My boring dentist named Phil
attacked my teeth with his drill
Didn’t need Novocaine
to ease any pain
went numb on seeing his bill
~ To the Tune of 'One More Night'
by Phil Collins ~
One more write, I gotta do just
one more write, there’s gotta be
just one more write
left in good old me tonight
Babe, without you I’m so lonely
but what moves me now is only
One more write, I gotta do just
one more write, for you and me tonight
Phil saw his shadow
I was hoping not
darn groundhog
Dorothy and her lovely small dog Toto.
Were all taken up in a fierce tornado.
Ran into three helpless bobos.
A Tin man, Lion, and Scarecrow.
No Wizard needed, just the Dr Phil show.
The three went to see Dr. Phil, a PHD.
No heart for the Tin man, just psychotherapy.
Told the Lion to get a set,
and the Scarecrow to not forget.
All thanked the Dr, and walked away happily.
The Wizard they all thought had magical powers.
Worked and schemed, behind his curtain, every hour.
His curtain was removed.
The people were amused.
Now, he plays behind the curtain in the shower..
Bobo: A slang Spanish word meaning half witted.

Philip Kim, aka Phil Wizard
can breakdance with the fury of a blizzard.
Some say the sport of breaking is just a gimmick,
but with its speed and athleticism, it belongs in the Olympics.
Phil Wizard, all things considered,
gave a great performance that really delivered.
His breaking is of the highest level.
Want proof? He's got an Olympic gold medal!
Phil was a philatelist.
And he gave out a stamp quite rare,
To family and friends, his philanthropy knew no ends
But that was not the affair,
For Phil was also a philanderer,
He dated Phylis every second night,
But what caused the distress was his wife caught the mistress
And so Phil ended up in a terrible fight.
Phils family and friends were furious,
Yet Phil was not contrite
He played his game without any shame
Guess who will be sleeping alone tonight
So the philosophy of this story
If indeed there is one I could advocate
Would be try to become a philologist
Or like Phil you might get an ending you didn’t prognosticate
met a friend...phil...at an english
school coffee shop called the
"you came" - 'bridge cafe'
phil...with his 'full loss of fees'
asked for one 'existent-shell' espresso...
as a wake-up phenomena...logically, on me
then, the diction....airy as it was...
just a 'full loss of why'...sewed wings
on phil over his 'full loss of sophie'
stans sand
the full-of-sophicals...
give
a full-loss-of-why...
as
a full-loss-of-fee...
but
to fill-loss-of-why's
is
to fill-loss-of-fees
and
to file-off-a-sophical
loss
stan sand
Punxsutawney Phil
a whole line in this haiku ~
hogging the limelight
Oh yes! Groundhog’s Day is here once again.
Here is our forecaster, he is not thin.
Punxsutawney Phil,
They gave him his pill.
Everyone says he is one of their kin.
We all wait breathlessly, is it a win?
I’m cuddling hard with Evil, my twin.
Oh, no! What to do?
Accidentally gave him blue!
That pill has turned this day into a sin!

Phil (A Memorial Poem)
Phil was more than a father, a mentor, a friend,
Though each day born in sunrise will come to an end.
Phil's day passed far too swiftly, although it spanned years,
His was light omnipresent to mitigate fears
Her strength failed to let go of, that surged when he set
Down his burdens (like rainbows some darker clouds vet:
In last brush with tall leaves, breeze surrenders its ghost)
With a sigh where no angel would hear a riposte
To a life so well-led, to the peace all will find
If Christ's Grace means a thing: if Love's proved more than kind!

Doctor Phil Sees 2020
By Franklin Price

Oh two-oh two-two oh -two oh
Punxutawney Phil's big thing
The halfway point of winter days
Progressing to the coming Spring
A one time numeric happening
Comes on this groundhog day
Front to back, or back to front
Reads the same both either way
Punxutawney Phil comes out,
His shadow on his mind.
He'll look in all directions
Doesn't know what he will find
Some people call him Doctor Phil
Shadow spotting his degree
If there is none, for him to spot,
An early Spring for you and me.
If there's a shadow there to see,
No clouds providing blocks,
Spring will wait another week
Until the Equinox.
Spring Equinox is twenty March
In the event you didn't know.
The next season is Summer
That's just how the Seasons go.
Doctor Phil
By Franklin Price

Punxutawney Phil came from the hill
And looked down on the ground
He looked in all directions
Not a shadow there was found
Has an honorary doctorate
Shadow spotting his degree
Because there was not one today
An early Spring for you and me
All the networks covered him
They think he's in the know
If Spring arrives in six weeks
Doctor Phil will get a show
On November the 6th, I voted against Phil Bredesen.
Yesterday, I was pleased to learn that he didn't win.
I also voted against Bredesen once before.
Back in 2006, when he was Tennessee's Governor.
This time he was running to be Tennessee's Senator.
I didn't like how he did his job when he was Governor.
Now he's licking his wounds because he didn't win.
Many of Tennessee's residents voted against Bredesen.
