Seated Together at James Earl Carter’s Funeral
God’s timing impeccable, bringing
together presidential adversaries, ringing
in the new year, giving us a chance
for revival. We hear about truthtelling stance.
We shall all pass into the great beyond;
Will these politicians find a way to bond,
Put aside their swords of tongue and lash,
so in heaven, no need for teeth to gnash?
Will these men and women embrace the

In Heavenly Places
In heavenly places, with God we're seated high,
He gives us eyes to see His view, up nigh
Solutions come, as we take in the whole,
The puzzle complete, it's our heart's goal
Jesus said, He prepares a place for us,
He gives us authority, with much trust
With this authority, work, guard and multiply,
Nurture what God gave, till it can

Our Birthright
Our birthright is to clearly see
What God reveals and speaks of thee
In spirit's realm, we must engage
Before things manifest on life's stage
To this majestic force we yield
Our worldly discourse now revealed
With Christ, we rise to heavenly places
And embrace a life of new graces
A resurrected lifestyle we lead
Empowered to meet our every need
As we grasp the

Seated In Yoga
Seated in yoga position
As cool instruments play
Driving negative vibration
While solemnly I pray
Yoga relaxes mind
Setting my cares behind
My best way to unwind
Closed eyes meastra

Their Promises Are Seated On the Peak
How high their ship…she’s sitting on the waves.
Bob-stopped at top of ferris wheel. Their might,
a flood about their feet - they dare not breathe.
The teeter-tottering might sink them quick.
Her formerly unbalanced stance, so drunk.
The utter-wave that drives her down and up.
The shipmates think of home and more so then.
Ship ascends Everest to bump the sky.
What

Well-Seated Shapes
When well remembered
and well-seated shapes, above
you abruptly set
to change altogether, run.
Although useless, an
ugly hostile sight is seen
better afar from your home.

Deep-Seated Meaning
He left the world a bitter place
for he knew not how to smile
He went about his business dour
his manner teeming with acid and bile
The years trudged by; he got him a cane
That day his services were no longer needed
So he ended it all with a bottle

My Cute Dog
You're the cutest little cutie
When you're sitting in a chair
With your back legs in the air
Like you're sitting in a chair.

Soul Seated
Dark as the night of
the soul,
That's seen a thousand
black holes
You wait on all fours
ready to kiss my ass-whole.
You're hard,
Coated in Sweet bliss
Crystalliss
That twinkles in the
Tea Light.
The dark horse
Amongst a herd of
Leather suede and hide,
I choose you
My perfect throne,
Regal and subdued
You're the perfect
prelude
To one's raging

A Dull Ache Seated All Alone
Just look at the peak
Tall and sleek
Looking at the creek
With jealousy
A little enmity too
For the creek has its friends
Trees flowers showers
Towers of colored clouds
Prepared to appease it
With fire dousing rains
The mountain peak
Lonely monotone
Head to toe alone
A single standing stone
None to share the agony cones
Of grief
No bird no ballad
No pink clad
Deserted by all glee
Eleanor Rigby
Messy

Please Remain Seated
Saw a sign in a washroom that changed my stance
“Please remain seated for the entire performance”
For the ladies, it's not a choice
It doesn't apply to us boys
We can write our name in the snow, while we dance

Two Large Ladies Seated At a Bar
Seated across from me at a bar were two large women with accents.
"Cool accents," I said, "Are you ladies from Scotland?"
"It's Wales." one snapped back, "you stupid moron."
"My apologies," I said, "Are you two whales from Scotland?"
