Tony the Tiger

There was a tiger named Tony
his passion was for tasty macaroni ~
For some obscure reason, the powers that be
decided bowls of frosted flakes it would be

Tony Baloney

There once was a man named Tony
his stories were a bunch of baloney,
though he seemed quite sincere
yet a bit cavalier
because his stories changed every year.

Well funny as this may sound
Tony's friends all gathered round,
for his stories when told
were outrages and bold
quite funny was Tony's baloney!

Seijaku It's Time

Strumming along to a troubadour's lament
tears pool and flow while I press  
the strings playing out the notes
forcing myself as  
I struggle to forge forward
overcome with a sorrow beyond sorrows
and a grief with no relief
Through the rhythm of the music
my heart relaxes
the timing, the tempo 
measured with intimate design
the lyrics vibrate softly
streams of

A letter to Tony

Tony Abbot ex minister prime you came on the net
To spoke at length, to good friends of mine. Graham
And Jhonny ‘a real friendly talk’ about
How you as a part-time fiery walked some hot
Walk.  In 2018 when you helped 
And that’s all good..' Where so many did lose their lives
And Homes possessions as the blazes

Tony and His Calf

On a warm August day we sent Tony out to see his pet.
Found them snuggled up asleep. Loud snoring? Oh, you bet!
We left them there for a couple of hours enjoying the sight.
Two happy babies, enjoying the day, it felt so right.

Big Tony

Yet another funeral
Another old friend gone,
Not many of us left now
As time grinds on and on.
This was goodbye Big Tony 
Of the last five years of
My indisciplined wild life
Before I was rescued by
Marriage and a loving wife.
Days of weekend long parties
Starting Friday nights in the pub
With just snatched hours of sleep
Until a Monday morning cold

Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga

When Tony Bennett sang
With Lady Gaga, a duet,
The entertainment level
Was as cool as it could get.

The difference in their ages mattered
Not one little bit
Since their voices, both exquisite,
Did magnificently knit.

But best of all, their friendship 
And their mutual respect 
Had, on everyone who watched them,
A most powerful effect.

News of Tony Bennett’s passing
Means that golden sound

A Most Thoughtful Balladeer, Endeared: Mr Tony Bennet Tribute

"YES! THERE ARE MANY SINGERS WITH GREAT VOICES...
JUST THEIR MERE SOUND, ALONE, TELLS US THAT THEY CAN HOLD A NOTE AND CONFIDENTLY "CARRY A TUNE!"

BUT...

WHAT ABOUT A SINGER, WHOM WHEN THEY ENTER A ROOM, OPEN HIS* MOUTH TO TELL A STORY...
IN A WAY THAT STAYS AND LINGERS LONG IN YOUR SOUL..
"LIKE A SIMMERING!"

Old Songs

In the wee small hours of the morning, that's the time
you miss her most of all, I'd give her my last dime;
where do you go to my lovely when alone in your bed,
tell me thoghts that surround you, I can look inside your head.

The very thought of you and I forget to do, the very
ordinary

Tony the Tiger

Tony the tiger you are sassy and loud
You make us happy with Kellogg, completely proud
You dance your way into the hearts of children galore.
Making their mothers take them to the cereal store.

Tony the tiger, you have been around for some time.
You like taking dollars from people who used to buy with a dime.
You have been

Grandma Introduces Bacon To Tony

Tony was four when he stayed with grandma and grandpa.
He had never had bacon.
I started out with four pieces.
But he wanted more.
Was six too many?
Eight?
He ate the entire package.
Why did our daughter never give our grandson bacon?
Isn't that child abuse?
He gained twenty pounds in the week he was with us.

Beautiful San Francisco

Beautiful San Francisco


						In Northern California,
						By the Bay,
						There it is,
						That beautiful city,
						It’s the city Tony Bennett
						Sings of
						“I Left My Heart in San Francisco”
						Those lovely trolley cars,
						Make it so unique,
						Nob Hill, a street we all know,
						Fisherman’s Wharf, an interesting
						Array of shops,
						That famous Golden Gate Bridge,
						My Dad told us he sailed by it
						On his way to Korea,
						During the

Oh Tony

Tony said he was managing waste
When in fact, it was folk, he erased
He did see a shrink
But without a blink
He continued and hid them, untraced
