The dog barks
Amazons parked
In the ally across the way

Sakes alive
Boxes arrive
Each and every day

The way to shop
Until you drop
Is simply keep clicking away...

A racecar Claire wanted to drive.
Oh, madam if you want to survive
refer to these notes;
she sees it’s for boats.
It’s a kayak you need, sakes alive!...

Holy cow, oh dear Lawd, sakes alive! 
Sometimes English can seem so contrived.
I’ve finally made sense
out of whither and whence,
but should monosyllabic have five?

Is spring ever freaking well going to arrive
Bloody hell, it's long overdue, sakes alive
Done nothing wrong
Wear clean sarongs
Well sometimes I neglect to powder my thighs...

Sometimes when I imagined how the world bubbles,
    I feel deep for humanity?.
For goodness sakes how can we separate between
  let say the word Cam and bridge or Lon and don or 
  kan and Iyaka?.

When you are hell-bent
    to fold your tents
  That's when your ship comes in
    heaven-sent

  They say things are darkest
    before the dawn breaks
  worse than rhyming cliches
    for goodness' sakes...

Going through and looking at
Old videos for fun 
Sakes alive, wow, can you sing!
You sure know how it's done 
I've never heard another voice
Quite like the one you own 
It even sounds incredible 
When heard over the phone

I STILL LOOK UP TO YOU
IT'S NOT THAT HARD TO DO
I ADMIRE AND RESPECT YOU
AND AINT ASHAMED TO SAY IT
SOMETIMES WHEN WE SEE
 EYE TO EYE
AND WHEN YOU CAN TELL ME WHY
YOU WANT TO BE RIGHT WHEN
YOU'RE WRONG
OR ADVERSE FOR ADVERSE SAKES...

Blue rainbow in the sky
It is such a beautiful day
In this colorful rainbow
you can see all the colors
blue and white and green and red
so yellowy,  kind of...

So, the sky you wrote
So, the sky you blew
Blue sky, you heavens, blue....

My heart so aches 
openly my tears 
fall I  inhale the essence of you
 I feel for you
 quivers await akin  I so feel
so family keep sakes
Memories of my dilemmas

giant colorful fish from the turquoise southwestern lakes
began to stack themselves like happy golden brown pancakes
Lilly decided to join them to say hello, her hair floating like flakes.
What kind of fish is that? One asked. Without fins for goodness sakes!...

SLIPPERY SLOPE



If the world’s intentions
Were turned into actuality
Wars, famines, infections
Would cease to be reality



Our broad highway is not internet
But icy blackness without brakes
For most there is no safety net
But there must  be  - for all our sakes...

Words,
Sniffed by open ears.

Tangled sounds, of throats whose thyroid pounds,
For sakes, palavers and second rounds.

Hearing me, I learn to hear of you,
Your words my throat encode.
Vocalizations, tell tales of supplication,
Certain senses must've forebode....

Look for the Good look deep if you must
Open up your heart and give me a fresh start
One little thing to trigger it off and you never see the good in me
Why do you torment me with one mistake? 
Look for the Good for Goodness sakes 

Look for the Good you might see the Good in you!...

		mackerel pie for goodness sakes!

mackerel blinds
	mackerel drapes
		mackerel ice cream on chocolate cakes.

	mackerel cats.
		mackerel quilts made by a skittish old bird....

Driving alone through the pouring rain,
plenty of time and road to gain,
now who is that nut driving so insane,
it must be a dang lame brain,

Sakes alive! they keep switching lanes!
Why can't they wait 'til the weather wanes!?
All these nuts! done strained my brain,
Complain, complain, blame, blame, blame!...

I ache for your face so close.
I can still smell you.
Taste your breath.
Feel your fate
Entwined with mine.
This time to come our hardest part
Yet we will bear, abide, adhere
For all our sakes.
Guilt aside i shall value
The moment we had
And close my eyes and relive
Our reflection.
Over and over.
Until our future says no....

forests, swamps, plains, oceans, meadows and even lakes
are being polluted, bulldozed and littered for goodness sakes
everything is being harvested or relinquished in human’s name
creatures are vanishing rapidly! is the environmentalist’s refrain.
animal habitats are carelessly dismissed or revamped; who can survive?
Eventually will skunks, whales fox, big cats, bees or geese still be alive?...

Hiya, howdy, hey, and hello.
Juggle jams and jiggle jello.
Jumping joyfully, and jolly,
try it in a tram or trolley.

Happy, hopping, silly stomping,
rollicking and rowdy romping,
bouncing, bubbly butterscotch,
hilarious, howling, hot hopscotch.  

Lofty leaping, crazy creeping,
slipping, sliding, squawking, squeaking,
Care for cookies, candies, or cakes?
Such silly sounds, for heaven's sakes....

I am with your thoughts throughout the day ; They shout at me from the corner of my room,  and they are on replay .

I am with your thoughts throughout the night;  They wake me up with a terrible fright .

I am with your thoughts and I hear the hope; Stood on a podium singing  like the pope ..

I am with your thoughts when I awake ; In the morning I do pray for  peaceful thoughts,  for all our sakes....

I'm gonna make me NEW again
I don't need your damn help
you keep helpin to makin me the old me
so don't even offer to help

For God's sakes, I will eat
I will dance
tell dirty jokes
pretty much do what I've been doin
that upsets you
and keeps me happy

It keeps others happy too
So.. there you go
I make people happy
just being me

That really pisses you off
I geuss
Cuz you're not me.
An Ass....

Jack rabbit boogie. Jump rabbit, jump.
Twisting and turning, barely missing a stump.
Jack rabbit boogie, hopping in a crazy way.
Loving meadow’s grasses on this fine dag nabbit day!

Jack rabbit boogie, in the forest near the lake.
Jumping and gyrating, come on down for goodness sakes!
They are cavorting and contorting as only rabbits know to do.
When they are finished, we can have a fine Jack rabbit stew!...
