P-ress not the panic button,
R-emain calm and composed;
E-motions not in control
M-ake ears and eyes closed.
E-rrors are not made,
S-econd morn November;
T-hough clouds are dark,
R-ain won't harm the river.
A-llow your life to brave
D-istress on your horizon;
A-llow not hands to quiver, press not the panic button.
D-ress up to the nines,
I-t's your special occasion;
A-rray in your best garment,
N-ever ignore the
A-ttraction.
J-ust dress up to the nines,
U-ntil you are satisfied;
L-et the gladness remain
I-n your heart deep inside.
T-wenty-seventh of July, your attire has nice designs;
A-im to wear your apparel, dress up to the nines.
D-awn nineteenth January
O-pens the day with light;
M-an in American coat
I-s leaving the cold night.
N-ew morn has broken,
A-merican coat cancels the pain;
D-ress that brings warmth
O-bliterates the chill of
R-ain.
L-et the gray uniform
I-ntroduce the one wearing;
G-ood attire aims to tell
D-ark departs in the morning.
A-llow not the rugged wind to blow and rock the boat;
O-n one special occasion, he wears an American coat.
A DAMSEL ENCHANTS FELICITY
Aurora breaks,
Cinderella damsel enchants felicity,
gliding halcyon--
implanting jazzy kisses,
languorous murmurs. . .
Nectared opulent press
quakes reactions.
Succulent tissues urge
virginal wanting: xerothermic,
yearning zenith!
_____________________________________________________________________
*** xerothermic -- adapted to or flourishing to environment that is hot and dry
halcyon -- care -free

G irls giggle and tell secrets. That’s okay!
R ambunctious boys can cause my head to ache.
A ngelic girls are easier to take.
N ight comes. They kneel beside their bed to pray.
D ear little dolls, they go to sleep straightway,
D ress up like princesses when they awake,
A nd nicely play. No trouble do they make.
U nsullied darling little nymphs are they!
G lad news for Grandma having girls again;
H ow nice I need not deal with all the woes!
T wo sisters, Lydia and Natalyn,
E arn hugs and kisses just for being kin.
R eflections of my dreams, and on life goes. . . .
S weet granddaughters let love and laughter in!
