And a painter on canvas;
An artist at heart.

The trees change colors,
The ground is covered with leaves;
Swept by Autumn’s gust.

Marvin and Abe went fishing all day
all they caught was a lady named Mae
she was tall and thin
she loved to drink gin
both men didn't like her to sing rae

Freshly powdered hillsides reign
Snow shapes make yard art

Abe Lincoln returned for a day
He looked about him in his curious way
Mused to himself, must be mean pirates here
Everyone and his sister sports a blue beard

Freshly fallen snow,
Large masses of frozen lakes;
Lined by frosted trees.

Was found dead to rights
As I conformed days and nights
All within my sights.

Soundless cries in vain
Eyes wide open in anguish
Stunned in unbelief
No birds' songs at the trench
After the shots only silence

The masquerade party theme was to show
What your love life is like for all to know
One man without blinkin'
Said, "I am Abe Lincoln,"
"My last four scores were seven years ago!"

You Know
The words you know are overused—you know
You know, I know this is truly so
Just think of Abe Lincoln
(Let the image sink in)
Four score and seven years ago—you know

There once was a poet named M.T.
Who made me laugh with his poetry.
He made PS so fun;
His talents were so pun,
Comeback to PS and humor me!

Cold wind on the bay
blows with a sound from the sea
eucalyptus sway.
Caressing fog sweeps
on morning soft or cold night
San Francisco spring.

Abe was a dentist known for his gold crowns
Beautiful smiles, now a status in town
Could cost quite a mint
Depends on the glint
Even in some pets gold teeth could be found

Alas, Abe Lincoln was fatally shot forsooth,
By that nefarious cad John Wilkes Booth!
Booth was shot by Sergeant Boston Corbett,
Sending him on his well-deserved eternal orbit!

Sixteenth president “Honest Abe” Lincoln
did a lot of mighty fine thinkin’.
Though born in a cabin dirt poor,
he’d rise to free the slaves with a civil war.

words chosen carefully
from the throne of God
tell of hope of destiny
nothing strange or odd
mailed to the outside
where eyes waited patiently
told of these great words
they were made for publishing
(for Abe Lopez contest letter from the Birmingham jail.)

I do not know?
I chanced on a lady in waiting,
That kissed me.
And called me Baby.
"I say, hey,
It's a mistake, Lady.
You can kiss me Again,
But Your Husband,
Is Me, Matey...Baby.
Luv Ya Son.
CVN 72, Thank You.
That's Abe Lincoln, Matey.
