A field of blue
For who?
US or you
If I red, this right
About the American white
Knight's
Field of blue
Seeking justice true
Using a vigilant eagle eye
Persevering every try
Proudly raising the flag high
It flies
Message sent
Throughout the forging valley's tent
Watching old glory touch the stars
Blue field defends its red, white bars
Healing any freedom scars
Fifty or thirteen
It all means
The same
When one claims
An independent life
While piping the fife
And banging a drum
Feeling welcome
Under the blue sky
Where the American flag flies
High
Sounding the call
Down at the mall
Holiday sale all
Month long
Playing patriotic songs
Before debating what is wrong
Making us blue
Wondering exactly what is true?
That is how we act
And if you do not like it, go pack
ALANA
Alana Fauna
How is your flora?
Is it growing happily?
Or is it in need of replanting?
While I have your attention
Is your bake sale manana?
It should be held before everything
Goes stale like bread or you haven’t
Anyone to help you with it

Knock-knock, hello ma'am! Take a look at this shine,
a brand-new skillet to make your dinner divine.
I see you’ve been working and slaving all day,
with pots that turn gravy, charcoal and gray.
But look at this surface, so sleek and so smooth,
designed for your kitchen, with patterns that soothe.
No butter, no grease, and no scrubbing the sink,
it cooks up a steak as quick as a wink.
Your eggs will slide out like a puck on the ice,
your hubby will swear, the chicken tastes nice.
It's forged out of steel that was meant for a jet,
the sturdiest tool that a woman can get.
So toss out that iron that weighs down your wrist,
an offer like this is too good to be missed.
Just sign on the line and I’ll hand you the best,
and give your old cook stove a much-needed rest.
I have a lot of clothes I don’t use any more.
Some of them I have never even worn before.
Yes, I got those in my days of impulse shopping.
The styles are unique and the colors are popping!
Look at all my dresses; suits I have a few of.
But you’ll find among my tops one you’re sure to love.
Tops from my skinny days might be just right for you.
They don’t fit me now, but I have some loose ones too.
All the ones that I have worn have been cleaned and pressed.
Compliments I’ve gotten from folk who were impressed
by the fit and loveliness of some of my clothes.
Let me point out for you the very best of those.
Do you like the flowered print of this silken blouse?
Here’s a skirt polka-dotted loved by my own spouse
who pays little heed to things that people wear!
See this little black dress right here? It has such flair.
I promise you won’t get a better deal than mine
at any thrift shop these days on items so fine.
Were you to buy a hundred dollars worth of these,
I’d send them off to you without the shipping fees.
Want someone who’s good?
Can help your company make sale?
I could sell milk to a cow,
and for free I’d chuck in the pail.
I can make a pigeon buy scraps,
a snake part money for venom;
I am the silver-tongued cheque with a grin
who persuaded jeans to shop for denim.
So, you need some success?
Change that red line to black?
A leopard would order spots from me,
I’m not a run of the mill old hack.
Would you like to buy my car
It’s good on gas takes you far
It also runs on electricity smart
And you can find a place to charge
It’s comfortable and roomy too
If you’re tired it can drive for you
It remembers your preferred routes
Takes your there without a doubt
Smart car with a new shiny paint job
It shuts down in case you’re robbed
It scares the car thieves far away
Records their image which they hate
I’m only selling because I need
To get a larger one yes indeed
This little car has been great
Inexpensive with class very safe
I had to ground myself from stopping
in front of huge flea market for shopping
garage sales used to take all my cash too
might need this I’d say, lifting up a left shoe
Mate was nowhere in sight, maybe lost in a loo?
Any chance you know what happened to the right?
The vendor laughed, and promptly ducked out of sight
This broken mirror only needs a little bit of glue
Let’s go to some thrift stores, suggested my Uncle Lou.
We don’t need cash after bills are paid, said his wife, Sue.
A brawl broke out at the local plant sale
The normally meek started to flail
Their begonias and orchids around
Geraniums were ripped right out of the ground
Look at them wrong and they'll fight you without fail.
Today is Veterans Day
or has America forgotten
once again
milk white porcelain
dresden stamp on the bottom
valuable purchase
found at garage sale
appreciated more now
two dollars well spent
at a garage sale
tables of pre-owned items...
life stories and tales
in a motley collection
sold for just a buck or two
