Rednecks and Roundabouts

Rednecks and roundabouts, they don't mix.
Don't try and fool us with your media tricks.
We drive around the back roads throwing bottles at signs.
Your roundabouts make us slow down or the ladies spill their wine

The Oak Tree

The Oak Tree

The master of forests
gives the shade we desire.
The mighty oak towers 
over the trilliums flowers.

Acorns deliver,
lands precious devour,
for blue jays and squirrels
and all plants and soils.

Broad leaves transpire
earths cycles untired.
Suns shade and shadows made
from edges of towers.

Through stoves it warms,
on cold days,
the small cold feet of children
after hours of smiles.

Winter Sonet

Fall has passed and cold snow has lost its charm
Yet we will not write a sad winter song
So lets rig the sleigh and visit the farm
Down the dirt road where children sing along
with snow angels spread out across the lawn 
and drink flows free with stories told till dawn.

White flakes from skies hide the tears in ones eyes
Falling for family members lost too soon
Finding packages to give kids surprise
And pretend to be the man in maroon
Makes us look forward to time in a room
With what we have to be in good fortune 

Days getting longer by minutes create 
Occasional thaws keeps the hopes alive
That the Spring we are promised wont be late
And the honey will last for all the hive
We must hurry to get in one last slide
And the ski boots from grandma must be tried 

fun times of winter us lets celebrate
Before summer days need alleviate
