Eleanor Rigby's Supper

They think she's nice,
she picks up rice -
but please don't worry,
it's for her curry.

Premium Member YESTERDAY, TODAY, TOMORROW

I am blessed to return to the words of Eleanor Roosevelt
on days when my spirits need a lift…

‘Yesterday is history’ she reminds me
‘Tomorrow is a mystery
But today…
today will always be a gift’.

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr  2020

Eleanor

Eleanor. Who was she? 
A spinster. Quiet, aloof, alone.
Well-known yet stealing away to the recesses of her singularity.
An old maid. 
One who navigates through the motions of life. 
Solace or sorrow who would know? 
Sung to the world yet unknown.

Eleanor

Eleanor
 
Will never die
The day she does I will cry
Memories memories a lot
Maybe she should just be a thought 
Ice racing, jumping her 
All were fun
Now its time to take her out back
And shoot her with a gun
Had great times but she is done 
Old Eleanor, you were fun.
Old Eleanor, you were the one

Lady Eleanor

She masquerades by candle light
hope unparaded
triumphs
Lady Eleanor will you dream tonight
waiting for the stone gargoyles
by the wayside
by someones achilles heel
you are the slayer
akin to something sinister
you walk to the tower
where you can see enlarge
your designs
by the misty morning

Premium Member Eleanor

Eleanor instinctively knows the language of the great mathematicians
The other women consider her peculiar
She does no needlework
Pines after no man
Her daddy trains her to follow his profession.
She becomes a highly-trained, impressive engineer
Born in the wrong century to be employed,
she starts her own company

Premium Member Cor!

I love every hair upon your head Although you've hardly any left Fred Oh, those silver strands I stroked with my hands Are appearing all over the bed. I’m peeved that you complain Eleanor I am hearing from you when you snore And you talk in sleep To a guy named Pete But admit I award it a Cor!

Premium Member Eleanor

A cat called Eleanor 
ponders from a pillow
in a bay window,
the lives of the willow and songbird.

The willow is a short-lived tree
which spends a lifetime
weeping about it
while shorter-lived songbirds
roost in the droopy boughs
cheerfully celebrating another day.

The easy climb could 
make for a tasty snack.

Premium Member ELEANOR H PORTER

Today’s blessing is inspired by Eleanor H. Porter
A novelist I find enlightening and wise
And every now and then I like to stop and wish
we all would see the world through Mrs. Porter’s eyes.

It’s not that when we seek out the good in the world
to all the bad we are blind…
It’s just…when we’re hunting for the good things
we sort of forget the other kind.

Premium Member I Saw Her First

Theodora and Eleanor were two different sisters.
Eleanor sat in the window with her face uncovered.
She was giggling, which brought our attention to her.
Theodora was hiding around the corner, covering her face.

“I am going to flirt with the one up front,” I told my friend.
“I saw her first,” he told me.
No one wants a shy hide-your-face kind of woman.
Least of all two pirates out for a lark.

Premium Member Here Come the Ants

Charlton Heston and Eleanor Parker are in a bad situation. Legions of army ants will attack their plantation. These creatures cause many square miles of devastation. The insects will devour everything in sight. Charlton and Eleanor will take a stand and fight. Do you wonder how this predicament will go? All you have to do is watch the video. Based on the 1954 film "The Naked Jungle"

Premium Member Beauty of Dreams


"The future belongs to those who believe in the 
 beauty of their dreams."  _ Eleanor Roosevelt

              I dream at night
         intricate tapestries of beauty,
      and fantastical landscapes captivating.
         I take a journey to the future,
  transported beyond my present reality  
  with visions of what this world could me.
     I take a magical escape,
  for I believe that my dreams give me hope.

Premium Member Womans Dormitory

The women screamed when a man peeked into the room.
The seasoned nurse said pardon you! To the groom.
Is my wife in here? He asked, with his face in the door.
I will be there in a minute, said his wife, name Eleanor.

The other women were glad for her, but did not like to see
A peeking Tom even if it was her husband, Mr. McFee.
This was a women’s dormitory, no men allowed.
Even one little man seemed to feel a bit like a crowd.

The Room Where It Happened

I peeked in the room where FDR
And Churchill made a deal – 
The chairs and table where they sat
Made history so real.

I stood in the room where JFK
And Eleanor did meet.
Discussions there allowed him
To successfully compete.

Lin-Manual Miranda,
In his most successful play,
Described what I experienced
In Hyde Park yesterday.

It’s special being in the room
Where history occurred
But as to what went down there,
We have only someone’s word.

The Best of Times

We have lived 
In the best of times
Where music was clean
And poetry rhymes.

Where a girl could walk
The streets all alone
Without the safety
Of a 911 phone.

Where decency led
And civility was the rule
No one suffered
The acts of the fool.

When it was okay
To let out a howl
At the precision proficiency
Of Frank Sinatra and Eleanor Powell.

Sad that such things
Now bring on a yawn.
Such times of enjoyment
So innocent and gone.
