over the mountain
into a big cloud one little cloud
overcoming adversity...

so mature pomegranate's season
love to pick the big pinky one
sweet succulent juicy tender...

A constellation
is the big picture one sees
when connecting each star
so all the traits on a person or thing
can be seen for what they really are...

So the day has come
The big two one
But age is not just the number of times
You’ve been around the sun
It’s a measurement wisdom gained
Before it’s all said and done...

So the day has come,
The big two one
But age is not just the number of times,
You’ve been around the sun.
It’s a measure of the wisdom gained,
Before it’s all said and done....

Michael had a little fly
His hair was white as snow
And everywhere that Michael went
The fly was sure to go

It went with him to work one day
And everybody said
No flies on Mike except for that
Big black one on his head

there once was a gal named Sue
her boyfriend loved wearing  suede shoes
they had a big fight one day
and needless to say
Sue threw his suede shoes away
they made up  thereafter
that was a disaster
he tried to get violent with Sue
that was a mistake
his arm she did break
and now the poor guy's black and blue...

We answer big questions one by one
As scientific progress marches on.
When we find an answer, we’re not done.
Up spring two new questions to dwell upon!

Math then informs us of a sad pitfall.  
While the pace of learning does not relent,
There comes a day we know nothing at all - 
Rounded to two decimals, expressed in percent....

My heart is in your hands 
When you are away 
Each day is bland

If I'm being honest
The world isn't enough
Without you to share it

Messy hair and giggles
If our lips could touch
It might just tickle

Two hands
One big and one small
Going together like a brick to a wall

If you're falling like me
I could catch you
But let me fall slowly 

Because I know now 
Your the one and only
Take my hand and don't be lonely...

oh lovely bed, dishevelled bed, 
warm and cosy snuggle bed
too nice to get out of bed
too big for one it should be shared

crisp clean sheets, to curl the toes bed,
pack of pillows for my head.
duvet to wrap around me, bed
wish you served meals, need to be fed.

coffee and toast make it a special bed
crumbs to lie on, isn’t good it’s said
best you throw me out, get a shower,
oh bed, can I sneak back in an hour, 

my bed I love you.

A few big Baracudas one day
had assaulted some fish “schools” at play.
Many fish bravely fought.
The most famous did not.
Charlie Tuna sped quickly away.

Charlie Tuna had been cowardly,
so the other fish asked him why he
swam away from the brawl.
“Don’t you know – after all -
I’m the chicken,” said he, “of the sea!”

Spending money here and there
Pennies, nickels, dimes and dollars
Prices raised without a prayer
Leaving my pocket with a holler

Groceries cost more and more
Utilities are higher and higher
I don’t really know what for
I sometimes wish I knew the supplier

Mortgages and interest take a chunk
What do I do about the price of red meat?
My paycheck has definitely shrunk
Buying one dinner is a huge feat

Maybe I’ll get a big raise one day
I hope that will happen this May...
