Well tickle me bum and call me Lucy
Got really great news pay attention it's juicy
Seems to lose weight
All you need do is wait
Eventually you'll be skeleton thin quite spooky<>

lions in the forest
are roaring loudly
tortoises look at
skelton of lions generationally.

a procession
shadowed ravens watch
depressive day turns
the winds bring Frost
Skelton branches clutch
Ghosts dance after the fall
The procession crawls
To the point of vanishing
Oblong boxes of onyx inlaid
Crimson glowing deep within
Secret Furies fly in frightening
Nightmares flank the regal divinities
WRAITHs of mourners drift
White wispy lost memory
Cast in time back to the precipice
The dark procession reflecting
In Raven's soulless eyes
Spin under a clouded sky
The color of the dead
Mourn the passing of gods
Humanity dips into the Misty void
Full of creation loss
Deep secrets live buried
Within oblong boxes
Of Ebony and Crimson
As amber burn
Ravens clutch skeletal branches
Their black eyes witness
The serpents procession
Under these lead-gray skies
The cumulus just holding his breath
waiting to break has nightmares
as their vanities pass by...

Do you recall the song "Send In The Clowns" by Sinatra?
I reckon folks even heard it who reside in faraway Sumatra.
Long gone is famed Emmett Kelly who portrayed "Weary Willie",
And the great Red Skelton whose hilarious skits were so silly!
Alas, their likes will never be seen again in spacious circus tents,
Since movies and television have supplanted such events.
But hold on! There is still a horde of clowns who entertain us!
The Congressional Clowns (many of whom are superfluous)!

Sammy Skelton, a sorry bag of bones
Tried to keep up with Johnny 'Crossbone' Jones
He practiced grim groans
Produced awful moans
Yet never did improve his muscle tone

Tick Tock
Oh the thirst and desire to be young
the longing and lust of a passion gone
my skelton structure so thin and stiff
I know now death will not be long
Tick Tock
Hold my hands, caress my face
look into my eyes and see God's loving grace
His pendlum never ages and always sways without time
as I bend to my knees I can hear the lonely chime
Tick Tock
Don't lay me down because I'm aging and old
but lift me up to Rainbows I could once leap of yellow and gold
never worrying about the pendlum
it's chimes were always so sweet and long
Tick Tock
The night has come
The chimes have sung
by twight light I will be gone
Tick Tock

Invented by Robin Skelton (1925-1997)
Canadian Author and Poet
'Tis of Thee Canada
For my country, proudly I wave the flag,
surround by great oceans north, east and west;
lucky to be born in Canada- blessed,
have lots of things famous for that we brag.
Like the awesome Mounties in their red dressed,
for my country, proudly I wave the flag;
of green wilderness on and on we drag,
oh, with eh and sorry- I am obsessed.
And sweet maple trees, maple leaves and moose,
come fishing here and put fish in your bag;
for my country, proudly I wave the flag;
sorry for Canada Geese flying loose.
Of our diversity I will brag,
eh, love poutine- and the changing seasons;
ice, snow, beaver, hockey, beer more reasons,
for my country, proudly I wave the flag.

Lost my oar
#kashurqalam
In the middle of Wular, lost rudder
Ripple of love forcibly dragged me down,
The skilled plank heavy swimmed across the lake
Like a corpse without core above the Blue.
Who took rudder riding on horses two?
Leaving this mundane mass at the mercy
Of half dream, to wonder in 'ether' high,
Where every vessel draws on by the wind
Tied on finger tip of prophet Noah.
Wave , melodious whirlpool submerged me
In my own flood, I lost my ark handmade
But Wular a drop reduced like being
Till a song sweet amidst thousand notes sang
The song , so much pure, the rudder appeared
But with a golden hand and airth arms long.
Skelton of hundred two and seven bones
Has from my birth , before a source serene
Met my source but only after losing,
How great is loss! How vital is to lose ,
Losing is to board , leads to the Ganges
Where sin sinks silently, emerges a saint
Leading the race to bay without rudder.

~He Knows ~
(The Catena Rondo)
God knows all our present past and future
He created us with a great plan in mind
He wants us saved and love in heart to find
God knows all our present past and future
He created us with a great plan in mind
God knows what's in store for you and me
He knows men' hearts and wants us free
He created us with a great plan in mind
God knows what's in store for you and me
And knows what's in our minds and hearts
He loves us all right from the very start
God knows what's in store for you and me
He knows everything out there for anyone to know
God knows all our present past and future
This is a fact according to the Good Book for sure
He knows everything out there for anyone to know
God knows all our present past and future
He created us with a great plan in mind
He wants us saved and love in heart to find
God knows all our present past and future.
