Shaken Not Stirred
Mister Milligan Funk
A Dad and a Deacon
Went on a massive drunk
Relatively speaking
He staggered to and fro
From bar to bar he went
But soon he had to go
With all his money spent
Talk about unlucky
As he was heading home
Passed out in Kentucky
But woke up drunk in Gnome

Stirred by Grace
Prayers spoken by faith
Sing hope to the stars and moon
Blessing away life’s sorrows
Stirring the sun to scatter its proof
That wherever abides this presence
Of the love He is….
There is a wisdom, a light, assurance
That love is alive within,
Love is the answer, the beauty
The rising truth, tugging at the news
A story of glowing joy, peace and promise
Wherever

When God His Pot Had Stirred
when God could create
was caught riding a fast freight
which had been of date
according to latest scope
God said in pool was much poop
which threw us for a loop
when all my duties are done
God let me have fun in the sun
until sun tan has been done
when God would made ocean wide
on a surfboard wave did ride
slipped

Shaken Or Stirred
Easier to run the risk of death
than ridicule damned
Easier to face an army of men
than a single man
Easier to write a thousand lines
than only one
Easier to quote the wisest sage
—than self become

Soup Creek Toasts
Soup Creek Toasts
Marmite cocktails are delicious I've heard
They are the hippest cocktails being served
So to raise a toast
Tell Jenna the host
Mayor Tom's sure to be shaken and stirred.

Shaken But Stirred
The last days and the bright sunshine setting
You can see the stars in fading sunlight.
When the sun fades, moonlight lever shining.
Not as mates, more as buddies we're waiting.
Not just cautious buddies or close friends sight.
The last days and the bright sunshine setting
Wildlife takes time and quaint is quieting.
Birds nest

Stirred Yogurt
My feelings a blend of the best berries,
But leaving me all alone to spoil,
Just means it’s your own fault
For making me the most sour I can be.
My mind a source of essential nutrients,
But leaving me all alone in the ark,
Just means you’ll have lost someone
Who once nurtured you better than others.

My Soul Is Stirred
I read Your Word
my soul is stirred
Father God, I present this plea
how can mere words have such impact?
The light comes on and that’s a fact
which puts men’s thoughts to inquiry.
How can mere words have such impact?
You formed the world with “Let there be…”
Christ spoke to winds and calmed the sea
The light comes on and that’s

Awaken Not Stirred
unfathomable
all contact lost
beyond reach of umami
petulance 'tis impenetrable
sonar blips blubbed, unopened as dead mail
pings re-echoed dispelled, quashed
peripheral smiles cast-off in scows
shipwrecked eyes lashed with umbilical sighs
all at sea, adrift hand-paddling
willy nilly circling in coracle cradle corral
round and round the driftwood dry-rot
spins in whirlpool hole, nebula black
awaken not stirred the cast-away
alights from sleep alone,

Words Stirred- Bt
We heard a song
Two hearts, stirred words
It was a bird.

Stirred Silence
sounds stirred from your whisper
a flickering glimmer in your eyes
wistful the blush of your smile
desperate for any trace of you
