A-rdent rock has firmly stood,

       Irene, dear cat
       Ate a fat rat
       Supping on this dish
       Now eyes my goldfish

without bowing
look at me

Not with the eyes,
but with the light of heart
look at me

And I'm soaking
in the joy of life
like that time....

Take your passion and make it happen
Music can take you to the highest stratum
Right from the start
Takes hold of your heart
Irene Cara in Flashdance, upper echelon

For SO...

I slept in very late
             Queen Irene ate my breakfast
             Flumoxed is me~but oh, not she!

The service conducted by the Reverend Bailey,
Irene Paula Lee married Jonathon Daley,
Now thee months since that day has passed,
Things going smoothly, nothing aghast,
Until a letter came addressed to, I. P. Daley...

You've been wrapping about my epitaph
corteges don't make the grade
Someone still saying goodnight Irene
You have Midnight flights of fancy
Someone is still playing pious
your silver eyes still glow
Four eyes out make good harmony...

The zephyr winds hess as
Irene and Sandy proceed with vengeance
Halloween Sea witches venturing close to shore
In search of mortal men; revenge on the Eastern shores.

The course of true love never 
Quite runs smooth, as the old adage goes: quote...

NATO…is 
A mean military machine 
Looking for a war 
It found one in Libya 
A monster’s sweet taste of blood 

Tanka 

Hurricane Irene 
Poured rain on Manhattan 
The world press aghast 
A coast guard shack damaged 
U.S. under siege again...
