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

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.

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.

Homeostasis

As white as the driven snow.
Coming back from a lot.
Chosen to be around.
Bubbly baking soda, region of snow.

Playgirl bunny, lil playboy star.
Than again too much confetti.
Black lives matter to the confederates.
Bedazzled diamond cut.
Coma snow white and the lover in you.

Gangsta's paradise Chicago Chicago.
Eat your wheaties.
Good and plenty with rice cakes.

Sparked them didn't you?
Full of wisdom and enigma.
Checkerboard chess pieces.
Quick, quick, quickly switch up chuck.
In a strategic state of mind.

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.

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.

Sam I am

Green Eggs and Ham
Bright is cleverer than smart
Take your time cosmic egg
Get there in this rhyme

Posses not my unconscious mind
Just like a seasoned ham

Essence of the soul
La Cremosa classical 
Nursery book rhyme

Sam I am
Tall Tale from of gold antiquities
museum of od rot it nots meaning wood
Green stripes outlines of mirth

Giza Plato with plutonium
Green eggs and ham

Nature renews the balance
In harmony empowered growth

Stability in prosperity moon rock
Third rock from the sun
