Drain no vim rain in vain
On pursuits which gather you
A blend of strain and pain....

Relational,
Situational.

Rate aware,
Said affair. 

Increments,
Detriments.

Free choice,
My voice.

At the gym,
Inside vim.

Sim ready.
Foot steady....

Time for a gushy slushy mushy lim
You ladies deserve such vigor and vim
Inspirational I is

the crow is cawing 
on the perch of silky morning
dream snaring the sleep
waken stars going to life
light of activeness wins dark

April Fools Day remember that
Back in the olden days before I took naps
A young whipper-snapper
Full of vim and vigor
Played tricks on old people and all that crap...

On St Paddy’s day watch out for the jigger
He has stamina, vim and goblets of vigor.
His Celtic dances will put hair on your chest.
If I was not scared to death I would tell you the rest....

Here's the only way to start my day
Rooaaaar, beat my chest, holler “outta my way!”

Coffee black and true
Such a stirring brew
Feelings of vigor and vim
Full up to the brim
It sets the heart racing
Tends to keep you pacing
But what would we do
Without this amazing brew....

This parched expanse
of forlorn loss
begs my soul to
venture across
the cracked terrain
of cold disguise
to imbue dew
within those eyes:
a miracle
of splendid vim
that wets all threats
within our swim....

his fingers could play a piano they are long and thin
but they like the conga drums, he plays with vim
they prance and dance over the head showing off their slim
He is the ultimate drummer, Chicago Music Man Jim....

Vivacious, Vibrating, Vibrant
    That's what I'm asking for  
  I'll see what I can do...

  Vim, Vigor, Vinegar and V-r-o-o-o-m
    Ya know what I mean?
  That's asking too much

    I was afraid of that......

Kenny's retiring, no more touring for him
Perhaps I could take his place, still got vigor and vim
No one would know
Attending a show
Absolute millions from this charade I could skim

He was dressed like a circus clown for his grandma made him.
He thought it made him look silly, thoughtless and dim.
She was dressed as a fortune teller full of liveliness vigor and vim.
She told him his fortune and knew she would grow up and marry him....

My uncle died today
I don't know what to say
He was my fave.

Full of vim and vigor
Didn't need gun and a trigger
To have his say.

Slightly misogynist
But ain't the best of us
Flawed in some way?

I'll miss Abbott.
Has been my habit
To love him every single day....

... the young from the womb,
    anytime found transient, fleeting
    by the crestfallen, sullen tomb;

                  youth, with vim ablaze,
                  wanes and wilts with time's slow oozing;
                  years deface even the fairest face......

Oh, sure, Mr. Ruff can handle these kits, the Mama Cat said.
She gave him all kinds of credit and kept her dog-sitter well fed.
Mr. Ruff did his best, he really truly did, but they got the best of him.
He was too easy on the kittens, who were full of vigor, vinegar and vim....

Be still my heart, 
for the compass of this breeze is not yet known.
Hold fast my apprehensive pulse, 
for this roses thorns are not yet numbered.
Be as an oak my trembling knees,
for this currents vim has not yet peaked.
Be still my heart,
for this swan has yet to sing her song....

What is your philosophy of phlegm?
His ideas were a tiny bit dim
They fell from him like leaves off a stem
He stated them with vigorous vim

His sage answers lingered on the brim
One of them was a terrific little gem
None were answered on a whim
However, they were serious only to him...

Dad, Son, Friend, Lover
One man, many sides
Projections of vim, vigor, virility
Are just a few expressions of you

The love you give and the joy you bring
Leave many in awe
You carry the world on your shoulders
Inspire hope, promote faith

What you emanate from within
Shows who you are throughout...

What avail his vim,
Fulfilled dream, world at his feet
If lost he has him.

What good his great goal,
What, if his fame headlines hit
If  lost he’s his soul.

What, all power and puff,
What if world vies, him to greet,
Should his voice call bluff.

My toes are often sheepheaded at best
Their minds invisible, often at rest
But when I dropped an I-pad on them
They came awake with angry vigor and vim

I had no idea that a toe could hurt so
It swelled up like July corn that continued to grow
I was yelling in pain, oh, me, oh, my, oh!”
Hoping to alert my nearly deaf uncle Joe....

If once a flower stood in heaven's light,
fair petals, windswept, tending toward the dawn,
If ever vim exhaled from violet night,
redolent of her vigor, curtains drawn,
As meditative falls hum nature's rite,
so rapturous as queen unto her pawn,
To see fair love as certain in the heart,
I beseech you, heaven, may this be a start....

You know,
Life is a finite thing.
Our most precious gift,
we are only young once,
full of mischief and vim.
So, live it with gusto,
live it in bliss.
Have a great run,
Dismiss Bitterness.
Yeah, bask in the sun,
while your time exists.
You Know,
Life is a fine thing,
some time it will end.
Though On That Day,
A New one Begins....
