OLE BLUE EYES
Many like Frank Sinatra
Even native Malays in Sumatra
Whether his words are sung or spoken
Everyone knows that voice from Hoboken

I don’t limit who reads my verse,
only who I answer
Each word thick-skinned and armor-clad
all questions zero-sum

Sinatra, Crosby, Bennett and Como
Crooners from the past a long time ago
Today's hullabaloo
Don't know who's who
Guess I'm just an old over-the-hill crow

Elvis, a phenomenon back in the fifties
Shakin' his hips after Sinatra and Der Bingle
First of his kind
Girlies went blind
A trance-like fever grabbed 'em, made 'em tingle

Frances Albert Sinatra
Was said to have ties to the mafia
Backstage bullets flew as old blue eyes crooned
Gangsters fell as their gun molls swooned

Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby and Perry Como
Crooners from way back when, quite a long time ago
Today's hullabaloo
Don't know who's who
Guess you could say I'm an old over the hill crow

You’ve really done it this time Frank.
You’ve made the worst mess ever seen -
A monster, hideous and rank,
A disaster, vile and obscene.
For yourself, what d’ya have to say?
Well, says Frank, “I did it my way”.

Verse
Leaning towards the pride of Hoboken,
I learned to listen with both ears —
And my wandering soul—
Whose cellar harbours old kegs of sweet
Songs that warm the spirits and embolden one
With just one hum of that pleasantly unique voice,
So frank and euphonious
That I crave love.

Ode
A New Jersey-ite, his name Hobo Ken
For singing ballads, he had quite a yen
He would sing like Sinatra
From Vegas to Sumatra
On rails he rode with fellow jobless men

This was a showcase for Kim Novak and Rita Hayworth.
If you saw this in the theater, you got your money’s worth.
What a fine example of fifties cinema.
This film seemed tailor made for Frank Sinatra.
With a fine story, and chock full of music galore,
"Pal Joey" is a movie just about anyone will adore.

I gave my heart away to you
On the night that new year drew
The Sinatra chimes and yellow vines
Sleeplessly anew
City of dreams, built on piano keys
And indie structures melodies
I left my heart in San Francisco**
But i stole it back for you
**this is a reference to Tony Bennett i hold no rights to this line

Those red suede boots came splashing in
With the pride of elephants, dangling fringe
I got out of the way, my mouth to my chin
Others were terrified, some did a cringe.
Nancy Sinatra could not have done any better.
Those boots were prancing up like an Irish setter.
I backed up toward the wall, and let them pass by.
Too terrified to squeak out the teensiest “hi”.

The late, great legendary American crooner, Frank Sinatra
did things "My Way." His signature song was also his mantra
Such a fine actor he was, too; even won an Academy Award!
Lovingly nicknamed "Ol' Blue Eyes" and "Chairman of The Board"

Amber leaves drifting seaward,
floating home downstream to you
where yellow moonbeams dance
upon your windswept shores of blue.
And how I long to gaze
into the depths of your Atlantic eyes,
cool and icy blue,
wouldn't Newman and Sinatra be surprised?
But I'm a million miles away,
drowning in Lelystad rain,
dropping amber leaves into the sea,
wondering when I'll be home again.

I have lived a life that is full;
I've loved,
I've laughed,
I've learned,
I've danced,
I've grown......
A life like no one else's I've created for myself;
my own dressing style,
my own creative writing,
my own amazing family,
my own identity signature....
As I take my last breath, I'll say I did it my way.....
(The Poem is themed by the song "My way" by Frank Sinatra)

NOT SINATRA
No, Frank, he sure didn’t do it your way,
Everything was doubtful - nothing in a sure way.
Wasn’t rich, lived in a poor way,
Drove fast on steep hill roads, not the flat shore way:
And never slowed, even at the four-way.
Big fat guy - like, how much can a floor weigh?
Was too shy at parties - just stood in the doorway,
But finally fell for a short brunette In Norway.

From somewhere the beat of drums
Steady rhythms piercing my senses
Persistently thump, thumping a bass
Thump, thump, thump, thumping
Behind unimaginably monotonous lyrics
And I longed for a crooner like Sinatra
Center stage with a single spotlight
No flashing strobes or crystal disco balls
Or pounding migraine made to order

THE BOHEMIAN LIFE
Mess of last night’s dishes not washed up
Saucer with a mis-matched cup
Caged kitchen hamster gnaws
Cornflake-box on his roof over paws
Window sill crowded with green plants
Radiator drying washed pants
Toaster doesn’t work well
Teabag jar with curious smell
Delicious dinner, nicest tea
Bread and jam the most tasty
Soft music of Sinatra

Just the touch of your fingertips
sent a thrill right up my arm
It started my heart a-pounding
you wrapped me in your charms
Holding hands as we window-shopped
sent my feet a-skipping along
As the music played, only for us
Sinatra crooning our favorite song
The years melt into yesterday
emotions so strong even now...
Although we've gone our separate ways
~ I'll always wish that we'd exchanged vows

~ To the tune of 'Let it Snow' ~
The weather inside's romantic
our ocean-liner across the Atlantic
Perhaps outside the storm is howling
on the couch this cat is me-owing
Who cares if this ship's gonna sink
It's just a flick ~ I'll pour you a drink
