Sisterly Love
I have a little china clown, he sits upon a shelf.
I got it from my sister, she bought it for herself.
But she never really loved it. That was plain to see.
So she stuffed it in a paper bag and dumped the thing on me.

Watching You Without Me
Once upon a time
You were here with me
We were two of us
We were side by side
Wished upon a star
I will ask God
To hold you tight,
Give you a kiss
for me, at night
Reflections
Your spirit
I can see,
you my

This Troubled Road
Oh! My brother
I’ll walk with you on this troubled road
yet hear the news with agitation

nor will we fold
The path is long
and dusty smotes will suck
all love and care from your breast
but we’ll be firm and standing strong
we will smite the silent foe
Then gently
as a flame

Locked her in the bathroom and turned off the light,
I secretly hoped that she would get better:

With the skies clear and bright,
Peace rides upon the wind.
What do you miss, dear ocean?
Is it the kiss of the silvery night queen
upon the cheek of your waves?
Why do you roar,
It's only a

I was thinking of my sister she had a blue and a green
eye I adored her when a child I followed her around
“Bormann” she called me and since I was not socially
adept she promised to look after me when old.
She has been dead for forty years
All the women it was

Sisterly Examples
When I was young, I had a great disdain
for Campell's nasty soup named Alphabet.
One Saturday it was our mother's threat
we had to eat it up or home remain
and miss the matinee. How inhumane!
Mom left the room; I never will forget
the thing which I'd repeat without regret -
I took that slop and tossed it down the
