Dentist Ben
Hampton had a dentist named Ben,
Inflowed nitrous gas to begin.
Just then his wife called.
Kept on talking that's all.
Life until paroled from the pen.

The zephyr on the weather vane
now pointing North
and this constant back and forth
Finally taking Standing Hampton down Candy Cane Lane
The Red Barron shot down in flames
(Thanks for the tour of the upper balcony M'lady)

Brooke Hampton…a children’s book author
Is where I’m pulling today’s Nella’s blessing from:
Speak to your children
as if they are the wisest
kindest
most beautiful and magical humans on Earth….
for what they believe…
is what they become.

Many hard battles King Billy fought
ere he fell from his horse at Hampton Court.
No enemy's musket laid him low,
no cannon ball , no swordsman's blow.
A hoof of his horse got caught in a hole,
the work of a lowly burrowing mole.
On the Emerald Isle some raise a toast
to this notable victory of the least o'er the most.

"Onward and upward"
the good men and women were heard to say
as they drew their swords to join the fray
The enemy was vanquished and did quickly give way
And peace was preserved in a grandiose display
Now for those that gave all we kneel and pray
So they will be forever remembered on this Memorial Day

Hampton Beach
The smell of fresh fry doe
Time had elapsed playing at the casino
Fresh lobster with a side order of fries
Those spacious wonderful sky's
Down at the shell the continental were playing
A walk by the lady of a statue in waiting
Flip flops and the sound of laughter
A playground for kids in the middle
The boardwalk with seagulls flocking over head
Fire works in the midnight air with a cheer

Glistening throngs walk in detached cadence
Sweating long necks on a production line
Along the boardwalk
Pungent saltwater and fried dough drifts
Ocean meets country fair
Constant clamor of teen and seagull
A multitude of color variation
Red to black
Whiffs of Coppertone and Noxzema
To ease the pain of the vain and pale
Summer at Happy Hampton Beach
Arcade upon arcade
Clinking bells and whirly sounds
“You’re a Winner!” it screams
And then we are gone, until next year
