The purpose of being 
human to live as amateurs 
and not to live 
to attend to be absent like meteors...

When it comes to love,
    and creating art.
Anyone may perform,
    for it flows...from the heart.

Behind professional aspects,
    of being creative and pure.
Know that the artist and lover,
    were both...first amateurs....

Although amateurs are annoyingly apt at aping another’s avocation, 
All artists accord another’s art acceptance, 
As any artwork asks appreciation, 
And after all, all artists are allusive, anyhow.

Here lives old witch visionary,
Great-great aunt of Hermione,
H. Potter deemed not so great,
Rank amateurs do not rate,
She's happy in her pumpkin patch,
Conjured up a wizard match,
Her suitor's name is Ethelred,
Makes him feel really good in bed,
Across the moon-epic trips,
Maybe NASA needs wiccan chicks!...

We’re watching Saturday
Morning cookery
On TV; wide-eyed
Amateurs impressing
Mock-military judges
With parcels and fools
And baskets and coulis
And ganaches and jus.
My wife likes a recipe
And asks me to record
It for posterity and for dinner.
But I couldn’t care less
About eggs julienne
Because it’s coming up
To half past ten
And my head is screaming
“Run for the muffin!
Run for the muffin!”...

Someday you’ll be in bed dying
like I am now and people you love 
and some you don't will come by   

to say good-bye. They don’t know 
what to say because we’re all amateurs 
at dying, no experience required.

All I know is that I’ll be leaving  
any day now and my visitors know 
some day they’ll be leaving too

but unlike me they don’t know when. 
Not knowing when would scare me more.
At least now I can say goodbye.

A policeman named Abele Bibka
Never ran marathons in Korea
   Won Olympics in Rome
   Took a gold medal home
His country then named, Abyssinia



________________________________
You can't make up a name like this...
Abele was in the military guard of
then-Emperor Hailie Selassie. He
won the gold medal in 1960, back 
when most Olympic athletes were
true amateurs, training in their 
'spare time.'... Do you know what
Abele's country's name is today?!...

Energized, even as my excitement mounted I looked calm
Especially, since the millionaire minds and poets clapped
At a few amateurs, their students--and me
Proud like a child presenting to her parents, I
Kept my good behavior until the end, when
I blinked to my surprise, a few tears threatening
An outright cry and whimpers, that
Among my peers I could not stand,
Or even in front of those I admire--
My piece wasn't shown after all,
My loss was not felt at all....

We must remember what He has done
We must sing a new song
We don't need an instrument to play along
Just start singing a new song
We don't have to make it too long
We must sing a new song
No matter how right or wrong
We're just amateurs who wants to belong
We can all come together to sing a new song
We want to make a joyful noise to the Lord
And we can all sing to Him on one accord
With God we can be in harmony and strong
For we must lift our voices to sing a new song...

Suburban life is quiet.
It's as peaceful as can be;
And out the window is the sky
And every type of tree.

The snow is white and blinding,
Though it's on the ground for days.
The lifestyle is deserving of
The highest form of praise.

There's lots of room for roaming
In the houses and the yards,
Befitting ode or sonnet
Penned by amateurs or bards.

Suburban life's delightful.
From the noise and crowds you're free;
But I'm a city gal and so
It's not the life for me....
