Al had dated many women from France, Spain, England and such.
you have never dated an Irish lassie though? Asked his brother Dutch.
not yet, he admitted, are they different than the ones I have squired?
Dutch said, ”You would have your hands full, now until you get retired.”
Colleen was an Irish beauty, with ginger hair and a verdant eye stare.
Al tried to look away, but the idea of dating her was more than a dare.
Colleen laughed when he approached, acted like he was a Boston dope.
he was soon spending all his hours washing himself with zesty soap.
he wanted to impress Colleen; she was the best he had ever seen.
she had her brothers look him over, Al to them was not quite keen.
this cinched the deal, and the young couple ran to tie the knot.
with a five-year-old, a four-year-old, a two-year-old; they are still very hot!

She relaxed into the hourglass of her mind
Safely hidden from those who would hate her
Not for what she had done
Or for who she was
But simply for her ethnicity
Or her skin color
Or her blonde hair
Or because she belonged to that family….
She relaxed into her imaginary world
Safely squired away into herself,
Enjoying peace of mind
Silence of heart
Bliss of doing only what she wanted
Unencumbered by friends
Who would want something
Want to take her time
Stealing her energy
Stealing her power
She relaxed into her soul
Enjoying her freedom
Freedom to spend her days
Doing what she wanted
Exactly when she wanted to do it
Without being bogged down by those
Who would try to take her happiness away
Through selfish pursuits of their own.

Wind careless whisper, leads me to peer
To run... view: a play of cosmos dance
Feet - glued on this one enchanting trance
Momentum of crescendo
Filling me with all tempo
Awesome divertimento
On ocean blue, dolphins leap and hop
School of fish swims to form a line dance
Jellies jig and wave in modern pop
Gentle breeze sways leaves of trees
Lush leaves swing on teeming green
Bearing fruits of finest genes
Butterflies tango to petals bulbs
Bees waltz sucking nectarine from buds
Blossoms jazz bloomed on big pinky reds
Deer leads the flamenco band
Squired by birds tweeting on land
Mused fireflies mambo so grand
Fluffy clouds in cha-cha during day
Sunshine smiles in frug of golden rays
Bossa Nova rolls a soothing play
One-step day ends, night jives win
Moon and stars folk dance veils shin
Classic world in riant grin
