ROAST TO THE TOASTER
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
toaster, warmth you bring,
golden crusts greet morning light,
sunrise in my hand.
slots are welcoming
embrace bread with gentleness,
toasting it with ease.
each slice meets your heat,
a transformation occurs,
soft to crisp delight..
you're more than a tool,
symbol of comfort, routine,
part of daily life.
here's to you, toaster.
may your coils always glow bright,
filled with a slice white.

Tingly skies full of surprise oh how I love when with surmise
the little rascal aims his dart as if it were, poetic art !
Cupid found me and turned me into mush
when he walks by I suddenly begin to blush !
Cupid has my number and when he rings my bell
I feel all sugar coated, dipped in love's pell-mell
Cupid God of desire sets his darts on fire
toasting hearts and filling them with great desire
Cupid loves to match us heart to heart
fitting us together we will never part
Cupid isn't stupid in fact he's very smart
he loves people and calls everyone, "sweetheart"
Cupid knows his arrows are extra-extra hot
so when it comes to love he always hits the spot.
When cupid's arrow aims for you, there isn't much that you can do !

I think a lot in my head
I wish I could just go to bed
Blinded by thoughts and emotions
The seas of thunder and errosion
The crickets seep into the ears
Blinded by the emotional tears
My brain is exhausted and toasting
My head spinning like it’s roasting
These thoughts I can’t stop
Accelerating to the very top
My patience for this is wearing thin
I itch and peal my skin
I want to get out of this horrid body
Dragged through despair becoming knotty
Though I hate living in this flesh
I also hate my intrusive mesh
Drowning in my own Delusion
Nothing can keep up my illusion
The smiles are all fake
At any moment I might break

the crowd you hang with
is ‘sophisticated’
everyone sporting
new duds
new cars
new women in bars
my make-do threads
barely seem decent
you said I had to change
as I don’t fit in
your friends toasting
the roasting
of competitors
I bore you with
my interests
my needs
my walks in parks
paths for self-doubt
you said I had to change
as I don’t fit in
you said I had to change
my thoughts
my ways
if I wanted to win
in the relationship
to impress, dazzle
people I didn’t know
or wanted to know
you said I had to change
'cause I don’t belong
yes, I have changed
a new dawn
a new dream
I no longer need you
to validate me
I now fit in
with myself
you said
I had to change
be as it may
I hate to burst
your lone
fragile bubble
but now
YOU don’t fit in
as I have changed

Gold per ounce the weight of
the trophy
Sake denounced the intent of
The Songbird
Might love pronounce me in
announcement
Closer than my goals
to achievement
Inspiration inspire
to such elevations
To make envy those
who opposed me
Inspiration quiet my foes
Into shame
Might they stand in such
Awe of me
Inspiration make my way
Clear, unopposed I might
Sooth my way clear
Might I stand to thank
thee
Inspiration make me
Worship thee
The story
He seemed to gain, that he would spend in such for quality
Paired, both with the same purpose. Such inclusion to create
the greatest entity. The sounds of harmonic voices. Soothing
Melonic tones. Orchestrated perfections. Lyrics of collaborated tones!
Temperer de Adagio
Sweet bassy Grooves.
Platinum Panties
On the right song
Like a good woman
Something Really Special!
Toasting perfection a smooth
Coupled togetherness
Horns and strings and all sorts
Of Polite and Courteous thangs!
When the wood wins!

Whether whiskey or water
What should it matter
The point is we oughta
be toasting each other
Though the East is a Beast
and the West is unblessed …
May we this year refrain
from inflicting such pain
Turn to gentler pursuits
find for war substitutes

Camping is fun
With dad and with mum
Collecting wood for the fire and toasting marshmallows, yum!
I raced with my dad and cheering was mum
Running the fastest, I ever have run
Winning first place I'm so happy, and shout out that I won!
Hello moon, goodbye sun
Stars fill the sky and daylight is done
It's the last night of our trip, it has been my favourite one
Camping is fun
I love spending time here
I love my dad and my mum

All my dreams of you are sweet
When missing you I press repeat
And once again we're in the park
Or sharing kisses in the dark
Silhouettes cast in moonlight
Love and passion, out of sight
Or on the beach taking a swim
Down in the Caribbean
Or holding hands out for a walk
While toasting Paris as we talk
Or playing music up on stage
Adoring fans fully engaged
I dream about you night and day
Asleep, awake, in every way
Most are vivid, some are not
Either way they hit the spot
The place I have inside my heart
That longs for you when we're apart

Longing for the mountains
Captured by the sea
Pining for the lover
That's waiting for me
There's sunshine on the rise
Beyond the last storm
Whisky's in the bottle
Bedrooms have been warmed
Saturday's for freedom
Friday's in repair
Families have moved on
To the county fair
There be hot dogs and coke
Cotton candy too
At the end of the day
Fireworks fade from view
Summer's soon for ending
Nature's change is swift
People start making moves
As the landscapes shift
Some go for holidays
Some go to escape
Most put it down to luck
Others claim it's fate
Mountains last for ages
Seas end at the shore
Time is of the essence
Which we can't ignore
We are just passing through
Like those river bends
I will have a whisky
Toasting long gone friends

Memories
I remember the coal fire
Crackling and flickering
Toasting bread as well as feet
I remember the steam Train
Huffing and puffing
Steam and smoke engulfing us all
I remember music, the Mersey beat
Beatles and The yellow submarine
Hipsters and Bell-bottoms
I remember it all
Memories of Music
Memories of fun
Memories of Life now long gone

Woodsman on a prowl
Sneaking around like an owl
Noticing innocents getting a fright
Watchman you are a good knight
Defending partiers in a plight
Battling a monster in a murderous fight
Erich you guarded them all
Despite the rainfall
Where thunder clapped
Lightning snapped
Spotlighting your heroic stage
Heralded by the girls maturing in age
Until your deadly scripted page
As we reflect surrounded by campfire mist
Who should be on the angelic list
Mr. Anderson may not have received Brad Clooney fame
But we knew your look maybe not name
Reminded the rat was Ben
While the chopping mall no longer needed Ken
RIP mechanical hiking buddy
Protecting those from evil not really funny
Make it sunny
Heavens will be brighter
Since you are now a soulful fighter
We all down here
Are in it for the scream and cheer

mountains tumble
across the horizon
twisting the last splinters
of warmth
through heavy hanging
gray soup
listless lifeless
endless sigh
dogs roll over
mown grass
clinking ice
gentle laughter
fluttering chimes
cool breeze
sweet pungent earth
enlivens lungs
ocean cracks
spills sheets
steams stainless barbeque
sizzles fire pit
douses tiki torches
lettuce, tomatoes, chips
condiments
march back inside
under the eaves
gulping rare air
until it freezes
behind the window
white pellets pelt
big red umbrella
guarding the feast
burgers melting cheese
buns toasting
in formation
lining the grate
storm sweeps over
collective gasp
tables towel off
wet dogs play
music marries
dinner mirth
dancing flames
lick black velvet
Friday swells
into sleep-in Saturday
while weaver weaves
another day
