nora Tries To Secretly Graduate
Nora told no one of her plan.
She had been secretly attending college for four years.
She did not expect to see anybody there except her friend Sug.
Sug could not keep a secret. She had told the press.
When Nora walked across the stage she heard “There’s grandma!”
The audience had been told to hold their applause.
Her relatives could

Nora Holds Her Kingdom
gorgeous pink castle with rainbow unicorn
glittery dazzling flakes of winter beauty
sparkle as they flutter down over and over
shaken by Nora, a delighted princess
she revels that she can hold her kingdom in her hands
smiling as her ballerina dances in rhythm to the floating flakes
snow globe magic enticing an eight-year-old girl

Nora Is Getting Poorer
I feel for next-house Nora
Getting poorer and poorer:
A plant facing stem borer
While she seems a goal scorer
Her idle hours rarer
State of things not fairer...
Nora's younger: Victoria
Is doing well in Pretoria
And her cousin Eugenia
Sure to become engineer ;
In South Africa clever
And there could live forever
No causeless xenophobia
When with host shares her beer...
I feel for

Protected By Grandma Nora
Prayer in the form of a lullaby washes over the nursery
Quintessential feelings of hope, love and joyful expectation
The baby feels beloved, reposing into his relaxed happy emotions.
We hear it on the baby’s monitor and freeze. Who is singing?
Locking eyes, we jump from the table and run up there.
Slowly open the door. The baby is fast

Lumber Jack and Grandma Nora
Lumber Jack likes his pancakes with kernels of sweet Iowa corn
Freshly picked out of his Great Grandma Nora’s garden
She spoils him by warming up his maple syrup and melting his butter.
He is a forty-six-year-old great grandson who lives at home
With his mother’s grandmother,
a kind hearted woman whom he carries from room to room
because at ninety-six

World of Nora
Her name was Nora, she had not had a house since she was in her twenties.
Parents died, her money ran out, her emotional illness kept her in the streets.
She was not just content, she was happy. Her life was fine; she had friends.
She sang, danced, and played her days away. In the evenings she

Nora Grey
In vacant halls, in her negligee,
A marvelous dream is Nora Grey.
Moonbeams scatter as she goes,
She smells of the rose!
She's in a purple mood,
Enjoying the quietude;
And longing for,
Thinking of,
Missing the past-
It went too fast!
Night plays a summer tune-
The jasmine's in bloom!
The spirit of yesterday
Has come here to stay!
Empty halls echo the night,
Windows admit silver moonlight;
Suddenly, in

Nora Aunor
By George P. Lumayag

The Super Snow Moon lighted our bleeding hearts,
That we’re staging the National Arts Month in February;
It reminded us to the king like the powerful wolf
Who defaced the rules of artistry
That he butted his unverified thoughts
To the heroine’s genuine and overconfident performances of art
That surpassed beyond a national badge of

Nora
I see the girl
with a smile in her eyes
How is it I suddenly realize
her name I know, Nora
She appears whenever
I'm ill at ease
Her eyes they flirt and tease
I smile and all is good
because of Nora
Others I tell of Nora
how I begin to adore her
The times we spend hand and hand
always together but never planned
always with

A Teaching Moment For Little Nora
Little Nora and Grandpa Bill
sit on swings in Grandma’s garden.
A hummingbird arrives to sample
the brilliant flowers at this buffet.
Grandpa Bill sees a teaching moment
and asks little Nora with a smile
if hummingbirds have beaks or bills.
Little Nora has a teaching moment,
says, “Grandpa, they have straws."

Aunt Nora
Getting high off 'Mary Jane'
that pungent potent weed
sticking needles in your veins
and getting higher than you need
'Aunt Nora' wont let you blow your nose
'French fries' will leave you in its throes
Moonshine will make you slur your speech
and sobriety may be too far to reach
'Scooby snacks'

From a Ruby Garland For George and Nora - My Parents -
Europe was frozen in a tide of hate
The genius Jew was being persecuted
Bound to the intransigence of fate
His violin played the tunes they executed
Now it was time to think as they electrocuted
The hopes of young people in the dawn of their history
Whose own stories would have so much mystery
Down in the baker’s the story ran
