Sizzling, colorful
Zingy, zesty, zippy
Happy, upbeat, drab, plain
Calming, blending, neutralizing
Tree-like, blah

Zebra is not the odd one at all
In tales of adventure so springy and tall
In the land of the wishy swisher kings
The zebra is zippy, kind of one of the zings....

You can unzip all my zippers
Until only one is left
In my body bag
Coming back from some kind of war
Ordered by my government
It’s a zippy world
Don’t expect more from a government...

Mighty curving snake courses
Monstrous volume Mississippi
Like great dark horses
That in the spring feels zippy
Whose frozen waters now like ornithopappi

Peace performs paradise
               Living loving never leaving
               Singing soothing speaking
               Happy hopeful harmony
               Collectives circumvent corruption
               Zealously zippy zesty...

Looked in the mirror and what did I see?
A pink knockout rose growing out of me.
You say, oh, my, how lovely that must be!
But it grew out of my nose, not my knee

Daily it attracted a zippy bumblebee.
So I trimmed it back to its tiny vee.
I guess it might be a little tiny she.
For it was called darling by masculine bee...

Enlightened i got when i entered your world
Like the Sun shinning on the board
Indeed i marvel at the sight of my lord
Zippy like the sound of the chord

All i seek is for us to be together
Better if the bond grows stronger
Enclosed in your love i can move higher

Thought of you will never elude my heart
Hold me dearly my precious Jewel...

Words are fun, they give me a kick
Vomit, pooh pooh, manure, ick!
Some bounce like a grasshopper’s pogo stick
Others are greasy, grimy, slimy, sticky, sick
Z words are rare, as are words that being with Q.
Name words make me enthusiastic, that’s what they do.
Zing, Zany, Zig, Zippy, Ziggy zag zoo, delight me so.
You can never go wrong with words any direction you go....

A perfect October day, but it’s a bit nippy
The sky is azure-blue, and the air is calm.
My spirits are up and I’m feeling quite zippy
A perfect October day, but it’s a bit nippy,
Like an early January day in old Mississippi
The kind of weather that’s a natural balm,
A perfect October day, but it’s a bit nippy
The sky is azure-blue, and the air is calm.

Recycling uses more energy,
Re-using and sharing makes humans more zippy
Without the need for a battery.

Recycling alone will not slow down the production line,
And will not close down even one mine,
Unless our politicians start to fine. 

Sharing and re-using need more zing,
Than a piece of string,
For a lower temperature to be the new thing.

The answer should be simple,
If addiction was not fed by some people,
Who worship at the wrong temple....
