its take your time
to shine
go out town
get around
take in the sights
see the city light

for you too
HOP ON...

hop on the back
of the Cheshire cat,
made of devil’s food cake
faint into the void, 
ladling out clusters of
pinkish-blue whipped dreams...

there gold
to drop off a load
they go city and town
no one around
need to eat and sleep
so they hop  on a cot
at nearest
TRUCK STOP...

   Elevator, escalator, or stairs
     Gramma couldn't decide

   Gramps said, Hop on my back
     Pretty ladies ought to take fliers...

A man tried to hop on the caboose
But his pants came a loose
He felt to the ground
Made a very loud sound
He looked like a sick mother goose...

I don't mind being alone 
As long as I have a life of my own 
As long as I don't hop on other's rack 
As long as I'm minding my own track

Please see Gulf of Cadiz
Praia da Rocha Beach
Tour port cellars and bridges
hop-on hop-off buses make travel easy
take oh my cod food tour with Ricardo in Lisbon...

Golly, what a Pickle you’re In -- Bub,
How is it That you’re stuck in a Pub?
Gullible -- You look, Pimp
for why not hop, on Blimps?
and Fly in its Massive Ruba-dub.

I once met a sad Easter bunny
He cried as his choc eggs were runny
I said hop on your feet
And get out of this heat
Try Iceland, I hear it’s not sunny!

Trump Looks Like Laughing Matter

Trump does look like a laughing matter,
And he appeared to be a mad hatter;
Lead that commands,
With small hands;
On his train to destruction will hop on.

Life is short
Who hasn’t said that before
Each decade gets smaller
Time runs away
When we don’t grab it
And hop on
And mold it
Into images from thoughts
a fun-filled passionate life
To live and to die for...

stand, 
stand I say!,
lean not against a pillar or a wall,
hop on one foot like a pirate on a wooden peg,
step on burning coal,
step I say!
Let tears not fall,
neither ask for help nor beg.
prove your love
prove it I say....

Have you heard of this daddy-o named Jacques
If you have, then what I tell you won't shock
He's a nice enough sort
Invites ladies for sport
Like Dr. Suess, encourages them to Hop On Pop

I
Tangles
Life in bang - les and jangles
One angle
Unravels the tangles
One bang - le at a time

II
My only angle 
Of untying any tangle
Is to hop on Faith - plane
Even if time made it a debris jungle
Faith rescues me every time...

Watching the trains pass 
wanting to hop on 
and find my way home;
From this train station 
no destination; 

I run restless
jump and wander  
wishing on wind; 
 
A starving 
vagabond 
just searching 

hoping 
to feel 
loved....

Fly me to the Moon
      I'm nearly weightless

   Let me sing unto the stars
      Soon I'll not be mate-less

   Watch me dance the Milky Way
      as I relearn how to play

   Hop on an interstellar flight ~  
      Marvel at the beams of light...

Big yellow bus, I know you wont be long
Over nine metres, unless I am wrong
Left hand stretched out, it feels grand to hop on
Twists and then turns, towards my home beyond
Old places, old faces, tea nice and strong
Now this is my stop, it's where I belong...

Two Hearts will join together
Regardless of the weather

So put all other business aside
Hop on your Harley and ride

So as our vows we do say
You can share in the day

Blessed by the Lord above
Share in the union of Love

Life is a challenge   
Where the tracks go is unknown   
Hop on board ~ destine your life   
Lessons around each bend    
Journey with probity and love

Visualize Mexico’s Baja Peninsula
Let’s take a camel safari in Cabo San Lucas
We will hop on a hump
Might see pods of dolphins and whales
While we are on our leisurely stroll
for camels do not run, they walk.
Giving us more time to enjoy the beautiful Pacific Ocean...

hop on board my carousel of thoughts
  where wild ideas bob up and down
theories hang on tight for dear life
  some die on the vine; others run rife

tabulate all data collected
  frame it in pie-chart form
make sure it fits my narrative
  truth today, whatever conforms...

strange young man
laughing
smiling
but never telling a joke
twinkling eyes
sparkling eyes
filled with joyous hope
I like it when you dance
when you hop on one foot
when you cock your head to listen to my pleads
strange young man
i don't even know you
but your smile has bought my vote...

Listen to poem:

It is like that of a leaping rabbit who hop on all four,
Twenty-twenty, would then leap an added four more,
Leap at each fourth year, a day February would score, 
As for a century leaps at every four hundred years.

Going to catch us both a rainbow.
Hop on for a ride.
Help me choose a colour
and lay down by my side.

Romancing on a rainbow.
Is little understood.
Eventually I'll catch one
and then I think we should.

So next time when it's raining
You know right where I'll be.
Out there chasing rainbows
just for you and me....
