There was a ripe randy old tart
when kissing her John she did fart
that's nothing she said
'cause he wets the bed
Who cares it's all ala carte!...

Karma
Kindness that comes not from the heart
Actions vile, you store ala carte
Ready to decieve before you start
Make sure that you don't forget your part
And then be shocked you're not so smart...

Sitting in the park , and its almost dark.
  Running down the road , thinking of pie ala mode.
  Standing on a hill , thinking of being still.
  Laying on the beach , knowing anything is at your reach....

Strawberry shortcake 
Whipped cream on a biscuit 
Best dessert ever

With the moistest coconut

Hot fudge sundae 
With butter pecan ice cream

Hot sweet rhubarb pie 
Ala mode via ice cream

Do Not Fall Down



Falling down, simply terrific 
for the young!
For the elderly, no, as our springs have
indeed, been totally, sprung.

I took a big spill on Halloween,
And now I am known as the Poetess
ala Wheelchair Queen?

Feel like I finished a boxing round with 
Mike Tyson.
Me, a pummeled, poetic. baby byson!

    A stray lock of hair
       in the corner right there

    In the parlor, a faint whiff of perfume

    The couch messy and wrinkled
       piano’s ivories uncovered and tinkled
    I know what you’re thinking, dear
       but please don’t assume

    For these are just clues, all part of a poem  
       ~ detective-style, ala Watson and Holmes

Abracadabra

Say Abracadabra, Ala kazam
Jette with Bibity Bobity Boo!
Array a wish that your heart makes
Displays Hocus-Pocus! Poof! Magic comes true!

Open wide Seasame – first star to the right –
Reopen happy thoughts for magical things
Tokens of pennies fly from wizard’s wands
Spoken Shazam - Presto Chango on wings!

Even water though
  pure
still needs filtering
as there are still much
things that went mixing up
with it
 if sadness is a product 
of this beautiful nature
 goods could been faked
oh! love is not a sin
if it is pursued 
as a right nose
 nor what a 
 story is framed somewhere
that life  is only ala yellow
a caress of a tooth
as if it is a fuss?
or an over taken slumber?
that ours should be
a mow?....

Rain Rhyme

I wonder
I feel aqua
On my sari
Myself a new Version

It is thunder
It is an opera
I feel it mini
Form of edition

In night slumber
The lightning ala
Seems like cini
A Wonderful impression

It is time to ponder
It is a Rain-mania
On seeing spread of algi
Am like a yogi in restrain

I feel wonder
Rainbow is here, an era
Feel like it's a semi
Looks like half balloon

Your love is like magic that entrances my soul
Casting spells upon me from your heart of gold.
Just one wave of your magic wand,
And poof! A second later I am gone!
When I hear, “Hokus pokus ala kazoo,” 
My heart skips a beat and wants only you.
The love that ensues is a passionate potion
That springs from a well of untapped emotion.
My future looks bright because I’ll spend it with you.
You’re in all that I love and in all that I do....

OH o Carnaval aí meu povo!

Carnaval!
Veja, Veja, 
Lá vem 
a bateria, 
com seu tum-tum-tum tradicional!
 
E logo, logo 
Atrás, 
Chega a Ala do Bom Senso, 
com o enredo a dizer:
 
Tum, tum-tum...
Beba convicção
Tum, Tum-Tum...
Transe ideias
Fume diversidade
Dance com a igualdade

Segure o par,
Tum, tum-tum...
Agarre seu sonho!

Tum, tum-tum,
Faça tudo um pouco mais
Faça tudo isso sem moderação...
Tum, Tum, Tum......

So Blue sky is above my head
Blue is a whale in the ocean
So blue in the trees
A bluebird tweets

Sounding waves of the seas so blue
Church Sunday bells ring ever true
As naval trumpet soldier blowing blows

Blue ala blueberries I like grapes
Blue a comfy satin pillow a newborn baby
Folded linen freshly washed and air dried
Blue keeps me embrace cuddled and calm ahh! so calming true, just
So Blue

The power of magic letters
Suddenly on me was bestowed
Why did it happen, I don't know
But then my life was overrode 

First, I saw a little bunny
I made the "B" in bunny "R"
The "runny" then flowed down the hill
And landed underneath a car!

Thinking fast, I'm not good at
I made the "C" in car a "J"
People yelling in the "Jar"
To me, was way less than OK!

Suddenly I woke up sweating
The awful feeling it bestowed
Made me swear to never again
Eat that much Pizza ala mode!...
