What’d
I miss?
Clue me in!
Deer in headlights…
Asleep at the wheel.
By all means…after you.
Plain as the nose on your face.
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust -
November the third  w a s  cliché day!

Premium Member To Touch You

Oh, how I long to touch you
                     it’s just that  “I’m all thumbs”
and you deserve much more than just
                            a few remaining crumbs!
  
“An arm and a leg”, I would give
                     for one more chance, you see
But then again, if that's the case,
                            just where would we be?

You know that  “I’m all ears”
                     for any thoughts you’d share
But for a man “all thumbs and ears"
                           just why would you care?

“It’s as plain as the nose on your face!”
                         I need  “all hands on deck”
But with my lips, (I just have two!)
                               I could kiss your neck

“Ants in my pants” I hear you say
                   But just what would you know
As you’re the one here “all dressed up 
                                  with nowhere to go!”

“If all that glitters is not gold”
                    and I’m “all talk and no action“
Take off the makeup and go tp sleep
                            We’ll get no satisfaction!

The Shame of It All

Sometimes I wonder of
our constitutional might
some things that we do
be wrong or be right

This week will make history
no doubt it's a fact,
In burning the Koran
such a radical act

The man says he's a Christian
wants us to believe,
that Islam is evil
The Koran does deceive

He calls Muslim all fanatics
Come on man get a grip,
He's never read the Koran
He just shoots from the hip

Hate, he says comes from Muslims
Look at 9/11 " I say"
3000 innocent Christians
That died on that day

Let me say this to you Pastor
Plain as the nose on your face,
Your kind of remembrance
In this World HAS NO PLACE

We Christians should take great offense to what is going to take place in Orlando Fla.
on 9/11/10. I for one do......
