Hours, days, weeks, go by and still no call
Perhaps the magic wand is working after all
That dreaded call
Awaits us all
I'm good for a while perhaps just need an overhaul...

SO NOW we get warm summer weather!!!
Can't all the weather gods get together
Probably have a crystal ball
Think it needs an overhaul
If they don't smarten up, gonna beat 'em with some leather...

WEE LITTLE SEAS

These little boats float in wee little seas,
And tall walls of rock do blanch in the breeze.
A leprechaun waterfall.
Park will need an overhaul,
When small lad, Lee, takes an afternoon pee.

At my age, I've seen it all, done it all, and heard it all
Only problem is, I just can't remember it all
Brain's filled to the brim
Even store stuff in my limbs
A marvelos specimen after my recent overhaul...

Mirror, mirror on bathroom wall
bring back the face that I recall
when I was young, full of vigor
and was happy with my figure,
before all of me needed a big overhaul.

Heaven is too far
Heaven is too far to walk 
Heaven we can only speak of.
Heaven is too far to fly 
Even if we try.Heaven isn't close at all 
It's just too far.
So let's do an overhaul.
And move it close for all.
So I can visit heaven.
When I want....

Bringing undesirable to book, 
on irregularities for the look, 
exposing acts of crook and hook. 

plugging out loopholes, 
erecting pillars and poles, 
making a determined score. 

Remedying, 
nursing bruised soles, 
overhaul to the core

Magic touches us all
In tiny ways and big- such wonder is Spring's
Overhaul.

From Winter's sleep
Trees awake from dormant downswings;
Buds peep.

Limbs trance;
new blossom wings
dance.

Magic touches us all.
Trees awake from dormant downswings;
dance.

Our Nation in Gaiety

Listen!
Hey,
Jamie,
You got to understand,
Rob was so devastated,
Hmmm!
Right on,
See this is the situation,
My old lady,
I'm not doing this!
Reise, Reich, Renae
Is anyone still quick on your toes?
How many days in repeat?
All sound is contained in my auditory canal.
Where is yours?
Frontal lobe overhaul equals Mental Illness.

Oh and gun control to the max!

Let’s break down the wall between the races
Stop the hate and hostilities man now faces
Recognize that we are really witnessing crimes
Not unlike the ones seen during the Bible times
Filled with suspicion, prejudice, and demeaning
A world demanding an overhaul and a cleaning
Is there hope that our state will change direction?
Will we have to wait for the next general election?
Let’s hope that the good and not the bad prevails
And that world’s decisions are prudent and evil fails....

I feel it in my hips,
I feel it in my hands.
I hate the drying lips,
I hate the swollen glands.

The wrinkling of my skin,
The bags under my eyes.
The disappearing grin,
Comes as no surprise.

No more can I taste,
No more can I savor.
The chicken that I baste,
Has lost all its flavor.

Oh, my aching back.
Oh, my tired bones.
Oh, my knuckles crack.
Oh, my constant groans.

The times that I regret.
The times I don't recall.
One thing I need to get,
A complete overhaul....
