Short Richie Poems

A butcher named Richard McCall
Attended a naturist ball.
        But at registration,
        Due to refrigeration,
His name tag read "Dickie McSmall"....

RICH

Don't have money
Nothing mine's fancy
But I'm still richie
Cos I got honey

I'm not weary
I'm not angry
Just very happy
Cos I got sweetie

I know how love could kill me
Life and love, they both tricky
but they can't make me blurry
Cos I got you, to be called baby...

Heard the news today 
     about Mr. Havens 
He left this mortal coil yesterday
    I remember his "Minstrel From Gault"well
I thrilled when I heard "Man came down from "Sinai Mountain" 
He was a terrific guitarist 
     with his own unique approach to the instrument 
"Gone from the Earth to a Better Land I Know"...

There is a young spider called Richie
Who is  covered in hair and is quite itchy
The scariest spider you've ever seen
People see him and run and scream 

Richie just wants to be hugged
Even though he is a frightening bug
Richie can't help he's a spider
But he is a tough little fighter

So he walks with a smile on his face
Even if you run out of this place
For he knows if he doesn't make a peep
He'll get his hug when you sleep...

The season of the 
    seder 
is 
almost 
upon 
us 
We will be filled with joy 
when we imbibe 
the four cups of wine 
   The mighty Red Sea 
parted for Moses and the Israelites 
as they move forward 
with their plans 
The late, lamented 
Richie Havens 
sang of Sinai in his 
   "Minstrel from Gault"
This year we once more 
are thankful 
for the Passover meal 
   and yes , we will take joy in 
our delivery from forces which 
are intended to destroy us...
