is saying right now. "Batter up, even when 
I am making biscuits so that I can be baking 
them."

She is 100 today....

as I suspected, she is straight out of the sixties
chic and sophisticated in all ways...

Loud cheers for the Royals were heard from the local bars
The greatest of them all

jackie-o'-lantern

jaws she blows tricks and treats
just the sweetest pumpkin,
jamming to candle light,
jaspers and goblins flight.
jumping jack's finds her door,
jeweled cutouts divine,
jostling to dip her treats.

Jackie Robinson was my hero, first man of colour back then
History in the making
He was shaking' and baking'
Most teams weren't accepting but my Montreal Royals were... amen!...

Not so easily
trapped am I as 
I thought. 

But I fought
for straightness
and White picked 
Fences.

Came and I Fell
For it. 

But let's 
undo these knots
Now. And Like
Jackie Onassis
I am Marilyn

And you are
Not safe....
