Let’s say
We will not
Be held back
All were winnable
Just got to get

There was a woman from Boston
With a yard you could get lost in
It was so full of junk
It scared off the skunks
With all the refuse she had tossed in

Precious toilet paper can come to me

Premium Member Boston Resilience

Stolen heart of a city 
Turns a special day ugly;
But beat them down, they get up, 
their minds are on the next race; 
Resilience in their spirit, 
As they cross that finish line.

Boston Strong
To me
Means so much
So much passion
In this town
And New England states
For all I’ve 
Traveled never seen
Anything like it
Why haven’t I 
Written about
Them before

Premium Member Sneaky George

We were staying at a Boston inn in 1773,
just good ol’ George Washington and me.
And he said, "I'm not telling you to lie,
but ~ if Martha comes by ~
tell her you have no idea where I could be."

Premium Member Hamford Hog

Hamford Hog sat on a log
Waiting for Buford Butt
They were headed to Macon
To buy a pound of bacon
Which to me seemed somewhat odd
When they could shuffle up to Boston
Which I’ve done quite often
To pick up a pound of scrod

Take a sip of the brew
  Top it off with lemon
 Taste flavors mint or green
 Try other flavors too

 Threw tons of tea away
 To protest taxation

Tempered Grace

TEMPERED GRACE

one challenge, one heartbeat, one goal
blinding blast--Boston’s blood
achievements brutally, ruthlessly denied

(My prayers and heart go out to Boston--the Athletes and their loved ones)

Premium Member Shot Forsooth

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!

Meta-Prayer

Persons have personality; Personalism -
Recall what MLK Jr. learned at Boston U
A creator God is a Person, so are U
Yearning to know The First Person I pray:
Educating soul, body, spirit the Jesus way
Revisiting hate, avarice ... Before going away

In the dead of this cold foggy night,
is this the spirit of Jack the Ripper
or the Boston Strangler prowling 
the silent streets...
or someone’s imagination running wild?

The Revolutionary Bee

Close in the roses
The rose-bee dozes;
Oh what a shirker, he.

Asleep in the lily
The lily-bee, silly,
Yawns so languidly.

Down in the daisy
The daisy-bee, lazy
Dreams of a honeybee sweet.

Up in the honeycomb,
Buzzing with Boston,
Dumping the honey, he!
