I dreamt of a Lassie;
she had a firm Chassis.
Her name was Randy
woke up with a Standee
Don't tell my wife Tandy
She'll know I drank Shandy
and just reprimand Me.
Well, it's over with Tandy
our divorce was going Badly,
so, I gave her a big Shanty
it made us both Happy.
Have a date with Shandy
She's my Lemon Candy.
How in the hell did I get that Standee?

Tangerine lips and sunlit hair
framed her hazel eyes.
Goddess, without knowing.
Alabaster skin, unassuming, innocent,
She had no idea how gorgeous she was.
The entire package.
Tandy, not a girl next door today, but an angel next door.
They had grown up together, and he had never
seen her this way
until he did..... a few seconds ago.
For the first time Jim realized how beautiful she was.
He knew that he would forever see her this way now.
Tangerine lips and sunlit hair.
Hazel eyes, honest and true.
He was determined to make her his woman now.
Tandy saw Jim, waved and laughed, having no
idea what her beautiful angel side was doing to him today.
He waved back, trying to act casual as his heart was
beating out of his chest with unexpected love and desire.

Poem Will Write
Saw Driving Miss Daisy and poem will write
Which had been playing on a Friday night
When there was nothing else left to do
So took wonderful wife who I love true.
Valentine's Day was one it had been
And the traffic outside was very thin
For Brunswick County and I swear
It's like living in the middle of no where.
They were no Tandy or even a Freeman
But still would go back and see it again
Their all had been given by each one;
People applauded after play was done.
I'm glad Brunswick County has a place
Where you can see a familiar smiling face
Now make a supermarket at 17 and 211
And a lot of us will be in perfect heaven.
