"Take it to the limit" as i
Have a "peaceful easy feeling"
I will be Already gone"
When I leave your "Lyin eyes"
Drinking a " Tequilla Sunrise"
"After the Thrill is gone"
Then "Take it Easy"
Sending the "Best of my Love"
While I still Live "Life in the Fast Lane".
A Tribute to The Eagles.

The Corona Blues (Revisited)
So sick of being stuck at home
Just want to get out and roam
Can go nowhere without a mask
Can’t do my weekly tasks
I got the lowdown Corona blues
Get high all-day
It’s the only way
I can deal with the stress
Of all this mess
I got the lowdown Corona Blues....
Some say it's overblown
That really makes me moan
That statement is so untrue
Follow the rules on what to do
I got the lowdown Corona Blue.
Seems now people don’t listen
As this virus mutates and glistens
Some ignore the fact it exists
Do the wrong thing and take risks
Yeah, I got the lowdown Corona (Covid-19) Blues
Just a little humor to lighten people's moods a little

smooches, hugs waiting for you

take-out food, fun, baseball game

And so you died; that's no great deed, my friend.
It's something every living thing must do;
And though you sometimes chose to court that end,
Death chose the time and place to marry you.
"Unfinished!" was the cry from us who heard
How early and untimely ending came--
How songs unsung and promises deferred
Went past revision, dumb to praise or blame.
So then you died and cannot speak to me
Of how our last experience played out;
But I can hope your hope has set you free
For places past the harms of fear and doubt.
You left, but left me lessons yet to learn
And took a part of me you can't return.

Birthday Funk
Little ones can’t wait to mark the passage of time,
Presents and cake, everyone making a fuss.
Young folks use this time to push out their chests
And say,” look at me”; I’m responsible, I can vote!”
But pass a certain mark and the gifts you get
consist mostly of slippers you can warm in the microwave,
Or Barry Manalow CDs….and maybe some thoughtfully sweet diabetic candy..
Because” You look like you’ve been putting on some wt.” .Ha!
Last week I heard”Let me help you with that sack of flour”,(5 friggin #’s)
Or “ you know there is a senior citizen discount offered today.”
You become terrorized by your mirror and
Spend a lot of your time squinting at fine print,
You have to guess at the menu because
Once again you’ve forgotten your reading glasses...
And will NOT, even consider borrowing his…
Even for a slightly better blur.
But, realistically I know there are compensations for getting older,
Lets see, hmmm, I’ve forgotten what they are. They’ll
Come to me. When they do I’m going to write them down.
Seen my pen?.

I do not know where you came
A bright day...
Jewels where they lay
Such things are free
Emeralds and rubies
Dreams
Blue seas
I still miss you
I am not alone
Shadows too
Whispered moan
Emeralds and stars
Rubies and log fires
If you were here too...
Such desires
Soft light,
to fall...
Jewels of fire
You...
Wt all
Precious things,
for me
Memories
Emeralds and rubies
Fiery light to see
Fiery light to be
