Is celebrity really curse

Spending wads of cash in your purse

Sycophants ready to please

They wipe your butt if you sneeze

At Twenty Seven dead in a hearse...

Twenty-seven is eighteen plus nine.
The difference of thirty less three is fine.
If you're not a fool,
and you stay in school,
it's the square root of seven hundred twenty-nine!

Twenty degrees below zero that's how I feel.
Shut out from the world but I can still see the marijuana thieves.
Say my prayers every night but I still hear gunshots from twenty-seven different streets....

Wonder if I ask politely, the great powers that be
Would increase the day's hours by just two or three
Not asking for much
My heart would be touched
Right now there's not even time for a pee...

Yankees twenty- seven times
maybe some of them were crimes

Cardinals won eleven
taking their fans to heaven

and the Red Sox won eight
I do appreciate

a few teams tied with five
keeping the love alive...

To increase the day's hours by just two or three
Not asking for much

I-nvite not the blue;

O-pen your heart to warm 
G-reetings that surprise....

L-etters of sweet song
A-re written in pure love; 
L-yrics that make you smile
A-re inspired by God above.

A-llow me to send this rhyme, 
N-ot delayed for too long; 
D-ay twenty-seven in July, 
E-mail my letters of sweet
S-ong....

I have twenty-seven rings
Most never see daylight
lingering in my jewelry box

My two favorites are on my hands daily
one a red ruby, the other a blue topaz
with a rainbow opal band.

I have diamond rings somewhere too.
They do not have the color I crave.
My artist self needs these two....

A giant red moon appears. 
every twenty-seven years
during the month of June
Over blue lakes and shallow lagoons 
Over faithful flocks of yodeling loons 
Over the peaceful shores and white dunes
Across the Cameroons 
You can hear the tune of the yodeling loon. 
every twenty-seven years under the giant red moon....

E-arly in the morning 
V-ile weather passes by; 
A-fter the rain has gone, no more coal clouds in the sky. 

B-eautiful beacon shines 
U-nderneath the blue heaven; 
T-uesday thrills your heart 
I-n December twenty-seven. 
A-llow the haze to fade into the stormy Monday; 
L-et your birth bring light to the break of new day....

B-efore the last shot was crucially done, 
U-nfazed foe made it through; 
D-espite his twenty-six score, 
D-eciding twenty-seven came from
Y-ou.

H-ard event on long bombs
I-mpressively was won; 
E-very second truly counted, 
L-ast shot was crucially 
D-one.

J-ust think, look or gaze
A-t the wide blue sky; 
Z-est fills the noontime, 
Z-enith awaits up high.

L-ook or gaze and think
O-f the silent, quiet heaven; 
R-ed rays calmly shine
I-n November twenty-seven.
L-et the breeze bring sweetness, 
L-et it softly kiss your face; 
A-llow your mind and eyes to just think, look or gaze....

thursday night
twenty seven degrees
if you want to know i'm sad
but this is quite normal
because in this quadrant of life
there's a taste of old insomnia
a one way ticket
a meaningless fall
descent dark landscape view
who paved this street already knew
who would walk for it
and what kind of stones to use
to cause maximum agony...

S-ilent waters run deep, 
M-aking the river stay serene; 
I-t's truly nice to know
T-hat the insight is
H-idden.

G-et the message from the words, 
U-sing not the loud noise; 
M-eaning of the phrases
A-ims not for the shallow voice.
W-isdom from heaven above
I-s truly worth to keep; 
D-ay twenty-seven of September, silent waters run deep....

D-awn in March twenty-seven 
A-ims to leave the moon; 
L-ight reaches the zenith, 
E-ndorsing the 
N-oon. 

A-s the dawn in March twenty-seven 
S-tops the dusk and twilight; 
U-nderneath the bright sky, 
N-o dark is in sight. 
C-oal clouds turn white 
I-n the wide blue heaven; 
O-pen your eyes to the breaking 
N-ew dawn in March twenty-seven....

A walk through life holding your hand
Together we shall walk
Swinging back and forth as we talk
I once pushed you on a swing

I once gave you a diamond ring you meant everything
Always wherever we went I took your hand
Twenty-seven years have disappeared
My hand is empty as I walk alone
Thinking of yesteryear

The one thing most missed is
Clasping your hand...
