They played strong to make a goal
Three to two the end....

As the sounds meander through the night,
Both my ears tingle with delight.

with eccentric art so bright
He loved his local Cookham village
depicting it in a collage...

guns and bombs are used to destroy.
Words arranged eloquently can make Peace.

I once got a terrible cold,
Or an allergy from some mold.
All I said was, “ah-chew,”
And I constantly blew,
Until fresh air got it controlled.

Here lies Mr. Stanley McCarver
     a proud corn and beans farmer

       Stanley ate his yields, didn't bring them to mart
       Don't linger too long, you can still smell his farts...

with sucking lips he could blaze cold alley.
In journey from top downward
his machismo got devoured,
on V-night he lost way in silk valley.

Creates power.
Buying, selling, hoarding
Society then destroyed by
Wealth.

I gaze upon our mantle
Stockings hung with love and care
I find them stuffed with magic

Don’t worry if your food contains fat,   
Can indulge after leaving your flat.   
Fat Tuesday is coming soon,   
You can feel like a balloon.
Just enjoy, and eat another stack.

When she gets mad she will rumble,
And many structures can crumble.
Perhaps this is her sign,
To stress things are not fine.
Man, why can’t she be more humble?

The sound of the clock:
tick… tick… tick
Makes me feel so
sick… sick… sick.
Weaker with each
breath… breath… breath.
All I can think of
death… death… death.

R-emember when our love was shiny and new,
U-nused and fresh, like blossoms in the dew.   
S-ome time passes, and we start to deteriorate, 
T-hen our love crumbles; now it’s too late.

Hockey season has just begun.
Now glued to t.v. for my fun.
   Canucks is my team,
   We have common dream,
This year `Lord Stanley' will be won.

Ride the storm of challenge
And reap the whirlwind
Of success,
For the essence 
Of character building
Is knowing how to define
What’s best.
