There once was a waiter named Danny
Who thought that he had a cute fanny
So he switched for his tip
And he wiggled his hip
The tip that he got was uncanny!...

His piano teacher taught Danny
that Every Greek Boy Does Fanny 
But Danny-boy
Was not his joy
Instead he played New Key with Nanny...

Daniel saw a dinosaur
Ten feet tall
Or maybe more
It sat there on the kitchen floor
As Danny looked in through the door
He peeked again just to be sure, and
Daniel saw a dinosaur...

Do not worry about a lot of sleazy men, yon female gender. Some  of may be sleazy, but not necessarily crazy. We just happen to enjoy the finer things in life, within the law, of course....

Little Danny Hedgehog
Just a-walkin' in the garden
  Kissin' up to kittens
  Hmm... What the dickens

Danny says, Please pardon
That I was in your garden
  Kittens' tit for tat ~
  Get lost, you spiky rat...

Danny diligently drew delightful dinosaurs
Delightful dinosaurs Danny diligently drew
If Danny diligently drew delightful dinosaurs-
Where are the dinosaurs Danny diligently drew?
Whew!


For the dinosaur contest..(obviously)...

Monday's not fun days
Clouds make gloomy face
Brittany got free

Tuesday rain a pain
Danny hovers close
Droplets hit the earth

Dusk, dawn, hold the phone
Wait, who calls today?
Type, type, text, who's next?

(References to Brittany Spears and Danny the tropical storm)...

Danny just loved to while the time away
Couldn't be bothered to see where he stayed
   In his hammock relaxed
   His brain not overtaxed
Fell deep asleep -- froze to death in Norway

Look at little Danny, playing with his gun,

Running around the garden,

Mouth full of chewing-gum,

  Hiding in the bushes,

Rustling through the trees

looking for the enemy,

Crawling on his knee's,

Suddenly he spies them,

And aims to take his shot, 

The bullet fire he imitates,

With bubble-gum pops!...

Danny, Ricky, Dave -

Names I’ll carry to the grave.

Chico, Glenn and Chris -

Through junior high, I loved all six!

The cousins' fiddle duet plays  Danny Boy
and summons the memory of a Danny dead 40 years.

Aunt looks to see if Uncle will share her memory
of their momentary boy,

But he is busy sharing photos of other memories
and does not hear.


Note: My cousin Danny died when he was just a toddler and I never knew him....

As we put putted out
into the estuary, the 
sounds of the city 
receded, the tang of 
sea filled my nostrils 
and the water turned 
from brown to aqua.
Danny  put out the lines
but all was quiet so I 
whittled a piece of spruce,
letting the shavings drift
in our wake, as I sucked 
a hard yellow candy 
waiting for my sockeye....

Lord, let
Me tidy up
A few things
With me clever
Scottish Bagpipes
Well, I know
The battlefield
Shall claim
Her brave soldiers, but
Danny deserves
A proper resting place, now
Show him
The road
To heaven's gate
All I'm asking, dear Lord
Is to please
Bring our
Danny boy
Back home,
To sweet Ireland
Just a heart beat away...

sunset Danny lion
my life is your life
given my joy full soul to the less fortunate.
your life is no life.
the dying smell of the Danny lions,cant be hidden.
your rainy cloud can not be blown away.
your smile is there with the wet gloss running down your cheeks
SMILE
your heart is mine , my life is yours
lets just say you need it more then me...

Danny likes apples
Danny likes pears
But Danny does not like 
To sit in his high-chair

Danny likes to wear overalls
He likes his shirt and socks too
But Danny won’t stay still long enough
To let me put on his shoes

Danny likes to go shopping
Danny likes the grocery store
Danny likes to ride in the shopping cart
But in his stroller, Danny won’t go!...

Danny

How proud am I to say your mine
you’ve grown up strong and true
From little boy with deep blue eyes
To lad with hair like … glue

You are my little hoodie
I would not change a thing
Your bright and kind and loving
You are my everything

With all that you achieve 
Shows who you really are
All the steps you take my love
Will challenge you by far...

T’was quite uncanny
How cute little Annie 
Got the gig as the nanny
To care for young Danny
Whose daddy was Giovanni
All while pleasing the live-in granny

T’was cute little Annie
who introduced them to samosas Pakistani
The tasty kind that no matter how many
Don’t add one ounce to your teeny fanny

Good Evening

I am

Danny Graham

And tonight for your listening pleasure

I will be playing

A healthy measure

Of age old classic's 

Aimed at tugging on you're heart sleeve

Leading you to smile when you leave

Think of a happy song

And let your emotions run along 

Back to the happiest day

You have experienced in life

And you're half way there

Because

Sadly in real life

Danny Graham's

Vocation's

Is neither singing

Nor music playing...
