PLAY IT AGAIN SAM I AM THE LIFE OF THE TRUMPETS
IN YOUR ARMS WITH COCKTAILS OF LIKEWISE
AND IN A MOMENT OF THE BANGING OF THE DRUMS
THE SMILES THE SINGING AND THE DRINKING OF
RUMS WITH A TASTE OF THE PALACEOF FOLLIES
OF BEING IN A DICK VAN DYKE FILM AS ANNIE
GET YOUR GUNS PLAYS OUT OF THE THEATRE IN
HEARTS FILM WORLD OF LYRICS AND THE DANCE
THE FRED ASTIRE OR GINGER ROGERS AS WE
COAST THE HIPPODROME AND THE MESSERS IN THE
EVENING BREEZE TENDERLY FILLS MY SOUL
AS THE TAIL OF MY DRESS PASS BY THE GENTS
WHEN THE ELEGANCE OF ZIEGFELD COVER THE LAND
OF DREAMS OF HATES AND BOTTOMS SHIMMERING OUR
SONG THE SONG OF LOVE IN THE VIOLINS AS THE
AUTHUMN RAIN FALLS ASLEEP TO THE SOUND OF OUR
HEARTS IN ONE BEAT PLAYED THROUGH THE SENSUAL
TROMBONE OF STRAIGHTEN UP AND FLY RIGHT RIGHT
BACK INTO THE SOUL OF THE MUSIC THAT TAKES US
ALL RIGHT BACK TO PLAY IT AGAIN SAM

THE FILM HUMPHEY BOGART I ADORED THAT PIANO MAN
You've felt the love of our mother's womb - sleeping to the lullabies of our father.
Oh big brother, how cruel has fate been to deny me the pleasure of meeting you.
I exist because you didn't, therefore, I promise to live the life you couldn't.
Sam is such a fun loving gent,
Ascribing to a Great British accent.
Missing him and wondering where he went.
On a hunting trip Yosemite Sam
shot up a loose can of spam
didn't taste like his usual venison
so took for precaution a spoonful of medicine
AP: Honorable Mention 2025
by me kyle walker caycay son for fun not contest
Yosemite Sam
always stumbled upon a jam.
Each time he would yell ' tarnation.'
Altercations most have caused elation.
SAM THE SQUIRREL
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sam the Squirrel had a hunger profound
In a park, he was often found,
With nuts in his cheeks so tight,
He scurried with all his might,
But alas, his appetite had no bound.
One day, as he climbed up so high,
In a tree with a nut-laden sky,
Saw bird feeder, what a sight!
'Twas filled with a feast, a delight,
"This snacking's too good to pass by!"
With a cleverness that took them aback,
He pilfered birds’ seeds in munchy attack,
Birds squawked and complained quite loud,
Sam the Squirrel was quite proud,
His cunning had earned him smorgasbord snack.
Sagebrush Sam was tired of blowing
His impatience was keenly showing
Always in sandy land that needed no mowing
He yearned for Iowa where it was snowing

Green Eggs and Ham
Bright is cleverer than smart
Take your time cosmic egg
Get there in this rhyme
Posses not my unconscious mind
Just like a seasoned ham
Essence of the soul
La Cremosa classical
Nursery book rhyme
Sam I am
Tall Tale from of gold antiquities
museum of od rot it nots meaning wood
Green stripes outlines of mirth
Giza Plato with plutonium
Green eggs and ham
Nature renews the balance
In harmony empowered growth
Stability in prosperity moon rock
Third rock from the sun
Time is short but feelings are strong
Of course you’re singing our song
First cranberry kiss sets me on fire
Making my knees weak as I perspire
Oh you send me on a long journey
With the sun blazing the world turning
Despite the times lack of civil rights
Everything is fine in your arms tonight
Your pearly smile plays me like a harp
Words you weave now are amethyst art
You whisper in my ear that I have your heart
Marry me dear and we shall never part
You send me to the moon and far beyond
Like a flower I bloom in your sunny charm
And the red hickey you leave on my neck
Is like jewelry I hide least my folks be upset
You thrill me honest you do
Just like the song says it’s true
And I loved you from the very first look
Heavenly sounds of us sang by Sam Cooke
Pull the wool over our eyes
Exploit your bully pulpit
Ha, ha! Even ‘Wooly Bully’
is relatively young ~
It's not the culprit

"over the waters blue the night winds sigh, the breakers roar”...Lord Byron
I love to be upon the sea
When’er the tides are high
For rough sea does not bother me
Or thunder of the sky
Of this maybe you wonder why
It’s just the way I am
Unafraid and so brave am I
I’m Simple Sailor Sam.
Sailing along I sing with glee
Until the night is nigh
A time to rest this busy bee
To acquire earned shut eye
How quickly time goes floating by
I’m not a lonesome man
As my adventures keep me spry
I’m Simple Sailor Sam.
There’s lots to explore o’er the sea
Dolphins come to say Hi
With acrobatics that cheer me
As I am sailing by
For scenery I have the sky
A gift to an helmsman
Such a jolly sea dog am I
I’m Simple Sailor Sam.
So my hearties please do not cry
I do the best I can
Roaming raging tempests am I
I’m Simple Sailor Sam.
At noon, Sam saw a masked man at his door
Fear was in his eye, yet tried to ignore
Trying to peep, heard- "I'm Death"
"Have come to level your breath"
Like a racecar, he ran. Rest is lore!
Promised a honey baked life by Uncle Sam,
a V.A. loan, and a mini-van.
Three kids and a fenced yard.
It should be attainable to those who
worked so hard.
They served, they sacrificed as mother's wept,
came home to be forgotten to a government
that's inept..
Our unsung hero's who fought gallantly, are
supposed to be our nations first priority..
Finishing his last sip of tea, Sam said to Susan,
"I don't think that they were expecting us,
But I can't believe they left the windows down.
Busy with the sweetest tea she ever had, Susan
did not respond. Sam further stated, "Drinking
from a cup is not my best choice, but it certainly
beats not drinking at all". Susan still did not reply.
It seems that Sam just couldn't stop talking.
He said, "By the way, Susan, did you notice the
name of this place? We must tell all our friends".
Susan finally said, "Come on Sam. Are you kidding me?
They will laugh at us and think that we are joking.
Let's get out of here".
