These Gentlemen of Camelot
Laid to rest,
Beside his
Two brothers,
Here, we nest,
In providence
These gentlemen of Camelot
Sir Edward Kennedy,
May you rest in peace...

What buoys the Harris campaign?
Trump’s stench with an orange pee stain
While Walz is revered
J.D. seems too weird
And Kennedy has a wormed brain

He'd earn a gold star
Instead he found Jack Kennedy...

Handled things;

Recognized as independent identity....

This Joyous Light
What make men
Have this courage
To do what is right
Spread your wings and
Take this flight, because you
Hold this joyous light
Sir Edward Kennedy,
America loves you so much...

Robert F. Kennedy Junior
said he had a brain worm but did they check for a tumor?
He claimed at one time to be an animal mutilator.
Now he sits at the table of America's dictator....

Sir Edward Kennedy
Taken from us
Your extraordinary life
This torch must pass
To another cause
This moment in time
As time marches on
Until we yield
Things back to God
Farewell, my friend, and
Do take care...

Ted Cruz On Fox News
Ted Cruz on Fox News

Wondered what in the world if Ted Cruz,
Was found in a  bar being on Fox News;
Dad Kennedy Shot,
And he got caught,
Joking around while drinking few brews.

November 22, 1963

From a sniper's single bullet

And stole the heart of America
  innocent nevermore to be...

One candidate will rave, lie, cheat and molest The second seems ready to be a hospice guest But we have a third choice With a strong forthright voice Half his mind is brilliant, but a worm ate the rest!

Khloe Kennedy April
her way to touch the sky
her light in mine
her soul on my destiny

I like our dawns to two
her stains of silence

I like nova fire
these vibrations to caress

I like our mad fantasies
their dust of instant

an instinct of existence...

Upset About Death of Bobby Kenedy
Upset About Death of Bobby Kennedy

Am listening to Hardball with Chris Matthews
who had written a book about Bobby.

Was a moment we may never forget;
Our society had to pay another debt;
A body died,
And we cried;
Bobby Kennedy is gone and are upset.

Yes, I'm the last baby boomer
too young for Woodstock, Kennedy
too old now to pretend
But I am the People
I'm this generation

our sister, father, brother
We are all Eve...

Premium Member Ted Kennedy
We have lost, yet, another imperfect friend.
A family man, whose lapse took decades to amend.
Whose congeniality in gentility will always abide,
whose search for universal equality in us still resides.
Let none who have not serve so reply.
Mourn, Edward Kennedy has died....
