The early morning sunshine peeks
Over the majestic mountain peaks
The mother louse , would quietly knit
A butterfly sweater for her newborn nit
Twenty pounds of dough has been kneaded
For eighty-one cheery pies the VFW needed
On a beautiful , brilliant, Blue Moon night
A fair maiden :Rescued by Sir Valiant knight
My Heartbeats life again : it has found someone New
My Dearest Barbeeg, Barbara Jean : I LOVE YOU
“ I Thought YOU Knew “
In Dedication to Barbara Jean Gorelick

Over the pine trees the ball I threw
Neighbor’s bay window the ball went through
My neighbor asked me if I would?
Come over to his house, split a cord of wood
In the woodpile see the chipmunk pray
I do not want to be the Bald Eagle’s prey
From the woodpile a gagging scent
A payment my neighbor’s skunk had sent

Sadly I heard my mother Groan
Look how tall my son has Grown
Poor little lamb what have you Heard?
Is the big bad wolf hiding in the Herd?
Now come and see the most amazing Feat
I will walk on my hands instead of my Feet
At the ball game sitting on the third Tier
The TWINS LOSE I shed a joyful Tear
Yesterday I had a dream, a dream so Real
Caught a Six pound trout with a Zebco Reel
Inspired by a comment on “Hodgepodge POETRY”
Dedicated To Raul Moreno
Give it a try my POETIC Friend

Off the rocky Mountain cliff , I Dove
I’m flying toward the lake like a Dove
Underwater I saw the largemouth Bass
Singing in soprano, alto, tenor, and Bass
To Maid Marion Queen of Sherwood , I Bow
I will bring home dinner, with my arrows and Bow
The Adventures of Robin Hood which I just READ
There are so many great classic novels I want to Read

There's a real old famous saying,
which has me wondering, just a bit!
"If all the world's a stage",
where does the audience sit?
One thing to me's a misnomer,
and I ain't fooling round!
Swimming, ain't no sport, my friend,
it's what you do, so you don't drown!
Somethings been confusing me!
It's messing up my head!
My wife says I don't listen,
at least, I think that's what she said!
"Let a smile be your umbrella",
so goes an old refrain.
But, if that's your choice, I guarantee,
you'll get a face full of rain!
Here's a point to ponder!
I wonder if it's true?
Infants can enjoy their, infancy, just like
adults who enjoy their adultry, do!
Here's a very startling fact,
about a very unique situation.
There's a very old Country, where all autos are red!
You could call it "A Red Carnation"!

How does a well dressed man differ from a dog?
It will come to you, if you give it a chance!
Time's up - A well dressed man wears a suit,
a dog - just "pants"!
If there's a cow, that gives no milk,
which would really be unique!
Would you call that cow "a milk dud",
or an "udder failure", so to speak!
If two unfriendly egotists meet,
you know what they will try!
Self-love will rear its ugly head,
and they will battle "I for I"!
Weather in California,
can be wierd, so they say!
When the fog lifts in Los Angeles.
"U.C.L.A."!
Our first president, had dentures!
So says our reliable source!
I'm told what people called them was,
the "George Washington Bridge", of course!
A midget, fortune teller, escapes!
Jail breaking is the charge!
The wanted poster, tells it all!
"Small, medium, at large"!
Sorry folks, I need to get a life!

A trickey question came up,
while some friends had a talk.
If a "fly" had no wings,
would you call him a "walk"?
Another thing that puzzled their minds!
If a turtle doesn't have a shell,
is he's considered "naked" or "homeless",
it would be real hard to tell?
The next problem, they wanted to solve,
but soon discovered they can't!
What to do if an endangered animal,
is eating an endangered plant?
They wanted to know what disease, "cured-ham" had?
Also, none of them could recall,
Why does rain "drop",
and why does snow "fall"?
Here's yet, another question,
they felt that needed clearing!
If a deaf person has to go to court,
do they still call it a "hearing"?
When you die and go to heaven,
they summised to their chagrin,
that you must spend eternity,
in the clothes, you're buried in!
We sometimes say "it's Greek to me"'
when in a state of disarray!
But, in the very same predicament,
what do "Greek folks" say?
Don't give up, we're often told!
But, there's one thing, that I don't git!
If someone says "all is not lost"'
then where the heck, "is it"?

Gum trees line the road
To long outback red paddock
To my father's house
Olive green Gum leaves
On wind-swept red-sandstone hills
Flick like Brumby tails
Eucalypt tree leaves
Are food for our koala's
Round our Billabong
