J-ust as solid as a rock,
E-ver firm is your true faith;
S-tanding strong against the wind,
S-taying tough with love so great.
I-t's as solid as a rock,
C-ompleting the race is your goal;
A-iming to reach the finish line, for the salvation of your soul.
B-e brave on January twenty-first,
A-s you remain inside the flock;
Z-ealously learn to be ardent,
A-s solid as a
R-ock.
R-ight after the blazing tears
O-f the eyes that cry a sea;
S-tress of the mind will fade.
E-arly twentieth of January.
R-eleased by the blazing tears
I-s the deep pain of the heart;
V-iew inside gets in shape,
E-very trace of hurt will depart.
R-ock-hard heart doesn't bleed, while ache from crying disappears;
A-llow your soul to shed the healthy blazing tears.
R-un rings around,
O-vercome the devil decisively;
S-how marked superiority,
E-ver strong is the Almighty.
N-o retreat, no surrender,
D-ay thirty-first of May;
O-verwhelmingly we'll win over our faith's foe all the way.
G-o run circles around,
A-bound in hope, love and trust;
H-ave or possess courage,
U-ndaunted heart is a
M-ust.
J-ust pray to the Lord God, our enemy we'll dumbfound;
R-ock, shock and surprise him, let's run rings around.
R-ead an ode to poetry,
E-ach line makes much mirth;
Y-our heart will be warmed on the day of your birth.
F-rom ABC to villanelle,
A-crostic amazes the reader;
L-yric, prose and sonnet
A-re calming the howler.
M-ock epic, rispetto and stanza
I-n reality are artistic;
N-inth November morn
I-s beautiful and poetic.
A-llegory, ballad and cascade
N-ever retain the misery;
O-pen both your eyes, read an ode to poetry.

Hic, Hic, hiccup, oh my
had several drinks
over the last few hours
and my poor head is spinning
Hic pardon me 'tis the drink
my feet seem to be both left
I keep tripping over ouch
maybe a last one for the road
Hic that was not so wise
my hame is down this way
ohm maybe not I can't see
everything is in triplicate
"Hey there Tommy help me hame
I can not seem to find it"
"Well, Jimmy my lad, dear me
you sure are a sad sight
Looking like you fell
landing in a dirty gutter
lets get you to your hame
afore ought else happens"
Staggering along together
they heard the bells ring
"ock, New Year, hells bells
the hen will be mad at me"
I promised I would be hame
afore the midnite hour
Jimmy, came a harsh call
get your backside in here
Hey, hen do not be mad
I brought Tommy hame
he helped me after I fell
pour us a round of drinks
Let us toast in the New Year
several drinks later
not a simple peep
just the odd snore and snort
hen scottish for partner or wife
hame scottish for home
midnite scottish for midnight
Sir Rule, Ian Ballew and Ock, a marine
set off on a houseboat to study
the difference between greenish-blue and bluish-green.
The deep blue sky on that fog-foggiest of days
they mistakenly thought was the sea
which explains why to us, when they saw a green haze -
Ian whooped, "It's a film on the water!" And so...
Sir Rule smirked, "Ock, go get us some popcorn and Pepsi."
Ock started to cuss, "---, why do I always have to go?
Since blue means profane and if naive spells out green,
Who wins the Oscar? It's not hard to see -
greenish-blue, naively-profane - Ock, a marine.
or if you prefer:
bluish-green, profanely-naive - still Ock, a marine.
Author's Notes: The names in this piece are puns for the colors, cerulean blue and aquamarine. No reflection on the hard working Marines who serve our country so well.
