Man, that's Aunt Allie Murphy,
Yeah, ironing board surfing.
See the look on her face,
And She's hooked a great wave.
Pearls with curls then a slurpee...

Murphy

Life is but a word
for a whole
that is more vast
wonderful and terrible
than we can say

A cyborg named Murphy, quite tough,
Said, "Your crimes? That's enough, bloody guff!"
With his metal-clad thigh,
He'd make villains all cry,
Then ask, "Would you like some hand-cuffed... cuff?

Joe Murphy built a wall at great expense.                       
He bought a vicious dog to guard the fence. 
One night there was a dense fog;
Joe stumbled on the fence dog.
We haven't heard a word from Joseph since....

Precious friend,
dear friend,
my best friend.

Brings me joy,
brings such smiles,
precious dog.

Wonderful friend,
been such a delight
to have you here.

Will enjoy every moment
Murphy old dog,
until that fateful day....

Murphy loves to lie
in holes that he has
dug for himself so well.

The comfort zone is
his well dugged out hole
when outside in the fresh air,

by the tree or by
the side of the house
he is at home there
and so carefree.

I'm going to free that pickle from the jar
Free for a minute but it won't get very far
In my mouth as the juices flow
Down the hatch here you go
Poor pickle was gone before I got to the car

Knock  Knock……Who’s there?
Just me in my underwear (ha ha ha)

Knock Knock……Who’s there? 
Me about to lose it so I turned on my music  (ha ha ha)

Knock Knock…..Who’s there?
LIFE

So I opened the door
And excuses were no more.

Murphy you always had the biggest smile,
Heartbreaking to hear its goodbye for a while,
You put up a good fight, right til the end,
Such a lovely boy, and a good friend,
Haggot heast was your best crack by far,
May you be at peace now you're the brightest star....

Don't say a word
because what they heard
is not what was said
but somehow they were mislead

Keeping it real is underrated
when what you said is not well stated 
So if you feel like cleansing your soul
think twice and close YOUR PIE HOLE!!

Murphy is loving her reading tower of books.
Adventures, biographies, and suggestions to cooks.
Home improvements, that she will never do.
Mysteries, picture books, and Manga too.
folktales, fantasy, fiction and non-fiction galore.
All Murphy can say is, "Please bring me more!"...

"Shine my boots, wench!" Larry said
"Fetch my wine and cheese and bread!
Tidy up my murphy bed! 
Feed the hog and Mr. Ed!
Corn mash for Rhode Island Red!
Why look so gobsmacked by dread?
Did you not say I thee wed?"
"Oh, I said it, until dead"
I confessed, then bashed his head....

I
The Station

Waiting for gas,
We wait for glory!
It arrives...
Oh, dear...

II
The Sound

All things are grand
At the elemental core
All things spray like pure beams

III
The Court

Say, you, the lover of three?

IV
The Light

It is the light that I hear
Not the three that I smear...

Always together in heart,
always together in soul.

Always together in love,
always together in spirit.

Always together in harmony,
always together in joy.

Always together in play,
always together as friends.

Always together as mates,
always together till the end.

for my two dogs
Murphy and Brandy.

There’s nothing more refreshing
than a delicious fruit cup
But it reminds me of myself
because all the good things inside are all mixed up.

My feelings for Snickers are not just lust
Can’t resist the CHOCOLATE, can’t resist the NUTS
It really reminds me of my Man
Since I try to get a piece every time I can!!

I started writing to cleanse my soul
And yes people, I have reached my goal
As I read, I can see, All that is around
And the joy of myself is what I found

I admire your thoughts, your souls and your pens
So you know I will be back again
And when I am don't be in shock
because I am

THE NEW KID ON THE BLOCK!!

There is a rodeo and
there are cheerios,
my dog is a corgi-o.

He is always wanting
something and I say,
o what do you
want now, so I let him out.

He will be outside
and he barks to come
back in, I say o Murphy
make up your mind.

He will paw me
once again I say
listen here you
little o corgi
stop being o so pushy.

Earl the Pearl Monroe played basketball
he played guard being five foot three tall

he had great moves on the court
was a businessman off court

in childhood best friend was Knicks fan
he played and he had the best plan

back then Calvin Murphy was I
then after losing don’t ask why

because Earl the Pearl was won again
later in life I finally win

At a time he should have been set
Murphy became rather upset.
Scott had this guessed at the outset
But not how to Murphy reset.
Scott could only pray that Murphy
Go home with the cherished trophy;
With loss his room might seem stuffy
And unusable seats fluffy...

But setbacks checked at their onset
Required one who was preset
And Ben Murphy–photo inset
Didn't look a pin the preset....

As I observe you
both as you slumber
in the grass on
this warm June afternoon.

One of you has moved
to shade, while other
bathes in sunrays,
oh so warm you must be.

Sunshine feels so good
to these old bones,
know you both feel the same
as you rest there.

Your both one kind of dog
love you both, as rain
drops now falling, but
will stay here ok.

i remember Brittany Murphy movie star
so beautiful with those bed room eye's
i could look at her all day. 
but as of late it is too late
she is now The Late Britany Murphy
oh sad sad sad day
she was my star
my beauty
she played in many different roles
and now she's gone
where they go
with michael, Farah, anna
young and old
famous or not
pretty or pretty ugly
we all gotta go
good bye Brittany
it was love at first sight...

What a great baseball player was Dale Murphy.
Here was a man endowed with natural ability.
He made so many fellow players green with envy.
Swinging a bat, he could hit the ball a mile.
Dale exhibited fielding prowess all the while.
What an impressive career he has to show.
Dale was Most Valuable Player two years in a row.
However, he has missed election to the Hall of Fame.
To leave mighty Mr. Murphy out seems a shame.

"Any fool can turn a blind eye but who knows what an ostrich can see in the sand." Samuel Beckett, Murphy


The ostrich sees as if it's on drugs
And the colours are more than you can see.
The colours you see on colourful mugs
Are nothing to what an ostrich might see.

The ostrich hears as if it has gone up 
To heaven, with all the heavenly harps.
Pure poetry, then, fills an ostrich's cup.
An ostrich is clever... That Murphy knows much!...
