A tight-lipped President, Calvin Coolidge
Never prone to very much verbiage
   He kept his interviews brief
   Causing reporters much grief
Now we pine for his kind ~ That's a truage...

There once was a crazy man called Calvin
spent a lot of money for jackpot win
but it was his bad luck
soon became a bankrupt
started selling tickets for a living!

They had been following his star.
Was it Luther, Calvin or Smith?
Quickly approaching
is second Millennium of his crucifixion.

Where are his signs?
Pastors are usurping the Lord
with prophetic messages,
eager to sit on his throne.

Is he among us,
somewhere homeless,
unrecognized?
The Wise still seek him....

Dishonest Conclusion
Calvin L. Genereux

Sever the ties,
Break with the past.
Bury the lies,
It moves so fast.
Blood to the vein,
Suffer the pain,
Once he was bane,
Now he is slain.

He faces fate,
Blood on the sand.
The great debate,
Where did he stand?
The former spy,
Killed for a lie,
No one would cry,
If he should die....

I don’t want to be famous, is no gripe,
One can fetch some fame with a lot of hype,
No never, that’s not me,
I’d rather farther see
To see me more a legendary type.

Poet’s note: No, I never can say such a thing. Something to this effect Calvin said to his alter ego and puffed tiger, Hobbes....

Earl the Pearl Monroe played basketball
he played guard being five foot three tall

he had great moves on the court
was a businessman off court

in childhood best friend was Knicks fan
he played and he had the best plan

back then Calvin Murphy was I
then after losing don’t ask why

because Earl the Pearl was won again
later in life I finally win

'Tis well known that "Silent Cal" Coolidge was a man of very few words!

   He considered that long conversations and inane babble was for the birds!

A lady bet if she could elicit more than two words from him it would make news.

   He mulled over her challenge for a few minutes and replied, "You lose!"

Concrete bedroom w/ lights & sound.
People gather across wet streets --
The click of a women’s heel --
Many clicks like horses trotting.
Herds of clunking mares fighting
for the prize.

Recognition in being the first horse
across the finish line
The first blue suit from Calvin Klein.

Our country is at war.
Kids are dying!

I know those things but do you know
when the Rolex store closes?...

Designer underpants are the rage
With Hanes and Joe Boxer too
Fruit of the Loom and Calvin Klein
I can name more than just a few

How about Banana Republic
Also Navy and Tommy John
They're the same but different
Try some Katz or Aussiebum on

Call them knickers, shorts, or underwear
But don't be fooled by the song and dance
What they are for, is always the same
To keep the poop off of your pants!...

You never wear cologne to work
But there you go
Out the door
In your tie
Smelling like Calvin Klein

I want to ask, "For whom?"
But I just wave good-bye
My heart is racing
I'm afraid of 
The Why

I watch you pull away
Looking for clues
A sign
I take a deep breath
Smells like Calvin Klein

How many pairs of eyes 
       have seen thee,
Oh, Arnold Park;
Oh, street of Siddhartha,
      Calvin, and Luther,
Where squirrels leap and
      snow mounts high
While cardinals-red sing their
      "what-what" chorus?

A rush of wind-driven snow on
       this wintry day
Asks the hidden sun to shine-down
      its mercy on those of us,
      who each day
Are blessed to see Arnold Park
As if for the first time....

Calvin Borel-
Another defeat for you on the rail
Super Saver put the others through hell!
2:04:45- 
Another winner did you contrive.
Borel, three wins in four years-
My man is definitely feared
by his peers!

Super Saver,
Though not the favor(ite)
On this day of mud and muck
You were the Savior!
In the Belmont and Preakness-
May you be on the side of Luck!

Dedicated to the winner's of the 2010 Kentucky Derby

my friends say I look different
have I changed my hair?
is that a new shirt?
or am I dressing with a new flair?
they don't know the half of it
if they looked deeper they would see
it's the love I feel inside
that looks so good on me

it's not Calvin Klein
or my new Michael Kors
it's not Vera Wang
it's the heart that used to be yours
shining from deep within
with everything that I wear
your love looks good on me
that's what making them stare...

Just a Smile Is All I Need


Just a smile  is what I truly seek.
If you wanted more from me I would be there with the speed.
A friendship, a smile, a heavenly touch, these are the things that means so very 
much.
The little things those special sparks that touches places in my heart.
That way you smile, the sexy wink, that way you make me wonder what you really 
think.
You are sweet as a peach I believe; just a smile is all I need.

To love my Mom, it came with a price
Three young kids who weren’t so nice
We gave you hell all day and night
Cause we didn’t think it was right

In place of my dad, you never tried to be
But you were just like a father to me
The lessons in life I learned from you
Will live in my heart and carry me through

You were taken from us so fast
But your love will always last 
And now I must say Goodbye
To a swell and wonderful guy


In loving memory of Calvin Norris
Your legacy will never leave us...
