Grew up with Sammy- in the end we ate him...

There was a loose brick along the pathway. 
  
I nudged it with my foot 
  
as I passed by....

Poetry soup is so yummy,
Everyone is a poet no dummy,
Reminds me of my mummy,
And her boyfriend SAMMY.

Suzie sang seductively 
to Sammy the salesman. 

Sometimes she serenaded 
him on Sundays.

sammy scampered up a tree

to see what she might see

so far she boosted

an old owl roosted

on sams precarious knee....

Sammy went out on a lark
sailing his boat in the dark
and while he got drunk
his little boat sunk
so his hangover went to the shark...

Sammy was her best friend
he loved everything about her
she adored his loyalty and trust
they were a couple, woman and dog
she needed no other, he was enough...

Swing and sway with Sammy Kaye
In the mood the Glen Miller way
Names from the past
When life was a blast
Slow down and enjoy each and every day...

There was an eel on the ocean floor,
Sammy his name, he knew the score.
His friends said, he was smart,
Then upon a dinner cart,
He said, Hey, I am not an albacore....

Sammy wanted his uncle's attention
Uncle Pete adored him.
Took out his slingshot, thinking this would be hilarious
But this time it was not; he met a different Uncle Pete....

Sammy Skelton, a sorry bag of bones
Tried to keep up with Johnny 'Crossbone' Jones 
   He practiced grim groans
   Produced awful moans
Yet never did improve his muscle tone...

Today we celebrate 
Sammy the Seaman
who caught enough
to overfill his big net.

It's truly amazing that
he fed every family
from one single catch
which we'll never forget....

I once knew a girl named Sammy
I caught her one night in her Jammies
But it turned out that She was really a He
Never thought I could be "Double Whammied"

remember this fiction...

Some people say “what a crappy day!”
Seems all my vital signs are still clicking away
So I say OOOEEE!
Dance the boogie-woogie
Or let's just swing and sway with Sammy Kaye...

Sammy Jo’s photographer’s heart captures the seagull in flight
Her mother has collected seagulls since the seventies
She imagines her mother declaring this a masterpiece
she adores her daughter’s skills...

Read More

Awk, AWk, AWK,
Goes the seagull
Every morning
At 5.35

Awk, AWk, AWK,
It's exasperating
Provoking,
Maddening

Awk, AWk, AWK,
It's enticing
Alluring
Me

Awk, AWk, AWK,
To get a 12 bore
Take aim
BOOM
(silence)...

He seemed quite shy
did Sammy the Spy
Yet his reticence masked
a mind calculating, sly

When but a wee lad
Sammy uncovered the facts of life --
Picking his folks' bedroom lock 
He gawked, then gasped, 'Oh, my!'...

Whined a perky young songstress from Miami
"I think I am deserving of that Grammy!
I do not sound especially great
But my lungs, they surely do inflate
Frankly, no one sings 'Candy Man' like Sammy."

Sammy Davis and Ella Fitzgerald, jazz singers
Their b'deed'lee-dip riffs on the Sullivan show didn't linger
   In America's consciousness, and that's really too bad
   They were surely the best jazz singers America's ever had...

uncle sammy loaned 
himself some money 
to give to auntie nati's 
newest honey 
so uncle jerry  
would do the very same 
with mister rus to blame
for blowing pipes
but no one gripes
for honey a proxy
makes us all seem foxy...

The annual turtle race is an event for the patient few
It is not for the likes of him, me, Mommy, Sammy or you.
Unless you bring a novel, a jigsaw puzzle and meals to eat.
For it takes an incredible amount of time for each little heat....

everyone said
he was too small
for a good watch dog....

why did he leave
such a big hole in our hearts?

Samuelson was a scatter brained wizard
One day he zapped himself into blizzard 
          Used wand upside down
           His nickname was clown
He vanished, now wife has a pet lizard

how can you describe art?
I think writing is art

we paint pictures with words
They are our only swords

I’m a lover of art
The written art is smart

Art will keep growing
All should be knowing

Do your art whatever it is
And don’t forget Sammy Davis...

In the spring, Sammy loves planting trees.

With his son, he flies kites in the breeze.

But his favorite thing

Is at night performing

With his wife like the birds and the bees!
