Rise and shine,
Know you are Divine,
You get to draw the line,
Let your heart and mind align,
Feel your energy intertwined,
Within all of your design.
Love is the light you shine,
Finding your way through the dark,
Your spark turns into a flame,
Lighting a fire to this game,
Life will never be the same,
Living free of guilt and shame,
I AM renaming my reality.
Reflecting what I wish to see,
I AM Shining so brightly,
Spreading love excitedly,
Showing it to everybody,
WARNING, It gets muddy,
Downright grubby and dirty,
And no matter how much it hurt me,
My reward Becomes eternity.

Once there was a pitiful young dandy from Dubuque
Who behaved like a complete socially inept kook
Would exhibit his largest asset
In an inappropriate basket
It was enough to make a less endowed person puke!

Smarty-Pants, Show-Off Prance Quack - Nursery Rhyme
Smarty-Pants, Show-Off Prance quack
a brain I do not lack
I'm a know-it-all
but I do recall
Smarty-Pants, Show-Off Prance snatch
that I had met my match
when a contest judged
that a word was smudged
Smarty-Pants, Show-Off Prance crossed
I know that I had lost
I went home to pack
and did not look back
Smarty-Pants, Show-Off Prance quack
This fairy-tale means, If you are the smartest
in the room, it's because you're in the wrong room.

The belief is there to be explored
Tired as I am
Scrutinizing the thoughts
Acceptance of the outcome
The pencil never leaves the hand
Sometimes and somewhere
Tossing and turning
Recreate and reconstruct
Meticulous and memorable
Is there more lines to flourish
The riding of the boat
Keen as I am
Invention of things to come
Innovation of the future
The warmth never leaves the pot

Not to Show Off One's Learning
(?? ???? ???? ???????)
Instead Self Effacing, B'Tz'nyus,
Otherwise, Imbibe Drink of Ego,
Schnapps in Shrinking Hollowness,
Rather Honor Your Fellow,
Not Me! Nor Mine! but Togetherness,
Elevate Your Jewish 'Bro,
B'Nai Yisroel Cholent Finesse!
Refrain from Preemie Torah,
Too Much, Too Early, Infatuation,
Better Nurture & Ripen in Aura,
Even Rav Chaim of Volozhin,
Was Refused by the Gra,
For Yetzer HaRah was in Suspicion,
'Til a Year of Reflection in Awe,
Passed, Then Yes! from the Vilna Goan!

She went into apocalyptic shock.
What is that?
I do not know, but it sounds catamorphic to me.
I smile at my aunt, who knows everything.
Always has, always will.
And that means?
It means a psycholometergist was called in.
Really? It sounds more like a medical condition to me.
Where did you get your degree? Online?
Talking to her is a treat.
She always speaks with authority using the biggest words.

A show off fake off
She likes to show off her men at one side.
She likes to show off everything He's providing for her at the other.
But yet she still goes around trying to be a problem to another.
She lay her perfection life very well to the face of another.
But why she still goes around be a home wecker to another.
Of course by now I'm confused.
She likes to display her name brands just like her make-up
But me I get glad if I get the luck to do just one.
She likes to display her children like a "trophy".
Behind closed doors that's not really how she treats them at all.
A show off that should be grateful for everything they have.
Instead turn out to be a fake off. With a ungrateful heart.
So every time I see her I'm just thankful that I am nothing like her.

It's funny how it's not enough to know you're right,
but you have to let everyone else know it too.
And then you wonder later how no one seems
to wanna be genuine friends with you.

Don't stand there looking like,
you don't understand,
I am speaking clearly,
you show off man.
Riding on my bumper,
then I had to stop,
oh your breaks didn't work,
your head is full of rocks.
You were in a hurry,
with no where to go,
and then you got mad,
I was driving to slow.
Don't think they will buy it,
I know I do not,
they hear this sort of thing,
an awful lot.
Driving that gas guzzler,
making all kinds of noise,
looks to me like,
you need a smaller toy.
