He asked if I could manage a huge one
I said twelve inches would be fine
I put the phone down, smile in anticipation
My body sure quivers
When Pedro delivers
A meat feast pizza for me, its divine!

If I had not seen you yesterday
With my eyes
I would think you a hill
Not a mountain

For today
The clouds go to the sky
And you hidden
Behind closed doors of white

What a rockstar life i live

I just defrosted the fridge freezer

But at least i now have

Plenty of

Ice , ice baby

Only problem is

Pity shame the vanilla
ice cream went off

So unfortunately now
Dom Pedro 
&
Knickerbocker glory

As they are off the menu...

Carmen has never tried to be pretty
Her six brothers warned her to stay plain.
But as she grew, she could not help herself.
Now they are scaring suiters away on a regular basis.
I got Jose, you get Pedro.
Done!
I shooed Thomas, you shoo Jesus.
You are asking me to shoo Jesus?...

PEDRO THE PEDDLER. . . 
 
Pedro the peddler always had something to sell
Painted wooden pegs to a nice new bicycle bell 
Here every Tuesday on your door he would knock
Routing in his bag to find some old piece of crock
"Mind all nicked" says Pedro from his prison cell

Indiana Shaw . . . ; )...

Pedro, a slick, suave and smooth matador
  The pride of his native-state, Ecuador
    He'd flash his red cape
    The bull would go ape
  After each pass, the fans shouted, 'Encore!'

  One time Pedro let the bull come too close
  The crowd sat in stunned silence, comatose
    Pedro may have been gored badly
    Yet he still smiled most gladly
  'Time for a new gig,' he said ~ 'Adios!'...

Ship San Gabriel  sailed from Portugal
wit brave navigator Pedro Alvares Cabral
strayed around
the cape of Boa Esperança
moved away from the coast of africa
so much until seeing the island of vera cruz,
he saw it was bigger land,
he called the land of the holy cross,
 when he landed he saw that it was
even bigger... so immense
that could only be a country...
Later time he called it Brazil...!...

lessons handed down
no acts of kindness
more like the answer
to the question
are we paying attention

back in sixty-five
forty second and San Pedro
backroom of the barber shop
racking pool balls for pennies
or whatever them players
saw fit to handout 

hustle in some folk’s eyes
scripture in others
Gandhi or Elijah Muhammad 
Jesus over Iceberg Slim

a world like a bordello
filled with pimps and Johns
and the only ho' in the room 
was me...

It was a short course.
I was a course teacher.
As I was about to leave for the airport
At the end, a participant came up to me.
She: You are a ‘Don Pedro!’
I: How so?
She: You know, Pedro’s girlfriend 
Once drove him along the seashore
To a lonely spot,
Stopped the car and said:
Take whatever you want.
And Pedro took the car.

Oh, wake up, my (lazy) heart!

The Lovers


 On my walks in the interior of Algarve
 I followed an overgrown track that once
had been a road for horse and carts.
At a clearing, I found a clumsily made shrine,
and on it with unsteady hands, was written
Pedro and Maria 1912.
I sensed an immense peace sitting here.
Love is enduring and everlasting.
Their tenderness is what I breathe 
in the trees and plants.
Later on when I was lonely and sad
I went up there and warmed my soul
on their love....
