DAYS OF OLD 30's

We had;
Interlude and
of Mice and men.
   A star is born and
Gone with the wind.

   A child bride and
The Wizard of Oz.
   Cocaine Fiends and
Sweeney Todd.

   The Jaguar and
The gay divorcee.
   The Marx brothers
And the Maserati.

   79 Park Ave and
Mannequin.
   The Porsche and
Erroll Flynn.

   The Rolls Royce and
Curly top.
   John Wayne and
King Porter stomp.

   The Packard and
Hilo Hawaii.
   Gary Cooper and
The Bugatti.

   Frankenstein and 
The Alfa Romeo
   The Fiat and 
Abbott and Costello.

   The BMW and
Eternal call.
   The Lone Ranger and
All creatures great
 and small.

   The Bentley and
Agent Carter.
   The Green hornet 
And Days of Honor.

   An Indian summer
And The Duesenberg.
   Greta Garbo and
The Thorn Birds.

Sweeney Todd

Sing a song a sixpence,a pocket full of rhy,4 and 20 victims,made into a pie,when the pie was opened the guts began to spill,wasn’t that a tasty dish,it gave me such a thrill!

A theatre legend - Mr Stephen Sondheim
an icon of Broadway, ahead of his time
smart lyrics, lush music, bold rhythms and rhyme
the curtain has fallen on a writer sublime.

// Stephen Sondheim wrote lyrics and/or music to West Side Story, Gypsy, Sweeney Todd, Into the Woods, Company, Follies, and many more musicals //

Sweeney

the barber’s fall,
a curtain call,
he snips and twirls
creating curls;
that close shave,
may be grave.

Limerick Ii Barber Sweeney

A barber called Sweeney and Mrs Lovett
Both catch human heads inside her bucket
Cooking human head pies 
With blood and eyeball fries
Each bite so tough that folks need to suck it

Lovetts life ends when Sweeney shoves her in
Grasping her hair she swigs her final gin 
Heating her precisely  
In bisque hot and spicy
Juice as he eats seeps over Sweeney’s chin

Premium MemberLove Forever

These words describe, my love for you 
Our hearts only know that it’s true
I just wrote a few romantic lines and a couple rhymes
Describing to you that I’m delighted that you’re mines
That may sound a little cliché 
I think about you every day
You’re my desires, my cravings, and my dreams 
Do you know how much you amaze me?
Baby you’re the best part of me
I am there wherever you are 
My love, my dear, how have we come this far? 
I asked God for an angel and he gave me you 
No matter what you say, or think……it’s true 
My love for you is unconditional 
Has anyone told you that you’re unbelievable?
Love is merely two imperfect people joining together
There is a thing called forever 

“The Cycle of True Love: First I see and think I love, then I say I know I love, today and forever more I decide to love.”

A New Refreshing Begining

i cant believe it!
i have come to life!
inspired once again i relive a past most splendid
taking back my pride i pick up my quill once more
and i jot down a few lines
lines i will cherish
lines i will hold dear
because it is as if my lifeblood was restored
like an electric shock
i am alive at last,
as sweeney todd said

AND IM FULL OF JOY!!!!

a life i wished to live has been returned instead of revoked
the sweet nectar of words flow
from a fruit i call my fingers 
i am alive again

thank you suki
