Tulsa
There once was a large fat man from Tulsa
Who liked his beans covered with hot salsa
More he'd say
Hotter some way
While his stomach was crying carumba...

Hot Times
After landing we sat there 
Waiting for clearance 
to taxi  down to the hangar
For about a half hour
Twenty of us sweltering
In hot Tulsa sun
Inside a closed stifling plane
Then one stupid jerk said
Open the damned hatch
It’s hot in here
The crew chief smiled
And opened the hatch
Did you ever see an open 
a furnace door?
Nothing was in focus
It shimmered...

Rodeo Cowboy
I knew a rodeo cowboy in Tulsa
Broad shouldered with shiny blonde hair
He was a sight to behold with women
Knew 'em all at our county fair

We’ve got a high school rodeo team now
'Bout the best you’ll find anywhere
Four ropers, three riders and a clown –
Broad shouldered with shiny blonde hair

The Intersect
In the midst of the struggle
In the middle of the pain
In the midst of the chaos
In the middle of the change.

When life seemed confusing
and my path was indirect
is when I found you
on a journey that intersect.

Tulsa, OKC
and a few towns in-between,
our paths crossed
creating a love unforeseen.

Together forever
was our wedding vow
choosing a life together
without questioning how....

Bio James
James
Church, writing, tennis, playing with great grandkids
Brother of John, Gene and Florence (all deceased)
Lover of my bride, Marie of 64 years, son Larry, daughter Pam
Who feels old in body, young in spirit, yet ambitious though an octogenarian
Who fears snakes, earth quakes and inadvertently stepping on toes
Who would like to see Israel, my book as a best seller, and another flea market
Resident of Tulsa, Oklahoma

Small Town
She grew up just 20 minutes southwest of Tulsa..
In a small town with 2 stoplights and a Tastee Freeze...
Everyone gathered at the First Baptist Church every Sunday morning...
Remember, if you haven't got anything good to say about somebody...
Please come and sit by me...
The years passed quickly and she couldn't wait to leave that town behind..
It's funny how time always brings you back to the Tastee Freeze and a
Root Beer float....
In a small town.......
