Was born with crippling polio
He overcame the stress
By swimming his best
He now has gold in his portfolio.

Diminutive,
held in outward sighs,
control, curtsy, chivalry
with oceanic eyes;

Cherry blossoms cruise

     Serenely on tranquil pond

          Koi glide beneath

               Seeking shade 'neath lily pads

                    Bright parasols on parade

In a Tokyo bar “Special cocktails for the ladies with nuts”

Botanists and chemists were in awe, in disbelief as we saw her fly by....

Puzzled five-star Generalissimo
On his map, he couldn't find Tokyo
  He looked here and there
  Darn near everywhere
'Course, his map's a street map of Kokomo

'Twas at the age of nine,
        In the year 1959,
        I undertook to build a ship,
        A bright red, plastic rocket ship,
        That housed a transistor radio,
        A cheap Japanese transistor radio:
          By whose dial I could magically go
          To Boston, New York, or Tokyo....
