CAP cadets
shiver in cold
autumn...

It's unusual for me, my tummy's upset
Seems I must have been a very bad cadet
Now paying the price
Or maybe 'twas the rice
Kinda rare will take Pepto Bismol to offset...

As a child he played with an Erector set.
Career choice, military cadet.
Mom tried with all her powers.
"Come home. Build towers."
On the phone,
Hours.
At gravestone,
Tears like rain showers.
The war was Eisenhower's.
One thing his mom will never forget;
As a child he played with an Erector set.

You'll find it is a good idea,
now and then,
to look at the bigger picture:
see with a broader view
the workings of your fellow men.
A word of advice, if I may,
please, don't stay too long,
be sure to always come back soon!
One learns next to nothing
about mankind
by looking at the earth
while standing on the moon.



NOTE: Another oldie....

So ya thought ya might
Like ta go to the mouse show
To feel the warmth of

The mouse confusion
That kill-the-mouse-cadet glow

And that one is brown!

Who let all of these
Riff-raff mice into the room?
There's a mouse picking

His nose! Another
With spots! If I had my way
I'd have all mice shot!...

I knew a young girl
just a pretty face
who lost her mind
in outer space
with a celestial body
decidedly racy
out of this world
but totally spacey
not quite the brightest light
it's true (but what a view) and yet
when gazing at the moon
turned loony... a space cadet
and 'twas the lunar orb
(waxing, waning, new or blue)
of that there's no doubt
whose gravitational pull
simply put... spaced her out

Step Ford Family

Delusional wandering without a clue
Looking around at others what did I do?
I notice that everyone is doing the same thing
So why is it strange that we have the same off spring?
As different as we are looking at each other
We can't get far
So I remember the saying
"Birds of a feather flock together"
If that's true we're doing right me and you
So my suggestion is not to fret
Even if you are walking around like a space cadet!...
