When life leaves you lemons
deserved or not
some sunny summer's day
neither fret nor sweat
if citrus is all you've got
to show for your lot
to keep the blues at bay
be creative pull out all stops
keep calm stay cool
either squish or get off the pot
think of a drink
(old fruit)
and you're made in the shade
easy peasy lemon squeezy
simply put... make lemonade

To love you would be effortless
Easy peasy, free of stress
In quiet times when I'm alone
I write these poems on my phone
They're ways for me to let you know
The inner feelings I can't show
We'd be as one, in perfect sync
Intimate, no need to think
To love you I can clearly see
Effortless, that's how it'd be

Step right up and have a lick of this
it will make you smack your lips
with sweet vavoom that you can't miss
its will cure your all, plus its got zip
Common folks don't be afraid, here try
it will save Mary and maybe cousin Jim
Tastes like easy-peasy lemon pie
just hold the cup an clean the rim
Come closer and I promise not to bite
it will seize you immediately
You'll soon be feeling high as a kite
the best part is, my advice comes free
For a mere tend dollars you get to be happy
here you go, get a move on make it snappy.

Pastimes in summertime linger longer.
For the warmth of the sun is much stronger,
Creating sheer moments of bliss that last
And become such an enjoyable blast.
I stroll bare-foot along the sandy shore,
Feeling the caress of waves I adore.
Kissing my feet with the incoming tide,
Effusing the rhythmic pulse of the seaside.
I hear the shrill call of seagulls that thrill,
In the bounteous fish that fill each bill
With the bounteous haul that summer brings
As the warmth spawns more of all living things.
In summertime the living is easy
And fun in the sun so easy-peasy.

Giving peacock instructions was not at all easy
His version of English was the Midland Measy-peasy
By the time faerie finished her stomach was queasy
Did you understand? She asked the peacock, Teasy?
More instructions were taught by grasshopper Breezy
Teasy pretended to understand, shook his head easy.
Did none of the things on the list said faerie Cheesly.
Wishing he spoke different English than Midland Measy-Peasy.

In the cave Hearing an echo,
Calling my name name name,
Let go go go….
It’s hard because I’m forever engraved,
I lack empathy, so I can’t feel your pain.
After life, my soul remains endless
I want my eulogy about what death brings.
Full of life no emptiness,
Evil surrounds everybody.
I can’t stand it
My daughter is a princess, enchanted.
Reincarnated as an eagle soaring up,
Life after death is euphoria.

Abacus yacht boats pleasy
Banana boats are queazy
Catamaran boats squeezy
Dinghy boats all out easy
Eagle Craft boats too cheesy
Fishing boats yet so breezy
Game boats crazy uneasy
Houseboats creepy sneezy
Inflatable boats fizzy
Jet boats so smokeeasy
Kayak boats much so creasy
Lifeboats namely are busy
Motor boats mainly teasy
Narrowboats are but woozy
Origami boats leasy
Pontoon boats namely weasy
Q-Ship boats likewise greasy
Rider boats rather wheezy
Sedan bridge boats are flimsy
Trawler boats just as queasy
U-boats notably dizzy
Vessel boats sure are squeasy
Wakeboard boats easy-peasy
Xebec boats rather frenzy
Yacht boats are indeed sleazy
Zille fish boats funny fuzzy

Must get on with that poet-ry
while it’s still fresh in me mem-o-ry
where’s the paper, where’s the pen
must do a rough draft before I begin
oh, cuppa tea, cuppa tea, calling for me
What’s happening on facebook? Lemme see
…………must wash up after tea
trying to keep the place tidy you see
Lemme see if anything’s on facebook for me!
Cuppa coffee now, cos last time I had tea
me phone just went ping – who the hell bothering me?
……… lemme see, lemme see who’s texting me
Oh, what was I was about to do? oh me mem-o-ry!
always playing tricks on me!
Washup, check facebook, tea, coffee?
now it looks like the housework’s screaming to be done
better do some cos I’ve done none for ages,
oh whats that on the TV
That reality show is about to begin
I watch it every morn-ing
Let the fighting begin
Well, while I feel inspired I must do that poet-try
washup, check facebook, tea, coffee
What’s happening on facebook? Lemme see
easy peasy
you see
No procrastination for me!

part 2 of 2
“How’s school going?” Annick asked later, moving some of my fly-away hair out of my face - a trace of the maternal in her solicitous fussing - but I liked it.
“Easy peasy,” I said, the lie warming me like an ember or black magic.
There’s no real sibling rivalry between us. Imagine you’re Beyoncé’s sister, what are the odds that you’ll eclipse Beyoncé? Yeah, it’s ZERO.
“Ha!” she laughs, “you are such a little fibber.”
“I am NOT,” I hotly say, but my defense is ruined by my laugh. “I’m doing ok - but it’s a lot,” I say, to erase the fib.
They’re ENGAGED!
I tried not to act stunned but I doubt I was very convincing. The news thumped me like a gust of wind. Suddenly, I knew. Our yesterdays were no more substantial than a story we’d read together growing up, that you can mourn and rejoice at the same time.
Otherwise it was a family lunch, although at first I was a bit nervous around Gerard. At one point Annick says, “What are you doing?” as the table gently quivered.
I smiled wincingly, “Making circles with my ankles,” I said.
Annick smiled knowingly.

The Golden Rules
Since childhood, you're told to, "Obey and you won't stray, do it this way and not that way, then life will not be hard." Easy-peasy makes the world a happier place in life, simply by following instructions. Happily, it goes on ...

Into the barn to chew her cud with you and Baby Zoe.

By Mystic Rose and Robert James Liguori
When the sun goes down on this hillbilly town
I will meet you there where the stars never frown
Down in the valley where the trees breathe easy
you and I will walk the sea slow, then easy-peasy
and as your arm encircles me I will whisper poetry
Roses in full bloom in a magical night of romance
we together as one two tender petals hand in hand
rolling towards the wispy winds like a lovers dance
Then with precision we will write in the sultry sand
the truthful words of our destined, happenchance
When the whispering is through, I'll belong to you
as the paint on a palomino foal is golden new
our love together will glisten true
And then, getting in my rinky-dink truck
we'll ride back to town, while the sun comes up

(A COLLABORATION WITH ROBERT LIGUORI )
When the sun goes down on this hillbilly town
I will meet you there where the stars never frown
Down in the valley where the trees breathe easy
you and I will walk the sea slow, then easy-peasy
and as your arm encircles me I will whisper poetry
Roses in full bloom in a magical night of romance
we together as one two tender petals hand in hand
rolling towards the wispy winds like a lovers dance ;
Then with precision we will write in the sultry sand
the truthful words of our destined, happenchance
When the whispering is through, I'll belong to you
As the paint on a palomino foal is golden new
Our love together will glisten true
And then, getting in my rinky-dink truck
We'll ride back to town, while the sun comes up.
