Dear Abby

Girl, where you been
relaxing to a tune

Girl what you doing tonight
Doing my toes tonight

Girl that's a plan way ahead of schedule
what time tonight

Doing what is right
absent in thought
really want to get out tonight
don't feel the thrill

Girl what you putting on
The best you ever had

Don't put me down
Just open your wings and fly

Peg

DREAM BIG, NEXT TIME, DREAM BIGGER.
CAPITAL BITTER HILL GURU BEAST.
CAMILLE IS NOW A STATE OF MIND.

MEG, PEG, SLAY IT'S A DIFFERENCE.
DON'T PUNISH THE PRISIONERS, AND
OUR ART OF WAR, POLITICAL PRIZZI'S HONOR.

NEXT TIME PEG HAVE A LEG HERO.
DESPICABLE US, DOUBLE DARE, SECOND
CHANCE AT LIFE.  STAY WITH THE ANN LIVELY,
MINORITY REPORT.  

SUNG SHI GU FU.
PEG'S NAME ON A MEDALLION.
MATTER STAYED BLACK.
PEGASUS LIVES ON, WHAT OUR DREAMS HAVE COME TRUE.
BE MINDFUL AND THOUGHTFUL WITH WORDS PEG.
NEEDLING OF THE RICHTER SCALE, BALANCING THE THREAD.
EQUILIBRIUMS ADJUSTED INTO FALLEN TEETH.
PEG MISS PEARLIE CROWNED WITH GOLD.  

ENTANGLING THE WAY THE ROOT GROWS.

Blackbird

Black magic woman.  Wetback seal out on a limb.  Custody battle worse than the raven itself.  Bye Bye blackbird to Beethoven's symphony.  Send a raven blackbird.  In the night after dark in the evening at midnight after hours.  Right for the midnight blackbird.  All company ain't good company blackbird.  Study your root and dance for me blackbird.  Nefertiti head goddess now tell the truth blackbird.  Star of Bethlehem once again written in the stars.  Black don't crack beautiful voluptuous blackbird corset quartet.

The Nutcracker

Too big to Crack this nut.
Too big to Crack a nut.

But leave it up to imagination.
Cosmo Star Beings and superstition.
Producing a morning prayer rumpelstiltskin.
Nut Cracked Her and sometimes you feel like 
a nut, sometimes you don't.

Old rotten owl rumpelstiltskin.
Odd and rotten in the days of the nutcracker.

Scarecrow

Beethoveen boppying to the beat of a rhythmic flow.
Classified as most wanted.
Hop scotch jump ropping pro.
Treasure in it's cat.

People in it's horizon horizontally.
Pope's prediction was right.
For now go on
To pawn them good goodies.
Fragile are they.
Not at all gay.
Being who you thought I was connecting them dots ha.
Theodore theatre pinnacle.
Together again as one.

Renaissance


Metro Cardigan
with a slim fit.

Be in your thinking mature.
Hero of the day.
Atlantic Starr

Moving steadily besides the still waters.
May goodness follow me.
Ensemble Cymbalta.

Skyscrapers on top of cloud atlas,
Vanilla sky fools delight of a purple sky.
Rotating around the earth's axis.
Now let's end it on a good good note.
