Popeye and Olive’s Spinach Spree

I’m Popeye the Sailor Man
I gulp spinach straight from the can
I yam what I yam, and that’s all that I am—
I’m Popeye the Sailor Man!
I’m strong to the finish,
’cause I gulp down my spinach,
I’m Popeye the Sailor Man!

Now Olive Oyl, she made a vow—
“No spinach for me, not ever, not now!”
But she’ll kiss me tonight,
’cause she knows I can fight,
And just what a green slurp, can do
when it's downed in one big chew.

Old Bluto came a'stormin’ by,
With trouble flaring deep in his eye—
He’s such a nasty badass brute,
He tried to snatch Olive and scoot,
But I sent him high and flying,
spinning, yelling and crying!
There’s no denying the might in a man
who can pop open spinach in a can.  

I'm Popeye the Sailor man
I eats spinach straight from a can
I’m strong to the finich,
’cause I eats me spinach,
Getting cheers from the crowd,
When I fighting screaming out loud
I’m Popeye the Sailor Man! 
I’m Popeye the Sailor Man!

Chicks and Ducks in Splashing Spree

Bursting, breaking free from egg shells with glee
Baby chicks welcome their blest endowed worth
Amidst mother Earth’s radiating mirth
Ready to frolic in the pond --- there they flee.

Cheerful in their sunny color delight
Ducklings quack, inviting attention gain
While they wobble gladly, devoid of strain
Traversing terrain midst their dancing flight.

As water fowls of playful swimming zest
Ducks and chicks showcase aquatic tactic
Boasting splash-technique, indeed fantastic
Designed by God* with His creative best.

*Genesis 1:20 And God said, Let the waters bring forth abundantly the moving creature that hath life, and fowl that may fly above the earth in the open firmament of heaven.

crime spree duo

The duo runs from the law and evades the police
Their wild crime spree did not slow or cease
Bank robberies gave them half million each
Their next target is jewelry store at Redondo Beach

Local Party Spree

Got party spree
From a local resort inn
Cool place to stay.

Shopping Spree

This old madam bought a big Christmas tree,
size could be problem she did not foresee.
         Low level door frame it hit,
         on dewed lawn she let it sit.
She dodged mind’s radar while on shopping spree.

Tea Crime Spree

Tea came percolating from the pot
Burglarizing the neighborhood clans            
Moms held their babies in their arms
Above their heads for fear of caffeine

The fiend held everyone hostage
At gun point it seems without a doubt
Leaving the young to their own devices
To run or drink coffee as they will

No one questioned the authority of tea
Though it has no arms or feet
Or mind to speak of so to speak
  
A crime scene most fowl came about
Screamed out in the form of steam
Boiling over in the pot most odious 
Whistling obscenities loud at the police

Tea’s particular proclivity towards crowds
In particular those who identify as single
Struck fear in the community at large
As tea has no time for any people
As you can see, tea don’t think

A Kindness Spree

I'm going on a Kindness Spree
    Good deeds galore for all to see

  From crack of dawn to setting sun
    Good cheer and hugs for everyone  

  The cost of all this fun? ~ It's free
    Please come along, join in with me

Cumbercot Family Mushroom Spree

Mama gnome was pleased with her family, the Cumbercots.
They did a fine job of washing the red mushrooms with dots
Can we please bring some home in the wheelbarrow? Asked Pat.
She was not sure what to say. “Sure,” said her boyfriend Matt.

So the Cumbercots left the field with three mushrooms so fine.
Can I keep them? Asked Pat. Please say they are mine.”
He planted them in their field, and they grew lots of sprouts.
A mushroom city sprang up, where excited kids came with shouts.

Hooray for the Cumbercots, the parents of the kids said.
Hooray for the dotted mushrooms, such a pretty color of red!
Boyfriend Matt surprised her and got down on one knee.
They decided to get married near the mushroom oak tree.

Christmas Shopping Spree

This old lady bought a big Christmas tree
Size could be a problem she didn’t foresee
In the room she couldn’t take it
On the lawn she let it sit
She was out of mind while on shopping spree.

Shopping Spree

money spent foolishly
on material items
a waste of hard work

Mom, Dad, and the Kids On a Shopping Spree

When the kids are in the shopping cart
  They never stop once they start
Mommy, Daddy, I want these cookies
This candy, this cereal, this pizza, this --
  They're pros at it, they never were rookies 

When Dad goes shopping, if he's alone
  He revels in his 'Comfort Zone'
I'll get this for my breakfast, this for my lunch
This for my dinner, and lotsa snacks, a whole bunch...

But when Mom goes shopping all by herself
Her only thought as she passes each shelf
  Is what my husband likes, and how 'bout the kids
  ~ Never once considers her own needs, God forbid

On a Playful Spree

I was maybe two or, possibly, three
When I tossed our cat into the deep well
As a toddler, I was on a playful spree.

I am certain everyone would now agree
My reasoning, it would be hard to tell,
I was maybe two or, possibly, three.

I was much too young, as anyone can see,
To think it anything other than swell
As a toddler, I was on a playful spree.

And I suppose I enjoyed a certain glee,
Before my mother snapped the spell
I was maybe two or, possibly, three.

As the story goes, I was just being me
And I did not seem to notice the smell,
As a toddler, I was on a playful spree.

A thinking lad would set the kitten free
Not drop it into the drinking water well,
I was maybe two or, possibly, three
As a toddler, I was on a playful spree.

Sublime Virtual Spree

“Where there is no vision, the people perish: but he that keepeth the law, happy is he.”  Proverbs 29:18 of the King James Bible

Wrapped around my virtual mindfulness spree
I behold our special child basking in freedom
beyond dreamlike fantasy, verily ecstatic
zooming around park, designed for surreal venture.

Never unreal midst my faith-brightened vision
our son radiates exuberance against hazy ambiance
as he recites Bible verses, fortified with distinct gestures
only imaginary in skeptic unbelieving minds.

Outshining shadowy doubts, our young man prevails
sharing the Gospel, enunciating the love of God…
thus I delightfully see in seemingly trancelike enthrallment
while praying for miraculous occurrence, very possible.

Whether those are ethereal or celestial moments
To me, they are heavenly sublime wondrous merriments.
