baby chicks chirpy do do,
big feet pretty fun feathers;
twirl, stumble, fall la la la,
chirp, chirp, peep, peep, peep !...

Was the charming, pretty skippy girl
Caught up in a dippy, lippy whirl?

Stand-up guy
Hippie-dippy
FM, AM, banned words, silly putty

Booze, pain-pills, expedited heart failure
untimely loss
bright void left
empty

Once deactivated,
       after forgotten,
        played were the
        ancients toys...
       after finished
        all jokes
        and merriment... what do we have!?
        We are "STATUES"
        from Internet...
         dippy, daffy
          of technology... !...

Butter 12 slices of potatoes bread
With a garlic butter
Fry bread one side until brown
On the fried side
One slice of swiss cheese
Place one tablespoon of honey mambo and  saurkrut
Layer five to seven prices of corned beef
Or four roast beef and four corned beef
Top with swiss and grill until done.
Serve with a beer, ginger ale and lemon, with a spot of whiskey and sugar....

serendipity sure has had a bad temper lately

she is getting crotchety and harder to please
as her years are advancing

always demanding newer and better discoveries
at the expense
of your
last nerve

but she keeps on teaching you things

like, 
you need to get reacquainted with yourself
have confidence in your abilities
look for the fortunate chance
that accompanies our
daily lives
despite
the
grind

serendipity keeps us on our toes...

Being a non meat eater
I'll never eat a spam fritter again,
So why is the special offer on the counter so inviting?
Am I back at school again?
Queuing up for dinner
And hoping for something nice.
No menus then,
Probably just as well,
And the fritters are there
With baked beans and chips,
Treacle tart and custard for afters.
So I'm in the queue
Feeling dippy in the chippy,
Longing for something
I can't really have.
Veggie Spam anyone?
Didn't think so....

Why am I chasing an ice cream van?
I asked, as after the van I ran....
Is this futility? I held out my hand--
Shall I ever be chased by this man?
Why does anyone chase an ice cream van?
No one is pursued by the ice cream man,
Running after a van in this heat is dippy,
Why sells our souls for Mr. Whippy?
With the crowds I did compete,
I bought soft serves, to survive the heat,
As that callous van drove down the street,
But, with ice cream, my soul is replete!...

The clan began singing before I saw the hippy dippy van.
It ripped around the mountain, and we heard its ceiling fan.
hollering and the wailing came to our ears with the smacking too.
It was the wild McCorlick Cousins, straight from Kalamazoo!

They are evil and they’re naughty, and they make us all laugh.
We were not surprised at all to see a contraband giraffe.
Their father is crazy, and their mother is beyond coping.
They came tearing down the street. No one here is moping!...
