Lovelorn Lady Listens to the Oldies

“What Does It Take to Win Your Love for Me?”       
A golden oldie’s lyrics—soulful, sad—
blend with my thoughts on love I thought we had,
but I saw only what I wished to see.
                 

Oldies

I’m laughing this morning, spontaneously. We’re not studying any more. Our sophomore school year is over. I’m giddy, giggling, like a 9 year old on sugar.
I think I just finished the hardest class that I’ll ever take - my last pure-math class, ever - and I got an “A.” Just barely - by two-hundredths of

I Should Not Drive To Oldies

I do not sing any of the new songs. But I can sing Let the Little Girl Dance.
Teen angel, I’m sorry, It’s now or never, everybody’s somebody’s fool.
Alley-oop, itsy bitsy teenie weenie yellow polka dot bikini and chain gang.
Poetry in motion, Georgia on my Mind, Little Ole Lady from Pasadena.

My foot is tapping in my

Dreams Abroad

Dreams run wild 
Can reach outside your home 
Your view and your heart
Anything outside your home 
May be full of expectations 
And possibilities
Anything not in view 
May be full of hopes
Anything outside your heart 
May be more heartening
So you travel with your dreams
And your knapsack on your back
One day you may be back home
With extra

A Dog With a Diaper

Many people pamper their pets
Love them so much
Treat them as small children
A dog with a diaper on 
For cleanliness
A dog with a mask on
For hygiene
A dog with clothes on
For tidiness
A dog with dog foods
For nutrition
A dog goes to veterinary 
A specialist 
To pets they pay a lot of attentions 
Maybe they deserve
How about their own

Thee Thou Thine Thy

Our Music Was Is the Best

It’s funny how each generation thinks their music is the best
that the songs of their youth are the best songs…
and how each generation knows that they are right…
and every other generations out there must be wrong…

For instance my generation listened to the Beatles, the Jackson 5…
we felt like dancing…we came alive.
We listened to James Taylor

Varicose

You're so varicose vein,
Youth is gone again,
I suppose I'm still lucky,
I found my glasses, you see,
That's as good as it gets today,
Let's hear it for oldies, yah!

Golden Oldies

The mellow sounds
of Lawrence Welk
are gone,
Guy Lombardo, too.
I remember when
Johnny Mercer
wrote the hits
and Dinah Shore
sang them true.
Do these names 
mean nothing
to you…perhaps
The Beatles are
your cup of tea?
Then think, my friend,
and be not dismayed
for you are nearly
as old as me!

Figment Inside

Wandering around the earth saying you love me? What do you know of love..,
If I thought you knew anything of love I would've stayed..
yes, there beside you in that little house, in that little bed.  
Not just locked away inside that thick head.

(I can't tell her she is only a figment)

Well., easy enough to

Golden Oldies

Laugh at Moe, Curly and Larry
  Sing along with Peter, Paul and Mary

Sprinkle in tiny Tinkerbell Faerie
  Curl up with some vintage Dave Barry

Don't forget the Adventures of Tom & Jerry
  Top it off with Little House on the Prairie



            

Golden Oldies

Dimes drop, records begin to drop
Rhythm to stroll,  jivin’ to hip hop
Slow to jitterbug,  boogaloo  to rock
Twistin’ Chubby and rock around the clock

The Platters sing, you hold her close
Eye to eye, love’s first dose
Beach Boys up next, time to surf
Steppin’ on toes, unmarked turf.

Malted shakes, pie a-la-mode
Checker board floors, tempo has slowed
Roadsters

The Oldies Blog

The oldies blog
I know of a writer/poet who has dedicated
His blog to old age, being considerably older
then him, I think he is on the wrong track.
To write about a poet who couldn`t find his
Specs, his wife saw them in the freezer beside
The ice-cream is chuckling, but overall people
Don`t want to know about infirmity.
To write down

Oldies But Goodies

Old guys happily jamming in bars--- is life's childlike pleasantry.
