Cyclist Lance Armstrong
Claimed he did no wrong.
But the seven-time Tour de France winner
Was busted, confessed and became a sinner....

Neil Armstrong in nineteen-sixty-nine
Moonwalked on the moon, the first in line.
There have now been twelve
Humans, no elve.
Don’t you think this is mighty fine?...

Here lies the body of keegan armstrong
who has nothing but a feeble arm
Not for work but daily meal raise
After a plentiful meal,he sits calm
Boasting of how strong his arm could be...

There once was a hippie played a kazoo
He'd make that kazoo do things it couldn't do --
   It would sound like a horn
   From Louie Armstrong torn --
He'd play taps on a harmonica too...

Nascent aeronautics

"Pops" is gone
Master of the trumpet
  He dazzled 
         with his artistry
  We listened 
and watched
    The man could rip 
out a tune.....
But if the truth be told 
He is gone
He's with Bix, Miles 
   and the others
"Gone from the world"...

Under the bright sun
a cyclist zooming past all
Tour de France his dream,
on life's track he leaves behind
the dreaded cancer disease.

Lance Edward Armstrong
taught us to dream for new life,
cancer can be beat,
awarness is most vital,
so spread this message to all.

Pete Rose great baseball player but banned from the Hall of Fame
It does matter if weigh 150 pounds or 350 Pounds we are still the same
USA the Most power county helps other counties 
Lance Armstrong fell of and neither got back to the top
The State you live is your State no can take away from you

A man from Ohio called Neil *
Was known for his calm nerves of steel.
So when, out in space,
Darth Vader gave chase,
He said 'Cool it, guys,no big deal!'


18.07.19

* Neil Armstrong was born in Wapakoneta, Ohio and was renowned for keeping cool under pressure.
* Darth Vader for non Star Wars fans is an iconic villain...

Danced with
Conceived and born
Sung to and nursed
On a downy soft quilt

Transfused with
Vibrations of Ellington
Basie, Crosby, Waller
Goodman and Armstrong

Skyrocketed spiritually 
By Kern and Carmichael
Porter, Gershwin and Berlin

Thanks Mom and Dad
For the beautiful music
We made together
On that bed of downy softness...

Reverse this polarity, my hormonal engine
Playing my body like a baby grand
Rough and rugged, Jerry Lee Lewis
Succumbs to Louis Armstrong in Platinum
Blues verses boogy woogy
An invariable blender, shaken not stirred
Keeping me up nights
Tapping my toes to the teardrops


entered for consideration in MJ's contest, "Let's get untwisted"...

This has to be New Orleans’ favorite song.
It was made popular by the late Louis Armstrong.
Although Satchmo is no longer around.
we can always hear this immortal sound.
The tune is beloved by fans of jazz.
Bands play it with a lot of pizzazz.
It possibly has the most beautiful melody
with perhaps the exception of “Hello Dolly”.

Ace the pilot could cut the Migs down fast
At an early age his future was cast
Great at navigation, and maneuvering too
What is the hold up on him asking Sue?

She has been waiting for ever so long.
They have been engaged since Neil Armstrong
They are not getting younger; their knees are bad.
“Why don’t you drop him?”  Says her sister “he is kind of a cad.”...

Louis Armstrong …
a class by himself
Not Dixie or Jazz
but much deeper felt

Growing better with age
his music enthralls
If fourteen or forty
his melodies call

Both Ella and Ray
are seated out front
As Satchmo delivers
when others exeunt

Timelessly treasured
he’d broken the mold
Of what sound can measure
—and a smile can hold

(Dreamsleep: December, 2023)

Neil Armstrong shot off to the moon
Strapped into a cosmic cocoon.
He came to renown
When one foot went down
Ahead of poor Buzz -what a boon!


But as they returned to home base,
Buzz had a big smile on his face.
For there on the sea
Of tranquility
He'd aced the first 'selfie' in space!

now is all there is,
that's the nature of the beast,
relatively speaking
advantaging 'those' who control time...
now is a situation of absence and meaning
'those'...are us and our day to day routines
slowing down, to take advantage of the scenery...
remember the most wonderful childhood song,
'what a wonderful world' by louis armstrong...
well, now is all there is and it is a wonder(full) world...be strong...

The coal and blackened hands.
Zero was the cardinal sin.
After the lunar walk, 
you flinch back in horror.

A gaint leap has ended 
in a coal tar pit. Are you 
sure we have landed 
at a right spot ?

Extraterrestrial. An immune 
disorder. Your autism 
was evolving into a 
monster of twisted brain.

Outside your home
dozens of bodies were found.
What were you doing 
when genocide started.

Butterfly girl greets the quiet wren in a field of corn
Where yellow and light green vegetation is often born
Far off they hear an accordion and a Romanian horn.
Melodies are terrific says a dwarf who arrived this morn.

Soft-spoken wren opens up his beak to sing a song.
It is exactly short enough, not too brief or too long.
Your voice is delicious says the girl named Lee Armstrong.
With that kind of warbling, how can you go wrong?...
