Short Made A Point Poems

Some go for metal 
Others prefer Bach 
Some prefer jazz 
others like rock 
Saw Black Sabbath and survived
Now I think their music is really "jive" 
Hip - hop now reviews the airwaves 
Hendrix made a point with his "Purple Haze"
so turn on to your favorite station 
All kinds of sounds in thsi large nation...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~   CONTROL


              Would you please sit still
         can you subdue your wild hands
               you have made your point



        GINSU - KNIFE    EASTPORT , MAINE   USA


    This what I think of when ever I see the Jazz Hands 
    person waving their hands at a political speech....

Let me tell you of something happening years ago:
It was in Atlantic City at the Playboy Hotel and Casino.
A redhead guy was at a craps table inside this joint.
He crowed like a rooster each time he made his point.
I said to him:  "In case you did not know,
the sun came up seven hours ago".

Inspired by a comment I made to one of Caren Krutsinger's poems.

Once upon a time, I came to you for help. 
You made it worse. 
You took me out of my home to a foreign place. 
You drugged me and put me on display. 
You hung me out to dry. 
You picked me apart, and I’m still trying to put myself back together. 
They say that the bond between parent and child is an unburnable bridge. 
You’ve left your mark. 
You’ve made your point.
You’ve burned your bridge.
You are dead to me....

We never used an ATM
In Stockholm, on our trip.
The guide on our free walking tour
Took dollars for a tip.

For every other purchase
We used charge cards like the Swedes,
Since coins and bills, it seems, are things
Today nobody needs.

A sign in a museum 
Made the point with quite a splash:
"We accept just who you are but we
Are not accepting cash."

How strange to visit someplace 
With no currency in hand.
Perhaps someday all cash will be
Considered contraband....

The woman that took me under her wing
This woman gave me everything

She gave me hope
Which was the only thing that kept me afloat

She gave me courage I never had
It kind of makes me sad
This woman most of all gave me love and understanding

No matter what went wrong she was right by my side
Even if she couldn't help she made a point to try

I want this woman to know how I feel
I want this woman to know I am for real

She is my mind and my soul
This woman is my Aunt Sherri...
