Once Upon A Time
Still a child at heart
tho' older are some other parts
and only for a lark
back to my childhood here I hark
I remember a rhyme
in the far reaches of my mind
hickory dickory dock
the mice ran up the clock
the clock struck one
the mouse fell down
luckily the plucky other ducked
shucked and jived
escaped survived
got out alive
and ran away
to live another

Plucky June
June showed her pluck at an early age
As prophesized by a pleasant sage
Six nuns tried to put her into a cage
This quickly made Omaha’s front page
Causing lots of readers parental rage
She is loose today, in Alzheimer’s stage

A Plucky Thanksgiving
A turkey was being plucked and it hurt
He was in pain and his fowl words were curt
He pecked at the plucker
Said “sing for your supper”
And then ran for his life overexert.
Now the turkey's in the altogether
He is feeling lighter than a feather
He's thankful to be here
And for losing his gear
All he

Happy Go Lucky Plucky
Be easygoing, jovial, beaming good cheer,
With a happy-go-lucky coat hiding gloom's smear.
Beaming a carefree heart, shining a joyful grin,
Let's rekindle the joyousness that lies within.
No troubles too heavy, no burdens too large,
Can quell a positive attitude in charge,
That finds joyfulness in the simplest recall,
Of revered and cherished good times, big and small.
All it takes is

The Sad Tale of a Plucky Duck
The Sad Tale of a Plucky Duck
There was a duck
that had the pluck,
the oomph and the nerve,
the courage and verve,
to leave the farm,
braving all harm,
on a fateful night
by bright moonlight.
All went well,
at least for a spell.
till it gave a last quack
on a beaten track
when a farmer’s truck
put an end to the luck.
of our brave

Plucky 2 By 9
The PRETTY princess sat alone again petting her KITTY
School HAD become a nuisance making her feel SAD
One THING will make it better promised the KING
"Retreat BACK to class, don't forget kitty or SACK"
He KNEW her intelligence soared but she's always BLUE
He CLAIMED her blessed, fortune would bring her FAME
Her STRENGTH quiet, she would go to

Plucky Two By Nine
Your retreat I watch laden with the heavy beat of your soles
Pray strength I keep father as this rough stretch calls to me
In light your teachings to follow my heart fright should not bring
Oh king you know well it’s dusk to kiss the lessons away
For school our private chats were and each scoop

Plucky Mother
You humbled yourself to a lot of demands
For you to get basic needs
Which you did just for my sake
So that I see the world and know
The real meaning of life
You were a heroine of sleepless nights
Whenever my health was faced with danger
For you to observe every minute change
Either improvement or deterioration
So that you make
