An answer to many a prayer:
Men shell out good loot
To eye a swimsuit,
Preferring the babe was all bare....

To another’s drumbeat,
Nor always dance
To another person’s tune,
But march in time
To your own heartbeat and
Dance and dance
Till you reach the moon …...

who these days all too few do know
Some thought he traded fruit & veg
but he merely  illustrated them instead
as this wikilink will quickly show...

Two little owls
Perched on a sign,
Can’t agree which way to go,
Can’t agree a route this time.

No need to argue,
Everything will be fine,
You fly your way
And I’ll fly mine....

A short-bearded man
began to write of his long life.

The book was published,
but not in this world
nor in any place
that could be illustrated.

Eyes did read it though -
but only his own....

When the light from the setting sun
Makes a shining path on the sea,
Am I the only one who can see it?
Is this path solely meant for me?
Is it a pathway to my dreams?
Do I dare follow it to see?...

Once there was a doctor by name James Notease
before his cabin pasted big an “illustrated notice”
“Please remove your footwears “
Illustration of cross over slippers.
Bloody this crazy doctor is mocking the illiterates!...

the word of change in human domain 
must be felt powerfully and conceived beautifully
it is animated or illustrated and voiced in style
with integrity and intent
it shines and glows
as it flies out to paint the way for change...

Impossible evidence and concrete lessons

  Wheaties in beer to start the day
    Off to work I stumble and sway

  Cocktail at noon to set the stage
    For the nap I need ‘due to age’  

  Double martini at 5:05
    Reflexes take a nosedive

  Night cap at 11:10 p.m.
    Wake up tomorrow
         ~ do it all over again

Fred Hardtselle, a salesman who died,
On his tombstone had these words inscribed:
"In a seance call me,
for a rather small fee,
I'll find out where you're going, and why!"

There once was a fella named Murray
Who lived his life in a flurry.
When the grim reaper stopped by
Murry refused to die
Saying, "I have a 
Meeting at 10:30."

A man with the name of Feng Shui
Arranged his life in a Qi-loving way.
Full of sweet harmony,
And life planned to a “T”,
Bad Karma didn’t “stand” in his way!

Ben’s best friend was a dog named Zid
Who he treated just like his own kid.
When Ben rode his bike
Zid piggy-backed like a tyke
Holding tightly in case of a skid.

Here is how I feel
Illustrated in my body’s lack of color
I am empty
And solely wish to appease you
With a crafted caricature
I am bitter
Looking at everyone I see
With spite-filled stares
I am tempted
To defy everything I stand for
Just to make you angry
I am sorry
That I was a better person
When I was with you...
