Morphed metal beams into steel scraps
Oh say what a fright
The dawn's early light
Ends the anthem-man's span with taps

Obama’s platform seems kind of strange
All he stands for is lots of change
He's made it easy for me to heft
The small amount that I have left

Never Allow the Weeds

Oh Lord,
Never allow the weeds
To grow under my feet,
Cause I might just be
Pulled out and discarded
Onto the compost heap of life…...

I So Love All Animals So Unconditionally,

pales in comparison to yours truly,

Playing bowls, Sir Francis Drake
on Plymouth Hoe did ages take
for the game proved that much harder
than beating the Armada

Presidents Day

I can hardly wait for Presidents day
I seem to see it just one way
If Obama steps out and sees his shadow
We'll have another year of high unemployment to go!

My name is Charles Francis Messina 
I can dance - but I'm no - ballerina 
My toes are too small - and I'd tumble and fall 
Then you'd giggle - like a laughing - hyena

Pope Francis died, 

Thus

Poorer leaving the earth and humanity in pain,

While heaven,

Celebrating is, for becoming richer by one saint.

In the Smallest of Us

IN THE SMALLEST OF US

In the smallest of us
There are GIANTS.
In the least of us
There are NOBLE PRIZE champions.
In the battered souls of us
There are many VICTORIA CROSS winners.
