First built in eighteen-fifty-two
Destroyed by quake, rebuilt anew

Named for island’s bird, not a few

Fifty Heads of Gray

There once was a black hip named Kool
who kept fifty two bags of wool:
Black from the master,
blond from his sister
and gray from now fifty bald ghouls.

Fifty-Two Times a Year

Sunday's my fun day
      Late to work Monday

    Tuesday's a food day
      Pay the price Wednesday

    Thursday's for shopping
      On Friday, no stopping

    Saturday, I rest
      A whole week to digest

Filled With Hoboism Glee

My heart is filled with hoboism glee
I want to be a vagabond you see
If you want adventure then follow me
Let’s start by climbing this fifty-two foot tree
Pack a knapsack and enough food for three
I am bringing my cat Mrs. Tweedle Dee Dee

Dad dropped them
now we know

up is

puppet master and willing marionette

He was a puppet master
She was a willing marionette
We might get married he lied
She loved the idea

They were together for fifty-two years
He is the love of my life she told everyone
Never married, for he was forever single
His blank promises kept her magic hopes alive

Degree In Sindonology

My niece’s degree is in sindonology.
Not much of a chance to get a job if you ask me.
Her parents are proud of her, not seeing the truth.
She never plans to be employed, their daughter Ruth.
This is actually her twenty-seventh degree.
Fifty-two is old enough to leave college if you ask me.

Three 52 Am

Three fifty two—as with me
As with you
A deep darkness
Not a truck nor plane vibration
No distance sounds
Complete silence
No lights no radiation
Perhaps the flutter of air
No hoots from owls
Not even a mouse whisper
During this night no vespers
The peace is complete
Harbinger
Sighs

Sisters

how can we be fifty, fifty three, fifty two
we were just little girls
sitting in a circle on Sundays
kittens hidden under our dresses 
their mama
mewing to find them
giggling in our safety
my breath catches
when I know
one of us will die first
will I have to look at you in the coffin?
God Help Me

Howard Hughs - Odd Fact 011

In nineteen hundred thirty eight
Howard found a new record to break.
Around the world the fastest ever;
Three hundred fifty two miles per hour.
He filled the plane with ping pong balls.
In case of a crash to cushion the fall.
He also had the bright notion.
They would keep him afloat should he fall to the ocean.

old school teacher

Provoking her is not easy to do
She’s been teaching children since fifty-two
Spanking was the norm back in the day
I still like to use it she will often say

Alas times have changed, children now play
Wasting their time each and every other day
Ridiculous she said when she finally retired
Just months before she may have been fired.

Unlucky Lulu

Lulu was an unlucky woman
Lost three sons
one in a department store in 92
one in an ocean, deeply blue
Where’s the third one? I asked mutual friend, Old Sue
On the sidewalk, playing skip to my Lou
Both of the other boys found their way home too
One was fifty, the other was fifty-two
I barely recognized them said Lulu
This was told to me by story-teller Sue

Gumball Machine Is Full of Fun

The red gumball machine was full of fun
A machine that knew she was number one
Other contraptions thought they were a contender
They were certainly not said my cousin, Sam Lender.

I have had this machine since nineteen-fifty-two.
I know that’s a lie, but Sam is often a liar too.
You were not even born until fifty-six, I say.
He and the gumball machine begin to play.

Come To Populous City

Eid vacation is over
Come, come to me
Bring a star
Pink, purple, red, white, black… star
As your wish
You can bring a love shape star

Fifty three lanes through Fifty two bazaars
Familiar to us
Bad odor to good
It's our Mars

Come with the violet star
Come to TSC, DU
Our love will be eternal intact
As the fragrance of populous discover!

old petes mama gladys

Gladys, an old lady, forgot she was ninety-two
Her body cannot do what it could at fifty-two
She climbed the farmer’s fence and dropped down six feet
Broke her hip, elbow and neck, said her son, Old Pete

In the hospital waiting for surgery
Ninety-two! She yelped. Surely that cannot be!
Old Pete stomped off angry, and left her with me.
I get his goat good sometimes, she told me with glee.

Out of Control

The remote control seemed to hang in the air
as it described a perfect arch towards the pool,
flying, hands-free, in its own metaverse;
a surreal image, frozen not by it, but of it.

The tiny buttons, scrambled over, a moment ago,
glinting in the sun. PAUSE, clearly showing upon one.

Also frozen, on the fifty-two-inch flat screen,
the losing goal. That cost the match ~ caused the flight.

Heredity

The family album from times ago
Has faces I never knew,
Except…for a tint-type I feel I know
From eighteen fifty-two

The mouth is like mine and eyes as well—
Our cheekbones are high--the same;
But he was reputed to pact with Hell,
And shamed our honored name.

And I shrink at the mention of sorcery—
(The Devil’s work on Earth!),
But whisperings in our family
Have shadowed me since birth.

NEW YEAR'S WISHES

NEW YEAR’S WISHES

A year of unwavering faith and hope,
inner peace, joy and being yourself.
Twelve months of simply the best…
love, sweet love to spread around.

Fifty two weeks of laughter to lighten
your heart, soul and free your spirit.
Three hundred sixty five days of smile
that makes you or someone feel better.

Bring in the new you! you…you…you.

   Sweet Lady Jane (Marilene Evans)

My Word You Do Look *****

You’re ninety two, well blow me down
I never would have guessed
You look so young and sprightly
And seem so full of zest
You’ve got your hair, its all your own
Your teeth are yours, not false
The way you talk, it’s obvious
Your mind’s intact, of course
What’s that you say, I’m sorry
Sometimes I can’t quite hear
It’s fifty two, not ninety
My word you do look *****
